5 –If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?

Generally if I get the feeling a character should be in a story, I write them in. But generally I only write about a couple of people at a time, and I don't really do long plot-driven stuff, so if I'm writing about someone, it's because I got the idea for them.

I don't really plan things out, I usually just go with what feels right. Out of the ~200 fanfiction stories I've written, maybe ten of them had outlines or plans before I started writing them. But most of what I write is shameless porn, so it doesn't really take a lot of planning.

I am not sure how I feel about True Blood. I don't feel impressed, that much I am sure about.

Julia and I are on the last disc of season 4 of Venture Brothers now. It always makes me sad to come to the end, even though I know I can just go back and rewatch it again.

Tomorrow I am going to record podfic. That is the only thing I have planned, and I need to do it. I am not allowed to watch the new episode of Weeds until I finish the story for taliatoennien. And once I do that, I can start doing stories for fun again. I am going to record some Charles/Erik fic, because that is how I participate in fandom any more, and I love XFC sufficiently that I should be participating in an active way and not just reading all the fanfic.

On the bright side, my sleeping pill is actually kicking in tonight, so... good night world.

The Tubeys are taking votes over at Television Without Pity... and I was completely shocked that The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch were an option under Best Romantic Relationship. CLICK. They also have a category for best HoYay pairing... Sherlock and John, CLICK. I am kind of disappointed by some of their options for Worst Romantic Relationship, but whatever. I think the hardest one for me to choose was Most Likable Geek... I LOVE ALL THE GEEKS, HOW CAN YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE.

So anyway you should all go vote, because it's good to make your opinion known in things like this.

SO ADORBS. A compilation of McAvoy and Fassbender interviews set to Goodnight and Go by Imogen Heap. SO MUCH LAUGHING, SO MANY SMILES, MY HEART GREW THREE SIZES.

I will be doing that First Class recs list at some point this week. The longer I wait to do it, the more things will end up on it...

I really need to stop fucking around with fanmixes and get to recording, though.

Today, one of the most sadistic people I know introduced me to My Little Pony porn.

Apparently instead of "fapping", it's "clopping".

WHAT THE SWEET FANCY HELL ARE THESE BRONIES EVEN DOING

BRAIN BLEACH PLEASE

I'm always up for a round of the shuffle meme. Yoinked from karaokegal:

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line or two from the first 15 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own!

Top Five Things Meme: in which you ask me what my top five is (top five favorite bands, shows, ships, songs, celebrity crushes, flavors of ice cream, what ever you wanna know about me) and I respond with explanations and/or minipicspams.

Get me with this tonight, because tomorrow I'm leaving for Plattsburgh and then I'm going to New Bedford and my internet access will be sporadic until I get home on the 9th.
