get me off this crazy thing

Two posts in two days! It's crazy times. But I saw this on annavere's lj. Though none of my Highlander fic made the cut. :/ Just don't get enough traffic on HL stories compared to the MCU stories. 

Most Hits: Technically, this honor goes to my sole Star Wars story at 11,454 hits, but I posted that anonymously so you'll have to take my word for it. (My Ahsoka, Obi-Wan/Ahsoka, for the curious). Next story down is Twelve Times Damned at 9,392 hits, the same story as third most comments. Too lazy to link twice.

Second Most Kudos: Rusted Gate, MCU, Steve/Bucky (593 kudos)

How many times has he replayed this scene? The young private, the forest path, the rusted gate. Steve and him. This last chance to tell him. He knows what’s about to happen. Why can’t he tell him? How many times has he tried to change how it ends? Maybe this time, he can get it right.

Third Most Comments: Twelve Times Damned, MCU, Bucky/Clint/Laura (46 comment threads)

They were on the street when the voice came through comms. It went to all of them. They could all hear.

“Steve,” said the voice.

Clint stopped, turning to Rogers and Wilson at the sound of the unfamiliar voice. Rogers raised his hand up to his helmet and looked at the surrounding buildings, turning in a circle. “Bucky?” he asked. “Is that--Where are you?”

“Steve,” said the voice again, and Clint now knew it belonged to James Barnes. “It’s an ambush, Steve. Get the hell out of there.”

Fourth Most Bookmarks: Tony's Choice, MCU, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, Gen (153, but only 116 are public)

In order for the Avengers to use the Stones to reverse the Snap, they each must make a terrible choice.

“We are the gauntlet,” said Tony, looking at Clint, then at Thor and Natasha and Bruce, and finally, Steve. “What is it you keep harping on about? We do this together. We are the gauntlet. There are six stones, and six of us. We each take a Stone.”

Fifth Most Words: Starborn, MCU, Steve/Thor, 45,255 words 

As he walked, he wondered if sleeping through seventy years and then waking up to find almost everyone he’d ever known or loved gone was preferable to living through each loss. They both sucked, he decided, but he knew he wouldn’t have traded the last few decades for anything in the world.

Fewest words: Circle of Mirrors, Doctor Who, Donna Noble/Rose Tyler, 693 words.

AU during "Turn Left."

Oof, I haven't read Circle of Mirrors in ages. It's not half bad! Okay that was fun. Whee! 

Today I am reminded how incredibly fortunate I am. I wish everyone reading this a wonderful start to a brand new year. 2020 has been a wild ride, but it's over now. Ready for new things.

I wanted to post something today and then killabeez had a convenient meme for me to do! Excellent! Though I don't think I have answers for all of these lol.

( This way to meme: )

Before I get to meme failure, I would just like to say I have been watching the drama over the Spider-Man rights like I'm courtside at a tense ping pong match. Who's going to win!?! It's pretty obvious haha. If there's anything to find out, we'll find out tomorrow. eta: I guess we won't find out! d'oh!

( quick thoughts, behind the cut to spare anyone who does not care. )

This is my attempt at the meme taken from killabeez and destina where you categorize your fandoms like past or current relationships. It looked fun and saucy. But unexpectedly difficult! I apparently treat all past fandoms like long lost kittens.

I also don't really have enough fandoms for all the questions lol.

The one who seduced you, screwed you over, broke your heart in a million pieces, and laughed about it.

I guess this would be The X-Files? Because I did love it INTENSELY at the start. I was young! But its more like -- okay, yes it seduced me, but I realized at one point it wasn't a happy two-way relationship so I bailed on it well before it got truly bad, and my heart did not break into a million pieces.

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp:

This is where most of my past fandoms live: Star Trek TOS, Star Trek Voyager, Wiseguy, Doctor Who, Jane Austen, PotC, Harry Potter, Leverage, Justified... what else?


The mysterious dark one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 AM at weird coffee houses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized they really were fucking crazy:

24! Wiseguy, maybe?

The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor and whom you'd still really like to get with again, although you're relieved they don't actually live in town:

This is definitely Harry Potter but specifically the time when I went full tilt into Snape/Hermione and it was like someone drugged me, put a bag over my head, put me in a van, drove me around, gave me more drugs, then tossed me out of the side of the street and it was like I'd woken up after 3 months kidnapped.

eta: Also Starsky & Hutch! I was definitely kidnapped.

The steady:

Highlander. Possibly MCU. Maybe even Leverage.


The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with:

I get bored so easily, I don't know who this could be.

The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with, but ultimately you're just good buddies: you still might do it one day never say never!

Justified, Star Trek Voyager.

