To all the people who are hitting reply all on the moronic chain letter to everyone on SU campus: stop. For the love of sanity, stop.

(it's one of those "Bill Gates is giving away his fortune! Send this to all your friends soon to be ex-friends to get a bunch of imaginary money!" It's shown up in my inbox something like fifty times today. WHY.)

I finally got off my ass and imported all my lj entries over to dreamwidth. Why then did I title this a post of procrastination, you say? Ah, you see, what I actually should be doing is working on my secret angels fic, which is due... tomorrow.

SHIT.

To googledocs I go!

ETA: I have 8 dreamwidth invite codes if anyone wants to join the party over here. :D

Written for the hc_bingo prompt: zombie apocalypse. See my bingo card.

Title: Brains: A Love Story
Author: nianeyna
Fandom: J2
Genre: h/c, crack, au, zombies!
Rating: R for gore
Length: 1500 words
Author's Notes: Pretty much all I know about Jared and Jensen is that apparently they're in some show together or something, can't quite remember what that's called. XD In that vein, does anyone on my flist know where I might post this? I'm not really in J2 fandom, obviously. All of the credit blame for this story goes to dreamwaffles, without whom I would have written something completely different and much less cracktastic for this fill. It is dedicated to brainmissing, because the day that I write a crack hurt/comfort zombie apocalypse J2 AU about zombies in love and don’t dedicate it to brainmissing is the day I kill myself out of shame.

This fic has been moved! It is now at AO3.

Look, I don't know either, okay? It's like it just vomited itself out of my head into Microsoft Word.

As you all may or may not know, schmoopy hurt/comfort is my drug of choice (seriously, it's embarassing), which is why when I heard about this shit via lemniciate I was on it like Jack on Ianto. Behold my hc_bingo card:

( Behind the cut )

I was extremely pleased when in addition to genderswap, wings, and zombie apocalypse, (zombie apocalypse!) I got NOT ONE, but TWO vampire prompts. That's right, ladies. This is going to be the most cracktastic hurt/comfort of all time. (No worries, there will be plenty of unabashed schmoop, too. I'm good at the unabashed schmoop. Confession time: part of the reason I hardly ever post anything is that I only write the one overblown h/c scene and then I get bored before I finish, like, the beginning, middle, and end bits. This'll be good for me, it's like carte blanche to indulge all my terrible habits.)

Fills will be linked to from the squares as I complete them, and wherever I post them will link back to here.

I have oodles of extra time this quarter due to my accounting class being canceled, so one of my resolutions (along with, get a job that pays more than minimum wage - yeah, that one's not going so well) is to actually do some podficcing. I've been meaning to do this since pi introduced me to the glory of podfic this summer, but I've been sort of stalled due to lack of a good space. I don't want to record in my dorm room, for reasons which, with three non-fannish roommates, should be obvious. But! Seattle U has a 'music room' that anyone can reserve and which is perfect for the job as it is basically just a quiet room in the basement with a door that locks, and you get it completely to yourself for the time you have it reserved. So, yay! That's solved.

My first recording session was from 8-9 pm today. I got about six and a half minutes of podfic out of the experience. >.< To be fair, though, I spent a good chunk of my hour futzing with Audacity in an effort to get it to play nice with my headset. Also cleaning up the music room, because I don't know about you guys, but I find it difficult to embark on a creative endeavor when there is someone's empty take-out box sitting by my elbow. It offends my muse, okay? College students, wtf.

I have the room reserved for two hours tomorrow, and hopefully things should go smoother. This time, I am not forgetting my water bottle.

Apparently S02E02 of Merlin is to be called "The Once and Future Queen."

...

LOL. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. XD

Okay, so it probably just means Uther's going to marry a troll, as hinted at in the season preview (which... I swear to you I have ACTUALLY READ THAT FIC. No, seriously. I am not making this up.) but still. Let's just say, I have been watching a lot of Queer as Folk lately, and the image of Arthur in a sequin-y dress with tons of sparkly makeup and high heels with rhinestones all over them WILL NOT LEAVE MY BRAIN. Oh, Show. You do love me. ♥_♥ :D

So.  Dreamwidth.

Thanks to kelene , I have an account!  Um, yay?  I've been poking around, and it does seem very cool over here.  For one thing there are NO ADS, which is indeed a plus.  For another I can crosspost this entry to lj just by checking a little box, which is cool.  And now that I've said that about crossposting I really hope that it actually, you know, works.

I think I'm probably going to put up my fics on here (you know, all two of them) and then... I don't know.  We'll see how things turn out.  Honestly I hadn't even heard of Dreamwidth until about a week ago, when it seemed like everybody on my flist was jumping ship.  Or rather cautiously extending a toe from one ship to the other, while actually mostly staying on the first ship - I think this metaphor has lost its usefulness.  Probably I am going to do what many other people seem to be doing: sort of mirror my lj on Dreamwidth and wait for developments.

I'm also nianeyna on dw if you want to find me over there (here?  This crossposting thing could get confusing fast...).

Ahahaha, seriously you guys, it's not even funny.

...Okay, so it's a little funny, actually.

Anyway, so in history we're learning about Ancient Near East civilizations, and today the professor was telling us the story of the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is basically about this badass king in Mesopotamia.  He's kind of a bitch though, so the people get pissed off at him and pray to the gods to take him down a notch or two.  The gods are like, "hey, so, this king is kind of a bitch" so they send this wild man named Enkidu to run around with the animals and mess up all the hunting.  As smiting goes it's kind of weird and lame, but whatever.  Anyway, the king is not really suited to a vegetarian lifestyle so he sends a prostitute out to have sex with Enkidu for a week (!), after which Enkidu becomes civilized and "wise", and loses his ability to chillax with the animals.  (No, really.  I couldn't make this stuff up.)  Then Enkidu goes and fights Gilgamesh, after which, of course, they become best friends.

The two of them journey around fighting a ton of monsters and stuff, until Gilgamesh gets proposed to by the goddess Ishtar.  Here's a paraphrased snapshot of what went on in the classroom during this part of the story:

PROFESSOR: Then Gilgamesh was proposed to by Ishtar, who was basically the Mesopotamian Aphrodite, goddess of love and fertility, and he turned her down -
MY BRAIN: because he was having hot man sex with Enkidu.
PROFESSOR: because, he said, she brought misfortune to any man who was associated with her.  Ishtar was so offended that she decided to kill Enkidu.  Gilgamesh was heartbroken.
MY BRAIN: ...QED.  Hot man sex.

I had to stop myself from cracking up during class, because then people tend to ask what you're laughing about.  And that would have been awkward.  XD

Reply to this post, and I will list three or more things I like about you. Then repost to your own journal to spread the love.
In other news, for those of you who I haven't already squeed to at length, I JUST BOUGHT A NEW LAPTOP!!!!111!!1!  It is a Midnight Blue Dell XPS 1530, and I am already in love with it even though I haven't actually seen it yet.  It should be landing in my eager palms sometime early next week.

So basically I am now totally, utterly broke.  Ummmm, yeah.  But, ohgod, so worth it.  :D

PS My NaNo hit finals, choked, and sputtered to a halt.  But I'm not done with this story yet!  I'm not going to make any promises since I always break them, but I have high hopes for this one, oh yes I do.
