    Astro, I blame my lack of sleep on you
    Because I was up half the night thinking about certain crack SW ships/stories and smiling maniacally. You have no idea.

    Amusing
    http://i.io9.com/5303443/seasteading-is-the-aquatic-answer-to-the-housing-crisis

    I also wikipedia'd it and learned all about "Sealand" a non-recognized country in the North Sea on what was once an old English naval base. I must admit to being highly amused.

    Done posting to ffn
    I finally uploaded all my chapters of the Remus Sirius Friendship Fic on ffn.

    I currently have no outstanding fic projects.

    Okay, except for that one which I'm not finishing. :p

    So, I present the flist with a fun link today: http://www.catsinsinks.com/

    The site's domain name is self explanatory.

    Myra!
    Myra! You cannot tease me like that and then disappear! Whose bachelor party is it? I need to know!



    In other news, tonight I learned that Flood 09 claimed the life of "The Writing Laptop." It no longer turns on. It was a good little laptop that lasted through many difficult trials these past six years. May it rest in peace.

    Exhaustion....
    I'm putting cuts. Because there's a lot of stuff here and I need to ramble.

    Hour breakdown of Ri's Trip to a Wedding )

    For those who didn't read the part under the cut, the only thing that's really important is the part where I said "I am a child of the 80s." I know Michael Jackson was really weird and...let's call it "had issues"...but, having grown up when I did, he had a pretty big effect on the pop culture of that time. So, for those who did grow up in the 80s (and for those who wish they did) I was able to scrounge up the original Thriller video online. You can view it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyJbIOZjS8. Bonus points to all members of my flist who have seen it before; double points to all members of my flist who can do the dance.

    Also, Farrah Fawcett passed away this week as well. I grew up watching Charlie's Angels Reruns and pretending to be the different characters. I thought they were so cool. I'm not sure if anyone here is old enough to remember the TV show "Charlie's Angels," but I was super excited to find the opening credits for the pilot episode here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW_daBHfjag. Yes, it was a good TV show before it became two absolutely terrible movies. No, I don't know why Hollywood keeps doing that.

    Okay, I've got to go help with the lawn because it's been two weeks and the neighbors might revolt.

    Resurrecting Moony - a.k.a. Remus Sirius Friendship Fic - Part Three
    Disclaimer: Ri remains in mourning over the fact that she has no ownership rights to Harry Potter. The series, its characters, and its locals are the property of JK Rowling. Ri makes no money off her therapeutic fanficcing.

    Part II available at - http://hm-yrie.livejournal.com/140136.html


    I was going to wait and post this later, but Astro made me this wonderful icon and I love it so much that I had to use it. And since the quote comes from this part of the story, I had to put this part of the story up instead of sitting on it.

    Resurrecting Moony - a.k.a. Remus Sirius Friendship Fic - Part Two
    Disclaimer: Despite Ri's wildest hopes and dreams, Ri still does not own the Harry Potter series, its settings, and its characters. Ri continues to remain in mourning over the fact that she does not own these things and is reduced to writing fanfiction in an effort to cope with this reality.

    When we last saw our heroes, they had produced a folder of potential Marauder projects authored by Prongs years prior and were planning to use it to retaliate against the Weasley twins after an incident involving Remus, Tonks, and a lust potion (much to Remus's mortification).

    Busy busy day
    So I've been running non-stop today (making up a lot of missed stuff since the great flood of last week). I finally got my dinner break (yay) and in a few moments I'm running off to an event at my local B&N.

    When I get back, if I'm not exhausted yet, I'm going to make a couple of edits to the Remus Sirius Friendship Fic and put up Part Two. And maybe even Part Three (we'll see).

    So, almost done with the fic
    I have like half a page of part two to write, then I just have to edit the whole thing. (Part III is complete. Angsty, but complete).

    In a mostly unrelated question - in a startling percentage of fanfiction featuring Remus, he's a fan of Joni Mitchell. While Joni Mitchell is cool, I was curious where this fanon came from. I'm assuming it's fanon. Did JKR ever mention in an interview "Oh, and Remus Lupin is a huge Joni Mitchell fan" or was there some influential fanfic that used that and everyone else latched onto it? I'm rather curious.

    Okay. I'm finishing the draft of this fic tonight. I have just a few more paragraphs to write. I can do this!

