Drop a deuce if you want to be added, AND LIFE WILL BE GRAND!  However, if you're only here for fiction, I suggest going over to thegreatcomma , my fic journal (as of now, I'm in the process of reposting my older works there, but my newer works are definitely going to only be posted there).

I was originally gonna turn this into some kind of fanfic, just because I thought it could be, but then I got a wee bit too lazy (this isn't too unusual these days) and just left it alone. But hey! It's not too long, at least? Try it out, at least.

HELLO! I am here to shamelessly promote a new community I just made (see banner below) and also to say this:

THE INAUGURATION. ARETHA, ARETHA, ARETHA. CAN I TELL YOU HOW MUCH I ALMOST PEED IN MY PANTS WHEN SHE SANG WITH THAT RIDIC BUT TOTALLY COOL (BECAUSE SHE IS, AFTER ALL, ARETHA) RHINESTONE BOW-HAT THING? I really honestly wanted to cry.

NOW INTRODUCING:


ALSO KNOWN AS: michael_mia !

WHAT IS THIS COMMUNITY ABOUT, YOU ASK?  WELL, ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?  I was having a really hard time trying to find GOOD PD M/M fanfic, and come to find out there really IS NO fanfic community for it, so I just HAD to.  And I know PD is totally immature and whatever, but when I found out the last book came out, my inner 12 year old fangirl squeed and couldn't help it.  DON'T JUDGE ME.

So if you know what the hell I am talking about, and are interested, JOIN!  I plan on posting one of my PD fics up soon, but I'm trying to get traffic going too. 

HEY GUYS! Things have been kind of whacky at home, but I'm not going to further weird you out with any details. BUT I did start an original story, and it's pretty much flowing, so this is good news, mon amies!

It is posted here at my fic journal, thegreatcomma . Feedback would be amazing. It's still in the baby green stage, so there'll be a lot of work left to do with it.

Here's a little snippet to intrigue you:

It was this that made him despise himself. He asked himself this shameless question over and over again, and every time it made him feel worse than the last: how could he grieve over his best friend’s death when she was around? It was cruel that the two had to be paired this way, that they couldn’t in any way be separated, that every time he tried to scope his mind on his loss he got swept away by her, as if suddenly she’d become an overwhelming force with iron jaws. He couldn’t stand himself, standing there with the rest of the crying crowd. His reunion with his best friend in four years and it was sullied beyond repair because he was in love with his sister.

He left before it was finished. He went to his car, locking himself in and slumping in his seat, digging his palms into the sockets of his eyes. He felt safer there. The more distance, the better, the more the adolescent and immature pining became bearable. The more he could grieve appropriately, respectfully. The less he’d feel like an undeserving asshole.

SO! It's the new year, and I never feel any different. But I hope you guys had a good new years!

BIG NEWS THOUGH. WAAAAAY BIG. NEWS THAT JUST ABOUT SHOOK UP MY 2008 AT THE VERY LAST 15 SECONDS. We were counting down with that big show on ABC with the big glowing ball and the Jonas brothers, and my cousin yells over at me, DID YOU KNOW WHAT ZOOEY DESCHANEL AND BEN GIBBARD ARE ENGAGED? (The super cute girl from Elf and She & Him and that sad dude from Death Cab for Cutie.)

THAT'S RIGHT GUYS. ARE YOU GETTING THIS, streetscribbles ? I mean, Idk if you really care about this, BUT I DO. BECAUSE HELLO, LET'S JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF BABIES THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE. GORGEOUS WITH LIMITLESS MUSICAL ABILITY AND MASSIVE AMOUNTS x INFINITY OF UNTARNISHABLE (idek if that's a real word) INDIE CRED? It says they got engaged around Christmastime, SO I'M LATE, BUT WHATEVER. I'm so blown away by this news, it's pathetic.

ALSO! I uploaded some new/old art at my flickr account. Take a look-see! I have a lot more in the queue, so there'll be more coming. Here's a little example:

READ @thegreatcomma .

So the fic reveals over at dmhgficexchange  are up! (BTW, derryere , I TOTALLY KNEW THAT WAS YOU THAT WROTE THAT ONE FIC. IKNEWITIKNEWITIKNEWIT.)

