Man where is everyone? Entertain me damn it! Don't you know it's bucketing down here!

I've decided my nanna is insane today. My brother went to see her earlier and she was moaning we hadn't been up since Easter! WTF!? I was there two weeks ago. What gets me is he goes up maybe one a year and is seen as wonderboy. We go at least once a month and it's not enough.

I've been looking at my TS AU today. It's funny, the first two parts run to about 20 pages each. At the time I thought that was so long, now it seems really short. Part 3 is half done and I'm going to finish it. Related to that, for my own reference.

Jo's angry JC challenge 1000 words -- 8th August
Cliche challenge 1000 words -- 6th Sept
JC ficathon -- 30th June
Josh's BD story -- 18th July
Boxes -- Ongoing
The End -- Ongoing

Get ST site done. Do pictures you idiot
Update the MX site.


I saw _betinna_ post a 100 things about her list yesterday. I talk about me a lot on here so I've done a 100 fannish things about me, sadly I could do a load more.



(1)My first fandom was Star Trek Voyager
(2)I was a Paris/Torres shipper
(3)Because I didn’t know what slash was
(4)Then I found links to Chakotay/Paris stories, and never looked back
(5)My first ever slash fic was a n/c with Tom Paris as the victim, which maybe explains a lot *g*
(6)I then moved onto reading Poltergeist the Legacy slash (Nick/Derek and Nick/Philip)
(7)I lurked on lots of Trek lists, and didn’t post once
(8)My first comment was on a Tom Paris mailing list
(9)I then found The A Team slash ( Face/Murdock)
(10)Which led to Battlestar Galactica slash ( Starbuck/Apollo)
(11)castalie answered a comment on the A team list, and we began a friendship that’s lasted years
(12)At that time I read in a lot of fandoms but didn’t really participate
(13)I’m really unconfident and posting makes me feel sick
(14)It still does, which is why I love LJ so much
(15) Because you can delete posts here
(16)I read a few stories in Due South but never got into the fandom
(17)Same with Highlander at that time
(18)One day Castalie mailed and said she’d found this wonderful archive
(19)It was 852 Prospect, The Sentinel’s archive
(20)At that point neither of us had seen the show
(21)I spent weeks reading through the whole archive
(22)I didn’t like Jim in fanfic, I was a Blairbabe all the way through
(23)I was so addicted to Sentinel I joined multiple lists, both gen and slash
(24)I jokingly sent Castalie a short paragraph with Jim coming in Blair’s hair
(25)It was the first thing I’d written since school
(26)She liked it and encouraged me to write more
(27)The first story I ever wrote was for Castalie’s birthday and was about a blood kink.
(28)The first draft sucked, Starwatcher and others fixed it
(29)My obsession with TS kept growing and I spent far too much money buying good quality episodes.
(30)I watched all four seasons within a few days
(31)And discovered that I loved Jim too, go figure *g*
(32)At that time I lived and breathed Sentinel
(33)I posted on lists, and a few times discovered that TS can be all about cliques
(34)As much as I love slash I felt more at home in the gen list
(35)Where I met some wonderful people
(36)If it wasn’t for that fandom I wouldn’t be writing at all
(37)But it’s that fandom that made me feel the worst I’ve ever felt about my writing when a group tore my story to bits
(38)The thing was I’d asked for it, and said I could take constructive crit
(39)I couldn’t. I was still too new and I nearly didn’t write another word
(40)I can take crit now, I have to because I need it and know that
(41)Around that time I found Mutant X
(42)I fell in love with Brennan
(43)I posted to lists and wrote
(44)Doing that hardened me as a writer
(45)It had to, when you post and get maybe 1 LoC at best you learn to write for yourself
(46)I set up a Mutant X slash archive
(47)And started to drop some lists, just keeping the Sentinel ones and one trek list
(48)I still went to Trek cons where I met some awesome people
(49)I met most of the Voyager stars
(50)Including Robert Duncan McNeil ( Tom Paris )
(51)The first day of the con was blazingly hot, and we had to queue outside for hours. (52)I was burned but because of my necklace had a white cross on my chest for months.
(53)I met Robert and could hardly walk over to him I was so nervous. It didn’t help I looked like a red fat tomato.
(54)He couldn’t understand my accent…sigh
(56) I wrote a lot in that time, both MX and TS
(57) Including the story that got me the most LoCs ever.
(58) The End is a post apocalypse AU and the day I posted it I got over 50 LoCs
(59) In the next part of the story I killed Simon and the story wasn’t well liked
(60) I skirted around popslash for a long time
(61) But at the time didn’t have a LJ so looked for BSB slash online and found some terrible stuff
(62) I was scared away
(63) But was still interested, because hmmmm Kevin and Nick
(64) I got a LJ and had 2 friends for months
(65) I agonised over rps and thought about getting another LJ for popslash as it was looked down on by the media slash people
(66) Then thought screw it and wrote a BSB fic
(67) I posted it at BSB slash comm and 3 people commented
(68) Including [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] who kindly beta read my first ‘real’ popslash story
(69) I had no idea who Nsync were then read a cross over and liked the sound of Chris
(70) I looked up some pics and fell in love/lust yet again
(71) I love Chris
(72) I’ve loved every moment in popslash fandom, apart from the hate thread
(73) I still like MX and TS
(74) Sometimes I want to tattoo that across my forehead or across the header of my LJ
(75) I don’t think I’m a good writer
(76) I’m okay but good? Nope.
(77) James knows I’m a slasher, as do my siblings
(78) My brother found out when he read a scene from a TS threesome on my Palm, a very graphic scene
(79) He’s never said anything directly about it, he just thinks I’m weird,
(80) As does my sister
(81) My best friend knows and is supportive. But she tried to read a fic once and couldn’t get past a kissing scene *g*
(82) Fandom is my happy place.
(83) I’ve never been that popular
(84) Which is why I’m surprised when people friend me on here
(85) My OTP is technically trickyfish
(86) But just below that is TrickC, Choey and Timbertrick, as well as Chris/Nick and Chris/Kevin
(87) What can I say? It’s a Chris thing *g*
(88) If I like something I’ll try and find slash for it
(89) Why oh why is there not more Sliders slash!?
(90) I’ve written Chris/Blair
(91) I often wonder what would happen if I posted it to 852 Prospect
(92) Then decided being run out of fandom probably wouldn’t be fun ;)
(93) I have a lot of kinks and hot buttons
(94) I don’t have any squicks as such but I have one thing that leaves me cold
(95) Which I won’t mention as last time I did I had a thread of comments relating to that *g*
(96) I’ve been having a flirtation with Highlander for the last few months
(97) Richie Ryan….drools
(98) But am in denial about something that didn’t happen.
(99) I love fandom
(100) I love Blair, Richie, Tom, Nick, Quinn, Brennan, Jesse, Jim, Kevin, Nick, Howie, AJ, Brian, Justin, Lance, Joey, JC and Chris.
(101) I’m a slash slut, and that’s just the way I like it 



