Fic reccs and seriously day what did I do to you to make you suck so?

Sat down and watched my netflix. Took it out to the mailbox only to find all THREE boxes from my book clubs came today but the mail person was too lazy to bring them to the house like they're supposed to do. No she wedged them all into the box (did likewise iwth my neighbor's box) and rubber banded the thing shut because they wouldn't fit. I busted my hands all up trying to get that out. But at least i have 6 new books (as if I needed them)

I have gotten some good fic from [livejournal.com profile] springkink even though very few of my claims were taken this time. I've already linked you up to [livejournal.com profile] evil_little_dog's NCIS one. Here are some of the FMA ones I've received. Go read and enjoy

Troubled Sleep (Roy/Riza)

Sweet Dreams (Roy/Riza)

I was supposed to get a couple Ed/winry's on the 9th but that didn't happen. Well [livejournal.com profile] evil_little_dog DID start hers but i'm not linking that up until she gets more.

I am SUPPOSED to get another Ed/Winry today. In fact FIVE people took this prompt, two artists and three fiction writers. So far nothing but the day is only half gone. We shall see. and actually that is the extent of what got taken, four prompts only.

I also forgot to mention my bad dream (so yeah this day has sucked all the way thru). I dreamt mom and I were on a cruise. She fell down two flights of stairs and was lying there screaming and I was sure she had broken her back. I tried to get help but they wouldn't help until I filled out the proper forms. To do so I had to carve the letters of her name out of obsidian....okay then

I put in 12 prompts for springkink. 7 were claimed (2 of them twice) for a total of 8 fics and 1 art. So far I have been lucky and am only missing 3 of those (and 1 is the art from jojo_kun, whom I told not to rush because I wanted her best efforts). I'm hopeful that I'll be getting a few more pieces before the month is up.

I hope when I join in during the next round that I don't take more prompts than I can handle. There were a LOT that were calling to me this time. Speaking of which, when do they usually do the next round? March? April?

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2009-11-21 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
one of the pieces of art is also from jojo_kun and i wouldn't mind waiting. I usually get shafted so the fact that I have 3 1/2 out of ten promises I'm pleased.

um looking back i posted in June so I'm thinking prompts go in in April and claimed in May

I saw that jojo_kun had found an author for your prompt that she had claimed. I think she bit off more than she could chew this round...she sure was stressing! I'll gladly wait for the Ed/Ling though. They are a very guilty pairing of mine, and I've yet to see her draw Ling (I have a feeling in her style he will be quite yummy).

You know you'll get something fun in the gift exchange. I can't wait for the prompts to go up. :D

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
yeah joj0_kun has a habit of that, she admits it. I may never see mine but i know how that goes. i thnk i DO have one of her ed/ling's (goes to look. i do save fan art in a file marked that so i'm sure i don't do anything with it)

for a second i had no idea what exchange you meant. I've been into the margaritas

I hope I don't put myself in a similar situation when the time comes. I'll honestly have to limit myself to 2-3, which will be REALLY tough.

haha, did you have fun while in the margaritas? ELD will be posting the prompts soon at the gift group, right?I get way too excited about these things.

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
i do limit myself...to a dozen or less.

I do burn out thought, witnes [livejournal.com profile] fma_fic_contest though plenty of things at play with that burn out. i'll recover eventually

i did enjoy my margarita. Yes she should be posting soon. she'll be back on soon i can ask

Oh man, if I signed up for a dozen I'd totally burn out and not get to them all. XD

I'm actually quite burned our at the fic contest too, funny enough. I'm going to take a break after the vote for POke is over. The holidays are busy anyway.

*does happy prompt dance* I'll be on the lookout over the next few days. ;D

yeah i'm the queen of taking on too much

nods. I was doing every prompt but now the prompt REALLY needs to speak to me. Hell i haven't looked at the prompts in weeks with the added feeling of i doubt it matters....

yep you'll see it soon one way or the other. I only have one more to finish, a Saiyuki one

Of my eight requests, COM took three, so I knew I'd get something, one other has been posted, and I've got one more prompt that two people said they were writing for due on the 28th.

Last year, Springkink offered some fun stuff around Valentine's day. And there was the Olympic Kinkathon, which was pretty cool.

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2009-11-21 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
oh yeah i forgot that

hehe, COM took 3 of mine too (ambitious lady!). 2 of the missed ones that have passed I don;t think I'll see, and one of those authors has another of mine on the 25th? that I'm not expecting to see. I'm still pretty excited to get free fic, though!

I guess once this round's over I'll have to add springkink to my watch list so I can know when the next rounds are (didn't want to bog down my f-list with all the fic posts right now).

you were 3 of 8 (sort of like 7 of 9)

yeah one of my no shows did do one of my others so maybe it'll be late. I did get one of the 5 promised things for today so yay.

not sure if you're into ed/winry b ut another fun challenge is doing sign ups right now [livejournal.com profile] fireandice09

I do like Ed/Win, but I'm so overwhelmed with everything right now I'll have to stay away this time.

I think I have 1 more from you, the jojo art, and then 2 more that I'm not counting on seeing, but will be pleasantly surprised if I do.

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
that one is almost ready to go (it's done, just waiting on the beta if it happens)

yesterday was the last for me. I got one of three stories and none of the art but jojo told me it WILL be coming so that's cool

[identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's fun. And since the stories are mostly under cuts, I can skim past anything I'm not interested in.

I've just been checking by fandom tags without the friend watch. I'm pooling to get a bunch of the Inuyasha group involved for the next round...there isn't even a TAG for that series!

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2009-11-23 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
really? I don't follow IY but i'm surprised there isn't a subset here...but now that i think about it

You'd think there'd be a few of us IY nerds there, but sadly there doesn't seem to be any. I'll try and reign some on for the next batch. I know I have a few IY prompts to toss out at the very least.

that community has some of the weirdest stuff.

Bible fanfic? (okay that one makes me nervous)

Transformers....somehow I don't get the whole robots doing it kink but whatever

I didn't see any My LIttle Pony this time but it was big last year

Have you met [livejournal.com profile] leni_ba? She sometimes writes Inuyasha....

Um, if it helps, I had this rather weird dream about God and Don Cheadle. God was talking to Don about feeling impotent (imagine that) because He wants to protect us from ourselves but cannot get involved because that would take away the choice He gave us.

God was not happy. It was an extremely strange dream.

[identity profile] angelfirenze.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it was really kind of saddening.

Ugh what a HORRIBLE dream

And I hate when the postal lady does our packages like that (we have a po box). It seems she wants to bend and cram everything she can in there instead of holding it for pickup :/

yeah no kidding

there is no excuse. my coworker had a Wii system left in the rain by these twits
