If you want to be added, comment here, but as of now I am very selectively adding people, SO BE WARNED.   PLEASE keep in mind that if you only want fic, just friend away--there is no need for me to add you.  Fics are posted publicly.

I BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING.  DID YOU?

This has been sitting in my files for quite a while, collecting desktop dust.  This isn't quite as action-packed as the other chapters (we all need a little downtime, eh?  Bella isn't Jack Bauer).  I have some plans for this fanfic but the fandom crack that propelled me to start this fic and take it as far as I have has considerably waned, which would explain the long delay in the updates.  I am simply not so inspired anymore, ppls.  Pls to be forgiving?  I'll try to squeeze out as many chapters as I can, but the battery's dying.

Gravity
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Edward and Bella fight their oh-so-passionate bodily urges while new happenings take place at Forks.  A vampire hunter and a ghost from Edward's past?  And Bella's clumsiness just makes everything worse.  Of course.  [BEDWARD]
SPOILERS: Takes place after Twilight, so this is pre-New Moon, and you can forget about Eclipse, that was whack.  Sorry Jacob-lovers, as much as I'd love him and Edward in a cockfight!fic over Bella, this ain't it.  I just didn't feel like writing him in.

OH HAI. NEW DHR FIC FROM ATTICA IN OUR MIDST?!

I actually was just missing the whole writing jig and I started to just type this out in this journal. I'm actually quite proud of it for something that took an hour and a half. NOW I could easily take another day and refine it, but I think all the rawness comes from in the moment, the more you refine it -- sometimes, the more you take out the feeling you had originally branched out on. SO ENJOY, BBS.

ALSO. THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE LOVELY spadul + ATTICA = SPATTICA SHIP. For the wifey, because she hasn't been feeling so well these days. ♥

The Sea
by attica
Rating: PG-13    Status: Complete/One-shot
Summary: The sea's only gifts are harsh blows.

I PROMISED AN EXCERPT!  So here it be!



STILL WERKIN' ON THAT RPATTZ NEKKEDNESS, kids!  I can't promise anything, though.  Every time I get remotely close to undressing the Human Diamond, I remember I still have a plot to follow. D:

♥

SO. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LONG TIME. Zooey Deschanel and M.Ward finally have their music up on myspace as She and Him, and how FUCKING ECSTATIC IS THIS BB HERE?! Here's one truth, if I never gave you one: I would go gay for Zooey in a SECOND. Or less than. And I am not ashamed. I hope I get to tell her that one day. Hopefully she'll take it in good humor and not be all like, EW, and slam me with a restraining order. They're listed as folk, and she has just got one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard, so jazzy and WHOLE and just GUH. However, if it came down to Celine Dion v. Zooey? I SHUDDER TO THINK.  (But Zooey's got those beautiful blue eyes!)

Also, I hopped on the intarweb just for a quick second to let all the twilight peeps know that I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON CHAPTER 7 OF GRAVITY.  RIGHT NOOOOOWWW.  Epic win?  We'll have to see.  So far I've got 10 pages, and Edward hasn't lost any clothing (yet) so obv, I have to get on that like R Kelly on a human urinal.  (See what I did there?)  I have to admit that after the ten pages it gets difficult, like an uphill climb.  Why?  Because I've forgotten what the hell else is supposed to happen after that.  WHOOPS.  I'm glad all this Twilight hype has got me back into fic-writing mode, though, because for a while there I thought it was a dead end (just like most of my other fics)(KNOCK ON WOOD, GUYZ).  But let's not get me started on that.  It's those instances that I look at all of the WIPs I abandoned that I feel like a failure.

OKAY.  Failure time over.  Hopefully I'll get to posting an excerpt of chapter 7 sooner or later to remind you guys that YES, IT'S STILL THERE and YES, YOU STILL LOVE IT even though there are loads of new Twilight fics out there be PWNin' and SHIT.

Found some BRACKIN' Twilight vids, and thought I'd share the love!  These are by Smokeyfizz, who is AMAZING, btw.  See for yourself!

