Mischief Managed

These are all WIP's and all of them can be considered abandoned at this point. However, they are still really good stories and deserve some recognition. Obviously I love them or I wouldn't be recommending them.

They are also some of the longest fics I have ever read!

( 5 recs this time )

So, in my effort to become more active on LJ I have rejoined landofart, which means my graphics comm will be getting some use again. :)

My migraines are limiting the amount of tv I can watch, so I haven't really started many new shows this year and I cut back on some of the older shows as well. Even with that however, the list of what I'm watching is a bit unmanageable. *g*
( The list and my thoughts on the shows )

I've decided to give this a try. I'll be posting recs for fics that, for one reason or another, aren't on my HP rec list. Including at least 1 post dedicated to seemigly abandonded WIP's. I'll try for 1-2 posts per week with 2-3+ recs per post. I'll also try to slip in at least 1 post of fic for something other than Harry Potter, but really it's been well over a year since I've read anything else. Oops.

A list of prompts I'd love to see turned into fic. I have left some of these prompts at various fests, a couple have been used but I always love to see the different ways authors choose to interpret them. XD

So, I posted a prompt over at hp_darkarts for the Taboo Kink prompt fest and it's been filled!!!

Dreams by tiraen (Harry/Voldemort ; PG-13) After seeing Harry's erotic dreams, Voldemort decides to make them come true. [Taboo Kink: Rape Fantasy/Bloodplay]


I also wanted to rec a hilarious crack!fic

Truth or Dare? by TheFatalIllusion (PG-15)
When unusual circumstances leave the Dark Lord, Lucius and Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and finally Harry Potter trapped together, unable to use their magic, what will happen when Harry suggests the innocent game of Truth or Dare?
Warnings: Crack!fic, Stupidity, Ron Bashing, Dumbledore bashing, slight Ginny bashing, OOCness, Extreme Silliness, Slash (snogging), Het (snogging), pranks, Embarrassing/Humiliating revelations, Hilarity
Note: Re Warnings, this is a game of Truth or Dare the questions and dares are meant to be difficult and embarrassing. That's the whole point of the game.


Both of these will likely make it in to my HP Rec List eventually.

*pokes flist* Is anyone there... ;p

So, the recent posts over at lj_feedback are giving me a little bit of hope that LJ may become user friendly again. I won't hold my breath, but we shall see.

In other news...

I've recently bought a Roku 3 and am watching shows I never got around to. Most notably, Sherlock. XD Yes, I have finally succumbed. Since I also watch Elementary and I adore the RDJ movies I can't help but compare and contrast the three different versions. There are things I love about all three and each have things I dislike as well. I absolutely love the interactions between Sherlock and John (no surprise there, really), Mrs. Hudson is adorable and a love Molly. Watching Benedict's portrayal of Sherlock is fascinating, I can't help but think he'd make a brilliant Tom Riddle (ah, and here's my current HP obsession rearing it's head). Then there's Moriarty. *sigh* I hate him in Sherlock (*ducks and runs for cover*), but no, seriously he comes off more as a petulant child that anything else and I just can't stand it. But aside from that I do actually rather like the show. ;)

My fanfiction reading are almost completely devoted to Harry Potter and have been for awhile. That  may change once Doctor Who starts up again, but more likely not. As my previous comment suggests, my current fic obsession is Tom Riddle, Voldemort to a lesser degree, I prefer him as Tom. So I've been scrounging around for every Tom/Harry and/or Tom/Hermione fic I can find as well as Gen fic where Tom is friends with either of them or where one of them raises him as their own or some other similar scenario. Yes, Yes, I know I'm very odd. But if you do happen to know of any fics like that, I'd love to know about them, although I have found quite a few on my own.

I don't really go to the movie thater much anymore because it aggravates my migraines, so I tent to hold back and only go see the Superhero movies. XD I saw 'X-Men Days of Future Past' and absolutely loved it!!! I also went to the David Tennant Fathom Event 2 weeks ago, because I can't turn down a chance to watch Doctor Who on the Big Screen. The only other 2 movies I've seen in the past few months are Captain America: Winter Soldier and Veronica Mars. Both of which I loved.

We had to put or dog (Bailey) to sleep in February and I'm still not really over it and I don't like talking about it.

Oh!! Since flagfic went down I've had to cave in and download Calibre and actually learn how to use it, sort of. *sigh* I'll be extremely happy if flagfic actually comes back, not that it will help for fanfiction.net. I don't like that Calibre automatically downloads in ePub format, although I do like that I can see the fic summary at a glace without having to open the file. I still don't know how to use it to organise all the fics I have downloaded, it took me long enough to figure out how to download things and convert them to mobi files. :(

My eyes are telling me it's time to get off the computer before I get a headache... *sigh* I have been peeking in at my flist occasionally, so you may start seeing me around a bit more. :)

I haven't spent much time on LJ for quite awhile, but I wanted to do a quick-ish update and let everyone know what's been going on lately.

Before I forget, I want to say thanks to those of you that wished me a Happy Birthday. ;)

My main reason for abandoning LJ is basically still there, I feel out of place and a bit uncomfortable within my various fandoms and since I think of LJ as mainly a fandom playground I've just stayed away. I also haven't really been moved to make graphics lately so I've not even had that as a reason to post. However, should anyone want graphics from me, don't hesitate to ask. I was recently reminded by kitty_fic that I do actually enjoy making them. I also wouldn't be adverse to a bit of poking if anyone sees something they think I'd really enjoy. Pointing out new fic I've probably missed would be cool too, my fandoms and pairings are still listed in a sticky post at the top of my journal.

Now on to a more personal and immediate issue. On August 17th I woke up with a sharp pain in my back ha felt like a possible pinched nerve. Then a week later it got really bad and I went to the hospital. They, unhelpfully, said it was probably just a sprained muscle and sent me home with Percocet. This past Friday I finally had an MRI. It turns out that I have a very bad herniated disc between my C6 & C7 vertebrae, which is pushing against a nerve. I'm scheduled for surgery Monday morning. Needless to say I probably won't be online much after this weekend, a least for a week or two. However, I am checking Twitter regularly from my phone so I'll see any messages sent to me there. :)

Well, I've just about hit the limit of my typing ability before my back and shoulder start to complain so, ttfn. ;p

...and some are ending.

Here's what I'm going to be watching

Oh, and my boyfriend just bought the box set of Farscape so we will be watching it soon as well. (I've not seen it - NO SPOILERS PLEASE).
