 | 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]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) kalquessa, who earned herself a shiny hat as Queen of Word Count for all these stories.

| 03:38 pm - Genre books relevant to theological discussions: seeking recs
I'm sort of half-way ripping this idea off from someone-- tree_and_leaf, iirc. So apologies and credit due there.
kalquessa once said that she could bring me just about any book, say "point to God," and I could do so, and there He would be, and would have been there all along.
In keeping with that skill, and because I love books and theology and talking about them together, I'm trying to put together five to six genre books that would create really good, diverse jumping-off points for theological discussion, and which could be paired with specific Biblical texts for comparison. (I'm open to stretching things widely on that point--making people think larger would be part of the whole idea.)
However, I'm having an interesting time coming up with specific books that might work really well. I would love recommendations, especially since I would like to toss it up and use stuff from different genres... I have a bunch of sci-fi, for example, but not much horror, and shockingly not much fantasy. I'm not looking for strictly or obviously Christian work. As an example, two books I'd really like to use are Paladin of Souls and IT. The Time Traveler's Wife would also be REALLY good.

| 03:40 pm - 10 Books to Read in 2012: Dust and Shadows, by Lyndsay Faye
At the beginning of this year, I made a list of ten books I wanted to be sure to read in 2012. I said I would try to review each of them for you guys. Well, I'm slightly behind, but since I'm not quite done with numbers 2 and 3 of the list, I thought I'd go ahead and review the first one I read.

 | 09:28 am - Finally, a tune for this Supernatural lullaby!
Way back when, kalquessa wrote a piece of fan poetry, a lovely four-stanza lullaby that she imagined a hunter might sing to her child around the Samuel Colt era.
She called it Cradle Song for a Hunter's Child.
And now we have a beautiful, singable tune for it, thanks to chibifrieza.

 | 09:23 pm - Quote of the Day
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
― St. Thérèse de Lisieux

 | 10:05 am - Pimping the 2012 Finish-a-thon!
Okay, I cannot do this ficathon this year, but I would love to watch some of you guys finish some of your outstanding incomplete fics! :)
Remember all those poor, neglected plot bunnies that have been starving from lack of attention, because all those ficathons kept on having higher priority? The stories you wish you could finish, if only you could find the time? Well, fear not, the finish-a-thon is coming to the rescue!
The finish-a-thon is a ficathon, with all the ficathon-like things like deadlines and fellow volunteers to encourage you, but with this ficathon, you write your own ideas. But since part of the encouragement of a ficathon is writing things for other people, what we're going to do, is vote for which story ideas people should write.
Please check out the links here, including the signup form and the handy-dandy website! :)
SIGNUPS CLOSE MARCH 30, 2012!

| 09:56 pm - Update: work, fandom, writing
*flops into desk chair*
Whew. Okay. So, the one thing nobody told me about marriage was how hard it is to mesh the schedules of two people who have each been single and independent for well over a decade. So, the state of the Izh, in short bursts:
( The Day Job )
( Current fandom stuff--SPN, White Collar, Castle )
( What I am currently writing )
Over and out, for the moment.
