Three Fandoms Walk into a Bar
Jan. 16th, 2013 01:26 pmI just posted a little bit of silly at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
great_tales "Three Fandoms Walk into a Bar" challenge:
I've been working on a two-way crossover with two of these fandoms already. This story has nothing to do with that one, except that the worlds just seem to naturally mesh...

Characters: Explained in the End Notes
Fandoms: Lord of the Rings, Shrek II, Once Upon a Time
Summary: There are hobbits who have adventures thrust upon them, and there are hobbits who go out looking fortrouble adventure. Sometimes the latter find more than they could ever imagine.

Question about ff.net
Jan. 16th, 2013 11:22 amOK, here's a question for my friends who post at ff.net:
This morning I wanted to post a crossover. I chose LotR as my first selection. Then I clicked on the second selection, from the dropdown I chose "TV shows" and then from the other dropdown I chose "Monkees" (Yes, it's that little crack!fic I did for B2MeM last year) and then...nothing happened. The dropdowns went away and I had a red sentence telling me to "Please choose a second category". So, is there a step I am missing? What's up with that?
(I tried the FAQs. They were less than helpful.)

Snowflake Meme, Days 6, 7 and 8
Jan. 8th, 2013 12:05 pmOK, I missed a couple of days, so again I am playing catch-up!
Day 6
In your own space, pimp three comms or challenges and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
( Read more... )
Day 7
In your own space, share something non-fannish about yourself. A passion or a hobby or a talent, something that people might not know about you. We are more than just our fandoms. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.( Read more... )
Day 8
In your own space, talk about setting yourself a fannish goal. Big or small, it doesn't matter. Some examples: complete a bingo, sign up for a Big Bang, write that fic you've been thinking about for years, podfic that story that you love, make a fanmix for your fandom, post that bit of meta or reclist you keep putting off. Maybe resolve to be better at leaving feedback or answering comments. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.( Read more... )
This meme is a lot of fun!

Snowflake Meme, Day 5
Jan. 5th, 2013 09:51 pmDay 5
Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or consume different fanworks. Give that new fandom a go. Listen to a podfic or watch some vids if you haven’t before. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it.
I'm completely unfamiliar with anime. I went to ff.net and picked a fandom at random, and read a nice little story. I did not know the background, but it made me want to look up "Escaflowne" and maybe check it out.
Snowflake Meme, Day 4
Jan. 4th, 2013 10:27 pmDay 4
In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

Another song about The Hobbit

Isn't that neat? I never had anyone translate my stories before!!! *grin* Hyperbole aside (because I know of a LOT of hobbit writers who are better than I am) it's really flattering!

Snowflake Meme, Days 1,2 and 3
Jan. 3rd, 2013 05:27 pm
Day 1
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.
Remember that we're using the term fanwork in the broadest sense of the word here - things like episode guides, meta, canon timelines, thematic lists, recs, fandom overviews, picspams, discussion posts, etc totally count.

2. My big AU Crossover, The Gate to Everywhere http://www.lotrgfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=1810
This is a crossover between AU LotR/Narnia, and I sat on it for a long time before finishing it up a couple of years ago for the GFIC Big Bang. Mostly because I'd like more feedback on it, and also because of Armariel's awesome artwork.
3. My website for The Hobbit fic, Off Into the Blue for Mad Adventure
http://offintotheblue.weebly.com/
This has links to as much TH fic posted prior to 2012 as I could possibly find. I still hope to add a few more if I can find them.
I hope to add another page of 2012 fic written pre-release, and then for post movie fic, but haven't had a chance yet.
Day 2
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.
Well, Grey Wonderer took one of my LotR fanfic recs (I'd like to second her rec of Elanor's "A Secret Gate"), so I decided to go with something different, and rec some non-Tolkien fic:

Day 3
Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"
Some of you have been checking out other participant's recs and self-recs from the Day 1 and Day 2 posts. If you've interacted with anyone new, you can absolutely count that for Day 3!

Can anyone tell me why my first cut did not work? I thought I highlighted 1, 2 and 3, but it only cut 1.
*Sigh* Not my best day...
Jan. 2nd, 2013 03:16 pmLJ being uncooperative is more than a little annoying right now!
I need to make a post about the new stories for the Yule Exchange. Can't. Because of LJ.
I need to find an old post to link to. On LJ.
And all of my friends seem to be MIA. So here I am over at DW. Do you suppose I will be able to import, or would that be affected by the troubles over at LJ?
This snowflake meme looks interesting. I might take that up!
In non-LJ news, I am waiting for the cable guy. Intermittent tiling on the TV; intermittent outages on my internet; and now intermittent outages on our landline. He's supposed to be here before 5. But I need to go into Stillwater--
because (good news) I have a new part-time job: teaching knitting and crocheting at JoAnns! But I need to get over there before they close to pick up and sign some paperwork so I can teach classes this weekend!
Other good news: I am listening to the cast recording of LOTR: The Musical.

ATTENTION Yule Fic Exchange Participants!
Dec. 30th, 2012 02:54 pmWe have only four stories so far in the Moderation Queue awaiting the reveal on January 1.
While you have until midnight CST, December 31 (6AM GMT, Jan.1) to get your story in, if I don't see it by about 2PM on the 31, and I have not heard from you, I will begin to try and find out whether or not you will be following through and trying to find a pinch-hitter. I REALLY do not want to have any participant lacking a story this year. Please respond to this post if you are in any doubt whatsoever.
If you are not participating or if you are participating but finished with your story, but are interested in being an emergency last-minute pinch-hitter, please respond here as well.
While my plan is to unlock the stories first thing New Year's Day morning, I have to confess I've been having a little bit of trouble with my internet connectivity. If the stories don't show up until later in the day, that will be the reason.
Comments will be screened.

Due to the DH having to work this evening from 2-11PM we are having a quiet Christmas--we had our traditional breakfast (steak and waffles) and opened our gifts. Tomorrow our son, his girlfriend and her kids will be over for dinner and their presents. I may go see TH:AUJ again on my own this afternoon; depends on how bad the weather is.
I got some very nice gifts: ( Presentses... )
Ah well! I hope everyone else is having as nice a holiday as we are.

Just got home from my second viewing
Dec. 20th, 2012 11:23 pmAnd have lots to say, but it will have to wait for morning. I'm nearly as wound up as seeing it the first time, but the DH is more than ready for bed.
It still makes me happy!!!!
And I noticed lots of new things this time round...I'll post more tomorrow!

New Fic: The Darkest Night
Dec. 17th, 2012 10:03 amI posted this over at hobbit_holidays.
It's been a long time since I wrote a story that was not either a WIP or an exchange story or a challenge story. But this one came to me tonight after the Children's Pageant at church, and I came home and just wrote it all up at once. And though it's been a very long time, I thought this was a good place for it.
Rating: G, but a little angsty
Summary: It's the Year of the Troubles, and the Year is Turning but the Troubles aren't over yet. Pippin's sister Pimpernel ponders what the New Year might bring. Will her brother ever come home?