    Resurrecting Moony - a.k.a. Remus Sirius Friendship Fic (pre-OotP) - Part One
    Title: Resurrecting Moony
    Rating: Probably PG. I can't help but slide in bad words occasionally.
    Keywords: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Order of the Phoenix
    Warning: This is NOT a slash fic. If you find two single adult men having a close friendship without romance squicky, then this is not the fic for you. In fact, there is practically NO romance in this fic at all! There is however angst and hopefully a lot of humor.
    Disclaimer: Ri, though loving fantasy, the Harry Potter series generally, and Remus Lupin specifically, does not own Sirius, Remus, OotP, or anything related to Harry Potter. These things (except for 'fantasy') belong to JK Rowling. Ri just writes fanfiction for fun and does not profit monetarily from doing so.

    ff100 Prompt 085. She
    Prompt: 085. She
    Rogues: Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles, Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivan
    Summary: Wedge, Hobbie, and Janson ponder whether there's something going on between their CO and Princess Leia. Implied one-sided Wedge/Leia if you squint.
    Setting: Between ANH and ESB

    Disclaimer: Don't own it

    The problem with being a member of a resistance group trying to overthrow the government was – well, there were many problems, such as lack of decent food, having to spend massive amounts of time in hiding, the wanted posters…. But the current problem was that their small, hidden base was too small. Everyone knew everyone else’s business, or alleged business, and when situations like that arose, you sometimes heard things you wished you hadn’t. For example, Wes Janson’s announcement that their commanding officer was involved with a certain Alderaanian princess. That was information he could have done without.
    She )

    I wrote this awhile ago and realized I hadn't put it up here yet. Depending on how my work on the Remus Sirius Friendship Fic goes tonight, I may put up the first part of that sometime this weekend.

    Really? It isn't LITERAL!! (Titanic mumblings)
    Okay, I just cannot take it anymore. I have got to rant about Titanic. Yes, the movie. The one with Leo-the-former-heart-throb-of-the-tween-set.

    The scene. In the end. Where the redhead chick promises not to let go. We all there? Yes. Okay.

    When she promises not to let go, she doesn't literally mean letting go of his hand. It's a throw back to the beginning of the movie when she was going to kill herself and he talks her back over the railing. (Remember, he promises then that he won't let go and that he'll get her safely back on the other side of the railing? No? He does. Trust me on this one). The line symbolizes (symbolizes!) that, just as she chose to live then and let Leo save her, she's choosing to live now and finds the strength to survive and then to go on and live her life the way she wanted. So when she says, "I'll never let go" and then lets go of his hand, she's promising not to kill herself and not to waste away in the life that everyone else expected of her. She's promising to live. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ACTUALLY HOLDING THE DEAD GUY'S HAND.

    Honestly!

    Stop the Ficcing!
    So another fic idea has bitten me. This one features Remus Lupin and Sirius Black a few weeks before the start of OotP and is mostly lighthearted fluff (though there are occasional moments of angst, as they remember James).

    I've somehow managed to type three pages in about an hour while doing other things (like talking online about how it's a beer night). This one should not be anywhere near as long as the Remus/Lily fic of doom.

    Here's an excerpt...

    Sirius pushed himself to his feet and grabbed his wand. “Whatever we do, we can’t get caught by Molly. She might be on to me, but she mistakenly believes you're respectable.”

    “What are you planning on doing? Pinning the prank of the century on Arthur?” Remus asked wryly.

    Sirius rolled his eyes. “Now, Moony, I’d never be that dumb. If we can’t get away free and clear, I was thinking we could pin it on Ronald.”

    so no flames yet
    On my ffn version of the Remus/Lily fic of doom. I'm feeling rather proud of myself. When I think ffn, I think flames. Although, to be fair, I don't think I've ever been flamed there (though I've seen plenty of flames for other people); this is more due to the fact that up until now everything I posted there was for very obscure fandoms. :p I mean, there just aren't that many people who are into Silmfic.

    Perhaps I shall try to write more? Not on the fic of doom; it's self contained and finished. But perhaps another project. We shall see. I really should be working on my attempt at profic, but...yeah...

    Fic Recs?
    Hello flisters. I was wondering if anyone out there could recommend some good marauders fanfics? I've been bitten by a lovely little bug and am now curious to no end about these four.

    Meme stolen from Myra
    Name your 10 absolutely favorite couples (het/slash/canon/fanon) and ask people to see what trends they notice about your couples. Try to pick different fandoms.

    Picking only one per fandom is HARD. I did split SW up to at least take two from it, because SW has a huge number of characters.

    In no particular order:

    1. Michael/Selene (Underworld) (see icon)
    2. Carrot/Angua (Discworld)
    3. Prue/Andy (Charmed)
    4. Rory/Jess (Gilmore Girls)
    5. Wedge/Iella (profic pilotfic)
    6. Wes/Inyri (fanfic pilotfic) (come on; I invented it. You know it had to be on the list)
    7. Jack/Claire (L&O)
    8. Harry/Hermione (Harry Potter)
    9. Zoe/Wash (Firefly)
    10. Jordan/Tera (Icarus Hunt) (I will love you forever if you write me a fanfic with this)
