shallowness

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.

I posted The Art of Getting Along, a Sky High, Warren-centric ficlet about friendship yesterday. It was inspired by the prompt ‘Any fandom, getting along with someone in your friend group that you don't particularly like.’ ( Read more... )

Traitors 1/8

2019 has been a wasteland of TV dramas I wanted to watch so far, so I perked up when I heard about this: a spy show set in post-war London. Now, I’ve seen it, I’m less enthused. ( spoilers )

I intended to continue last week’s ‘space’ theme for Music Monday, and link to Blur’s Far Out, but I can’t find the album version, which is my favourite. Bah.

I posted five ficlets yesterday: Doc Brown’s [Sky High, Medulla]/Career Pathway [Harry Potter, Luna, Flitwick]/The Pop-up Shop [Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, Mahoney]/”Hello?” [MCU, Darcy]/Still Learning [X-Men Alternate Timeline Movies, Hank] - here.

They were written during January, and are in movie fandoms (well, the Harry Potter one is more book canon). Four are definitely gen and one a bit cracky. Three were fills for ‘any, any’ prompts, which is all on my brain. One fandom was new, in that I wrote X-Men alternate movie timeline fic – I have strong feelings that there are many subtexts to the X-Men, and I suppose the newer movies are better at bringing out race and disability issues. I wrote that one at the start of the month and can’t remember where the OCs’ names came from. That and the Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium one have been posted at ff.net and AO3.

This is inspired by the 'What were you into 10 years ago?' meme/question. Ten years ago, I wasn't on Dreamwidth yet, but I posted the following at Livejournal.

Candlelight, Sky High, G. Layla/Warren (established relationship). 300 words. Written (self-indulgently) for 2009’s Epiphany wishkiss ficathon. Summary: Layla helps Warren close up at The Paper Lantern. First posted: 18 January 2009.
