 | 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) kalquessa, who earned herself a shiny hat as Queen of Word Count for all these stories.

 | 10:19 pm - Fanfic pet peeve
It's small, and since I don't read a lot of het, doesn't apply across the board, but:
I hate it when fic authors marry of a character but neglect to say who they've married. Especially if the reason given is because a) it's not important to the story, even though said significant other is mentioned/present, b) they don't want to anger various 'ship subsets, or c) because they haven't thought about it and don't know themselves.
It seems to me to be lazy, slipshod, and not creative. Pick a canon character, or make someone up, but don't just leave a faceless gap. Please? The poor character deserves that much.

 | 10:32 am - Wow, dreams.
So last night I had a longish, realistic dream which included things like falling asleep in an airport and getting to a church meeting only after it had ended.
Then I dreamed that I woke up, and the dream had predicted true things, but the actual day (through no hard work of my own) turned out much better than the dream had.
Weird.

I am ridiculously proud to live in the United States of America. Wouldn't give up my citizenship if you begged me or paid me millions of dollars--it's truly the best place in the world to belong, at least to my mind. :)
God bless America!

 | 10:03 am - Stargate specials at Amazon.com
Okay, you guys. I don't have the $$ for these items, but thought some of you might:
Amazon.com's Gold Box special for the day is Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series for the lovely low price of $131.99. That's fairly impressive as markdowns go.
The same link will take you to the page where the related "lightening deals" are happening today; they are all 'Gate-related, and change every few hours. A sale on Ark of Truth just ended, and now season 1 of Atlantis is on sale. More sales will be opened up at 1pm, 4pm, and 7pm.
Just FYI. :)

 | 12:42 pm - Weighing in (sort of) on the warnings discussion
I haven't followed this closely, because there seems to be lots of fail (and some good points) on both sides, and I don't need fandom stress on top of Real Life at the moment. But I'm not sure I needed to, anyway, given what I'm seeing people post about.
I've been aware of the triggers vs. preference divide for a long time, not that it came up much in warning my own fic. (And despite the fact that I have no triggers myself--I have a *lot* of squicks, but it's definitely a different thing.) If anything, I'm glad more people are being made aware of this, and sad that it took a lot of fandom this long to catch on.
My thought, the way I handle this: warn for what you can, and don't worry about the times you might fail (or about really obscure things). Plenty of time to deal with such things when they come up, if they come up--you can be responsible for educating yourself and warning for things you know are likely to be triggery for some people, but you can't be responsible for unusual ones, or for everything. This is, I feel, an acceptable middle ground in my quest to be courteous to all my readers and yet at the same time not allow myself to be consumed by paranoia or unnecessary guilt (which is quite a battle sometimes without adding more burdens to my own psyche).
Examples: I warn for character death (a holdover from my time in The Sentinel fandom, when that was the Rule of Law); for violence beyond what the show would use (and I always warn for torture, even if the show goes there regularly, such as on Alias); I've warned for references to child sexual abuse, and one of my fics has a non-specific "triggery" warning, because I can't specifically warn without giving away the entire plot, but it's the only fic of mine that actually sort of did trigger someone, so it clearly needed something.
I also warn for AU, list pairings, and if necessary list other relevant "genre" stuff. I don't warn for angst, unless it's really extreme.

 | 05:28 pm - Numbers: How Can One Keep Warm Alone?
Fandom: Numb3rs
Title: How Can One Keep Warm Alone?
Genre: Het, Larry/Megan
Setting: mid-fourth season (post-"Tabu"); this is a direct sequel to my fic Out in the Cold, which you should probably read first.
Author's Notes: Thank you to feliciakw, my N3 beta who wanted more *g*; to kalquessa, who requested "actual het fic" and was my Beta of Squee; and to mistraltoes, who worked through adversity to give her excellent notes.
Summary: His mouth curves in that small understanding smile, but he doesn’t say anything, and she would turn and kiss him for that if she didn’t really want that hot chocolate.

 | 10:47 am - Gen Meme
Stolen from yahtzee63:
List 10 platonic male/female relationships in fiction that you enjoy. Rules:
1. They interact in canon, preferably in a significant (apply your own interpretation of such) way.
2. They are not related. They can, however, view each other as surrogate family.
3. Neither has confessed or implied romantic love for the other in canon.
4. They have not dated, been married, had sex, or made out in canon, on purpose, and of their own free will.
5. A popular fanon ship is ok (though preferably not your ship) but a canon pairing you wish were just friends is out.
6. Try to avoid using the same character or series twice.
This'll be fun, since my favorite friendships are usually same-gender, and male/female platonic relationships are more rare in fiction (and the rules block at least two of my choices--Mulder & Scully, Xander & Willow). But here goes!

| 05:08 pm - Remix the drabble stories are up!
Can't reveal what I wrote for this round, but here's the round 6 tag--looking for the 10 index posts, and you'll be able to find remixes by fandom.
My fic Day Has Gone Down was remixed as Ten Words. :)
There are some great House, Bones, and X-Files fics. Keep an eye on the rating and pairings, though, we have a few really weird ones in this mix.

 | 10:34 am - Poem for the Day
(I love this poem, and yet it's a challenge for me: to see what he sees, always.)
34. As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame
by Gerard Manley Hopkins
AS kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies dráw fláme;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell’s
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same: 5
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves—goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying Whát I do is me: for that I came.
Í say móre: the just man justices;
Kéeps gráce: thát keeps all his goings graces; 10
Acts in God’s eye what in God’s eye he is—
Chríst—for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men’s faces.

 | 01:11 pm - SPN RPG Book Released (finally)
Okay. I don't table-top RPG much anymore (did some Rebellion-era Star Wars with my brothers and first sister-in-law a few years back), but I've been keeping tabs on the Supernatural RPG book that was supposed to be released a long time ago.
It's finally out--not in paper form, though, but as a .pdf file available for download.
I'm very tempted to buy it, even though I doubt I'll be doing or joining such an RPG at any point in the near future. Just because it would be awesome to have. *fights impulse to purchase*

 | 11:10 am - Friendslist update
Okay, I just did a trim of my friendslist for the first time in a while. If you regularly read this LJ and comment, you're probably still on it--I mostly just cut out communities I no longer participate in, a few people whom I know have stopped using their LJs, and a few whom I simply haven't heard from in forever (i.e. they don't post, they don't comment...).
If any of the above people are reading this, I don't mind if you keep me friended; it's very flattering. And if you believe I deleted you by mistake, please comment and let me know. :)

Hey, Numb3rs fans! Since we're in the middle of hiatus, juleself has decided to run a poll where you can rate every episode of Numb3rs from 1 to 5, and see what other fans thought of them.
Go to her journal to participate in The Big Numb3rs Eppesode Rating.
I've already done it. :)

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.
It's not just one. :)

| 12:35 am - Hmmm.
After I posted the little Numb3rs ficlet Uneven, my brain took a left turn and decided that it was just the beginning of a longer fic. (I think the role reversal h/c kind of grabbed me harder than I had expected it to.)
So I started writing. And made notes in which I asked myself whether I was writing "Numb3rs apocafic, God help me." And decided that no, of course not, there's no way to write that without going down a really dark path.
Then I discussed said story with kalquessa, and through no fault of her own something she said made me think of something specific, something Charlie would totally do that would explain the entire actual setting of the fic so far, but it would mean...it would mean that.... Crap.
I think I might be sort of writing Numb3rs apocafic after all. WTF, brain?
