back to life

Seen around the flist:

1. Pick a pairing or a character
2. Ask me my particular headcanon regarding something about them
3. Post to your journal to share your own headcanon!

Earlier on Twitter:

@bedlamsbard: Some stuff always triggers my Narnia random academia stuff hindbrain. Now thinking of famous Narnian paintings.

@snacky: I misread that as "famous Narnian pairings" started thinking of stories of famous Narnian lovers in epic poetry, plays & song.

@bedlamsbard: Heh! Gosh, I can't even begin to think of famous Narnian pairings. Edmund and his mistresses. Caspian and the Star's Daughter.

@snacky: One of the Narnian's bards' favorites: The Tale of the High King and Seven Would-be Wives. :D

@bedlamsbard: And the romance that no one ever talks about: Caspian the Conqueror and his Narnian wife.

@bedlamsbard: A famous Narnian painting about a pairing! King Edmund sitting in the throne room, listening to a suit but looking at his mistress.

@snacky: Or Caspian and the Star's Daughter on their wedding night, with the stars shining down on them.

( More famous Narnian paintings! )

The reveals for the Narnia Fic Exchange are up!

First, I received Suffer A Sea Change, a post-Dawn Treader-movie fic, with Liliandil explaining her quest to Gael. It was written for me by the lovely animus_wyrmis.

Second, I wrote Sing Down The Stars for edenfalling.

( Thoughts on that back here... )

Last night on Twitter, wingedflight21 tweeted:

@WingedFlight: I enjoy introducing friends to the joys of fandom through sex shenanegains. @accidentalsquid

Then I saw this tweet:

@accidentalsquid: @snacky So, @WingedFlight just told me that Peter got laid. Also, something about porpoises. Say it ain't so?

@snacky: I believe Peter getting laid is still being written. Meanwhile Susan did get laid, and Edmund thought he heard porpoises.

@accidentalsquid: @snacky And that was what you missed last time on Glee!


Madness ensues... ( behind the cut. )

I suspect I should be embarrassed. But, as musesfool always says, "we make our own fun."

( Welcome to the Flaming Mountain of Lagour... )

Yes, I have made more A Softer World/Narnia remixes. Me + Photoshop = TLF! :D





( And even more back here! )

More a softer world remixes. John says I am adorkable, but I am having fun with these! :D

( A Softer Narnia... )

I made two fanmixes for halfamoon 2011, inspired by two of my favorites, Susan and Lucy Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia.






More about the mixes, artwork, track listings, and zip download here.

Yeah, I know everyone else did this a few days ago, but I've been busy with real life and sick. Also I had to watch the complete miniseries of The Stand yesterday.

So, for Yuletide I wrote A Game of You for gyzym. The fandom was The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin.

( A little meta back here.. )

I have to thank rthstewart and crantz/crantz for their excellent beta, and crantz/crantz made all the graphics for me. And since I am always title-challenged, I have to thank musesfool for the title. ;)

*************

Also, for the NFFR Secret Santa Exchange, I wrote The Riddle of the Sphinx, Narnia fic for wingedflight21, from this prompt:

I'll just list a ton of stuff I love and you can pick and choose: Snarky Edmund, Susan in battle, Lucy in trousers, mythical creatures not often found in Narnia fic, Eustace post-dragon, darker AU (not necessarily meaning "everything turns out worse AU", just "everything involves a lot of hard decisions and potential angst AU"), consumption of (too much) wine, down the rabbit hole, the treasure chamber of Cair Paravel, Jill and Eustace relationship (not necessarily romantic) directly before the train wreck.

If you like crossovers, other fandoms I would love to see crossed over with Narnia are Doctor Who and Swallows and Amazons.

So that was a great prompt, with lots of stuff to choose from. Originally I had considered a darker AU of The Silver Chair, but then it seemed a little too dark for a holiday fic (although I'll probably write that someday), so in the end I went with Snarky Edmund, Lucy in trousers, mythical creatures not often found in Narnia fic, consumption of (too much) wine.

I amused myself writing it, because Edmund's always a fun character, but am never sure if the things I think are funny make anyone else laugh. ;)

Again, I have to thank rthstewart and crantz/crantz for their excellent beta. This one I titled myself, though, as you can probably tell. :D

1) Yuletide fic is done! Finished, betaed, titled (*g*) and uploaded. HUZZAH! I am ridiculously nervous over it, but at least I am done.

2) Now on to the next fic exchange - I've got a NFFR Secret Santa due. *collapse*

3) Christmas presents are mostly bought. I've got a few more to get on Monday (I am hoping there will be less of a crowd at the stores since many people will still be working. *sob*), and then I will be done. YAY!

4) Then I have to start wrapping gifts. BOO!

5) My grandparents are still not going to the home. My grandmother wants to go, but doesn't want people looking at their taxes ("It's my money! Why do they need to know about it?!") and my grandfather doesn't want to go at all ("I won't be RAILROADED!"), until the next time my grandmother gets sick of course, and he starts crying about how it's all too much, he can't handle it, it's not fair because everyone goes home and he has to take care of her. Then she starts feeling better and he forgets he ever said any of that.

They called my mother today to tell her the power was out at their house. My mother told them to call Rick.

6) Started baking Christmas cookies yesterday, and hopefully will get the rest done tonight. All the peanut brittle is made, and that just leaves the baklava.

7) I also have to make the traditional family pate, which takes forever, and means a special shopping trip. But that'll be later in the week, since you don't want to make pate too early.

8) And I am thinking of Christmas ice cream. Peppermint stick or eggnog? Or both? What do you think?

9) I have seen Voyage of the Dawn Treader again. I still think it's better in 2-D. I still think it's not as good as the first two movies. But it has some beautiful scenes and some really nice moments, and Will Poulter as Eustace is still a delight. I also rewatched LWW and PC and ( spoiler, I guess... )

10) I've been so focused on Yuletide that I haven't been reading fics or leaving feedback, so I am planning to spend the afternoon doing that. Oh, what a chore. ;)