New B/E fic, ya'lls, and I pulled out all the stops for this one.  And I didn't even bother with IC characterization, so I will TELL YOU NOW: DO NOT HARASS ME WITH WHINING/COMPLAINING/COMMENTING ABOUT THEIR OOC-NESS, because I will simply ignore.  That's right.  I borrowed Edward and Bella for the night, and I can do whatever I want, even if it means making them crack-addicts and resorting to robbing banks, which is a fic idea I will reserve for another day.  But seriously, I don't think they're even that OOC -- only if you're real anal about it (which is dumb, because Bella kinda sucks IC).  Yeah, given the situation?  It'd be weird if they weren't this way.

This brings up post-transformation issues with Bella mainly involving Edward's reaction -- not her bloodlust, but more so the thoughts that I've been having about what could possibly happen afterwards, conscience-wise for Edward.  And did I mention there's sex?

Geez, guys, really?  All that talking about the conflict w/ Edward's profound conscience and you click for teh sex?  WELL.  CLICK, I GUESS.

Summary: They haven't touched in years. B/E.

MY PEOPLES.

WHY ARE YOU HERE AND NOT HERE?!

I daresay, we need more people to ask me some more questions! Silly ones, serious ones, any ones! Do not make me hold my love as ransom!

However, I must say that I ♥ love those who have already scampered over there and asked me some FABULOUS questions!  Thank you!

My period in the spotlight will be over on the 28th.  Which is tomorrow.



I shall be waiting.

The Big Bright Green Pleasuring Machine
by attica
Rating: PG-13        Status: Complete - One-shot
Genre: I don't even think they've made up a category for this.  It'll mess with your head, frealz.
A/N: I honestly couldn't tell you what was going through my mind when I wrote this -- it was late, and I'd started this a long time ago.  Honest, it's just weird as hell. This was supposed to be sandi_wandi's prompt fic from the Dramione fic prompt orgy, but then it just spun way out of control -- SO BE PATIENT, SANDI.  Title cred goes to the brilliant Simon and Garfunkel, my heroes.
Summary: “Tell me to leave her,” I say. “Tell me to leave her for you.” Hermione/Draco/Ginny.

78 words

Touch Typing

My brother challenged me to a 100 wpm.  So obv I have a very arduous night ahead of me.  Just as well.  Totally skimped out on school on account of massive splitting headache upon wake and massive nails in throat feeling, not to mention bodily functions have decided to take vacation with no consideration of self -- see: bodily functions inconsiderate as left no note.

But am feeling better now, as bodily functions have come back, and I have forgiven, as Friday is church day, and one must always forgive inconsiderate bodily functions on Church day.

attica IN FOCUS at dhr_101 AS THEIR NEW AUTHOR IN FOCUS FROM JAN 14-28!

I have been doing a dance inside since sandi_wandi asked me a couple of days ago.  Okay, so she and itsbeenvery actually asked me a few months back but I was still apprehensive.  It's a big deal.  If I was more humble I would have said no, but alas, I am not, and YET I AM STILL TOTALLY PSYCHED.  No, I really don't belong there, but I think it'll be so much fun.  I always used to lurk there (and yes, participate in a few -- namely streetscribbles and bk11's spotlight) and just totally put these people up on a HIGH-ASS PIMP PEDESTAL MADE OF GOLD AND DIAMONDS.  They were akin to golden goddesses, Aphrodite, Athena and... Tresemme hair salon.  So to be asked was really an honor.  :D

So.  My biggest fear is that no one will care and no one will ask me questions except about why I'm such a bad person, why I still use plastic bags, and why I haven't bought a hybrid car, etc etc.  Actually, those are pretty good questions.  So my biggest fear right now is that NOBODY WILL ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS, PERIOD. 

Hence, I enlist the help of you, my fellow f-listers-- who obviously found something at least microscopic to like about me since you've friended me/I friended you and you felt obligated to friend back,-- to start thinking up some questions for me to answer!  For those who aren't familiar with the brill-tastic dhr_101, it's a community based on featuring prestigious and kick-ass Draco/Hermione authors for two weeks each, where anyone and everyone can then ask them questions about them/their fics.  Simple?  Very.  And also very fun.

Also, you don't have to have a livejournal to ask me a question.  You can post anonymously.

All of my Draco/Hermione fics will be up for discussion/questions, so no worries.  Come equipped with questions galore for me to answer, and I will be utmost giddy to answer back.  :D  SEE YOU TOMORROW, GUYS!

BE THERE OR BE A SQUARE BEAR.

