I haven't posted three times in a day for a long time but I want to point you toward this post. See, randomling offered ficlets, and I asked for one based on trickc and hot chocolate. She wrote me Euro era trickc braces fic. Let me repeat that Euro era trickc braces fic. Anyone that knows me will know how much glee I had when I read the story. I had the full squeeing hand across mouth squeaking glee. So go, read.

Earlier I rubbed my hand across my forehead and realised it was sore. Which is when I remembered I'd walloped my head against the metal headboard of my bed this morning. Now I can't stop poking at the sore spot. Ouch. *is pathetic*

Meme now. The 10 Things I Assume You Know About Me meme which is in

(1) I live in England, which means a big majority of my flist are hours behind me due to time zones so I'm having tea or settling down for the night while they're just starting work.

(2) My real name is Terri, and I don't care if people call me that online at all. It's also not short for anything, despite certain people thinking it's funny calling me Terrance.

(3) I'm a stay at home mam by choice, and am perfectly happy with that decision.

(4) I'm multi fannish. Always have been, always will be. Some people don't seem to get that, but all the time I'm talking popslash, I'm also reading in dozens of different fandoms, reading comms for other fandoms, the only thing I don't do is write in other fandoms.

(5) I have no reading filters, if I friend you I'll read you. I tend to comment a lot and like to read about people's lives, no detail is too boring for me. I used to automatically friend back anyone that friended me, but I don't do that now. However, if you comment and let me know you're there, I'll almost certainly friend you back.

(6) The majority of my journal is public. All fannish stuff is, and most of the boring rl stuff. I have no problem talking about taking C to school in one paragraph and needing rimming recs in the next so if you want the fannish you'll get the rl too, I'm sly like that. The only flocked things tend to be me bitching on about silly things, and the times I get all stupid about family situations, and really, no one needs to read that.

(7) Talking of which. I refer to my boys sometimes, which is James, my other half, and my son, Corey, who's 11. I also refer to my sister ( Kayleigh or Kay ) she's 12 years younger than me and has a different dad, but she's my sister, there are no halves about the situation. Also Chris ( my brother )and I'll also mention my two nieces, two nephews, nanna, and mam and dad.

(7) I've written in three fandoms. The Sentinel, Mutant X and popslash. Wait, I lie. It's four now. I'll be honest, bandom has grabbed me and I know for a fact I'll be writing more. Mikeyway, how so hot!? I like writing, and have a website where I post my real stories. I say real because I often ficlet for people. Stories that are unbeta read and usually done in comments for fun. Which means varying quality, some I look back at and think, that was good, others, what was I on?!

(8) I love reading darkfic. Love it a lot. Give me a story full of angst and h/c, heavy on the hurt, and I'll be happy. I also love crackfic, badfic, schmoop, practically every kind of story out there, but angst and h/c is what I love the most.

(9) I mod a few comms, and enjoy doing so. I like giving back to fandom, because I love fandom. A lot ""

(10) My fannish obsessions are powerful things. Example, the whole Without a Trace thing I'm going through now. I fall for something, and spend weeks finding eps/footage, reading fic, just drowning in this new fandom. I also never leave fandoms behind, I just keep adding more.



Talking of writing, I've so caught the writing bandom bug, but the fandom is huge and there's so many stories and just. Wow. How can anyone even think of doing something new? I know so many people in popslash, and it's cosy and familiar and bandom feels like I'm stepping into a huge new world, clutching the hands of some people I know with a I love Mikey badge pinned to my chest.

Finally, tomorrow I'm announcing the new round over at pop_appreciate. I think it's the right time, a little fun in the post holiday slump is always welcome. So if you're interested, go check out the comm :)

So tell James not to be so rough. ;)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Such a pervert *g*

I wish it were for that reason, sadly it was in the rush of realising we'd slept in.

How's things, honey? Is work still keeping you captive?

[canadiandreamr.livejournal.com]

Well I'm not getting any, so someone needs to. LOL.

Work is eh. I'm averaging 20 hours/week, mostly midnights which I hate. I've told them my psychiatrist recommends I don't do midnights because I need to stay on a schedule, but they have yet to listen.

I've put in for a transfer to a new hotel in the area, it's still Intercontinental hotels, but a long-term stay/suite property. I've also applied for a full-time job here in town which would help immensely, we'll see what happens.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I hope you get that job. It's about time you got to do something you liked, and which doesn't have you working bad hours.

[canadiandreamr.livejournal.com]

This is the year of big changes for me, something has to give. *smoochies*

[duoshinigami.livejournal.com]

Oooooooooooo! Fun meme :D I may be taking that later!

Oh bandom...it snags a thread on your sweater and then pulls the rest of ya down fast!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's a fun meme. Though I never know what people know about me at all. So I assume they know everything and am puzzled when they don't at all *g*

Bandom, it's big and scary and more tempting all the time.

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

Note to self: Read slower. This: I'm stepping into a huge new world, clutching the hands of some people I know with a I love Mikey badge pinned to my chest. does not mean Terri needs a refresher course on the Disney characters. Which, thanks for harshing my yay! ;-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha.

Feel free to comment with the refresher anyway, you know I like your yay to be all shiny and happy :D

[sperrywink]

*shines own Mikey badge and holds your hand tighter*

It's so awesome to have you to fall into bandslash and Mikeyway with!


Picspam to celebrate!!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Dude, when I scroll down to reply, all I see is Mikey thighs, you don't want to know how many times I've had to correct this sentence.

