Subject:Dear Yuletide Writer '09 - Sticky Post
Time:9:30 pm.
Mood: gleeful.
More stuff will go here, on the soonish side of eventually.

In the meantime, dear writer, I'll just say thank you! For liking one or another of those four fandoms enough to want to write potentially anything for it, you brave person, you. Oh, and don't hassle too much over the details part of the request -- that's entirely optional, remember? Just have fun! Write what you want to write, and be assured that I like each and every one of those four fandoms enough to want to read potentially anything you care to give me, whether it's tailor-made to one of my prompt suggestions or something completely new and unexpected and amazing. :>D

ETA: Sorry for the wait! I got just a bit carried away... )

Subject:Sweetness and Light
Time:4:22 pm.
Music:Cake - Nugget.
It’s been a while since I’ve done anything Whose Line-related, hasn’t it?

Father's Day )

And because that one’s kind of schmoopy all by itself -- and also because I just saw this and the comments on this way too close to each other -- here’s something else entirely... )

Subject:Not Yet Dead
Time:12:46 pm.
Mood: wussy.
Music:Murray Gold - Turn Left.
Started on this one not too long after the last post, but then I got some kind of plague that's been going around, and between coughing and sort of working and coughing and not exactly sleeping and coughing and throwing up and seeing blue 3-D kaleidoscopes behind my eyes (thank you, prescription meds!), it really seemed like the best thing to do was to leave this one the back burner for a while until the worst of the weirdness wore off.

DoctorDonna and Rose and explosions and technobabble, oh my! )

Swiped from Claire, the Doctor Who Meme of Perilous Doom... )

Subject:A Buck an Ear
Time:9:02 am.
Mood: cheerful.
Music:Arrogant Worms - History is Made by Stupid People.
Busybusybusy again. But vacation was nice while it lasted. Yet another family trip to Disney World, including a day at Epcot. Where there's a UK pavilion. With a red phone box. Which sort of inevitably led to this... )

Subject:The Big Reveal
Time:10:43 pm.
Mood: exhausted.
Now that I know who they are, I can thank my Yuletide authors by name: Lassarina Aoibhell for In the Service of Snark, and lilyayl for Even. Both of them wrote King Thrushbeard stories, both wonderfully clever and feeling, and both stories play so very satisfyingly off the source material -- and also each other, funnily enough. (I like to imagine Snark as a sequel to Even, showing how a marriage like that would play out day to day, and Even as a prequel to Snark, showing how those two personalities could come to such an understanding in the first place.)

Fairy Tales was one of my favorite discoveries in Yuletide last year, but it's even better when you've got something -- two somethings! -- waiting there in the lists, ready to come back to any time a happy ending fix is needed (as they so often are).

Continuing with the gratitude, I also want to make a note here of my last-year Yuletide gifts: We're Always Leaving Somewhere for Somewhere by Mosca (RPF Top Chef - Hung & Howie), Vivace by scarletts_awry (RPF Classical Composers - Brahms & Joachim), and à son ami by eris (RPF Classical Composers - Liszt/Chopin). They're all of them lovely, just as much on this year's read-through as they were the first time.

And my own fic... well, I'm too pooped to go into details just now, but there's links to them here, if anyone else's interested. And my Yuletide favorites so far, over here.

Tomorrow, a drabble about hiccups. But now? Sleep.

Subject:Fa-la-la-la-blahs
Time:10:42 pm.
Mood: uninspired.
Music:things I haven't listened to in ages.
Just this evening watched the Drake & Josh Save Christmas special, or whatever it was, and promptly lost all faith in humanity. Then my nephew wanted to watch Blue’s Clues and I just didn’t care anymore. Is Nickelodeon’s network mission to liquefy the brains of America, or am I just being a grinch? Is there any good holiday programming out there at all, anywhere?

