Kat's Evil Mega-Global Journal

It's fairly obvious I won't make it to three this year either. Struggling to get these up before the reveal!


( Black Books, Hark! A Vagrant, Hot Fuzz, Deep Space Nine, League of Gentlemen )

The fannish main event of the year for me, certainly, is well underway, and I am thrilling to the myriad fantabulous stories! My goal, as always, is to try to get three rec posts out there before the reveal - I have high hopes for this year! One of the lovely things about this year's collection, is the variety. There are more fandoms and fewer stories in each, and I find I rather prefer it that way. ONWARD! :D

( Look Around You, Elfquest, Nathan Barley, Spaced, Cabin Pressure, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Would I Lie To You RPF )

I really wanted to do a drabble advent calendar this year, as it was so much fun last year, but I doubt I could make it work. I'm going to the US tomorrow with my mom, and I'll be gone a week. I might do one when I come back though, if there's any interest at all. Meanwhile, there's always yuletide to procrastinate from

1) Make a list of fourteen characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (That way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)

2) Ask your flist to post questions in the comments.

For example:

'One, Nine, Fourteen and One are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from Four. Do they succeed?'
'Under what circumstances might Five and Seven fall in love?'
'Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?'
'What would Two experience in Silent Hill?'
'What Pokémon would Eight have?'
'Write a drabble in which Six and Nine FIGHT CRIME.' (...possibly not technically a question.)

3) After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the fourteen characters you selected beforehand, then post them.

OMG, it's Yuletide!! Are you as excited as I am, writer? Thank you so much for taking part in this awesome exchange, and for taking the time to come here and find out even more about my requests. <3

I myself am the type of writer who prefers highly detailed prompts and lots of info, so that's what I've tried to present here. If you're not, remember that optional details are optional, and feel free to ignore this entire post! First and foremost, I want a good story, and those come from love and inspiration. So go do what you love, and have a wonderful Yuletide! :D

Stuff I like: I'm a die-hard romantic. I am also a happy-ending junkie. Give me angst if you like, but leave me with some positivity. Doesn't have to be much; a sliver of hope will do! Plot = love. Not all of my fandoms this year really have a plot, but I do love little clever details and interesting twists. Most of my requests are for humor fandoms, but I think some amount of humor is a very important part of any story, regardless of genre. (Which is not to say I'm asking for parody or crack; I'd prefer a serious story with elements of humor in it, unless the fandom itself is cracky!)

Stuff I DON'T like: I can find body image issues or eating disorders triggery. Torture, particularly disfiguring, or deeply psychological torture makes me really uncomfortable, so I would rather not read about that either.

In general: I enjoy reading about graphic sex, and very few things about it squicks me (except bodily fluids that aren't sexual fluids - none of that, please). Any kink, even explicit kink, is fine, though it's not generally something I seek out in a story. I'm easy. Don't be afraid to include stuff I haven't specifically mentioned here, or in my request. Yuletide stories are a gift, and I accept them joyfully! :D

( Fandom specific details: )

These are my automated job searches (on one site):



I also have a few on NAV: BTR (Back To Reality), Krem and Srs Bsns.

Like a boss.

So, I utterly and completely forgot about this. I'll get to those requests, ladies - sorry about that. My mind frazzles sometimes. Meanwhile, I thought I'd open it up again, in case someone else wants a go:

Pick a scene from one of my fics and nominate a character and I'll rewrite the scene from that character's point of view.

(Not all of my work is up on A03 by far, but a selection is: http://archiveofourown.org/users/Kahvi/works)

I would post something coherent and interesting, but I'm committed to doing NOTHING this weekend. With that in mind, have some memeage. :p

Rules: Bold all of the following TV shows which you've ever seen 3 or more episodes of in your lifetime. Underline a show if you're positive you've seen every episode of it. If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order), but you must delete one show for each one that you add.

( I have a feeling this is going to get embarrassing... )

Well, bits of it. I do have another vid, but I look hideous in it, so we'll see if I post it or not. :p

My choir had a concert at the new church at Bøler, where I grew up - they've been waiting 50 years for a proper church. I think we can safely say this one qualifies as "proper".
