Moved inish and meme-ing!

Okay. Got all my boxes in my room, thanks to help from the ever-wonderful Lily and Alma, mostly unpacked, and put a self-imposed moratium on starting up RP threads until I am fully unpacked.

In the meantime, have a couple of memes on my personal journal. Because that takes up less time than RP, really. Reply to as many as you want, repost if you like.

1. Comment. I'll pick one of your icons, and tell you what the story I'd write about it is.

2. Choose one of my icons. Tell me what the story you'd write about it is.

3. Five things ficlet meme. Comment with five things you want to see written, and I'll do it. (Five songs Kaiba hates, five things Tobias never told Rachel, five bones Jason likes breaking, etc).

Fandoms are: Animorphs, Archie Comics (Nostalgia kick, SHUT UP), Batman/DC, Bruno and Boots, Chrestomanci, Discworld, Good Omens, Gravitation, Harry Potter, Naruto, Othello (the manga, seriously), Petshop of Horrors, Pokemon, Sailor Moon season R (please ask me for fic with Prince Diamond or Prince Sapphire or both, please), Yu-Gi-Oh, William Brown books.

Ooh, I'll throw a couple at you and let you play with them as you please ^_^

1) Five things Ned Coates never told either the Keel he knew before or the one that came afterwards. (Discworld, in particular Night Watch. Please tell me you've read Night Watch ^^)
2) Five ways in which D saved Leon, of which Leon only knows of one. (PSoH)

I have totally read Night Watch and love you for that prompt. XD And the second! *squees at getting to write for new fandoms!* I'll do the icon thing first, though, and then try the two prompts.

...Or, well, actually checked your userpics now and know absolutely nothing about them to write from. *dies* So incredibly sorry. Right. Here goes with the fics then. *will put them in a separate comment*

Five things Ned Coates never told either the Keel he knew before or the one that came afterwards.

1. Keel was the father he'd always wanted.
2. Keel was the lover he'd never had.
3. Coates knew revolutions didn't last, but a man had to fight for something and laws not worth obeying weren't worth dying for either.
4. When it came to eccentricity versus stability, Coates would pick stability every time. You needed to have your feet on the ground to build castles in the air.
5. "I'm sorry."

Oh, brilliant. Seriously, just brilliant. Your PSoH's one is wonderful, but this is so totally and perfectly Ned that it just makes me want to give you a big huge hug while squeeing in total delight. I didn't know 5 lines of writing could have that effect on me *grin*.

I do love the PsoH's one as well, the build up is just so wonderfully done and the situations are all just so D and Leon.

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2006-09-12 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! XD I'm glad that it came out okay since both of those are fandoms that I don't think I've tried writing for before. Especially with slash tossed in.

And since someone else picked Vetinari-Vimes further down the thread, I'm thinking you started a trend. ^_~

So glad you liked them!

...Argh, not so good, first try at writing PsoH

Five ways in which D saved Leon, of which Leon only knows of one. (PSoH)

1. T-chan got annoyed. D told him to be calm. Leon doesn't know about this one because he still thinks that T-chan is just a weird animal who couldn't really hurt him.

2. Leon tried to order take-away from Chii-Wan-Sang's. If D hadn't interfered, Leon would have been constipated for the next week. Leon knows about this one.

3. Leon gave a member of the Chinese mob a parking ticket. It's only because he's the Count's special friend that the ticket wasn't found tucked into the shirt pocket of Leon's corpse. Leon suspects this one, but doesn't know.

4. Leon nearly walked into the wrong room; D stopped him by saying tea was ready. That kind of occurance is too common for Leon to even think twice about.

5. While Leon was looking for D, he hired a plane and flew into the skies. The plane malfunctioned and went down in flames; Leon survived, and a white-winged bird slowly burnt to ashes in his place, wings spread out white over his unconscious body.

If I wrote a story about that icon, it would be about Ginny getting a motorbike. A red, sleek, sexy motorbike with black trim, enchanted to fly like Sirius' or Mr. Weasley's car. She'd pull up outside of Harry's bedroom window, knock twice, and when he wakes up and comes over, she'd pull him into a kiss and practically drag him out of the window. Then they'd ride off into the sunset, chasing the light.

What a fun story! It's sweet and romantic and hot and flying is my favorite thing about the HPverse (well, besides Harry, that is). It's really cool that you picked an icon that was intended to be defiant in the face of jerks and turned it into such a fun thing.

*ahem* Me! Me me me me me me!! PICK MEEEEEEEE >.> <.<

Ok, I'll stop now.

