9:39 pm	Flist cuts I done a bit of flist trimming over the past week or so. Most people probably won't notice or care, since we don't interact much (or at all) anyway, but I just wanted to give the heads up so there wouldn't be any misunderstandings. ETA: If we talk on a somewhat regular basis, then I did not cut you, so calm down. :p (Comment on this)

12:12 am	New Community Okay, yeah, this is one of those community pimping posts, so feel free to ignore it. :p I wanted to let everyone know about a new community that might interest fans of The Breakfast Club and other 80's films, books and TV shows. 80s_fqf is a fic writing community for 80's-based fandoms. The goal is to give prompts for sadly neglected 80's fandoms and find people who want to write them. For example, if there's a specific Back to the Future fic that you've always wanted to read but have never seen written, then you can request it at 80s_fqf. HOW IT WORKS: Right now, we have an entry where you may comment with prompts for any 80's-based fandom. After a few weeks, the mods will close the prompt entry and will repost all of the prompts, organized by fandom, onto one claiming post. Community members may then read through the available prompts and choose one (or several) prompts that they would like to write. Once you've chosen your prompts, leave a comment in the post to tell the mods which prompts you have chosen. Then write the fic! (For more information, please read our rules post.) If you are not a writer, you can still leave us prompts and watch the community. The community accepts prompts from any 80's movie, show or book. Which means that fans of Clue and When Harry Met Sally and Family Ties and Labyrinth and The Princess Bride can all make requests and find great fic there. Something for everyone, right? :) (Comment on this)

11:07 am	FIC: Dark Morning, Swathed in Blue (Brokeback Mountain) Disclaimer: I don’t own Brokeback Mountain. The title was inspired by passages from Annie Proulx’s story. Rating: PG-13 for mild language Summary: One-shot. A few months after Jack’s death, Ennis wakes up in the middle of the night after dreaming about Jack. Based mostly on the short story, but was probably influenced by the movie as well. Genre: Angst/melodrama Word count: approx. 1200 Original post date: March 2006 on ff.net A/N: I wrote this fic almost two years ago, right after I read the short story and saw the film for the first time. I was going to do a bunch of editing before I posted it to my journal, but after rereading it I decided that I'd just let it be. So here it is in all of its melodramatic, unbetaed glory. Concrit is welcome. ( Dark Morning, Swathed in Blue ) (Comment on this)

A/N: Written for harryron100. Thank you to foretinterdite for the beta, and to shes_gone, who didn't see this draft but did discuss draft one with me. ( Polite ) (Comment on this)

8:16 pm	Help Okay, so I've got a question for all of my flist. I'm writing a fic that requires substantial knowledge of Ireland, and I'm not exactly an expert. General research has given me a start, but I was wondering what people did for, erm, Irish picking? Irish betas? Irish people who can laugh at me when I show them my earnest little fic wherein I completely mangle Irish culture and slang? I don't even know what I'm asking, but hopefully someone on my flist will save me from myself and give me a shove in the right direction. Yes, it's an HP fic. And yes, it's Deamus. Fortunately it's not for a fest, so I can be open about it. (Comment on this)

10:20 pm	86 icons: Ireland, Hands, Men, Women, Gay, Harry/Ron fan art Hello! I've been making a bunch of icons lately and thought that I would share. Please keep in mind that I'm really awful at making icons since I hardly know how to use my photo editing software. Any quality pictures here are the result of excellent photography/art and not any skill on my part. These icons are NOT WORK SAFE. There is some nudity and lots of sex. None of these photos came from porn sites; all are the work of professional photographers. There aren't really any rules here. Just take what you want. Edit or add text (every time I add text it looks terrible, so I left them all blank). Credit me or not, it doesn't matter. Some of these icons are cork   's work from the beautiful winter scene she gifted shes_gone   in the bestmates_xmas   exchange. If you use any of these icons, please be sure to credit her in your comments. 1-2: Hand holding 3-10: Ireland/Irish-themed 11-29: Men 30-31: Women 32-49: Gay men 50: Gay women 51-71: Photography by Jack Slomovits (gay/nude male) 72-86: Harry/Ron fan art by reallycorking ( 86 icons ) (Comment on this)

