Mar. 21st, 2007 10:57 amI woke up to the smell of burning yesterday morning. After a futile search around the house sniffing sockets and the boiler, and a moment my heart stopped when James said he saw smoke, we decided it must be coming from outside. Later I found out that the quarry at the top of my estate was on fire. It still is actually. The quarry is used as a landfill site now, and all you can see is grey smoke and the smell is horrendous. Burning plastic and rubbish and despite all the windows being shut it's seeping into everything. I had a headache all day and I'm sure it was because of that. Thankfully it's not as bad as yesterday, so fingers crossed things are under control now.
I have much glee that Chris was at Justin's concert. Really, I have much pop glee about everything right now. You could mention anything sparkly related and I'd be, OMG YAY! But yes, Justin and Chris. In my world they've always been friends and this just adds evidence to that. I love my world. It's happy and shiny and yay. Well, until I write about them when things go angsty and not yay. I should write something now really, the yay could bleed into it. Happy fic from me, surely not.
Also, this picture makes my heart ache. I love him so. How could anyone boo them?
The crack from last weekend has put me in the mood to tackle the wtf stories again. Thing is, I'm stuck half way through a tentacles story. But it's mpreg next and I have the whole story planned. I know everything that's going to happen, how and why and to who. I want to write it! But those bloody tentacles need taking care of first.
You know, someone needs to organise another happy fic challenge. I'd join it in an instant right now.
Okay, I'm done :D
ETA: I need an intervention. I've just been researching pairing days etc and pondering another happyfic challenge in the summer. But think about it. Sun, unless you're on the other side of teh world, where cold, but cold is happy too! Then snuggling and fires and happy! Or warmth and laughing in the golden sunshine and happy!. Nsync and Backstreet. Any pairing. Someone needs to end this insanity.

Chris is just... so very awesome.
Bascially a 'write the kinds of stories that I like' challenge. :-)
Well, I may have been emailing Vaudevilles about this, and I may have suggested that it be a happyfic challenge where people write happy and are happy with what they're writing, which could be anything from solo to GSF with every combination inbetween. Wives, girlfriends, heck, any crossover as long as the sparkly boys are there too.
Which means, yes I'm running with it. It's just a case of deciding on prompts now.

How about, instead of picture or lyric prompts, getting people to put in actual requests? Everyone could put in a few (3, 4, 5?) different requests when they sign up, with more or less detail as they prefer (I guess that less detail would be more likely to get the request picked), and then when sign-ups finish people could choose a request they want to write from the final pool. You could even let non-writers put in requests, to increase the pool size. The only rule would be that the requests have to be for happy stories.
It would be a bit like DWNOGA/Yuletide, except they people would be able to choose a request that didn't scare them :-)
