+ Due to the acknowledgement that I've been making more and more of my entries f-locked, I realized that this is probably because I don't want the outside world to know about my personal life. To counter the belief that I don't update my LJ, I decided to make it known to the world that I do indeed use my LJ, but it may not be visible to all.

+ If  you would like to be added as a friend, just comment on this entry with the reason why you would like to be added. I may write up a little bio for myself in my profile, but until then, you're going to have to guess who I am and my interests by my open-to-all entries. DO NOT FEEL INTIMIDATED IN ASKING TO BE ADDED ON AS A FRIEND; we'd really have to have nothing in common for me to reject you. :D

+ Any occasional vids, fics, and art I may create and complete will remain open for all to see. 

+ I have deleted a few people from my flist because A) their journals are dead or B) I feel like we don't have any shared interests anymore and we just don't communicate. Feel free to delete me from your own flist; I will not be offended or take it personally. If you feel like I've made a mistake in deleting you from my flist, please speak up here and I will re-evaluate the situation. ;)

Still, someone might find something they like and I provided the resources here so you can check them out if necessary.

Eep, the first picspam with more than 3 pictures involved! :D
+ Screencaps can be found in my Resources.; please don't use the following for your own picspams or icons.
+ Please feel free to let me know how this went. What you liked? What you disliked? This just might be my new hobby this summer, who knows? :)
+ Most have Youtube links to watch the video connecting to the pictures/quotes.

The idea for this one is simple →
5 favorite themes/things from my 5 favorite shows/movies of 2009

(Basically, this was just an excuse to look at pretty people, once more!)
 
I. «THE FALL» Okay, so I know this movie was technically watched in 2008, but I still love it lots.
THE FALL - spoilers for most of the film )
 
 
 


II. «FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS» You guys must've seen this one coming, right? :)
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS - spoilers for season 1 only )




III. «DOLLHOUSE» Yes, it was a very short season, but there were still stuff there besides background info. :)
DOLLHOUSE - spoilers through 1x11 only )




IV. «LOST» It's not my favorite of all time anymore, but I still do watch it regularly.
LOST - spoilers for all of season 5 )




V. «SUPERNATURAL» I kind of feel like I should make an entire picspam devoted to this season of Supernatural. It's been outstanding!
SUPERNATURAL - spoilers for all of season 4 (!!!) )

Last day of finals - woot!!! So glad to be done for the semester. But now I seriously have to find a job/paid internship. :(

Now I'm off to watch Dollhouse's season finale and I leave you the following:

• Snagged from [info]phoenix39 ---
♦♦♦ Go to my usericons page. Take a look around. Pick an icon and I will write a drabble (or fic) inspired by it. Repeat as necessary.


and

• Snagged from [info]married_n_mich  ---
♦♦♦Every person on your FList gets to request a drabble from you.

Post all fandoms you're willing to write for. Your friends can pick a relationship, a story arc, a missing scene, or pretty much anything they want, unless the author has previously mentioned that they will not write it. They comment with what they want, and you write drabbles and post it in your LiveJournal.

Rules
1. The author can choose three relationships and three story arcs they will not write, per fandom.
2. The author can set what rating levels they're willing to write for.
3. The drabbles can be no longer than 100 words.


I think most of you know my fandoms, but I guess I'll list them. I'm comfortable writing for:
Supernatural (no Wincest)
Lost (there's not a lot of characters I'll write for here, but I think most of you will be able to guess)
Pushing Daisies
Dead Like Me
Buffy (maybe, though my memory's really shaky; no sexual Spike/Buffy - platonic okay.)
Angel (no sexual Angel/Cordy - platonic okay.)
Dollhouse (possibly)
The Fall (why not! I'll try)

I probably won't do anything p0rn-ish, but anything else you'd like to ask for, go ahead.

(First day on my summer vacation, and I'm already looking for something productive to do! LOL)

Stole this from [info]starrylizard  a long time ago (and I feel incredibly guilty because I still haven't read her fics), but:

Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.


with the monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth )

I tag:
Well, this is a predicament, because I don't think too many of you folks are fanfic writers! Hmm, okay...

Title: Five Times Ned’s Made Exceptions For Chuck

Author: turquoisetumult
Rating: G? PG? (It’s fluffy-fluff fluffiness!)
Word Count: approximately 2,665.
Characters/Pairings: Ned, Chuck. Ned/Chuck.
Genre: Fluff; Romance.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pushing Daisies or its characters. If I did, it would not have been canceled!
Warning: This is unbeta-ed. But it should be a-okay to read considering English is my first language and all... Nevertheless, even though I reread it, if someone notices a mistake (typo or other), let me know and I’ll fix it.
Summary: Going chronologically backward, five particular instances Ned’s made an exception for Chuck.

[“What if …” He bit his lower lip. “You didn’t have to be dead?” // Math, rules, symmetry – all of it be damned.]

 


 

It’s not weird ... it’s symmetrical. )

 


Author’s Notes: I had been meaning to write a Pushing Daisies fic for a while and then I just got a few random ideas in my head. Not knowing how to tie them all together, I decided to write a “Five Times” fic (my first try ever for both the PD fic and the Five Times!) Hopefully, I did both things justice! Anyway, this was just a way to celebrate my beloved, but demised Ned/Chuck ship. Also, I read a spoiler a while back concerning what would have happened for Ned and Chuck had the show lived on and … I didn’t like it. Needed to get the happy fluffiness back into the world… :D

Please feel free to leave some feedback, whether it’s complimentary or constructively critical.

Enjoy, everyone!
