Lots of cooking to do!

Question of the Day
Dec. 26th, 2018 11:21 pm![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
questionoftheday asks: What are the five best types of gifts that someone could get you based on your personality and interests?My answer: Books are the main one, of course; I particularly like sci-fi/fantasy, mysteries, and classic literature- and I looove cookbooks. Beyond that, I'm definitely at the age where I've concluded that socks are in fact wonderful presents. I'm generally good with getting clothes. Gift cards are always appreciated though maybe not great for me, since I'm an impulse buyer of the worst kind. I also enjoy food/candy gift packages. But mostly I like books.
Also, a belated Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and a general happy holidays!
Holiday Masterlist
Dec. 17th, 2018 01:08 pmI love writing holiday/seasonal fics and I usually try to get at least a couple in every year (admittedly sometimes in July). I thought I'd do a masterlist of my holiday fics from recent years before things really get rolling. Also it's tumblr log-off day, and some of you here might find something fun.
Christmas Fics
Brand New Start (The Musketeers, d'Artagnan/Athos/Constance) Constance always has trouble with the holidays. This year may or may not be worse than usual.
The Brightest of Signs (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy + Roxy/Merlin) Harry talks Roxy through a mission just before Christmas.
The Calm (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) An interlude while in the field.
Carols and Pomegranate Seeds (Identity, John/Martha) John reflects, and pays Martha a visit.
Takeout Christmas (Wild Wild West, Artie/Jim) Jim and Artie are next door neighbors.
Through the Years (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) Across three Christmases.
Wasting Time (Thorne, Phil/Tom) Phil gets a boyfriend. Tom gets a clue.
New Year's Fics
Bubbles (Identity, John/Martha) Martha has something to tell John.
To Make a Beginning (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy + Tilde) Villains are thwarted, a princess rescues Eggsy more than the other way around, and Harry is a bit difficult- so probably a pretty average New Year's Eve, all things considered.
Winter & Huddling for Warmth Fics
A Room for the Night (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Childermass/Segundus) After a trying day, Childermass and Segundus secure a room at an inn. Things transpire.
Baby It's Cold Outside (Cormoran Strike, Robin/Cormoran) After Warmth, one thing leads to another.
Chill (Wild Wild West, Artie/Jim) Artie warms Jim up.
Feels Like Home (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) Harry learns to like holding Eggsy- perhaps too much.
Frozen (Wild Wild West, Artie/Jim) Jim runs into Artie at Christmas.
In Winter (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Emma/Arabella) Something warm.
Out of the Cold (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) A mission gone wrong.
Snowbound (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) Considering how many times Harry has almost died in the field, it would be silly to call this his worst mission. It rather feels like it is, though.
To Make Dreams Truths and Fables Histories (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Childermass/Segundus) Segundus' attempt to cure a toothache with magic goes somewhat awry.
Warmth (Cormoran Strike, Robin/Cormoran) Strike and Robin help keep each other warm.
Misc.
Getting It Right (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) Five times Eggsy gets Harry to kiss him for the wrong reasons (and one time he gets it right).
Sunshine and Snow (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Childermass/Segundus) Segundus runs afoul of some weather magic. Technically a summer fic but I swear it counts.
If anyone has any holiday ficlet prompts, feel free to hit me up! I'm already working on a couple of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Sherlock Holmes, and Raffles fics, but the more the merrier.

Happy New Year
Jan. 1st, 2017 04:03 pmHappy New Year everyone! Let's hope it's a good one!
I'll be starting the questions meme pretty soon, and I'm still taking questions here if anyone is interested.
Re: the current LJ panic, it seems like a lot of fuss over nothing to me. Like I'm not really sure why people think Russia takes such a keen interest in their LJ posts, but if Russia does they've already been reading them. If I didn't post all my fanfiction entirely on AO3 I might be more worried about the move, but since I don't... *shrugs*
Anyway, I may set up a backup dreamwidth just to be safe, so look out for a post about that. In fhe meantime, in case the site implodes or something you can still find me on tumblr (I don't follow very many people just to keep my dash managable, but feel free to say hi).

Happy Holidays Everyone!
Dec. 24th, 2016 10:24 amMerry Christmas, Happy Hanukah! Whatever you celebrate (or don't) I hope you all have a good one <3
According to the news I was supposed to have snow today (and a white Christmas tomorrow) but the sun is shining and I'm pretty sure that was a lie. Otherwise I'm having a good time.
Lots of baking to do, so I'm off. Happy Holidays!

Happy New Year, Everyone!
Dec. 31st, 2014 11:24 pmI hope this coming year treats you well, especially those who've had a hard time of it this last one.
Happy Thanksgiving
Nov. 26th, 2014 09:12 pmTo those who celebrate it. Hope yours is fun and not stressful!
Happy Fourth of July
Jul. 4th, 2014 09:47 pmTo my American friends (and everyone, I guess). Hope it's a good one!
Also, happy belated New Year everyone!
Jan. 1st, 2014 10:46 pmI get to put up the 2014 Doctor Who calender I got in London. Yay!
January is the First Doctor, naturally. All the months except December have one of the Doctors surrounded by the major series villains. January also has a Dalek, some other robotic creatures, and what looks like a dude in a creepy bumblebee costume. Anyone know the story on the bumblebee dude? I'm going to buckle down and watch the really old seasons of Doctor Who sometime soon, so hopefully I'll be able to answer this question myself before too long, but still.
Anyway, hope everyone had a good time!