*hugs* Love you lots, Sorsha. I'll pick you anytime to play on my team if we have to do kickball! XD

This story was about a girl with wings. Rainbow-colored wings. Nobody else in her village had wings, so they thought that she was a freak and tried to cut off her wings when she was born, but they would always grow back. The other kids didn't like her and threw rocks at her. Nobody would play with her, and animals thought she smelled wrong.

One day, her father came into her room with rope and a burning torch. He said he was going to cut her wings off again and cauterize them so that they wouldn't grow back this time and she could be normal. If he succeeded in doing that, then maybe he could marry her off. Otherwise, he'd have to sell her to the gypsies for their freak show. He told her to hold her wrists so that he could tie them together, just like he did every time before that he'd made her go through the painful process.

Instead, she flew away.

Hurray for the moved-in! Now maybe you'll be online? ^^

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, hopefully! XD

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
This one shall keep this in mind so this one can do at a later date if that is okay with master-yami-sama-love ♥

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2006-09-06 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs* No worries, Dani. I can even do the first one myself, where I pick an icon of yours and write about it.

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2006-09-07 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
*snugsback* Sure ^^ :)

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2006-09-22 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
1) Any icon ^^

2) Using Image I could write about how they just keep going with preperation and never actually get on with anything - a night full of non-stop teasing that would lead to much frustration by one and amusement from the other.

3) Five things that Sasuke thinks about daily.

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2006-10-29 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
1) Revenge.
2) Itachi.
3) His family.
4) Getting stronger.
5) Naruto.

I shoulda chosen something harder :P

[identity profile] yukirien.livejournal.com 2006-09-06 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Glad to hear you're almost unpacked! I'm almost done too; gotta get up my wall decor. :)

1. Commenting...
3. I don't suppose I could ask for Shakespeare's Othello, hehe. I miss Gravi anyways. Yuki's 5 favorite times of the day (Hours and minutes, that is). I'm an angst whore, so take that how you will. ;)

2 later.

If I were going to write a story about this, it would be about how Ryuichi lost Kumagoro because he'd put Kumagoro on top of his head to get a better view and then forgotten he'd done that. And Ryuichi would go around asking everyone if they've seen Kumagoro and the story would be about how everyone would refuse to tell him and just tease him instead, except for Tohma who'd tell Ryuichi to turn around then take Kumagoro off Ryuichi's head and hold it out to him when he turns back and saying that Kumagoro had been visiting him. XD

Yuki's 5 favorite times of the day.

1) 3:21AM.

Shuichi's asleep by then, and Yuki can type in peace. It's not late enough for him to feel tired, but it's late enough for everything to be just that little bit quieter that lets him concentrate. And he likes the way the numbers count down towards something that'll never happen.

2) 8:00AM

It's a very precise time. For Yuki, it feels like the definition of morning, crisp green letters glowing on his digital alarrm clock. The eight is made up of two zeros; Yuki secretly finds that amusing though he'll never admit to it.

3) 11:11AM

Coffee tastes best at this hour. Yuki carries a mug of it over to the window and sips at it thoughtfully, taking a much-needed break from his writing to watch the (washed, made-up and badly-dressed) masses that buy his books.

4) 3:29PM

Shuichi always calls him from the studio to make sure Yuki isn't lonely or missing him. Yuki keeps the call short and sounds annoyed at being interrupted, but Shuichi calls him anyway.

5) 8:27PM

Shuichi's home.

Five things Vetinari contemplated telling John Keel.

Five bones *Steph* likes breaking.

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2006-09-11 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Ow. While attempting to pull my hardcover copy of Night Watch from under the other Pratchett books piled on top of it, they all fell down and hit me. I wince in pain and type this out. XD

Five things Vetinari contemplated telling John Keel.

1) "It does not make the least difference who's in power. People will always be the same."
2) "I saved your life twice. A third time is not guaranteed."
3) That Keel could lead the city, but never rule it. That's Vetinari's task.
4) He'd known Keel was there (http://www.drworm.net/Bolero.htm).
5) "Duck."

...Okay, so 4 isn't STRICTLY canon, but it needed to be referenced. Really.

*reposted for coding errors*

Five bones *Steph* likes breaking.

1) Collarbone. It's traditional.
2) Fingers. It's really hard for anyone to punch her when their fingers are broken and even better, it's tough to pull a trigger or dial a cellphone with broken fingers.
3) Knees. It only takes 40 pounds of pressure to break anyone's knees, and once they're down, Steph's got a good chance of stomping on their fingers.
4) Ribs. Because it feels a little like saying goodbye, to just kick them hard and listen to them suck in a shocked breath.
5) Pelvis. Just because.
