| Fic: Take The Edge Off (One Direction, OT5, Explicit, 17k) |
[May. 18th, 2012|05:08 am] |
So, it's my birthday today! A few years ago in bandom I posted a story on my birthday, and it was really awesome to get comments that day (like presents!) so I thought I would try that this year. Um, except then I had a lot of feelings so this ended up super long. Loudest of love to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) gigantic, who has leant her time and home to let me hang around and write this and read bits out loud to her these past few weeks, and then let me come over tonight and stay until literally 3:30 in the morning so I could finish it and she could read it along the way and tell me it was good. Thank you also to violentfires for encouragement along the way, and the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.1) 3point5seats girls who looked forward to reading this, and have been there as we all fell down this rabbit hole together. ♥ Hope you all enjoy.

( Spoilers for tonight's episode of Gossip Girl. )
Anyway, so those are my feelings on that. My birthday's this Friday (the 18th!) and I have Big Plans to finish this One Direction fic and post it that day, so I'm going to go work some more on that now.
In the meantime, if you're looking for a good alcoholic beverage, lately I've found that mixing Bolthouse Farms Vanilla Chai Tea (basically this is flavored soy milk) with flavored vodka creates some real magic. So far I've tried it with coconut vodka and whipped cream vodka. Basically the chai has enough going on nutrient-wise that you can't really get a hangover. It's great. ( Spoilers for Gossip Girl. ) |

UGH YES OKAY I'VE FALLEN VICTIM TO ONE DIRECTION FANDOM. This is not surprising if you follow me on Tumblr, which is where I spend most of my days, chillin' out maxin' and relaxin' all cool and reblogging pictures of Harry Styles being a perfect human being etc. I really thought my Sherlock fannishness would stick around but it's hard to focus when new canon only comes every year and a half and nobody is canonically eighteen. God RPF, I might experiment with media fandoms, but you know I always come back to you!
So far 1D fandom seems to be sort of a rabbit hole that people fall into and then end up looking into things and finding fic and primers and pics and feelings (everywhere feelings!!!) but in case you haven't done that and you want to here are some recommendations for ways to get up on this action:
• Really big impressive primer from someone who's been in the fandom since the XF days
• Mostly Harry/Louis-centric primer which is cool because OTP
• Why Everyone Should Ship Larry I'm pretty sure this is the post that won me over to this fandom
• Harry Styles and his weirdo jealousy by weirdo I do kind of mean amazing
• A big collection of lots of older Harry/Louis pics and moments in case you were getting too much air and wanted to drown yourself in feels
• Harry/Louis .gif collection wheeee
• f a b u l o u s OT5 .gif collection post! like this is literally the cuddliest band I can't???
• another awesome Harry/Louis quote/gif collection because do you have something better to do with your time than look at them NOPE YOU DON'T
• More Harry/Louis primer-ness heyo
• Why You Should Ship Ziam holla at my secondary OTP
• Never enough jealous!Harry analysis tbh
And some of my personal favorite Harry/Louis canon. Let's all play a game called "Explain These Actions With A Conclusion Other Than That They're Dating":
Sugarscape interviews Niall: and Niall the purple-hoodied Irish Easter egg is adorable, but the point of this clip is how at 3:18 (turn your speakers up), off-camera and (probably?) not aware that they're audible, Harry says "Louis, can I give you a blowjob?" and Louis answers "I'd love for you to, just wait." Audio isolated here. Niall hears it and looks over and laughs, while everyone else on planet Earth tries to figure out how exactly Harry could be joking.
Musique Plus interview: Usually in interviews, virtually whenever they're asked what they look for in a girl, Harry wins at the Pronoun Game by invariably answering with what he looks for in a person (here's a favorite, I like this one too). In this case he actually says "it helps if you can hold a conversation with him." Audio isolated here (along with a .gif of his face!) if you want to dwell on it. But yo he definitely is talking about what he looks for in a dude.
One Direction after the Brits: They're asked what artist at the show they'd snog and at 1:50 Harry says he'd definitely snog Adele, then glances at Louis, who's gone all crabby, and then tells him "sorry," which I guess is a normal apology to give to a platonic friend NOPE JUST KIDDING IT ISN'T.
Given the pretty extensive canon this fandom doesn't have the backlog of fic necessary to meet my needs (everything: is all about me) but one_d_fanwork seems to be posting at a good clip and I'm hoping that more folks will start putting their stuff up on AO3. It seems like a good number of people post their fic to Tumblr which currently is one of those situations that makes me all BACK IN MY DAY WE HAD TO WALK UPHILL BOTH WAYS JUST TO FIND A YAHOOGROUP and also it usually tends to be a formatting disaster (like srsly your shit better be like super pornographic dirty talk gangbang fic if I'm expected to deal with tiny green text in a three inch column on a dark green background or whatever the fuck) so I haven't read much that isn't posted on LJ. I'm a hopeless reccer (usual feelings on a fic I liked a lot: it was hot \o/) but here are some stories I've enjoyed recently anyway: ( Recs ahoy! Mostly Harry/Louis, some OT5. )
Okay that's my post! Really I'm just trying to prepare anyone who stills reads this journal for the coming onslaught of 1D fic I'm going to be writing. I'm excerpting at Tumblr if you'd like to jump in. Come party with me. LET'S TALK ABOUT HARRY STYLES. |

( A whole lotta feelings about Gossip Girl, y'all. )
I've seen three shows in the past week, which is way more than I usually see because I've been having a run of bad luck lately when I get into a band and then I'm like I'll go see them!! and then they're like "lol nope because we're not touring right now/only playing in Europe/based in New Zealand (*slants a look in The Naked and Famous' direction*)/going into the studio for eight years and then TALKING ABOUT MOVING IN A SLEIGH BELLS-Y DIRECTION BECAUSE YOU SPECIFICALLY WANT ME TO DIE, TEGAN BE MY GIRLFRIEND QUIN" so anyway, yeah, haven't been going to as many shows as I'd like. But then last Tuesday I went to see Sleigh Bells at the Mayan with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/user_ontd.gif?v=92.1) molokomolotov, and then on Thursday I won tickets to see DEV at a club that was actually right next door to the Mayan, weirdly, and took clarkward with me, and then Jessa and I saw JJAMZ at the Satellite tonight, so, cut tag I guess: ( Concert reviews/chatter - Sleigh Bells, DEV, JJAMZ. )
That's a lot of text I just wrote behind those cut tags. What else? park_hye_in is coming tomorrow (I met her through this LJ about seven years ago! whattt), and we're going to eat all the tacos in Los Angeles (well, she is), and Georgina and Serena it UP, and she's not bringing clothes so I'm going to dress her up like a paper doll all week long, and then on Friday we're having a party. Probably we'll also go to a museum and Venice Beach, for which I bought an obnoxious sequined tank top.
I saw This Means War, which is just about the gayest thing that ever happened. It made me find Tom Hardy attractive, which is the WEIRDEST thing that's ever happened, because I've had issues with his face for awhile but idk I guess he's kind of charming? Anyway, I actually really like McG and always have, he has a great aesthetic. I think I like things with really bright colors because I have sort of bad eyesight. I used to watch CSI:Miami as well, which is a very, very vividly colored show. I respond well to really blue skies. Also, fuck, Chris Pine is amazingly attractive. Also, fuck fuck, the new Star Trek is filming in town, so where can I find Benedict Cumberbatch? Tonight Jessa discussed the relative cuteness of the children we could have with him, but of course in order for that to happen we have to happen to run into him wherever he is, so that he can fall in love with me, and no one need ever mention the porn I have written about him. Jessa kindly conceded that she would hand over Martin Freeman if such a situation ever came up, but I might have to fight her on Benedict.
Other than that, according to my still-open Chrome tabs, this week I have been doing the following: reading reams of Dean/Castiel porn (important: do you have any recs? I have only plumbed AO3's highest hit counts, because I'm not in SPN fandom at all and in fact don't even watch it beyond looking at gifs on Tumblr and thinking to myself that I would read porn about a virgin angel played by Misha Collins and then...doing that), listening to old Hush Sound tracks (what up, So Sudden!), poking at OKCupid, reading John/Sherlock fic, putting off reading very long John/Sherlock fic, going to tea websites and adding lots of teas to my shopping cart and then not buying them because I have enough tea (but I want moooore), and looking at Dair gifs ALL THE LIVE-LONG DAY. A pretty good time, frankly. |

| Fic: Demons (Vampire Diaries, Elena/Rebekah, explicit) |
[Feb. 16th, 2012|07:03 pm] |
Real talk though, I just wanted to post today so I could post this before tonight's episode, but it's already done on the east coast so I'm Jossed as hell. Whatever!
Demons
Vampire Diaries
Elena/Rebekah
NC-17, slight dubcon warning
Not my characters, obviously.
Immediate post-ep for 3.14, Dangerous Liaisons.
After sleeping with Damon, Rebekah finds Elena so she can brag. But that's not quite the way things end up going.
( Fuck Elena Gilbert. ) |