1:28 pm	FIC: Latter Days: Study Break Title: Study Break Fandom: Latter Days Summary: Aaron is trying to studying. Christian is trying to distract him. Aaron/Christian, one-shot. Rating: NC-17 for mild language and strong sexual content Beta: Thank you to shes_gone for the edits and ideas and hand holding. A/N: Written for supercaptain182 in Yuletide 2007. This fic is pretty much porny fun and makes no attempt whatsoever to build upon any of the religious or social issues presented in the film. Also, a sincere thanks to everyone who reviewed the fic on yuletide. I don't have a way to reply to those messages, but I do appreciate them. ( Study Break ) (Comment on this)

12:14 am	For anyone writing me something sexy for an exchange... ( Extra stuff ) (Comment on this)
Monday, December 24th, 2007
12:41 am	Gift Exchange Likes/Dislikes List I saw someone else do this and thought it might be a good idea. This post is basically just information about what I do and don't like when it comes to fan fiction and is a guide for anyone who is planning to write me a fic, for an official exchange or otherwise. Please ignore it if you are not interested. The only reason I'm not post-dating it is that some people on my flist might actually care! And who knows, maybe you share some of my kinks/squicks and never knew it and now we'll bond over them and be all BFF. Or maybe you'll decide you hate me and want to remove me from your flist. My main fandoms are Harry Potter and The Breakfast Club, but I have dabbled in other fandoms as well. My favorite films, books, and TV shows are listed on my profile. General Likes Sex stuff: kissing; blow jobs; chair!sex; straddling (guh); grinding; frotting; nuzzling of hair and necks and stomachs and crotches and basically anywhere; half-clothed sex; mild dirty talk (but please no "who's your daddy?" dialogue, calling each other dirty names like "slut" or "whore", or making people beg too much - basically, I like passionate babbling and talking about what they want, with some cursing thrown in); imperfect, realistic, awkward and/or messy sex; accidental premature ejaculations; desperate, impatient sex; in a threesome, when one person is simultaneously penetrated and given oral, and when the penetrator can feel the oral ministrations; sex with an Animagus in animal form (mostly prefer oral in this case). Other than a few random kinks, I'm pretty vanilla in my tastes. ( And... ) General: slash and friendship; messy, complicated relationships; dark themes; action/suspense; sarcasm; angst; secret/semi-secret relationships; relationships based on sex but becoming emotional with time; conflict coming from within the relationship; relationships based on friendship; the complication of mixing friendship and sex; boys acting like boys; open or bittersweet endings (basically, I like all kinds of endings - happy and non-happy endings are both fine, as are character deaths); AU; first time/beginning of relationship; fics that span a great length of time; fics with meaty plots; fics with lots of sex. General Dislikes/Squicks: Sex stuff: Mostly the usual suspects: watersports, scat, bloodplay, breathplay, M-preg, necrophilia, non- or dub-con, bestiality (unless it involves a transformed Animagus, which is fine), cross-dressing, heavy BDSM, torture as a kink. I am fairly vanilla in my tastes. General: extreme angst relating to suicide, self-mutilation, depression, rape, or abuse when it is used as a convenient plot device, especially to bring a couple together (if you want to explore the topic on its own and not as a means to an end, then that's probably fine); extreme soppy fluff; character bashing (even of characters I don't care for); ANY non-canon nicknames (unless spoken in jest); anyone calling anyone else "baby" unless there is an actual infant involved; infidelity; group sex (unless it's Trio or a listed OT3, in which case you should feel very free...actually, there are a lot of exceptions to this one, but generally I don't look for orgy fics); biting; anything too public or domestic; when a bomb like incest is dropped unexpectantly in the middle of an otherwise vanilla fic. Harry Potter Likes General: close Trio interaction and friendship where they are heavily involved in each other's lives (please don't ship her off somewhere!), unless that's part of the story's conflict; appearances from Neville and/or Luna (I love the Harry/Luna friendship); DH compliance; conflicted!Hermione; moody!Harry; confused!Harry; confused!Ron; conflicted!Sirius; Padfoot!Sirius; war or post-war; AU. Pairings: Harry/Ron, Remus/Sirius, Harry/Oliver, Harry/Sirius, Trio (Harry/Ron/Hermione), Harry/Ron/Luna, Seamus/Dean, Gryffindor boy/Gryffindor boy, Harry/Luna friendship, and Harry/Snape (sometimes). Characters: Harry, Sirius, Remus, Luna, Neville, Ron, Hermione, Viktor, Oliver. Harry/Ron/Hermione: I love it when this OT3 