Hell yeah, that's a bingo with two achievements right there. Doesn't it look nice? I like it!

I recorded about 72 minutes of podfic today, and I'm estimating I'll do about 80 minutes tomorrow. I just have to wake up early to do it because my mother will be home in the early afternoon and I always feel less certain about recording filthy things while there are people moving around in the house. It's not so bad when it's just me and my father, because he always stays in the living room, but Rachael interrupted me three times while I was recording the long one today and then the bitch tweeted "my sister is talking to herself... #smh"! I am not talking to myself, damn it! When I talk to myself I say much less dirty things!

Anyways... the really long one I have to record tomorrow is completely innocent, so I can put that one off until later in the afternoon, but I absolutely have to get the plushie kink one done while everyone is out of the house. I'm not even sure I can read it without turning red, but luckily blushing doesn't affect my inflection at all. And the sex toys one will be easy, it's pretty short, I just haven't read femslash since, uh, last Kink Bingo, and that one involved tentacles. Also it's my own story so I'm afraid no one will want to listen to it.

But... I am determined to finish my first bingo tomorrow! I'M GONNA DO IT. There have already been people posting their bingos and they've been writing. I haven't gotten anything written yet, I started the tattoos story but it's really awkward and clumsy and I have to do a lot of work on it before I let anyone see it. Anyways, I'll be able to relax once I've gotten one bingo finished because at least I'll have that much done for certain, even if it takes me all summer to finish another one. I'm not going to have time to do anything when I get back to school, so even though it runs until September 30 I really have to get everything done by like, August 24. So I have a little over two and a half months to finish 19 more squares once I get this done tomorrow. That's something like a square every four days? I can probably do that. And who knows, I might get some massive stroke of inspiration and do a few stories in a week. That would be cool.

I should probably say something about Doctor Who. Uh... I called it? Saw that twist coming. And now I don't want to wait until autumn, I want new episodes next week, damn it! I'm just glad it didn't end on a cliffhanger, that would have killed me.

Now... I should probably go to bed so I can wake up bright and early for more recording hijinks.

I just realized I could finish an entire bingo today if I was determined enough. And not just a bingo, but a bingo that will snag me two achievements.

Somebody tell me I have to discharge my responsibilities before I do fun things...

Eventually I will stop talking about Kink Bingo, I promise. Just... not in the next couple of days.

I decided I'm going to take the second-from-the-right line and go for the text-free achievement, so if anyone has a really good non-penetrating sex toys story or a scars/scar appreciation story, toss a link my way! The stories that have been suggested so far have been fantastic. (Just not scarification, that falls into the category of 'things that make me lightheaded in a bad way to think about'. I have no problem with the sight/thought of my own blood, but other peoples' blood bothers me. Is that weird? It might be weird.)

I figure if worse comes to worst, I can write my own scar appreciation story that also fills another square, have the textual one for the other square and the podfic for the scars square. I mean, you just know Brock Samson is covered with scars, and I already have a couple of squares plotted out for Doc/Brock, it probably wouldn't be that hard to make it work.

So as my plans stand, I'm going for six achievements (bingo in five fandoms, tiny fandom bingo, text-free bingo, rare characters bingo, fat characters bingo, and possibly either moresomes/poly bingo or multi-media bingo), and once I make those I can think about going for a blackout. Out of 25 squares, I only have 7 left to plan something for, and one of those is the wildcard so I can do whatever I please for it.

If I go for the multi-media bingo, I'm probably going to have to do fanart, which is scary because my art is bad and I don't want people to laugh at me. Or I could try to do a picspam/icon set, but nothing is really jumping out at me that would be good for that. I definitely can't do a vid. I might be able to do a recs set, I'd just have to go multifandom with it, but AO3 and Delicious make it pretty easy to find specific things. Yeah, maybe I should do a recs set.

This is really exciting. :D

I have started soliciting permission to record stories for a few of my squares already (tentacles is only ever going to get podfic from me, and I'd really like to do this one Doctor Who suspension story) and I'm probably going to end up reading my own animal play story from last round to fill it this time around. I'm still brainstorming ideas for most of the squares, but I basically have that last line all blocked off to go for those achievements I was talking about.

And part of me is thinking, you know, I haven't finished writing fanfiction in a year, what makes me think I'm going to be able to do a half-dozen stories now? But part of me is thinking this could be really fun. (and a small part of me is saying that it doesn't matter because the number of people who'll read it I can probably count on one hand.)

So anyway... if anyone knows a good furry/plushie kink story I can read, I'm probably not going to be able to come up with anything for that one, which won't actually matter unless I do decide to go for the blackout. And in fact, I'm willing to do any square with podfic, if anyone has a special favorite story they really want me to record, just let me know and I'll ask the author. Unless you're the author and you want me to read your fic, in which case that simplifies the process.

Actually, I should really record those help_japan podfics before I start making plans for Kink Bingo. I'll do at least one of them tomorrow.

OH HELLS YES.

Now this is what I'm talking about.



I could... god, I could do pretty much any line on this card. I could do an X or a +. I COULD GET OVERAMBITIOUS AND GO FOR A BLACKOUT.

And you know what, I could probably actually do a Venture Brothers line and go for a couple of achievements as far as rare fandoms/characters go. Hell, I could focus on 21 and go for the fat character bingo. That last vertical line seems like it would work really well with henchmen. Or the X could work too.

