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

Stolen from astrogirl2:
I have 81 works archived at AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 81 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.
I'm also willing to make sure I come answer these things--I haven't been on LJ as much as I would like, the past few months. Come play!

 | 02:00 pm - 10 Books to Read in 2013: The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
I really wanted to get a better head start on the List of Ten this year, since I didn't get all my books off last year's list read. And I'm doing better so far. I've finished one book, I'm over halfway through another, and I have a third waiting in the wings.
The first book off the list this year is ( The Name of the RoseCollapse )
Anyone else who's read this book, please, comment. I'd love to chat about it.

Another Lenten post! Hopefully it is less depressing than the last one. :)

I meant to try and write some contemplative posts for Lent again this year, but real life sort of put a stop to that for a while. Nevertheless, it also gave me ample opportunity to actually be contemplative. Hence this post.

So, we've gotten a better look in our apartment, were allowed to take some stuff out, and have gotten better information about what the fire did the to the building and what that means for us the residents.

 | 11:54 am - Seeking an icon: memento mori style
Hey, all you lovely LJ peeps and icon makers,
I am searching for a specific type of icon. I want something in the artistic memento mori style. There's more information and some photo examples at the link, but the phrase means something to remind one of death. It's often done in art as a still life including food or flowers or jewels to represent the passing pleasures of life, plus a skull and an hourglass, symbolizing death and how quickly time passes.
Anyone know where I might find such an icon? It's proved difficult to search, and I'm not good at making my own.

Good news: mrizh and I have a place to stay rent-free until our place is ready to move back into. :) I'm thanking God every day for that--it's a condo owned by his workplace, and it's pretty nice (although not as nice as our own home).
The one downside: it's in Calabasas, which is rather far away from my work and from the nerve centers of L.A.--Hollywood, downtown, etc. My commute is an hour each way, which is fine, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how much margin I need to give myself to compensate for the rush-hour freeway traffic... and thus, how early I need to get up, and how early I need to go to sleep so that I can actually make myself get up.
The past two days were a little unusual, though: Wednesday morning, I got out to my car and realized that the rain of the night before had frozen the doors shut. The was ice all over my car, and it took both me and my husband to get the doors open. I was late that day. :)
This morning, no rain, but a thick layer of frost. It's quite a novelty after living in L.A. for so long. Partly it's just the weather system currently moving through here, but I think Calabasas also has sharper temperature plunges. It's warmer in Burbank.
So: it's an adventure. Prayers are appreciated, that we may cope with grace.
(it could have been so much worse.)

Snurched from astrogirl2 and from kerravonsen.
Let's play this game where you guess my favourite tropes and fictional character types.
Those of you who know me, or know my fic, what patterns are you seeing?

 | 10:09 pm - 2012, a year of living; 2013, here I come!
I would say that 2012 was a year of wonderful changes, except that it doesn't feel quite like that. Many things did change, both without and within me, but change did not define the year.
2012 was a year of living.
( Including several trips--photographs under the cutCollapse )
I did accomplish some goals I set for myself last year, but I'm not going to talk about them for more than a paragraph or so. I'm more interested in what's coming; in the goals I want to set for myself this year.

I'm not getting it all sorted, she worried. I'm not getting it right.
You are brilliant, the Voice reassured her.
It is imperfect.
So are all things trapped in time. You are brilliant, nonetheless. How fortunate for Us that We thirst for glorious souls rather than faultless ones, or We should be parched indeed, and most lonely in Our perfect righteousness. Carry on imperfectly, shining Ista.
― Lois McMaster Bujold, Paladin of Souls