It's so great to share the fall into bandom/Mikey with you, especially as you have such great taste in pairings :)

[milosflaca.livejournal.com]

whoa! *dies* hello there!!!!!

god, god. he's so very pretty. Yes he is.

[themoononastick]

How can anyone even think of doing something new?

That is exactly what I keep thinking about bandom. It feels like everything possible has already been written and that makes it so very challenging to dive into (as the half a dozen stalled fics on my 'puter will attest to).

I've been meaning to say this for ages - I have the first season of Without A Trace on DVD (it was one of my earliest LJ fandoms) and I'd be more than happy to chuck it in the post to you if you'd like to borrow it. (Seriously, I never watch it, it would make it feel like it was worth buying!) It has a few behind the scenes things, a couple of commentaries and lots of deleted/extended scenes that you might find fun to watch. It is a Region 1 dvd though (I tend to buy US dvd sets, they're cheaper) so you would need a multi-region player to watch it.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It really is a challenge. I only posted my MCR story because I got hit by inspiratuon and just wrote. If I actually sit and think about plotting a story, I end up thinking about how many are out there anyway, and get a little intimidated.

That's a wonderful offer, and one I'll take you up on for sure. Region 1 is fine as I bought a multi-region dvd player for the reason you did, cheaper DVDs.

I'll post my address here, then edit it out. Thank you so much!

[themoononastick]

I'm determined not to let the whole everything's been written issue put me off writing bandom fic (as has happened with other fandoms eg SPN, popslash) but it's hard not to feel a little overwhelmed by it all at times. Ho hum.

Anyhoo, I put the WaT dvds in the post today, they should be with you in a day or so. Enjoy!

[bououou.livejournal.com]

I have no reading filters, if I friend you I'll read you.
Yep! I'm like that too! :p
We only have popslash as common fandom. I have no idea what The ssentinel is except for what I read on wiki and only saw a few episode of Mutant X.
I'm more into Buffy, Harry Potter and Doctor Who.
But i've only written in popslash and a little in HP. :p

[turps33.livejournal.com]

The Sentinel is one of the slashiest shows on tv, seriously. The writing and plots are dodgy at times, but the chemistry between the male leads, who live together may I add, is awesome. That's Blair in my icon.

But only writing a little means you've fresh ideas for the future, which is a win win situation :)

[milosflaca.livejournal.com]

I thought Terri was short for something :D
I've always wondered on the "sofonda cox" part though. Is that your other name? *winks*.

and thanks for letting me know about Pop Appreciate. I'll try to submitt my entry on time (that is, if I get home early. I so wanna win this year too)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Nope. Just Terri. It's actually not a common girl's name over here, which means I've never had a personalised mug or stuff like that. *has woe*

Hee, the sofonda cox is my porn star name. digital_diva and I were chatting and looked up on of those silly memes. I was Sofona Cox, she was Busty De Lusty, we've both used the names ever since *g*

YAY! I'm glad you're playing again. I'm not actually starting the challenge until next Monday, so hopefully you'll have time.

[milosflaca.livejournal.com]

ah! now I get it :)
I remember I answered that meme, but I don't remember my porn star name :P

and thanks for the heads up about the challenge. I'll certainly join you guys next week.

[nopseud]

Wait, you forgot the most important one.

(11) I am AWESOME!

There, fixed it for you.

Thank you :)

Hear, hear!!!

I didn't really know much on the 10 things meme (maybe b/c I'm new?), so thanks for sharing!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's totally because you're new. Soon you'll know all about me, like the poor people who have been here a while *g*

[nikomaria.livejournal.com]

(10) My fannish obsessions are powerful things. Example, the whole Without a Trace thing I'm going through now. I fall for something, and spend weeks finding eps/footage, reading fic, just drowning in this new fandom. I also never leave fandoms behind, I just keep adding more.

I'm exactly the same. :)

What you have with WaT at the moment, I have with NCIS. I rented the first season because I was bored, never imagined that I would get into it. And now I'm finishing season 2 (thank god my local DVD club has the first three season) and I'm reading fics like crazy. The good thing coming into a fandom that is already in year 5 is, that there are tons of recs out there, and you don't have to rdead a lotc of bad fics to find the really good ones.

I just loooooooooove getting into a new fandom! :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I hear you on NCIS. I only fell for the show at the end of last year, and within months I'd downloaded all the seasons, read hundreds of fics and fell totally in lust with Tony.

I just loooooooooove getting into a new fandom! :)

Hell, yeah!

[hermitsoul]

I also never leave fandoms behind, I just keep adding more.

I am the same way - I love being multi fannish!

The best thing about bandom? All anyone needs is one

I love . . .

button. That's the way this fandom lures people in, one step at a time. ;)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yep, multi fannish is the way to be :)

That's the way this fandom lures people in, one step at a time. ;)

That's so true. All you need is that one little admission and next thing you know you've 892789 pictures, a load of icons and plans to write more fic.

Man, your icon is awesome!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

I think I knew all of those things. Although, you left out a very important thing.

You love Chris Kirkpatrick lots and lots! Heh.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You probably did, you've been around a long time.

I do love Chris lots! The most beautiful man in the world *happy sigh*

How's things going for you? I haven't seen you post for a while.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bettina_/]

How's things going for you? I haven't seen you post for a while.

They are better now. I haven't been in the best of moods in the last couple weeks. I hope it gets better now.

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like this meme! And I'd say I did indeed already know all these things. But then I've been around forever, haven't I? *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You have been around forever! Years and years now!
