Random interest of the week

[kangeiko]

Browing through my friends' interest pages, I discovered an interest in 'Pausanias'. People won't know this, but Pausanias was my very first OMC bad guy. There was a legend that he became a ghost, unless I'm much mistaken, but I stole that and made him into a vampire. Who ran a successful city firm that had offices overlooking High Holborn. And was very exasperated with the BT number changes taking place at the time, whilst ending the world (of course).

Anyway. It was back when I wrote endless sprawling WIP that I have not, to date, finished, but have a blow-by-blow (so to speak) summary stashed away on a floppy somewhere. It made me all glowy inside. Now why is it that I don't write long fic anymore? Everything I write struggles to push past the magic six page barrier (Book Antiqua, font 10).

In other news, athena25 will probably finish typing up some stories in the Albion saga soon and then a joint archive (or, well, list) of our works will go online for easy reference. May I take this opportunity to prior-rec her fabulous look at Isolde Albion and her sadistic obsessive fucked up dear lord? They make the Malfoys look normal. Yes, I'm biased, but I really do love this slice of (fucked up) life and this is by far the best Albion fic she's written as yet. It's dark, sadistic, desperate and full of love. A dark, sadistic, desperate love, but love nonetheless. It's also incredibly sensual.

I'm also going to do some ithurtsmybrain fic. Probably around:

135. Delenn / Nightcrawler / Grima ('cause that could be all kinds of wrong)
150. Alexander Dane / Spider Jerusalem / Elric
165. Bigby Wolf / Jubilee / Jack Sparrow (yes, yes, a hundred times yes)
184. Spike / Sam Seaborn
192. Remus Lupin / Faith (because I need to write some het kink)
222. Daniel Jackson / Luna Lovegood
383. CJ Cregg / Stephen Maturin
461. Vir Cotto / Dawn Summers

The Spike/Sam and Daniel/Luna ones would be the easiest, I think, although I really do want to do something with Vir and Dawn. It's not an exclusive list (i.e. people don't pick one pairing and then no one else can write it) they just write what they want, so head on over to ithurtsmybrain and have your eyeballs scoured with brillo. You'll hate love yourself for it.

Tomorrow is Timetable Planning of Doom. Four exams over three weeks in June. It's doable, right? Mmmm, academic!pain.

Beta my sodding fic! And then add it to your archive please /bats lashes/. Give me more pairings where I know both of the characters please, as I live in a cave.

Go to ithurtsmybrain and read the list of several hundred possible pairings! One you might enjoy is Faith/Lex, which had me tempted... then there's Jareth from Labyrith and Jonathan Kent from Smallville... er... I don't know which characters you know! Go look!

Also, am betaing as we speak. I profess to doing sentence by sentence betas, much like athena25. You'll receive a document scribbled all over with red. This is an indication of love. Now go pick some pairings, damn it!

Excellent as I haven't had time to write any more, but I'm hoping to change that this weekend and work on my real slash story. And then I might write one with Faith, Lex and Bruce Wayne, just for kicks.

Vir/Dawn should be cute.*g* Can you do cute? *veg*

[kangeiko]

You taunt me. You challenge me. Were I centauri, blood would be being shed right about now.

As it is... *defeated look* I have no idea. 'Cute', huh. That's where the characters are all alive and relatively intact at the end, yes?

Although I do feel that post-'The Gift' revisionist history might work out well, despite the complete lack of dawn-voice in my writing repertoire.
