12:00 pm - Izhilzha's FanFiction Sticky Post
Welcome to izhilzha’s FanFic Sticky Post!

I've written a lot of fic in at least 21 fandoms. Everything that's been posted to the 'Net is here, to the best of my knowledge. I'm a genficcer who loves the canon of her shows, so unless otherwise noted these fics are gen and canon-compliant. (I've marked anything AU, and the few het fics I have are marked with the pairing.)

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me decide how to organize this post, with a special nod to [info]kalquessa, who earned herself a shiny hat as Queen of Word Count for all these stories.

It's that time of year again! I'm not flush this season, but hey, we are all in fandom, so I shall be trawling all your lists to see if there is anything I can fulfill anyway. :)

11:07 am - Thanksgiving
"I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders.
I will be glad and exult in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High."

Psalm 9:1-2

Quite a lot to be thankful for, even now--especially now )

God is good all the time; and all the time, God is good.

03:27 pm - Question for the wine drinkers on my flist
I'm thinking I want to try making mulled wine this year. It sounds yummy, and I've never done it.

Anyone have good recipes that you love/use and would like to share with the newbie? I'm very confused by the differences I'm finding on the internet, and would love some more personal recommendations.

Thanks! :)

12:39 pm - Loss and letting go
(disclaimer: this isn't because anything traumatic has happened or is happening. it's a general comment because this hurts every time something reminds me of it.)

I'm very good at commitment, at loyalty, at devotion. It's one of the few gifts I recognized in myself as a child, and that I have kept into adulthood.

I've tried to learn how to let go since I was young, since the first time someone I loved left. I'm still not that good at it. I mean, it still hurts, and I still flinch and anticipate the leaving, even when it's not literal and even when it's not emotional (just physical distance).

Sometimes I wonder if the end result will be that I have used up all the room in my heart, and can no longer take in newness, can no longer reach out with any sort of dedicated resources.

I hope not. I hope to learn to let go and yet somehow find that place in my heart renewed rather than lost. I hope to find a place or people here where I am, not so far away I can't reach them; to find that as I grow older I have more room for love, not less.

But I'm not at all sure I can manage that. God? Unending, unfailing, and impossible to contain--help me.

11:04 am - Haha, you guys, my brain is awesome
I dreamed about ALL 10 of the Doctor's incarnations last night. Seriously, all of them (although not all at once). I specifically recall interacting with Two, Four, Six (a nice trick, as I have yet to see Six in anything), and Nine.

\o/

(It undoubtedly had something to do with the hours I spent yesterday reading Rick Morris' fan graphic novel, The Ten Doctors. Which you should all go read now.)

11:43 pm - ....omg show
Supernatural, tonight you made me do what I haven't done since Sam died in "All Hell Breaks Loose": entirely unable to cry, I had to remind myself to breathe, because what happened was too awful and emotional to be borne.

I'm sad, and oh, I hoped we might get through without this. (Not that I expected to.)

And yet: it was perfect. Well done.

12:45 pm - A Letter to my Yuletide Author:
Dear Yuletide Writer,

This is my first time being involved in Yuletide, and I'm so excited! I can't wait to see what kind of story you'll write for me! I'm probably a bit more restrained in my tastes than some (please forgive the length of this letter), but don't worry, within a few boundaries I'm pretty open, and will be fascinated to see what you come up with.

My tastes in fic run strongly to gen, with an occasional side trip into het romance. I don't like slash, largely because I'm All About Canon (I don't tend to go for non-canon het pairings either), and because I adore rich portrayals of close non-sexual relationships, whether family or friendship (especially friendship-as-close-as-family). If you normally slash the characters I've asked for... I dunno, think of this as a challenge. *g*

General ficcish likes and squicks )

And now the fandoms:

Ardath Mayhar -- Golden Dream: A Fuzzy Odyssey )

The Invisible Man )

Life on Mars (UK) )

Miami Vice )

Thank you for being my Yuletide author! I'm looking forward to this a lot, and remember, none of this stuff is set in stone. I want to see what you come up with! Happy writing!

Okay, so, the thing about finishing a Patrick O'Brian novel after watching a bunch of Life on Mars is that Jack Aubrey starts to sound like Phillip Glenister.

...I don't know when I'll have time to thoroughly process this, much less write as huge a reaction post as I want to, but...I just finished series 2 of Life on Mars.

I'm neither shocked, nor annoyed, nor overly impressed by the ending, except that it felt artistically quite right, and it's making me very, very thinky about my own life. (I am a lot like Sam Tyler, and therefore I would get philosophical about this anyway, but the specifics have really, really grabbed me.)

So. Awesome show. More comments later. (If you want to bring up something in the comments here, go for it; everyone who hasn't seen it, 'ware spoilers.)

10:19 am - OH EM GEE YOU GUYS
I just signed up for Yuletide. I'm...kind of terrified right now. I've never done this before, but now that I actually have some small fandoms that I could write, I...just went and did it. Um.

Wow. I'm insane. *g*

08:16 am - Happy birthday, [info]kerravonsen!
I (and Don, see icon) am very happy that you were born, and that God blessed us with the internets so that I could know you and read your fic and enjoy the workings of your clever, thoughtful mind.

Hurray for you! \o/

And may you see many happy returns of the day.

04:18 pm - Quick update
Orientation completed; I am now a tutor, and trying to study up so I don't make an idiot of myself.

Also, if you don't see me online, it's because our internet is down. :( At least until Tuesday.

Speaking of which, any chance I could get one of you, an RL friend (someone with my phone number already), to be my posting proxy at [info]mininanowrimo until then? Give me a call if that would work out.

06:31 pm - Don and his team storm the offices of CBS
Oh, I am not pleased. Not pleased at all, my precious.

Apparently, CBS is cutting the number of episodes ordered this season.

From the usual 22 to 16. So we're almost half way through the season already.

This probably means it's the show's last season, as well. *huge sigh* Guess we'll never see that wedding. *enters a deep blue sulk*

(What? I will miss this show, dang it!)

Well, sort of. Small ones. But I have to share with somebody. DO NOT click underneath the cut unless you want to be spoiled for the basic plot of an upcoming SPN ep, and a casting spoiler for N3.

Yeah, I'm a little bit excited right now. (Easily pleased, that's me.)

01:12 pm - My Favorite Fannish Characters Meme
I know I did this before, years ago, but I have acquired new fandoms since then! Snurched, this time, from [info]dodger_winslow:

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.

2) Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.

3) When someone guesses correctly, strikethrough the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.


My list of 20, in no particular order )
