When I saw the first one of these, I pretty much thought it was the best thing I'd ever seen in my life... until I saw the second.

So you take various kickass/awesome/beefed-up/[insert adjective here] heroines of Final Fantasy, face them off with Dead or Alive characters, and ...

Wow. I so totally fail. This is what happens when you distracted by awesome video games that just came out. God, it's like college all over again.

Written (and failed to be completed) for somniesperus' V-day fic challenge.

Fic: Practically perfect in every way but one (or more), Part 1 of 2
Fandom: Devil Wears Prada/Mary Poppins
Pairings: None
Rating: Gen
Description: 26. Crossover time! What happens when the Runway regulars meet something truly beyond their experience? etc.

Random something tossed together for somniesperus' v-day challenge, because, hell, I still have 5 minutes till v-day's over in my time zone and it's not the same thing if it's not really v-day.

Title: J et M

Description: #16. Why does Jacqueline irritate Miranda so much, anyway?

Having neglected this space for entirely too long, I figured I should do something about it before February rolls round, and having spent absolutely no time on anything remotely related to anything this blog normally is associated with, I'll use the fact that I was tagged by girl_fromjersey with a meme as an excuse to update.

1.) List seven facts/quirks/habits about yourself.
2.) Tag seven other people to do the same.
3.) Do not tag the person who tagged you, or tag "whoever wants to do it."

1. I procrastinate like hell. (Evidence -- the 5000+ photos I still have to sort, rename, tag, categorise, etc from my holiday trip.)
B. No, 2. I would have finished sorting those photos by now if I wasn't recently spending all my time on the following: Veronica Mars, Doctor Who, DS9, Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Rune Factory, etc.
3, or C. My likes include musical theatre, eating lobster, taking photographs like an amateur, and the rush of starting new video games.
4, or D, or (iv). I have trouble playing video games to completion. (Evidence: Final Fantasy III/V/VI/X/Tactics, Grandia, Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, Star Ocean: Till the end of time, Dragon Quest 8, among others.)
5. I rode a bus for 3 hours to DC on a terribly cold day just to take this picture.
6. There are fics I want to write (and need to finish) but there's something in the way (see #1).
7. This is one of my favourite views in the world.

I'm not real sure who to tag. :-/ So, er, "whoever wants to do it," be my guest  :D

Leaving on a three-week trip to Tokyo->Kansai->Hong Kong tomorrow -- er, today! :D

In four hours. D:

And have barely packed. D:

And have failed to finish DWP fic that has been festering for the past 3 months. *beats fic to bloody pulp with a stick*

But I'm leaving on a three-week trip! :D

How come it took me so long to discover Veronica Mars?

Hooked, already, after 2 episodes.

Signed, pathetic Kristen Bell fangirl

So I totally have an obsession with a girl crush on Elle Bishop now. And I haven't even seen a single episode of Veronica Mars. Crap.

Urp. Heroes fic. WTH? And what is with me and huge age differences?

Thanks for reading, and comments/feedback are much appreciated!

I was pretty close to Patti Lupone tonight. I mean, front row, stage right, close enough to reach up and touch her (and get thrown out of the theatre) while she sang, but this was about as close as I got to a picture with her.





She somehow evaded both small groups of people waiting for her autograph at both exits; must have really wanted to get out of there. At least I got Mandy Patinkin to sign my playbill when he left.

But Patti. Oh Patti. What an odd, odd voice; I've always found it somewhat unpleasant yet compelling. Overrated? Perhaps. But by golly, she has a good reason to be. To see her live tonight, for the first time ever, what an experience. It was like she was doing vocal gymnastics up there; she's really, really good. You can't help but be blown away.

Also, I obtained Phoenix Wright 3 today, so what craptacular progress I was already making on whatever fic I may have been working on just got worse.

... I'd be tempted to throw away my vote on this.

Colbert for President 2008?

One word: blerg. 

Thanks to redscribefor proofreading.

Fic: Side by side ... by side
Fandom: Devil Wears Prada (movie)
Pairing: Andy/Miranda, unrequited Emily/Miranda
Rating: R
Description: Emily observes, and tries to do her job right.
Notes: Sequel to On-the-job Training and Everybody's got the right.  



Thanks for reading -- all feedback is welcome.

Bionic Woman is a piece of trash. The dialogue stinks, the delivery stinks, the plot logic stinks. Michelle Ryan is hot but wooden, but I've seen her in other stuff, and she's really quite gorgeous, so I'm waiting for her to surprise me. Plus the idea of bionic body parts is kind of cool.

Title: Bionic Assistant
Fandom: Devil Wears Prada (movie)/Bionic Woman (2007 TV series)
Pairings: Andy/Miranda

Notes: Set some time after episode 2 of Bionic Woman, and ignores everything that happens after it.




Thanks for reading, as always!

Yes, that license plate actually says "Handsome."

Erm, so I think I was about to write some Andy/Miranda to cap a trilogy. Or do some crazy Everybody Loves Emily crackfic. But instead I came up with this, so I must be in a very weird mood.

Title:  In Place of the Mother 
Fandom: Devil Wears Prada (movie)
Pairing: Andy/Caroline, Andy/Miranda
Rating: PG-13
Description: Andy can't get over Miranda. Caroline can't get over Andy not getting over Miranda. AU of an AU I created, I guess?
Disclaimer: Characters not mine. Lyrics Caroline sings are from The Girl Who Has Everything, from the musical Grey Gardens.

Sometime after the 4th inning of Game 2, Colorado at Philly, it occurs to me that I hate the Phillies, but I care anyway by default.

PLEASE JUST BE OVER.

Fic: Everybody's got the right
Fandom: Devil Wears Prada
Pairing: Emily/Miranda
Rating: M
Description: Emily learns what it's like to be an assistant to Miranda Priestly.
Notes: Written for the femslash_today porn battle. Last one. For real. (Just had to do an Emily/Miranda one.) Title is taken from Everybody's got the right (to be happy) from the musical Assassins, by Stephen Sondheim.

Edited to add: consider this a prequel of sorts to On-the-job Training.

Prompt: emily/miranda, job security

Now that that's out of my system, back to my regular Andy/Miranda craze.

Fic: Fight for her life
Fandom: Damages
Pairing: Patty/Ellen
Rating: M
Description: This is what happened after Episode 10. (my version, anyway.) Edited after episode 11 to say: this completely contradicts canon. (Damages, you are killing me.)
Notes: Written for the femslash_today porn battle. Just a tad too long.

Prompt: Patty/Ellen, Self-survival