I was totally stressing over the fics I wrote (I was a pinch-hitter for the LOVELY sandi_wandi  ), but I really can't say how totally fucking glad I am that I did that shit, man. It was epic and grand and it was hell at the time, but I gave birth to some beautiful babies in this exchange. And the mods? Deserve all of us as sex slaves for a day, because I really can't imagine how much work goes into organizing the whole thing.

. . .SO HERE ARE THE BEAUTIFUL BABIES THAT SLIPPED OUT OF MY VAG CRAZY MIND. One was for sandi_wandi  , and the other was for pompanddoors  (btw, the two of you gave such stellar reviews, I LOVE YOU BOTH!) [to read the stories, just click on the polaroids].


</lj></lj></lj></lj></lj>l

ALSO!  An important note: PLEASE FRIEND thegreatcomma  ,  as that is where I will be posting all of my fics now.  I'm in the process of reposting a few there now.  It's just that it gets so cluttered with personal bsns and fic here.
</lj>

HELLO!  So, enough twiddling of fingers, here comes the self-pimpage.

dramione_awards  is having their seconding party, which means that loyal fans of fics get to second their fav fic in hopes of getting them to win a pretty banner and some bragging rights! SO THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!

How to Catch Fish (for Best Snark -- though it's beyond me why this is there, its ass is going to get kicked, POOR NOOB FIC!) and Everybody Wants to Rule the World (for Best Romance -- ditto on the ass-kicking here) are up for seconding.

DO WE REALLY NEED TO WIGGLE MY EYEBROWS AT YOU?

No seriously, there are a lot of great fics up, go ahead and vote, I'm all out of sexual favors to offer, so there will be no maneuvering of the votes here.

A/N: Figured it’s been too long since I wrote any T/R, and the T/R ship def needs too much love to be ignored. And HELLO! AU fic, coming your way. Big fat apologies if my facts are all wrong, IT’S BEEN AWHILE, and they’re all most likely intentional. All I know is, I want to write some T/R, so that’s what I’m going to do. Tobias needs to get some tail.

If You Find Yourself Caught in Love
original, one-shot
rating: PG
summary: Because there is no smooth landing when you fall in love for the first time; not when it happens, not when it ends. And there is no being safe.


I am going to talk about the first time I fell in love. And I’m calling it the first time because there’ll be a time when it hits you the way it does, like you’ve just been sideswiped by a truck on a sunny day and you wake up in a hospital bed weeks later only to realize you don’t know who you are, but you’re one happy bastard. There is going to be that time, in the midst of all those other times, and it is going to stick out like a sore thumb. It’ll be like – like living your life through black and white and then waking up to the prodigious invention of Technicolor. Like hearing music for the first time after being stuck in prison for the past thirty years. See, there is going to be that time for you, just like there was for me, when you’re going to feel like you’ve just woken up. You’ve been living with your eyes closed this entire time, and you’ve just opened your eyes – and you’ve just woken up. And everything will seem new. Everything will feel new. And all of your ligaments and body parts will feel fuzzy and super-sensitized, and you’ll feel like singing. God, you’ll feel like singing. And doing a happy little tap number in the middle of the grocery aisle. And your ankles will get tangled up, and your voice will break, but God, you’ll do it all anyway. Just because you can. Just because you have never felt so much in your entire life, so alive, and it’s impossible not to look stupid and silly.

How to Catch Fish

Rating: PG-13 Status: Complete/One-shot
Summary: “Some words of wisdom, Granger,” she hears him say from the other side of the door, “whenever some poor soul tells you they love you, it’d be preferable if you didn’t kick them out of your flat and slam the door in their face.” There’s a pause. “Just my two pence, that’s all.”

I've found my flashdrive! Sneaky little thing was strung up with my necklaces. THE WORLD IS GOOD AGAIN. MAYBE. BETTER, AT LEAST.

ALSO: I'VE POSTED UP SCANS OF SOME OF MY ARTWORK ON MY FLICKR ACCOUNT. SO GET YOUR ASSES OVER THERE, BITCHES, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY. (Not really, but it would be nice!) I've accumulated more artwork since I got Michael to scan those for me. This is the problem with having a scanner that doesn't work. It doesn't work. So I'll probably only be updating my flickr sporadically, depending on who I can butter up to scan them for me.

HERE'S A TASTE!

EUREKA!  AN UPDATE!