Then to make sure this post is really long, the

I couldn't find many, just these few.

Chips [like Doritos] are called crisps, and fries are called chips. Yep. Which is just how it should be! ;)
You spell "gray" as "grey and wonder what other places have against 'U's in words".
You have heard of the TV soap "Eastenders".
You say "new" as "nyew" and not "noo", and the same with stew, dew, etc.
You call trash cans "rubbish bins".
You say data as "dayta" and not "dadda".
You don't call football "soccer". Ever. Man no. I'd never call it soccer.
To you, American football is just a different version of rugby. Not even that, all it looks like is men in tight trousers running a few feet and falling over.
Cheerleaders are non-existant were you come from.
You used the word "bloody" as swearing. Hell yeah!
You say these words: sod, blimey, shag, knickers, bollocks, arse. I do
You call vacations "holidays".
You call candy "sweets/sweeties".
You laugh when you see a magazine advertising " 10 ways to lose 2 inches off your fanny" LOL, that's one of the best ones. Fanny pack make me giggle every time I see the words.
You have more free drink refills in restaurants than you actually need to make up for all those years you've been missing out. Even if you do have to make frequent visits to the toilet Guilty.
You have a phone cord less than 400 feet long on your kitchen phone. I don't have a kitchen phone at all and I've never seen one with a long cord.


Before I go. Happy Father's Day to all the dads, especially my dad ( who would have a heart attack if he ever read this ) and James.

And now I go stare at the rain write.

Yeah! It's like there's two teams playing for the same side and that's insane.
