I'm such a geek

2009-10-22T04:26:49Z

I'm taking a break from my insanity (aka Big Bang) to be a silly fangirl.

Yesterday, I decided I didn't have enough Karl Urban in my life so I bought a copy of Doom. Yes, it can be terrible, but Karl is hot and I need his hotness in my life. I'm sure I will have little Reaper!Bones plot bunnies hopping around in my head for weeks now. ~~Especially if I buy the novelization like I'm planning...~~

I went clothes shopping at Target today and found nothing (as usual) but I did find something interesting. I bought dorky Trek action figures! They're by a company called Funko and they look like weird cartoon versions of Spock and Kirk. I had to buy Spock because the ears are incredible and he'd be lonely without Kirk. (No silkmoth101 that was not me saying that I'm going to slash them! Kirk/Bones is my Trek OTP thank you very much :P ) They didn't make a Bones figure. Grrr!

Title: Not Exactly Regulation

Summary/Prompt:
Feedback: Yes, please!
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek or anything about this fic other than the insanity that caused me to write it.
Please do not archive fic without the permission of the author.
Note #1: Special thanks to Padme_NZ and truthwritaslies for the conversation that started this idea, silkmoth101 for the alpha reading, and bethctg2 for the wonderful beta. Any mistakes are mine, not theirs.
There’s an idea in this fic that is based on something in inell ’s series Two Men & a Motorbike and Two Men & a Spaceship. She was gracious enough to allow me to borrow that idea, which I am grateful for because those two series helped me get me into Kirk/Bones fic. This story is in no way connected to those works.

Can I hit ctrl - alt - delete on today

2009-06-02T02:55:46Z

I started up R2 this afternoon and had one of those spyware programs hijack my computer. After trying a couple of fixes and getting hit with pop ups every 2 minutes, I saved everything I could think of and reformatted.

I backed up my writing files, my icons, and my pics but I don't know if they're infected. So I don't know if I saved any of the new versions of the epic or the Challenge Fic. I hadn't finished anything significant on them so I hadn't sent them to anyone and I can't remember if I have back up anywhere on my external drive.

And just like I expected, I forgot something. i forgot my bookmarks. So I have no backup of all the research I'd done for the Epic and my other stories, stories I was reading, stories I was going to read, and my favorites. All of it gone. POOF.

The concert trip seems to be a no go and my vacation seems to be no go too.

*sighs* Ctrl Alt Delete would be awesome right now.

I did get the Star Trek novelization though. So maybe I should curl up with that and forget about today.

Also, I'm curious. I'm going to do something to back up my favorite fic bookmarks. I'm not exactly sure what to do. I really don't want to sign into anything extra. I'd store them on here, but I hate wading through tags. Does anyone have any ideas?

A lil late but still...

Another Six Word Fic Set

2009-04-03T22:55:15Z

Sam - PG-13

An indifferent God ignored his prayers.

His faith was slaughtered by hellhounds.

He’ll ignore the pleas of Heaven.

He’ll shatter the gates of Hell.

Dean was returned to him broken.

For that, the world will burn.

The Marry/Shag/Throw Off a Cliff Meme!

2009-03-26T23:39:03Z

The rules:

1. Comment to this and I will give you 3 people.
2. Label which you would marry, shag, and throw off a cliff.
3. Provide pictures and the names of 3 people.
4. Post this meme with your answers.

shadadukal gave me Wedge Antilles, Garik 'Face' Loran, Corran Horn. First off we have the challenge of finding a pic of The Face and Corran. I think I found pics of them all so meme under the cut.

Which one would I marry? Though it's not the greatest picture, I'd marry Garik 'Face' Loran and not because of the shallow reason that he's hot (despite the iffy pic I found). Face has a sense of humor and can be an emo pup, which seems to be one of my main attractions when dealing with men. And the shallow reasons work too. He's hot. He's bad ass. And he'll make you laugh. YUM!

Who would I shag? Wedge Antilles. He's hot but he's a bit too serious for my tastes. My serious nature combined with his would just be too depressing for a long term relationship. But jump him? Oh yeah...I'm sure Wedge would be great in bed. It's probably one of the many reasons he's the Envy of all Corellia.

And who would go off the cliff? Big surprise! The Mary Sue gets to go off the cliff a.k.a. Corran Horn. Actually I don't hate Corran that much. I liked him in I, Jedi though I only find him tolerable in the Rogue books. Anyway, he's the safest one to push off the cliff. There's no way that Lucas' people will let Corran die by being thrown off the cliff. Someone will finally give him the power of levitation or something and he'll be saved.