gets messy. I'm a big Harry/Ron fan, so any emphasis on that part of the triangle is lovely. I get really sad when Harry gets shoved to the side to make way for Ron/Hermione. Harry/Sirius: I like keeping the taboo nature of their relationship intact and prefer not to gloss over the godfather/godson, best friend's son, or cross-gen aspects. I also like a lot of mention of James Sr. in Harry/Sirius fics. Also, I usually prefer Harry to be at least 16, which obviously means AU. If not, then something taking place during book five so that he's 15. Harry/Luna: I love their friendship and spiritual/emotional connection, and I love that she gets him in a way that no one else does. I sometimes have a hard time believing H/L romance, preferring the wistful friendship they share, but I'm up for it if you want to give it a go! Harry/Snape: I like Harry/Snape fics taking place after Harry leaves Hogwarts, with him as a young adult or even a professor (obviously this makes the fic AU, on many levels). The idea of the two of them working together, and carrying on a relationship under McGonagall's nose, is very appealing. Harry Potter Dislikes/Squicks General: the epilogue; omniscient or matchmaker Hermione/Ginny/Mrs. Weasley (or anyone, really); Harry using a time turner to visit the Marauders. Characters/Pairings: Harry/Ginny, Harry/Cho, Remus/Tonks. I also don't care much for Ginny or Tonks, but I don't like to see unfair characterizations of either of them. I just don't love them in the forefront of a fic, or when they're written in an overly positive light. Breakfast Club Likes Pairings (in loose order or preference): Andy/Brian, Andy/Allison, Allison/Claire, John/Brian. I would also enjoy Brian/Claire, John/Claire or John/Andy. Characters: Brian, Andy, John, Carl General: friendship between the boys; diverse, realistically written parents and friends; assholes and nice people in all levels of the high school population; college/early 20's fics; fics exploring family ties; fics where any of them do something unexpected after high school (e.g. get interesting jobs, travel, go to school); fics exploring Brian or Andy (or even Claire) being unsuccessful in college or their adult lives. Breakfast Club Dislikes/Squicks Pairings/characters: I don't have any squick pairings (except maybe anyone with Vernon), but if you don't see it listed above then it probably doesn't interest me much. I like all of the characters besides Vernon, although I have enjoyed some Vernon gen fic in the past. But mainly the five teenagers and Carl are the ones I'm interested in. General: one-dimensional parents and friends; any of the characters turning a complete 180 after detention; fics where the jocks/cheerleaders/cool kids are all complete assholes who make fun of Brian/John/Allison for no reason whatsoever; fics where all of Brian's friends are all completely geeky/ugly/uncool/socially inept/sci-fi or fantasy obsessed/good at school/smart/bad dressers; fics where the entire school notices this strange new group of five friends and decides to tear them down or shun them; fics where the BC bands together against the entire school. There are exceptions to every "rule" listed above, and I have read many fics that employ some of my squicks as story elements. (So if you are reading this and have ever written a fic using my squicks, then please don't be offended or think that I was lying if I commented and said I liked it - I wasn't lying, I promise!) This is just a rough guide, to be taken with a grain or salt and a lot of flexibility. If you have any questions, shes_gone  and trubbleclef  both know my Harry Potter likes/dislikes really well. For Breakfast Club,twbasketcase  knows every single little thing there is to know about what I like and don't like, probably even better than I do, actually. (Comment on this)

11:21 pm	DDIO added to fic list I finally got around to posting 'Don't Dream It's Over', the sequel to by Andy/Brian TBC fic 'When You Call My Name'. I have the first nine chapters posted on fanfiction.net, but I wanted to post them here as well since this has become the primary location for all of my fan fiction. Also, fanfiction.net doesn't allow for NC-17 rated fics, and the rating might go up on this one. So, if you're interested, here it is. Title: Don't Dream It's Over Summary: Sequel to When You Call My Name. When Andy comes home from college for winter break, Brian finds that a lot can change in three months. He has doubts about where they really stand, even as his own feelings grow beyond his control. Pairing: Andy/Brian Overall Rating: R (future chapters may go up to NC-17) Overall Warnings: slash, sexual content, language, WIP Original Post Date: Sept. 2006 Chapters: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 And, in case any one cares, I'm still working on it and will try to get the next chapter out within the month.