Malaise and procrastination and drabbles under cut. )

Subject:Computer, define "hoe-down"
Time:8:48 am.
Mood: busy.
Music:Peter Gabriel - Down to Earth.
Well, the Bad Thing I was worried about last week didn’t end up being quite so bad, so that means I don’t have to talk about it here. Which is nice, because I’d much rather talk about how I just saw WALL-E for the first time with my nephew, and how it’s all the things that everybody says it is: sweet, warm, wistful, beautiful to look at and listen to. *pokes you to check it out if you haven’t already*

So of course it stands to reason I’d have to spoil the loveliness with another quick Doctor Who crossover, right? )

Subject:Busy Work
Time:11:44 am.
Mood: lunching.
Virtual to-do list:

Get Yuletide letter scribbled up and posted, check.
Start reassembling my wiped whofic favorites, this time somewhere safely outside Firefox, check.
Tag all those moldy old holiday drabbles, check. Sixteen of them now, counting this one. )

Subject:Return of the Living Dead
Time:5:14 pm.
Mood: bouncy.
Music:Girl Talk - In Step.
How amazing is it, how completely utterly scary that things on the internet never go away? Like this journal and half its friends list, apparently. *hugs for anybody out there still reading*

Writerly-type stuff behind cut... )

Subject:Dear Yuletide Writer '07 (backdated 11/12/09)
Time:11:42 pm.
Mood: slightly embarrassed.
Music:Something in Swedish.
Originally this was just posted to the Yuletide member com, not to my journal -- I was a Yulenoob at the time, and not really sure what the whole journal stalking thing entailed, so I didn't want to invite disaster (or creepiness). But Yuletide is not a time of creepiness but of craftiness and sanctioned snooping, and in that spirit I give any secret snooping writers out there a peek at this... )

Subject:Small tragedies
Time:9:01 pm.
Music:Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch - I'll Fly Away.
I had another something to post for the double challenge drabblefest, but somebody already beat me to the theme. Just as well, since what I wrote isn't very happy -- but here it is anyway, just because. )

Mood: pretty okay.

Subject:A celebration for no reason, which is always the best occasion
Time:5:20 pm.
Mood: energetic.
Whee, I’m feeling industrious this week. Maybe not productive or accomplished, but definitely busy. :>)

Okay, so I’ve been enjoying everybody’s selections for poetry month; now it’s my turn to share:

Since You Asked - Lawrence Raab

And also a drabble, because that’s obligatory.

Memorial Day )

Subject:Dance like there's no one watching
Time:12:25 pm.
Mood: mellow.
Music:Take a Bow - Madonna.
So last week didn’t even get one drabble. And the way things are going, next week might not either. It’s kind of the middle slump of this series, so I’m just going to write things as they come, and not worry too much if they don’t. *crosses fingers*

Josie & Caroline under the cut. )

And since people are starting to weigh in on the MC Rove thing, I have to say I found the whole situation funny in an awkward and unexpected kind of way. We got to see yet another Republican make a complete ninnyhammer of himself in front of the cameras, which is always satisfying. We got to see Colin show off his rap moves and beatboxing, which is always silly. And Brad got his name on C-SPAN, which is just plain weird.

Now I’m just waiting for Greg to touch on this in his next update....

Subject:Another Meme
Time:5:26 pm.
Mood: rushed.
Probably not the best time to be posting this, but [info]cosmicwaffles wrote me a Ry/Col quickie days back, so now I suppose fair’s fair:

Comment on this post to request a drabble-fic from you. In return, they have to post this in their journal [only if you want to]. Post the fandoms you're willing to write for.... )

Subject:Day of the Dead & Fat Tuesday
Time:11:36 am.
Mood: mentally dislocated.
Music:Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen.
I’m not entirely happy with today’s drabbles. If they keep on bugging me enough, maybe I’ll change them. Probably not, but it’s always a possibility.

In the meantime, ten random observations that need observing.... )

Subject:Hiatus
Time:5:18 pm.
Mood: rushed.
Said Claire, quoting Colin: "... It was like any other show. We didn't know at that time that it was the last show. In fact as far as I know we are still on hiatus."

OH YEAH. HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW HERE.

AHAHAHA. Okay, he totally is, but write me fic anyway.

***

It’s never really over.

Ryan’s hands offstage sandwiched between them --
“Come on down and let’s have some fun!”
Ryan nosing under the collar of his luau shirt --
“And now for our favorite game in the world....”
Ryan’s fingers sneaking always below the belt --
“Right back... more Whose Line... don’t go away.”
Ryan’s mouth in his ear: “We’ll finish this later.”

Colin’s still waiting.
