A meme! Gacked from damn near everybody.

Pack up and leave if they moved next door:

Want as my best friend:

A Question for the Committee

Here's a question for those of you who post fic on AO3: What is a reasonable Hits to Kudos ratio? If say, 95% of your hits don't leave kudos should you assume that nobody likes it? Or is 5% a pretty good number? What's average? Or do you even worry about the ratio? How can you tell if you're winning?

Update on the NaNo Front

I've managed to be at or slightly above the word count goal every day so far. ::knocks wood:: I am hoping to keep that up (or maybe get ahead) because I know that there are going to be some serious interruptions before all is said and done (and by "serious interruptions" I mean "cooking Thanksgiving dinner for 18+ people" and "my best friend is having a baby and I'm one of her birthing coaches.") So, yeah -- ahead would be good, although so far I've just pretty much been managing "not behind."

I posted one the things I wrote this month night before last (this is not unrelated to the AO3 Kudos/Hits question above.)

Marvel Avengers Movie Universe/Captain America: The First Avengers "Can't Get Warm." Rated Teen. 1358 words. Bucky wakes up cold on a table in a German camp, and he can't get warm. Events in Captain America: The First Avenger from Bucky's POV.

DVD Commentary Meme

I have the DVD Commentary Meme on offer here. I had fun doing inline commentary for "The Lost Boys." Come play with me!

Oh hey! I only have two of the character study things left -- both for cybermathwitch Kara Thrace and Natasha Romanov. I can do those tonight maybe and then I'm freeeeeeeeee.

Well, free accept for the drabblets I owe people. I'm really struggling with inell's. It just doesn't want to do right.

Once I'm done with that (and not before, because I told you guys to thump me if I started any new memeish things), I'm going to ask my flist for questions to pose to the Avengers. I did this last year for Harry Potter, and it really helped me find my voice (their voice, actually).

So... be thinking of questions you'd like to as the Avengers and their assorted staff, compatriots, co-workers, and buds.

I know, I know, I'm not done with the last one yet.

Gacked from e'rybody.

Gakked from cybermathwitch and tn_tiger:

Give me a character (or two, or three) and I will answer:

• why I like them
• why I don’t
• favorite episode (scene if movie)
• favorite season/movie
• favorite line
• favorite outfit
• otp
• brotp
• head canon
• unpopular opinion

...here's a meme. (Gacked most recently from coffee_n_cocoa.)

Ask me a fandom, and I will tell you:

+ OTP
+ Runner-up
+ Honorable mention(s)
+ Crack pairing(s)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't

star54kar sent me this lovely parting gift -- which I very cleverly taught to fetch the story to which it refers.

::is ridiculously pleased by very basic html coding skills::



And I thought I'd give you lot another go at the meme, since the only taker I've had so far has been the_disco_fairy.

Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post.

C'mon y'all. PLAY WITH ME.

Snagged from the_disco_fairy over Facebook way...

( 15 Books that stick with you... )

I'm not going to tag anyone over here -- but feel free to play if it happies you.

Well. That's alright then.

Gacked like a gacking thing that gacks....

Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

1. Cutter/Skywise  (Elfquest)
2. Remus/Sirius (HP -- Marauder Era)
3. Kirk/McCoy  (Star Trek Reboot)
4. Willow/Oz (BTVS Seasons 1-3)
5. Alanna(Alan)/George (The Song of the Lioness Quartet)
6. Crowley/Aziraphale  (Good Omens)
7. Sam/Frodo (LoTR)
8. Faramir/Eowyn (LoTR)
9. Harry/Draco (HP)
10. Kirk/Spock (Star Trek Reboot or TOS)


Okay, I tried for 10 different fandoms...but it would have been a stretch.  (Mind you, I could do 10 pairings from HP alone no problem.)