SO PSYCHED ABOUT THIS CARD.

Yeah, it's Kink Bingo time. I will be participating, as I have done for the past two years, but before I even sign up I would like to make a promise to all of you.

Last year I was a complete jackass about my card and I made some people feel bad about their kinks, which is the exact opposite of what Kink Bingo is meant to do, and once it was pointed out to me that I was being an asshole I kind of hated myself for a few days. So I'm not going to complain about my card this year, because it was seriously uncool of me to do that, and I am trying to be a better person. I understand that the stuff that squicks me hardest is the stuff that some people love the most, and I'm sure the reverse is true too.

So I promise not to be a douchebag this year, and if I break the promise, feel free to take me to task about it, because I absolutely do not want to denigrate anyone's kinks or make anyone feel bad about liking the things they like. I'm going to keep my opinions to myself, like I should have done in the first place. And if I get a card that makes me unhappy again this year, I'm going to suck it up and put on my big girl panties and deal with it like a mature human being and not a childish bitch.

I'm sorry again for my behavior last year, I'm really, really sorry to anyone I made feel bad with my thoughtless words, and I'm not going to do it again, I swear.

Also, I may be soliciting assistance in finding appropriate stories to podfic as fills, once I figure out what bingo I want to go for. You all came up with some really fantastic ones for me last year, I hope my line this year will be as interesting.

Although, OOH, they allow original fic this year for the first time, so I may very well fill everything with writing this time around! I haven't finished a piece of fanfiction in almost a full year now, but I've been writing original fic pretty steadily, and I have a much easier time handling my own characters now. (Which isn't to say I don't miss the days when I was pumping out 30K of Heroes fic in a month, but I haven't been seriously inspired for a fandom since the Star Trek movie came out, which is kind of sad.)

THAT LOOKS LIKE A BINGO TO ME

Thank you to all the lovely people who allowed me to podfic their stories, I couldn't have done it without you-- really I couldn't!

\o/

With my muse on strike, the only hope I have of completing a bingo for Kink Bingo is podfic. I've already got three out of five done (two podfics and a story that doesn't even have porn in it, what a cop-out I am), so now I need assistance from my ever-wise friendslist:

Please recommend me stories involving silence or holding someone down. Any fandom, any pairing, any rating, give me all the recs you've got.

I know I've read a good Holmes story dealing with silence as a kink, I just can't for the life of me find it again. (And if I had any inspiration at all, I believe I told schonste that I'd write one set during Charles Augustus Milverton, or rather the Master Blackmailer since I wanted to write specifically for Russian Holmes... man, I wish I could come through with that. Not just silence, but black silk masks? Mm.) Holding someone down isn't hard to find as an incidental thing, but it's not so easy to find it as a featuring kink.

I don't want to have to cheat and use the kink bingo tags to find someone else's story to record, but I guess I'll do what I have to to get this bingo.

And I had such plans when I got this card... plans to finish it immediately and get a new one, given, but plans nonetheless!


Anyways I have plenty of podfics to work on already, I got permission to do Rubicon six days ago and I haven't even begun it, plus irisbleufic just gave me permission today to do her fantastic Sherlock story Only Human. That's at least a good solid hour and fifteen minutes of recording right there, plus that much again for editing.

Plus I want to do podbang, if I have enough time before school starts (I probably won't though), and I've already signed up for podremix.

At least I don't have to pack ALL my stuff away, my mother told me that my father was being ridiculous and of course I didn't have to put all my stuff in the basement. Which would have been nice to know before I packed up all my favorite books, I would have packed up the stuff I care less about and left out the good stuff. Anyway I still have to pick out what I'm bringing with me. Tomorrow I sort through my DVD tower for my favorites. I already know I'm going to show Emi The Princess Bride, lol.

Time for bed now. Even though I'm not tired. Putting the computer aside, at least.

I have my first square for Kink Bingo filled in!

A picspam of catgirls and other animal-girls. Art and photographs.

I hope it qualifies despite not being tied to a specific fandom. The only fandom I could think of with catgirls was Di Gi Charat, and the characters in that are like twelve years old. Cute, but not cool for a kink bingo fill.

Next up, I tackle the possession/marking fic.

I liked the music on Glee tonight more than I liked the story... and I didn't really like the music all that much. Next week is the finale, hopefully it'll be stepped up from this week. I'm stoked that Lie To Me is coming back on Monday, though!

I kind of wish I could use original characters for Kink Bingo, because I could totally go wild with a couple of these things with Dewey and Parker. Not for credit, though, alas.

I have three potential bingos, here are my ideas:

( prone to sudden revision )

If anyone has a lead on stories that I can podfic to fulfill any of these, please do point me in the right direction, I'm more than willing to do as many of these as I can as podfics of other people's kinky fic. (that means if you've written a caning fic, or a wet and messy fic, or a blades fic, or anything, please let me read your fic! xD)

Is it taking the weasel way to just use other people's stories to get my bingo done? I mean, most people appreciate having podfic done, right? It's a legitimate fill and it makes more than one person happy... I should probably be focusing on my Sweet Charity podfics first though. uh. >.>

Goddammit, I got like the worst possible bingo card I could have gotten.

( ugh. )

There is literally not a single line that doesn't contain something I am disgusted by. The worst line of all is the second from the top, but every single one has something that makes me go "ew."

:(

Okay, here is the card with everything that squicks me crossed out:
( fixed. not really. )
