Title: The Chicks'll Cream
Fandom: Grease, Grease 2
Rating: R, for language/implications
Length: 8K
Warnings: There's an element that might be racially or culturally offensive. I mean it as a commentary, but please let me know if it strikes the wrong note for anyone.
Characters: Danny Zuko, Johnny Nogerelli, Sandy Olsson (Danny/Sandy, past Johnny/Stephanie, Danny/Johnny implied)
Summary: Danny Zuko gets Johnny ready to be next head of the T-Birds. These are the missing scenes you've all been waiting for between Grease 1 and Grease 2.
A/N:
-stultiloquentia passed along word of More Joy Day, and I thought this would bring my_daroga joy. I also hope it will bring others joy, because it is the most ridiculous thing that has existed ever. I've also thought of you, crazydiamondsue, if you are reading this at all.

-The other thing responsible for this is an overwhelming affection for Adrian Zmed. I don't know what he's really like in person, but I do know when I see him on screen I just melt inside and want a puppy. T. J. Hooker, you inspire me.

( The Chicks'll Cream )

I changed my username. I am still joy. Dude, joy was the best username ever.

I . . . am not lettered, very. But it was one word! It was available! It's easy to say and has to do with words! Sue me.

I also changed my name on fanfiction.net and livejournal. It will be changed on Archive of Our Own. I also changed my fannish email; all mail from thekorapersonality@hotmail.com will go to letteredlettered@gmail.com, but you can change it in your accounts if you have me as a contact. I also changed my personal email; if you have it you can change it, but everything from the old one will be forwarded to it.

Title: The Way Down
Rating: this chapter, pg
Length: this chapter, 9.5K, see below for WIP info; ETA: total length: 70,000 words
Warnings: later, there may be sex.
Characters: Harry/Draco, past Harry/Ginny
Epilogue: not epilogue compliant
Summary: Malfoy’s all, “Come out of there,” the way you say to a cat who is badly behaved. And Harry’s all like, “No, what, I’m a hermit! And I have a chest-monster! And I am crazy magically powerful!” and Malfoy’s all, “We all have problems, bub.” (thoughtfully) “You are crazy though. I’ll give you that.”
A/N:

-This is a work in progress. I have this grand plan I’ll finish it if I start posting. Right now it’s 50,000 words. The plan makes it look like it will be 60,000 words. Plans are very deceiving. The plan is a chapter every week. My guess is 7-8 chapters. Did I mention plans are deceiving? Especially when they are mine.

-Constructive criticism is more than welcome.

Did I miss all the massive wank about the Buffy Reboot?

Can I get links to moaning and groaning about how horrific it is, and why why why, and seriously why wouldn't they just get Mr. Whedon, and how everyone is going to boycott it, and the letter writing campaign to WB about Mr. Marsters? I want it all!

Maybe I should check f_w.

What follows is an extremely long non-essay on thoughts I’ve thought about the Evil that is the ring, Sauron, Gollum, Darth Vader, the Emperor, Snape, Voldemort, aliens who try to destroy earth or take it over, Angel, Spike, demons, vampires, evil robots, and the Cylons. These are thoughts I’ve been thinking about the archetype of evil, the role of evil in some fiction, the role of morality in art, the role of fiction in real life, and my own personal beliefs about good and evil, and what fiction means to me. I have no idea whether anyone would want to read this; I needed to say it for me.

No doubt it's been said before by people more eloquent than me. That's why I did this post, in order to enable me to speak from time to time, since even though it's been said better, doesn't mean it's not worth saying.

This would not have been possible without my_daroga, Mr. Daroga and Battlestar Galactica. Thank you for making me think about this.

I shouldn't have done this, when I'm now about as much as I wrote behind on NaNo, but I wrote Sherlock and John, plus kissing, on the kissing meme, here.

To be fair to myself, I wrote this on my head on the bus. Then watched A:tLA and Brett!Holmes, went to bed, and transposed it. I do thank whatever Powers That Be that I have this ability; when I think of words to write I practically memorize them, and this sprung from my head fully formed. I figured I would treat myself to writing it, since I usually do not get ideas which are short; my other Sherlock ideas have all been far too long and then curtailed by my strict sense of "ahhhhh no time!"

Title: Nothing But What God Gave You
Fandom: BBC Sherlock
Word Count: ~2,300
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson pre-slash, I guess.
Characters: John, girl!Sherlock
Summary: Co-ed means compromise. Apparently.
A/N: Thanks ever so to fulselden for the Britpick (and spellcheck!). Also, I didn't believe in Sherlock-POV fic until I read wordstrings; doubtless she is an inspiration.

Not something I should be doing while I'm supposed to be writing. Especially since I called in sick today. But! Maybe if I build it, they will come, which means I won't have to sustain it. It's a cool idea; I just have trouble with follow through.

Over on livejournal, I started a comm called daily_words. It was supposed to have a new word every day. Trouble number one: I suck and didn't keep it up. Trouble two: I have trouble remembering the new words, even when I'm making posts about them. Except for stillicide. How could I forget stillicide? That's a good 'un.

So, my idea was to make a mirror comm, daily_words, but with a twist. It's actually a drabble community! A word gets posted once a day, and then if the word strikes you, or you really want to remember it, or the mood just is all upon you, you write a drabble using that word somewhere! And the drabble can be original or in any fandom. And possibly the drabble doesn't even have to be a drabble; possibly it just has to be short prose of at least 50 words, or a short poem.

Once DW gets that thing where you can put in posts and tell it when to post them, it might actually be plausible to keep the thing going. Another alternative is to ask people to volunteer to post words for a week/month/or day. Hm.
