Inspired by elspethdixon and others, I've decided to make an index of my fics, forward-dated to be at the top of my journal. This isn't everything I've written since entering fandom in 2002, but it's most of it!

Note: This list doesn't include HP drabbles (there are too many!), any filks, or any theatrical_muse prompt responses that weren't cross-posted to this journal as ficlets.

My first Merlin ficlet! Written for this round of the Porn Battle. (...Yes. Apparently I write PG Porn. Just like James Gunn!)

Title: Trousers First
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing Arthur/Merlin
Word Count: 1170
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: Smooth

( Trousers First )

Because I know some of you might be interested, I just listed the X-Men bag on our DAME Creations Etsy shop. The bag features Jim Lee art, with the following characters on it: Professor Xavier, Jean Grey, Archangel, Bishop, Storm, Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Beast, and Rogue.

My mom made it, and I'm kind of in love with it. I'd love to see it go to one of you guys. :D

The listing is here, and feel free to pimp if you think any of your friends would like it. We're going to be featured in the Bags & Purses showcase tomorrow, so we've got some stuff on sale, and a bunch of bags listed right now. Some of the fandoms we've got up are: Transformers, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Star Trek: TOS (another bag I LOVE), My Little Pony, and Smurfs. So, some cool stuff.

Susan Boyle is my hero today. She's 47, lives with her ten-year-old cat, and has never been kissed. She doesn't look like the sort of person who would wow judges on reality TV, even on singing shows, where, somehow, the ones who end up in the final rounds are almost always pretty.

Play the video, and listen to her sing. Susan Boyle is absolutely beautiful.

(...Is it fanart if it's a craft?) As of tonight, doll!Kakashi is finished! His vest and headband tie with doll!Zoe's hair for bits of dolls that have made me swear a lot. But I think they turned out all right, and I'm really proud of him. Not so much proud of the fact that I took his headband off during the photo session and then put it on upside-down for the remainder of the pics. *headdesk*

So, here's the finished Hatake Kakashi, formerly a vintage Rainbow Brite. (Actually, the head is Rainbow Brite, and the body is Red Butler.) He's about 11" tall.

I love vidding. ...Right up until I export the uncompressed AVI file from Premiere, that is. Then, without fail, I start wanting to tear my hair out and getting a little homicidal. Every. Single. Time. I try to remember which tutorial I followed last time, or--if I tried multiple times before lucking into a solution--try to remember which one actually worked, for me. I've tried screaming, praying, begging the damn thing just to magically get smaller somehow, doing a little dance, you name it. And then I tried to vid on our new computer that has Windows Vista, and I'm sure any Vista user can imagine just how well that worked.

Until last night, when I finally gave up on trying to figure out what worked last time and started experimenting. And I lucked out and found a method that is really easy, really fast, and is Vista-compatible. I don't know if it's the right way, or even a good way, but it worked for me and turned a 2GB uncompressed AVI with uncompressed WAV sound into a 26MB DivX AVI with MP3 without noticeable (to me) loss of quality.

If, like me, you finish making your vid and just want to get it out there somehow, anyhow, in some kind of reasonable size and format, this might be worth a shot. This is a compression/encoding method for those of us who hate that sort of thing.

I put myself in endofhistory's love meme, right over here. <3

I'm co-running it; I have to pimp it! *g*

rabidfangurl and I decided to do a second round of skywalkathon: The Skywalker Ficathon.

Last year's fest produced some really fantastic stories, and we're excited about running another round, especially since we're hoping that the release of The Clone Wars will revive interest in the fandom.

So, if you're in the mood to read some Anakin/Obi-Wan, or genfic about Shmi, or Vader/Yoda, or Luke/Leia/Han, OT or PT or intertrilogy or AU...come on over! Signups are open through August 31st, assignments will be mailed out by September 7th, and then fics are due anytime before October 31st.

The signup post is here over on skywalkathon. And even if you don't think you want to play, please feel free to mention this ficathon in your LJ if you think some of your friends might be interested!

Just a last-minute pimp for my auction over at livelongnmarry, the fandom fundraiser supporting marriage equality. My offer is to write a fanfic of at least 1500 words, and bidding is currently at $60.

Bidding ends tonight (well, technically tomorrow morning) at 12:01 AM PST!

There are some fantastic auctions over on the community--handmade goods, vids, phone calls, baked goods, candy, soap, fanfic, original fic, you name it!--and I highly suggest checking the community out and bidding on some of these awesome goodies if you haven't yet!

...For a good cause.

I just put up a post offering fanfiction of at least 1500 words to the highest bidder over on livelongnmarry, a fandom fundraiser supporting marriage equality.

My post is here, and I've offered to write in the following fandoms: Star Wars, Daredevil, Dark Angel, X-Men Movieverse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, and Friday Night Lights.

So, if you'd like me to write a fic just for you? Go forth and bid!

Posting this for jedinemo! (Also, because I've been looking for it for awhile and want to add it to my fic index.)

Title: The Chamber
Fandom: Star Wars
Pairing: Darth Vader/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Note: Parody of "The Raven," originally written for a challenge imadra_blue was running, but I can't remember which one! (Valentine's Day, maybe?) ETA: This was written several years ago, and in retrospect...eek. *facepalm*
Disclaimer: I am neither George Lucas nor Edgar Allan Poe, alas!

( The Chamber )

Just this one last ficlet tonight, and then I will quit spamming, I promise. And you know, I really need more DD icons. (Because the four I have are clearly not enough...)

Title: My Secret Identity
Fandom: Daredevil
Pairing: Matt/Foggy
Rating: PG

( My Secret Identity )

Just got back from a double feature at the nearby drive-in theater. Indiana Jones and Iron Man.

Best. Double. Feature. Ever! In a word? Awesome.

OMG TONY STARK. <3 OMG ROBOTS. <3 OMG FOGGY NELSON CAN DIRECT! <3

So happy (and tired) right now.

It's only been three years or so since I last posted a chapter of this. *facepalm* I've had this chapter in progress on my computer for ages, then finished it a few months ago and wimped out on posting. But, as a belated birthday present to myself, I decided to POST SOME FANNISH CONTENT, darnit. *g*

Title: Permeation
Pairing: Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker (...kind of? It's gen so far.)
Rating: Overall rating is Adult, this chapter is PG
Notes: Continued from Part Five. Be warned that this WIP has been in progress for three years and may never be finished. I'd like to finish it someday, but I can't make any promises. I hated to let this chapter "go to waste," though.
Summary: After the duel on Bespin, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader will come to know one another more closely than either could ever have imagined...by becoming trapped in one another's bodies. Response to a challenge on the Luke_Vader Yahoo!Group. Post-ESB/RotJ AU.

( Permeation, Part Six )

According to my spamfic poll, y'all wanted me to write both Marvelverse and Star Wars spamfic. Just as well, since this is a ridiculous amount of fun. *g* And since Star Wars fic was beating out Marvelverse last I checked, I decided to start with SW.

Title: Aim at New Love Victories
Fandom/characters: Star Wars (Luke and Darth Vader, gen)
To be taken seriously: Definitely not.
Notes: The title and every single bit of dialogue were taken directly from the subject lines in my spam folder tonight. I added punctuation, sometimes, but I left the spelling. Also? I'm kind of surprised at how not-funny this fic ended up being, but I had a hard time trying to wrap my head around writing a penis-enlargement conversation in the GFFA. o.O But intentional badfic is the next best thing, right?