The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool person except it's never really gone anywhere:

too many to list lol.


The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at them and thinking, "How the hell did they land all these cool people?"

I guess I would say Supernatural, though less so these days. In it's heyday it seemed to suck everyone up like a vacuum!


The one who gave you the best damned summer of your life and against whom you measure all other potential partners:

Is this supposed to be different than the steady? I'm too slow a joiner/writer for there to be a summer fling fandom lol. I like to inhabit a fandom for like a year or more before I even begin to think about writing.


The one you recently met at a party and would like to get to know better:

God. Nothing recent. I literally didn't turn my TV on for 2 months.


The old flame that you wouldn't totally object to hooking up with again for a one night romp if only they'd clean up a bit:

This implies an on going canon that's lost its way...

Your hot new flame:

Well it's not new but it's still very much a flame: MCU

The one who stole your significant other:

This is like the one who slept with all my friends lol. Same thing!

I have learned to be zen-like when everyone goes gaga over something i have no interest in

ooommmmm

In other news, I am STILL writing the Steve gen story. It's closer to being done? Kinda sorta? It is the most self-induldgent fix-it story ever. :D I love it like pie. Thank god for killabeez who is kind and says things to me like "girl this is a lot of words" lol. sob, I know.

I saw this on tumblr, but thought I'd post it here instead.

In other news, I took all of last week off work to do some editing on original stuff, which was good and relatively productive. I also took a few riding lessons during the week and jumped my first little x-rail with a sturdy little white pony called Sharky. yay!

Then I attended escapade_con this weekend, and despite being fairly unfamiliar with most of the fandoms represented, had a lovely time. And actually, I have to say, not being even remotely invested in any of the fandoms is a far less stressful experience. *g*

But the important part was getting to see and hug my friends, all of whom I very much miss all ready. Love you guys. xoxo.

Sunday afternoon I left the con and spend the evening and night with my best friend S, who lives not that far away from where the con was. That was nice. I got to cuddle my BaileyCat some and S and I saw that Denzel film The Book of Eli which was creepy and odd, so that's good.

So, lovely week and weekend.

However, I am beyond excited to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching

I dunno, sometimes I wish there were less people watching. Like for Doctor Who, I could lop off whole limbs of that fandom. It needs a trim. lol. sorry, unpopular opinion.

Also, sometimes I wish more of my people were watching a show. There are plenty of people watching 24, but I have not much in common with them, or they play elsewhere, not in my little circle. But I'm not sure I really want *more* people watching, either.

So far I'm rather failing at this question. haha.

Um, let's see... Oh, I know! ( Ashes to Ashes )

I haven't done one of these in a while. :D


Pick your five most favorite TV shows, then answer the questions below.


1. Highlander
2. Star Trek: Voyager
3. 24
4. Jane Austen (okay, totally cheating here. so sue me)
5. Doctor Who


( meme! )

I miss you!

Realizing that my actual online fannish activity has dropped below to negative integers, I remembered for the first time today to read my flist. I see there's some sort of greater discussion about LJ and DW. Frankly, I'd move to DW in a hot minute and the only reason I haven't is I'm a lazy bum. And straddling two journals is difficult for me. So, how's that for selfishness.

~~~

Horrified that I hadn't had any honest to goodness fannish content on this LJ in weeks, I thought I'd do the fannish5 this friday.

List 5 fictional doctors you'd want treating you. (Or not.)

1. The Doctor (preferably Nine, but honestly, I'm not picky.)
2. The Doctor, EMH Mark 1, Chief Medical officer of the USS Voyager ( :D :D :D )
3. Methos (he's still a doctor!)
4. McCoy (if only for the running commentary.)
5. Dr. Bashir

Yeah, 3 Trek doctors. Well, what do you expect, honestly.

Also, I now think it would be hilarious for The Doctor to meet The Doctor. HAHAH.

~~~

In other news I'm in love with a gray western arab pony named Jake. He is the bestest pony EVAR.

from grphonrhi: ( Your five favorite characters to write. )

from killabeez: ( Top five moments in Highlander! )

from dswdiane:( Five favorite HL fanfics. )

from lapillus: ( Five favorite fannish cliches )

First up on the fannish 5, and getting his own post. That automatically makes him cooler. *g*

violetisblue asked for: The top five moments that prove Picard is cooler than you. (Universal you.)


1. There are people right now, down on their knees, praying and offering to The Picard.
2. Because, as a young man, he laughed when got stabbed through the heart, and lived.
3. And then when he went back in time and fixed that problem, the world was a mixed up, crazy, sad and pathetic, and just that much more boring world, so he let himself be stabbed through the heart again.
4. There are four lights!
5. And lastly, for visual reference, The Picard Song:
