Mischief Managed

So I have more new fandoms/obsessions.

I've started watching House. I still have no clue why I didn't watch it while it was on. I adore Hugh Laurie so I knew I'd like it, if for no other reason than I'd get to stare at him. :) I've been streaming it on Netflix and am about halfway through season 4. Did I mention I adore Hugh Laurie? He's gorgeous and I love him and now I want to watch Blackadder and Jeeves & Wooster and A Bit of Fry & Laurie. *sigh*

I've also been rabidly watching everything Tom Hughes has done. I watched The Game on BBC America a couple months ago and immediately became obsessed with him. So I've been watching things like London Hospital, Silk, Dancing on the Edge and a bunch of other stuff. I must admit it's odd having a crush on someone that's actually younger than me.

I'm enjoying the Fandom Snowflake Challenge, it's proven to be quite an interesting experience. I am ready for this round of landofart to be done though. I'm quickly running out of inspiration for graphics. I've begun waiting until just before challenges are due to get them done. Luckily I think there's only a few challenges left before then end of the round. I've been asked to create banners for some BtVS/AtS fic and I'd much rather be doing that.

Day 8

In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are.


Like most people, I'm not really comfortable with posting this, but as that's the whole point of the challenge, here it is.

Day 6

In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something.


I've been wanting an excuse to make new wallpapers for my phone, but all my graphics making time has been spent working on various challenges lately.

Day Four


Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them.

It doesn't have to be anything complex - it can be feedback for a fanwork or discussing something you might have in common or even simply admiring their icon. The point is to reach out to someone you normally wouldn't and connect with them, even if it's only for the briefest moment.


So, I'm counting this one done, since I've been commenting on all the Twinmas posts on hptwinsmut and I've interacted with a couple people from the Snowflake challenge that I've never talked to before.

Well, the week went fairly smoothly with 1 minor and 1 major hiccup.

I got sick Tuesday night and felt like crap on Christmas Eve, but we still had a lovely time at my BF's mom's house. Then we did Christmas at our house on Christmas Day, still didn't feel great but was a bit better. I got a bunch of fandom related gifts!!!! A Doctor Who Tardis throw(blanket), a Harry Potter Mischief Managed tee shirt, a Harry Potter Deathly Hallows necklace, Harry Potter Dark Mark stick on tattoos, the Joss Whendon biography (Nathan Fillon wrote the Forward), Jayne's Intelligence Review: The Royal Manticoran Navy and Jayne's Intelligence Review #2: The People's Navy . I also got a couple gift cards and shweatshirts and tee shirts and such. XD

I'm still a bit sick. Now instead of being sore and having a fever I'm sneezing and have itchy watery eyes. Ugh! I've taken an allergy pill and it seems to be helping a bit. YAY!

The major issue was our car. It went to the mechanic on Tuesday and the sway bar was sheared off (no clue how that happened), the CV axle needed replacing and it has to go back in Monday morning and have one of the brake hoses replaced because it's on the verge of bursting.

Being sick has also made me fall behind on doing graphics for landofart and the two entries I need to do for hptwinsmut, one of which has to be posted tomorrow! EEP! I shall work on that one tonight.

I also want to thank kitty_fic for the adorable Christmas card and dragon userhead and angelus2hot for the year of paid account and extra userpics!!! ♥♥♥

OMG! I'm feeling a bit overwhelemed with the amout of stuff I need to be reading!

hp_sexstars started posting today; interhouse_fest, hermione_smut, hp_crossgenfest and luciusbigbang are all posting as well. A few days ago I got the irresistable urge to re-read batsutousai's Abandon/Reclaim, which of course reminds me that she just finished posting Stand Against the Moon, that I've yet to read and I have a dozen or so fics on my kindle that I haven't read yet.

And I must mention that the first 2 hermione_smut enteries are crossovers with MCU and Doctor Who!!!

This doesn't even cover all the lovely stuff that was posted in October that I haven't had a chance to read yet either, or the books that I'm behind on. I have Written in my Own Heart's Blood (Outlander), Skin Game (Dresden Files), A Shiver of Light (Merry Gentry) and A Call to Duty (Honorverse).

This year was ... odd. We normally get 2 large bags of candy from Costco/Sam's Club and end up giving most of it away. This year we had a total of 20 kids. We had at least double that last year when it was raining! Plus it was a Friday, no school the next day, so we thought we'd have tons of kids!

What's even weirder, none of the kids were really dressed up. Most of them either had a bit of face make up smeared on (but as no recognizable character or pattern) or had a Jason Mask with make up splotches on it.

We're slightly confused.

I did manage to get 7 of the new dragon eggs on Dragon Cave, plus made a Zombie, so I'm quite happy about that.

None of these are Harry Potter fics! :) They are all crossovers and from a myrid of fandoms.

( Seven fics this time ... )