I'm not even sure if that IS Corran but it came up in most of the image searches I used so if it's not, we'll pretend it is. :D

Supernatural Crack!Fic

2009-01-04T02:07:37Z

Here is that crack!fic I've been rambling about. I'm putting a warning here. This is Crack!fic. There's Castiel bashing in it. It's not my fault! After the last episode, I actually started to like him. But my Sam and Dean Muses are still angry at him. Then I ran into some research that was too good to resist and it all fell into place. Yes, my mind is a strange, strange place. Anyway, here it is!

Title: Eight Minutes
Author(s): selinamoonfire a.k.a. Aggy
Fandom: Supernatural
Genre: Gen (no pairing)
Rating: PG-13
Summary/Prompt: Castiel learns that threatening a Winchester is never a good idea.
Note #1: This is crackfic that happens soon after episode 4.02, "Are You There God? It's Me, Dean Winchester."
Note #2: There is possible Castiel bashing in this fic. I like Castiel, I really do, but sometimes Sam and Dean don't. Blame them for this one.
Feedback: Yes, please!

Happy New Year Everyone! :D

A Strange Christmas

2008-12-27T16:34:45Z

If anyone's wondered why I've been so quiet lately, here's the reason.

We had a record snow storm. Normally we get two inches of snow on the ground and it's a big deal. This year, we had over a foot. It's the most snow my area has gotten in over 70 years. No one knew how to cope with it and no one was really prepared for it. My family is lucky because my father lived somewhere that got snow like that regularly so he knew what it was like and is one of those people that stock up on things "just in case."

On Christmas Eve we lost power around 9 p.m. The power came back on last night at 9 p.m. Everything got put on hold until today. We haven't opened gifts. We had everything for Christmas dinner shoved in the fridge hoping that it wouldn't spoil. And Dad stayed up for two nights watching over our gas stove to make sure the house didn't get too cold without damaging anything. Dad is awesome! LOL

So a very late Merry Christmas everyone! I haven't caught up on LJ or my mail (snail or email) or anything like that so be patient. I'll get around to it soon. :D

Wish List 2008

2008-12-04T02:37:42Z

STEP ONE
# Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV"). The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
# If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
# Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

STEP TWO
# Surf around your friends list (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now, here's the important part...
# If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes one person's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use - or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free - do it.
# You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf - to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not - it's your call. There are no guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Christmas Wish list

1. For everyone on my flist and their families to have a happy, safe holiday (whatever holiday you celebrate).

2. Do something good for someone else. This can be a donation to a charity (my favorites are the Human Society and the local Toy Drives if anyone is curious) or just a random act of kindness. If you do something, please let me know.

3. e-card! I love getting emails. (Please comment for email address)

4. Icons! I love icons. I collect them obsessively. The fandoms I collect them from are related to Supernatural, Smallville, Star Wars, and most things Catwoman (not Halle Berry please!). I also like pretty stock ones for random situations where fandom pretties aren't necessary.

5. Graphics for my new community. I would love to have a header and maybe some matching icons for feelgoodfic. I'm not really sure what the images would be since it's a multi-fandom community, but something shiny would be wonderful!

6. Drabbles/fic/whatever. I'm always amazed when people can do little fics for the holidays for others. I suck at that sort of thing, so I love it when people do something like that for others.

7. Pic spam! Pictures are inspiring. They keep the Muses happy, which keeps Selina happy. ;)

8. Fic recs! I have a rec community or will have one running soon. I would love to have people rec happy things either there or on my LJ.

9. Shiny graphics for my LJ.

10. Surprise me! :D

My Comm is Finally Online

2008-11-27T23:38:22Z

Here it is! feelgoodfic . My new community to post recs for fics that you enjoyed reading and made your day a little bit better.

It still needs some work and I'm sure I'll be changing things like the layout for the next few days, but it's done and it has its first post. I'll be posting some of my favorite stories too as soon as I find my bookmarks (the frustrations of reformatting) but it's together. :D I'm also going to need some new banners eventually, but this one will work for now.

Thank you to age , alison_sky , herohunter , bethctg2 , powerof3 , silkmoth101 , and everyone else that has offered suggestions and cheered me on while working on this project. :D
