Uffish Thought

So, ardentintoxication suggested doing a DVD commentary for Learning Curve. I've always wanted to do one, and because the story is inspired by The Goat's Back universe and I clearly have a lot of feels, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Then it got long. And then inmyriadbits wanted to play. And then it got a little longer. /o\

Also! If you are still here, you are clearly a fan of this 'verse, and should check out Double the Dose by casspeach! Because more SES-verse is always a good idea, and it's got some lovely Clint and Steve and Natasha dialogue. :)

Yuletide! \o! Whoo, assignments! I finally posted my Yuletide letter, and I matched on something that I'm excited about, and I'm about to start doing canon review. Right now it feels like we have so long, though I'm sure the delusion will quickly fade.

Other fannish things:

1) A dude named Derek Wolf is STILL on backorder at the call center where I work. Poor Derek Hale, doomed to never catch a break. Maybe he should have used a better alias.

I am also constantly amused by things like:
-people who live in Waverly, IA
-massage clients who happen to be named Clint
-callers who are named Watson

2) Missed two anniversaries in October: my 9 year LJ-versary, and my 12 year fandom anniversary. Unlike many people, I can actually date it to a specific night: the premiere of Dark Angel on October 3, 2000. I wandered in on the last bit, involving two very pretty people smoking up the screen in leather and a wheelchair respectively, whilst wandering around a dystopian cityscape and kicking ass (all things I am still easy for, btw), and went online to track down a recap of the episode.

I found the recap, and screencaps, and transcripts, and then a forum, and started talking to people who had no idea I was 13 and therefore treated me as the adult I could write like, and then fanfic and friends and Firefly and LJ and the continuing adventures of everything.

Good times.

3) For my reference more than anything, the trope meme ficlets I wrote back in late September, one of which turned into a full story:
(Avengers) Clint/Coulson telepathy not!fic for ignipes
(B13) Damien/Leito secretly-a-virgin speculation for inmyriadbits
(Avengers) All Elbows for neery, Clint/Coulson 'forced to share a bed'

4) Pretty sure I've read all the Clint/Coulson fic at this point. Like, ALL of it. Even the bad stuff. I'm so desperate for decent fic that I've started re-reading my own stories, which is a course of action that can only end in tears, and I've started to lose perspective on what is good, which is making my writing stagnate. Time to step away for a bit. Or try, anyway.

Yuletide review: just the ticket!

So a few months ago, arsenicjade was wanting Clint h/c, and ignipes posted about Steve Rogers: Earth's Mightiest Cuddler, and then this happened. ...Obviously it took me a while to finish. Sorry, y'all! Thanks to inmyriadbits for the beta and ersatzemma for some research help.

Also, I finally managed to title something with Empires lyrics, yay! (....the silent struggles of my life, revealed.)

AU for the end of 28 Weeks Later, because there is no way Coulson would let the zombie apocalypse happen on his watch. Thanks to inmyriadbits for the late night beta.

This is a cleaned-up and slightly expanded version of a commentfic for foxxcub's Avengers Kissing Meme. Before that, it was handwritten in my car and thus made me late to meet katieupsidedown and drunkoffthestars. Sorry, ya'll! The title is a quote from the fake Zen tapes on Life.
