Over to you, folks!

OKAY. OKAY. LAST POST TODAY, I PROMISE -- or should I say first post today, since it's after midnight here? GAH, I AM RAMBLING ALREADY. THIS WILL WORK JUST FINE, THEN.

I find myself in the strange position of having three--no, four--huge stories in the works. When I say huge, I'm thinking at least upwards of 10K, probably nudging closer to 20K and over. And I'm stumped. Just thinking about ALLLL THE WORDS I'm going to write for them makes me leery of sitting my arse down and getting to it; moreover, I can't seem to decide which one to focus on right now.

So. After much pondering, and deft enabling by [livejournal.com profile] delicatale, to get my writing juices flowing I propose the following: PROMPT ME. I will write drabbles for as many prompts as I get ideas for, and that's a promise. I can't guarantee that every prompt will get filled, BUT I will do my absolute best for as long as I need this exercise. Now, it's half past midnight here right now, so this will happen tomorrow most likely, but. GO ON, YOU GUYS. I WANT TO WAKE UP TO A VERITABLE DELUGE OF PROMPTS! :D

Fandoms: Inception (Arthur/Eames), Sherlock (Sherlock/John, Mycroft/Lestrade (oh god)), H50 (Steve/Danny), XMFC (Charles/Erik), HP (Harry/Draco -- this one is for you, [livejournal.com profile] altri_uccelli, if you fancy it! :))

I did this last year for Christmas, when anyone who wanted a Christmas drabble from me got one. I will very likely do that again this year, so think of this as a wee taster! :D

Yeah, Once Upon A Time is okay. It's getting better. I watched the first episode and was so unimpressed I didn't bother continuing... but then [livejournal.com profile] queenklu kept mentioning it, and then my bff/soulmate was watching it and finding it likeable enough, so I figured I'd give it another chance (I mean, pilots are always kind of crap, aren't they). And... yeah. It gets better. On the whole it's a bit hokey and the writing and acting are sometimes questionable, but we're starting to get some interesting pieces of this world's interpretation of the fairy tales, and some of the characters are getting interesting backstory... things are all just generally getting fleshed out in a way that is an improvement. And Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) is FAMAZING, definitely best character in the show, I kind of adore him. (And as Mr. Gold I, uh, find him kind of hot, actually. @_@)

Re the leukemia story... yeah, I didn't actually cry, but I got very worried. I may just have a tinier soul than some people, idk... or... some people responded very personally to the story due to their experiences with the disease. I have family members who have died of cancer, but they lived some distance away from me and I didn't see them often, didn't have to sit and watch them waste away every day. I've never known anyone with leukemia. ...Also I was somewhat distracted by flaws in the writing. ^_^;; The writer's portrayal of the disease and Steve's difficulties dealing with it and Danny's difficulties dealing with it are very detailed and realistic... more than likely they're writing from experience.

Idk... it's very long, it's a long distressing haul, but... well, [livejournal.com profile] sheafrotherdon already spoiled that it has a happy ending. And for all that it's full of sadness and sickness and pain, it's full of love and caring and tenderness, too.

Let me know if you need help with the edits, yeah?

I'm gonna give it a go, if only because of the characters (The Mad Hatter is played by Sebastian Stan, a.k.a. Bucky Barnes, and I've, um. Kind of been obsessed with him ever since the film. I KNOW I'M SHALLOW, OKAY, I'M ALL RIGHT WITH THAT. >.>;;)

Well tbh if [livejournal.com profile] sheafrotherdon hadn't said that it had a happy ending, I wouldn't even think about reading it. Um. You know the kind of sap I am; I wouldn't have been able to handle it. IDK, there's some amazing stories in the exchange, but there are also some, um. Not so amazing ones, especially in terms of writing. It's one thing that puts me off exchanges, most of the time.

I will, love! I seriously am scared to even open the doc, god. D: D: I'm going to make a tentative start tomorrow, though, I have decided. I think I have an idea about the science; we'll see if that works. GODDD. /0\ /0\

a;skghslkfalsjfklsj SEBASTIAN STAN IS IN IT? I HAD NOT HEARD THAT! ...Clearly he's not shown up yet. I WOULD HAVE NOTICED.

Honey, I think it's totally valid to watch just for him. He's worth being shallow for. I've been kind of in love with his moody dark eyes since Kings.

*pets* Eeeeeeeeverything will be ooooooookay. ^_^

It is ENTIRELY LIKELY that I am wrong. In fact, the more I look, the higher the chances are that I'm wrong, but I was basing my assumption on this:



on this post. In fact, I've no idea how I've been left with the impression that this had anything at all to do with Once Upon A Time. Huh. Weird.

HE IS PRETTY DAMN AWESOME, and makes a fabulous Bucky. <3<3<3

Aaawwww, now I am all disappoint. :(

Hahaha, he does make a fabulous Bucky, for re-imagined values of Bucky. In the comics Bucky is a kid sidekick, like Robin the Boy Wonder, so when Steve first calls him by his nickname in the movie I just about snorfled all over myself. Changing his age was a good move, though, a wee child had no place in that movie. A sexy best friend, however... EXCELLENT.

I KNOW, SO AM I. D: I'd been looking forward to watching that...

God, I ship Steve/Bucky so fucking hard based on that film. SO HARD. First time I'm shipping a character equally with two different characters. So far I've always been OTP IS OTP, but now I ship Steve/Bucky just as hard as Steve/Tony. And don't even get me started on Bucky/Steve/Tony...