This is my twilight_santa gift for shadowgirl573.  Sorry for the massive delay, but I hope this is okay -- I had a few qualms about it because, well, it doesn't quite fit the tone of the books simply because of the situation.  But if you don't like it, feel free to tell me, I'll take it like a (wo)man.  Hopefully it's worth my nosebleed.  :D 

How my Heart Behaves
by attica
Rating: PG-13                Status: Complete - one-shot.
Summary: Bella returns to Forks after an unexpected death.

“My moon and me
Not as good as we've been
It's the dirtiest clean I know.”
      - My Moon My Man, Feist.

I changed my Friends Only (Comment to be Added) entry to include a few statements. SO. HERE'S YA'LLS MEMO.

(NEARLY) ALL FANFICS/STORIES WILL BE ON PUBLIC. Due to the desire of wanting to stay close to my f-list (I'm vastly approaching 200 friends; that's a lot of friends), I would like to advise you (if you only want to keep count of updates and want to read my fics) to add me and not ask for an add in return.* Mutual adding = gruesome updates of my personal life, random crassness and spontaneous combustions of cute kitten pictures, etc.

Hence, those who comment here are thus obligated to: commenting semi-regularly/regularly to my posts, and being my intarweb friend. NOT ACQUAINTANCE. If you DON'T want to get to know me personally and are only here for my fics, JUST ADD. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

(Though, there are numerous benefits for being mutual friends. Some call me their sunshine in the morning.)

*I'm really not a bitch, it's just measures I have to take so I won't get overwhelmed.

Is that harsh?  Sometimes I feel like it is, because I don't generally like posts like that (it intimidates me).  But I believe this was necessary.  I don't like overcrowded f-lists.  The more personal and tight-knit, the better.  So, there you have it.  In case you didn't already know.  But I'm quite content with my current f-list, so it's all good.

Also, one of the moments I am completely and incandescently happy is when I am in the shower, only focusing on cleansing my body of daily impurities (and sometimes not).  Being clean makes me happy.  And the hot water feels good, especially in the winter.

Oddly, making a comeback to the Dramione community has proved arduous and difficult.  Maybe it's because the word 'comeback' is daunting all in itself.  So -- no "comeback."  So, a few words about this fic: it isn't finished, which means that there's another part, which means that it very well may be doomed.  (This is why I should stick to one-shots.)  Also, it's been brit-picked.  AND it's not the fic I promised to deliver -- the fic in question would be the Hermione/Draco/Ginny love triangle fic.  I worked on the two fics dually.  And, er, that one still has some kinks I've got to iron out.  Basically, they were twins, and this one happened to come out first.  (Which is also actually the story of my life.  I'm older than my twin bro by one minute.  BUT I DIGRESS.)

I don't know if it's something I should be proud of yet, but I do have plans for it. 


The Flatmate

Summary: “It’s been scientifically proven that knocking a bloke unconscious may also cause that same bloke to wake up to startling revelations about his life.” Draco learns that witnessing unreciprocated love isn’t as painful as experiencing it. DHr.  Part 1 of 2.
Rating: PG-13        Genre: Romance/Comedy.

Think about a woman. Doesn't know you're thinking about her.  Doesn't care you're thinking about her.  Makes you think about her even more.    - Martin Sage and Sybil Adelman, Northern Exposure.

...Just when I finally got used to writing 2007 down on all my papers.  Ain't life just funny that way?

Busy week -- spent it perfecting my tourist skills (which I have none, and I will elaborate later) in San Francisco, 8-hour long drive to and fro and numerous stops along the way.  More on that later -- temporary lodging right now.  Just wanted to greet all of my fabulous friends

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I promise to be catching up with my f-list once I get home, and I've spent many a-time abusing myself in heinous ways for not delivering that Xmas Hermione/Draco/Ginny fic I promised to have before Xmas.  But it's coming, I promise.  It's just a wee bit late, that's all. (BEGS FOR FORGIVENESS FROM sandi_wandi.  MERCY.  MERCY.)

Damn.  The new year and I'm not coming through.  NOT A GOOD SIGN.

MARATHON SEASON 3 BUFF-AAAAY.

Plus, I'm getting the Season 2 DVD of The Office.



OBV I WILL BE MASTERING THE ART OF COUCH POTATO OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.*

HAAAAAAAAAY.


(* with breaks to visit San Fran for 3 days and to write fanfic, OF COURSE.  I promise to get my DHr Christmas fic out by Xmas.)
