warmest wishes to you~ ♥

Merry Christmas! Flist, you've been wonderful this year, and I hope many happy things for you this holiday, whether or not you celebrate. I really am lucky to know all of you - some better than others, some longer than others, but you've all made a positive impression in my life, for which I'm thankful. Times have been hard on some of you for various reasons, real life and fandom, and I hope you all do your best to remain positive, because you deserve happiness. Hugs and cuddles for everyone! Re the pic above, you will take my love and you will like it. /kisses ♥


And I keep forgetting: I have 10 LJ coupons ($10 off upgrading to a paid account), so let me know if you'd like one!

also, i LOVE calvin & hobbes

# Reading SPN and HP epic longfic and being ridiculously jealous (and admiring) of the way those fandom authors can write so much so well. (My corporate!AU is undergoing beta right now and the entire process is terrifying. Longfic is hard and it is scary. I'm unused to this! /clutches at people's hands. Hopefully it gets easier with practice but a part of me also laughs hysterically and thinks: Like hell I'd put myself through this again? I will never break 10k again. ;__;)

# On the topic of HP fic, let me rec this incredible H/D fic:

Trajectories
Harry/Draco, PG, drama/plot/8th year fic, 35000 words
Rembrandt's phrase in describing his painting: "Die meeste ende di naetureelste beweechgelickheijt", can be translated as greatest, most natural movement (emotion or motive).

( Why I love it and why you should read it! )

# While I'm reccing fics, I just recced a Calvin & Hobbes fic to mytigerhobbes and since it's a fic that I love beyond words, I thought I should share. It's...moving, and a little sad, but hopeful too, on how kids grow up. Totally gen, but wrenching. Tissue warning. Seriously.

Reminiscence
Calvin & Hobbes, PG, gen, 2469 words
Calvin is all grown up... how has the passage of time affected him and those around him?

# I am also loling at my brother knowing all the words to Sorry Sorry and dancing to it. He should learn the dance to Super Girl, y/n?

# Stalling so hard at writing KuroFai for suxing, but I do have some ideas! Hopefully it will be up tomorrow. :) I'm incredibly out of practice writing for anything but kpop and I think it shows... Anime fandom fics, why are you so hard for me now? Woe.

# And then to round this post up with some obligatory kpop fangirling, lille_bean pounced on me today and declared her unending love for Minho/Donghae, which left me helpless to do anything but support her avidly. MINHO/DONGHAE, YOU GUYS. This pairing is shooting up into my ridiculous biases, like KiHae, QMi, HaeSica, CinHae... You are imagining the trend in my shipping. So she asks me how I would plot an epic non-AU Minho/Donghae get-together fic.

Me: ( ...it might go something like this? )

And now back to your regularly scheduled holiday, sans Mei-insanity.