Hello old friends! This is addictedkitten, or at least it was until I picked up a rename token and switched it over to cyclogenesis about an hour ago. So, I guess, actually, it’s Sara, but that’s who it’s been all along. Did I mention hello?
I’ve been writing fanfiction again. This is something that I haven’t done on a regular basis since 2009. I got super into BBC Sherlock, and started reading a lot and having a lot of ideas, and starting a lot of things and then quailing at the self-imposed pressure and decided to just do something real simple instead and answer a few prompts on the Porn Battle instead of trying to write a “story” with “plot” and “character arcs” or whatever. And then, of course, none of those prompts ended up being Sherlock prompts (unless RPF counts, in which case I guess my first Sherlock story is Benedict Cumberbatch/Martin Freeman? uhhhh yep).
I wrote three ficlet things, except one ended up being over 2000 words because what is brevity, and I was posting them at the DW Porn Battle post using the cyclogenesis username I parked over there. I’ve been expressing my fannish interests over at Tumblr for the last few years, where I’m also cyclogenesis. Oh man, this is getting so long-winded. The point is it felt wrong to be writing and only posting on AO3, and I want to have a public fannish journal again, and it made the most sense to switch this one over because it has like eight years worth of fanfiction on it, so here I am.
Life-wise, in the years since I last updated this journal, I have done as follows: a year and three months ago, I moved to Los Angeles. I’ve wanted to move to LA since I was seven years old and my parents moved us from California to Washington. I considered LA for college, I considered it again when I was living in Washington again after school, but decided on Las Vegas instead. It feels really nice to finally be living in the city where I’ve always meant to end up. I’ll be here for the long haul. I live in a rad little apartment across the street from a gorgeous, huge park. I can see the Hollywood sign from the top of my steps, and I can walk to Sunset Boulevard (for example, to my favorite vegan restaurant in Los Angeles, where I am currently sitting and typing this while enjoying a green juice and plate of breads and dips).
I don’t really keep up with bandom things anymore, except for the very far reaches of the tiny LA bands contingent - I go see JJAMZ when they play around here, but that’s about it. I saw The Young Veins a handful of times when they were touring, and that was really great. I miss going to see lots of shows on a tour, so hopefully Tegan & Sara will get it in gear and then ivyenglish and I can go and make a Tegan & Sara & Sara & Sara time of it, and then Tegan will marry one or both of us, and we can call it a happy, happy day. Musically right now I’m super obsessed with Reign of Terror, the new Sleigh Bells album - looking forward to seeing them at the Mayan next week. Also been listening a lot to The Naked and Famous, Company of Thieves, The National, The Donnas, PJ Harvey, and, eternally, Paramore, who seem to be the FBR band I listen to the most in my car. Haha, FBR! You guys, we used to care so much.
My days of dressing ridiculously are certainly coming to a middle: ( These last few weeks I have been obsessed with sequins. )
I’ve put up the stories I’ve written so far here on this journal and backdated them. Here are they are:
Brick - Sherlock RPF, Benedict Cumberbatch/Martin Freeman
The Biggest Scandals of Blair Waldorf’s Week - Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf/Dan Humphrey
Endless Loop - The Runaways, Joan Jett/Cherie Currie
They are all pornographic, because you know how I do. In a little bit I’m going to post another story, in none of those fandoms. What is consistency? I don’t know.
So, anyway, I’m back! If you are still around and want to defriend, please feel free, no hard feelings. My current fandoms/things I’m likely to talk and write fanfiction about in the future are roughly as follows: Gossip Girl (Dan/Blair!), Vampire Diaries (all pairings! All of them!), Sherlock, Sherlock RPF, and whatever else might strike my fancy (I’ve been reading Captain America slash lately. Idk! Sebastian Stan!!). I will also update about my actual life on a somewhat limited basis.
I can be found elsewhere as follows:
cyclogenesis@tumblr
cyclogenesis@ao3 (working on uploading everything here. it is a SLOW AND ANNOYING PROCESS)
cyclogenesis@dreamwidth (I will probably start cross-posting here?)
cyclogenesis@formspring (do people still do formspring? it was A Thing for awhile)
That's it! Hi everyone! |
