Since fanfiction and fanart are basically the only things I post, here's a list. I realize you could just go through my tags, but I hate doing that on other people's journals, so why should I make anyone else?

( List, list, list. )

I am still sick, but well enough to be bored and well enough to write, so I am working on my to-do list.

This is a commentary for Common Issues in Child Care (gen Gallifrey fic)! It was requested slightly less than a year ago by aralias. I live up to my commitments! Very slowly. If you want to read the commentary, I suggest reading the original fic first, because I probably spoil the plot with my commentary, and I definitely spoil the pacing.

If, for some reason, you have always wanted to hear my thoughts on my fic, I'm always taking requests. You probably will not have to wait a year, since I currently have very little to do.

This is written DVD-style, with comments in bold and fic in... non-bold. Sorry about any weird formatting - my copy of word doesn't play well with DW/LJ.

I am graduated! It was definitely an... experience.

In amongst all of this graduation ridiculousness, I did finally manage to see Avengers. No spoilers here, but I am now drowning in Bruce Banner feels (which I've had for years, but my own anger management issues this year plus his presence in Avengers have ratcheted up the level of 'ahhhh, Bruce Bannnnner' to a previously unforeseen amount). Also writing fic. Messy emotional fic that I will probably need to edit to death later, but whatever. I'm going to have to see if any of the Hulk comics I have at home are reasonably okay, I can't remember. And if anyone does Marvel and has Hulk arc recs, I would be super grateful.

I'm done with finals! All I have to do is submit my (edited and finished) thesis to the library archive, and then that's everything. No more undergraduate career. It all went pretty well, I think, but it was a ridic amount of stuff to get through. I was writing my final final paper on Thursday, took a break to help friends move their stuff, spent five and a half hours moving their stuff, went back and finished drafting that paper at 11 pm, hung out with a friend at a graveyard as a break, went back and finished the second draft at 3 am. Then I got up Friday morning, edited, gave the paper to a friend to check, finished the paper, and hung out with a bunch of my senior friends. And then made cookies. And then went to a friend's voice recital. And then the last fencing party was at my house (it was awesome, very chill), and then another friend came and kept me up talking about her feelings and her sadness about leaving the US to study at oxford, and I didn't go to bed until 4 am. Same friend kept me up last night too, I think she's part of a conspiracy to make me exhausted.

/tl;dr, point is, this is ridiculous. And the rest of the week is going to be more of the same. And the rear-view mirror in my car came unglued, so I need to fix that (and do all my other errands). But the summer is coming, and I am only working weekends so I am going to CATCH UP, I have so many fics in my to-read list, I have so many books I've been waiting to check out, there are new episodes of Community, I have SO MANY wips, oh man.

But it's sad to be graduating, and to face losing touch with all of my friends, because I'm great at making acquaintances and even really close friends, but I am shit at keeping in touch. And I know grad school is going to be way smaller and way less friendly than this, because everything is going to be smaller and less friendly than this.

Okay. To close, a series of texts from the Friday night fencing party:

Mailin, having stolen my phone and sending texts to all of my recent contacts: Hihihnihnihninh
My friend Christian: Hihihi... drinking a little?
Me, having regained my phone: Meilin commandeered my phone
C: So is that a yes or no?
Me: Yes but not that much
C: Ah I see...and what would Meilin like to say?
Me, returning the phone despite my better judgment: Here she comes
Mailin: Its mailin
M: Hi
M: Would you like a aosnnetg
M: Sonn et
C: Yes.
M: Let me not to the marriage biof true minds admit impedients love is not love love which alters when it m
M: Alteration fi nfds
-Mailin gives up in disgust at her inability to manipulate my keyboard-
Me: She tried
C: How sweet...perhaps you should drink a bit more so you can be at her level
Me: Haha, I don't think I could get there

Man, I'm going to miss these people so much. I still get fucking flashbacks to Germany, and I was there for a semester, how long am I going to get flashbacks to Boston?

This has been a maudlin post. I'm going to get started on my to-do list and stop thinking about this for a bit.

A fanvid for By the Sword. Actually, a reenactment of By the Sword's final scene. Basically, I wrote down all of the choreography and lines from the duel, my friend brought her foils, and friend no. 2 brought her camera. It took me a while to edit it all together, but it's done! More or less. We didn't have any crowds to use for cuts, so I used clips of BtS' infamous dream sequences instead.




(Compare with the original scene here.)

So... yeah. I care about By the Sword a lot, you guys, I can't even. Also, I am sorry about how ridiculous and awkward this is, but I'm also not sorry because I secretly think it's awesome, haha.

I did a remix! I realize author reveals were a little while ago, but I'm getting around to it now, haha.

Gearbox (The Won't Miss a Piece Remix)
Doctor Who
Rating: gen
(no warnings)
Characters: Seven, Ace, and a bunch of Doctors and companions.
Wordcount: 6,000ish
Summary: “How does the TARDIS work?” asks Ace.
A/N: Written for Remix Redux 10, for roachpatrol. A remix of Ad Astra Per Anatis, which is fascinating and people should read. Betaed by aralias, who is an excellent person who puts up with my remix-instigated Ace fixation.

(Link to the fic on the AO3)

It was fun remixing roachpatrol! I've been following her writing for about... two years? Three? Regardless, I'm familiar, so it was more about picking apart the thoughts I already had, rather than working out something new. I did have to do some rewriting, and ended up getting uncomfortably close to the deadline, but I think it all worked out well.

( a couple other thoughts and some bonus remix drabbles )

I am still crashing post-classes and two days of fencing/pre-finals ridiculousness/general exhaustion, so I figured I'd do the AO3/Teaspoon hit count meme rather than anything useful. It did get kind of long, though. Numbers and some babbling about those numbers under the cut:

I was remixed! Someone took Adrenaline and Endorphins and turned it into Begin As You Mean to Go On. It's a really great Theta/Koschei piece with some interesting character dynamics and science tinkering and all-nighters, and I love it, oh man. Adrenaline and Endorphins is one of those anonmeme fics where I didn't quite have a handle on what I was trying to say, and I feel like the remix really teased out the main points of the fic. So, yeah. If you are a Doctor/Master fan like most of my flist, I definitely recommend checking it out.

Meanwhile, I'm starting to catch upon my life. This week I turned in my thesis (59 pages and out of my hands, yessss), turned in my last paper for one class, did my mock thesis defense, and did a presentation for another class. Now I just have the final production for my student magazine this weekend, my actual defense on Tuesday, a (probably easy) final in about 10 days, and a final paper on the 11th and I am DONE. Take that, undergraduate career! Soon I will have time for actually talking to people! And reading things on the internet! And sleeping! Ahahahahaha!

I've signed up for remix madness after seeing a bunch of people on my flist talking about it - I don't know if I'll get time to do anything for it, since I'm still working on edits for my assigned remix, but there is my sign-up in case I either have time or someone actually wants to remix me.

In other news, I sent in the first draft of my thesis and am now waiting on edits and getting ready to do a presentation and then my defense. In between getting ready for an exam, a paper, and another presentation in the next week. I'm just going to be quiet for a little longer, haha.
