shallowness

As I haven’t been watching any TV that I’d post about (I will get around to it, and with the bank holiday, this week will be lighter), I reposted a fic yesterday!

Sweet (I could be your favorite girl), The O.C. PG. 368 words. Kaitlin/Spencer. Summary: Over the years, she’s been getting better and better at having things her own way. Fluff. Established relationship. Future fic. (First posted in April 2007.

I only lightly edited it, although I wanted to do something about the first two paragraphs and all the uses of ‘nibbling’, but it would have been too much. Wow, that was only a month after I last reposted a fic.

Apparently The Wheel of Time is cancelled (is it my fault for not getting around to watch the third season yet?) :( In possibly good news, I saw that pictures from Zootopia 2 were released. Admittedly, sequels don’t have a great record (especially of original properties), but I am excited about more adventures with Judy and Nick and exploring the world further. It will all come down to the script. While I get it that they won’t be developing the ship, and that's fine, that's what fic is for, I don’t want to see any love interests for either.

I reposted a ficlet yesterday: That Cooper Family Christmas Feeling, The O.C. PG. 280 words. Kaitlin, gen. Summary: Alt!world Kaitlin’s Christmas Eve night. AU. Post 4.07. ‘The Christmukk-huh?’ (March 2007)

Very seasonal! (Or not.) Very niche, as it expands a bit on the alt world Ryan and Taylor visited. Lightly edited from the original version.

Étoile 1.1 The Swap

Me a few weeks ago: Why is YouTube promoting this trailer at me?

Me last week: OH, it’s an Amy Sherman-Palladino project about ballet (never did get to see Bunheads) on Prime.

Me after watching the trailer: Oh, I am so watching this.

This is me after watching the first episode.

I was saddened to learn yesterday of Michelle Trachtenberg’s passing at only 39. I hadn’t watched Gossip Girl, so she’s always been frozen as Dawn, the youngest Scoobie, in my mind. And now, if the Buffy reboot ever gets off the ground, she won't be able to be a part of it in any capacity. But obviously for the people who knew and loved her, the loss is greatest.

The AO3 meme, as seen at musesfool

1. Most Hits: Comprehension Mansfield Park - Jane Austen, Henry Crafword/Fanny Price. His marriage and his sister's wedding help Henry to see more. 9,685 hits. Still absolutely the fic that I've written that's had the most impact.

2. Second Most Kudos: Extreme Action Sky High (2005), Warren Peace/Layla Williams. Fake-out make-out. (Layla’s idea.) 591 kudos. The film is 20 years old! Must rewatch this year.

3. Third Most Comments: As above. 22 comments.

4. Fourth Most Bookmarks:
When we were strangers (or five ways Layla and Warren never met) Sky High (2005), Warren Peace/Layla Williams. Five ways Layla and Warren never met. 42 bookmarks.

5. Fifth Most Words: Be Careful…Always Dark Angel, Max Guevara/Alec McDowell. Two phrases. Two speakers. Different universes. 3.577 words (for me, that’s unthinkable these days.)

6. Fic With Fewest Words:
distance in your eyes Dark Angel, Logan Cale/Max Guevara, 51 words (it’s poetry!)

Aaand that reminds me that I still have fic that I need to repost here and at AO3, and before that I should probably post my three-sentence fills, none of which are over 3,500 words.

First recs post of the year! Fanfiction recs in the following fandoms: Arrival, Community, Gilmore Girls, Jupiter Ascending and Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

AKA Icons Week

( Dressing up. Two couples choices. )

Before that, I reposted a ficlet yesterday:
Feeling Fine The O.C., G/Universal. Kaitlin Cooper, Drabble. Summary: Mothers and daughters. Spoilers for ep 4.07. The Christmukk-huh? (March 2007)

I am reassured that AO3 has it at 100 words, as did I when I counted each one out – Word said it was 99. No editing required, although I don’t love the title. It’s from spring 2007, when The OC’s fourth season (the only one I have on DVD) kept inspiring fanfiction. If it were as easy to repost all my fics as that was, I would have caught up by now.

More fanfiction recs for the following fandoms: Man of Steel, Marvel Cinematic Universe/The West Wing, The Memoirs of Lady Trent, The Night Manager and an original fic rec.
