Until the Stars Are All Alight

I added the five drabbles I wrote for the Kickstart Meme, you can check the list on the front page. =)

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing or character of your choosing. In return, you are challenged to post this in your own journal, regardless of your ability level- or not as you wish.

1. Marco/Jordan for rattyjol 
2. Eva for lisacharly 
3. Puck/Lauren for smiley_face86 
4. Kristie/Li for infernalearache 
5. Rachel and Jake for natural_blue_26 
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Somehow I doubt I'll even get ten. I'm only committing to minifics (think, like, within an LJ comment length) but obviously if your prompt is just SO BRILLIANT it could turn into more. Also, limiting the fandoms to Glee/Animorphs/LotR/Lost, because I DON'T want to have to do research, lol.

Meme ganked from rattyjol of awesome Animorphs fic. =D

PS: Shelly...don't prompt my chapter, I'll get to it, I swear!

So. It's basically American Idol, only instead of a recording contract the prize is a 7-ep role on Glee. (I imagine if your character got enough fanbuzz or whatnot you'd get to stay.) And it's entertaining enough--Darren was on there last night, there were four or five music numbers and IDK I'll probably be watching it faithfully because, let's face it, there's pretty much jack shit else on to watch anyway since most things are between seasons, and it'll help me survive the Glee summer hiatus.

(That and the concert movie coming out in August. Cannot. WAIT.)

I'm already rooting for Scottish Accent kid, and Girl Who Is 18 But Looks 10, and Big Fabulous Black Diva Guy, even though he's like...Kurt and Mercedes' lovechild?

Point being, I'm already kind of invested, and most/all of the people on there are interesting, and I'm not 100% sure who I want to win (ie who I actually want on the show).

And then I thought...what if they could pick more than one?

And then I thought...what if they could just use them all?

And then I thought...DAMMIT BRAIN I CANNOT WRITE A GLEE AU WITH TWELVE OCs BASED ON THESE PEOPLE. I CANNOT.

DOES MY BRAIN LISTEN?

No. OF COURSE NOT.

I am already scheming as to who ends up in Glee right away, who would take time to come around, who to pair up with whom (both with original castmembers and each other...)

Should I? It'd be like...my summer writing project. I'd wrap it up before the new season started, obviously, because MOST MASSIVE AU EVER. Also I don't have a plot per se but I would be open to taking feedback and running with it. I could write a chapter a week-ish. This would be my cast, lol.

Mother's Day-themed Klaine fluff can be found here, at the bottom of the page: Family Dynamic

I got it up before I went to bed on Mother's Day. It still counts, right?

Just spoke with the mod, and the poll will be open until about 5 AM, my time. (Central time. GMT -6 and whatnot.) The voting is so close they wanted to be sure and give the full week to vote, instead of cutting it short by a few hours. Because it might actually count.

So I'll be able to check in the morning while I get ready for work. There's no way I'm staying up, not when I have to work tomorrow, and it's already too late for me to go to bed early enough to get up that early. (I could try, but I'd snooze through my alarms, I know I would, and then I'd end up being late to work, so...yeah.)

On the bright side, win or lose, I'll be putting it on my website tomorrow after work.

AND another Glee fic that I revised tonight.

AND an Animorphs ficlet. (It's <400 words.) I'm the least sure about this one. It's dark and twisted and kind of..."adult." For me.

They're supposed to announce the winner tomorrow.

So when are they gonna close the freaking poll???

*bites nails*

*not really, broke that habit a long time ago*

The voting is up and OMG I wish I could tell you to vote for me. ASDFJKL!

The competition is even tighter than last time--last time there were 5-6 entries for each category. This time there are two fanarts and three fanfics. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. So I have a better shot, maybe? I'm reading the other entries now, already chose my vote for fanart.

ETA: Can't vote for myself, obvs. But voted, and saw who's voted for what...and OHHHH really the voting is going to last a week? I think I might die between now and then. *flails*

ETA2: It's here, if anyone's interested, but again, I can't say which entry is mine. I really want to win so I can put the banner on my site when I post it! =D

Website still pending. I used GoDaddy's instructions this time, even though they said almost exactly the same thing. =/ If it hasn't switched to the Weebly placeholder by 6 PM Tuesday I'll call them.

My Animorphs fic has been accepted to the competition! I'd say vote for me, but it's all anonymous and telling you which fic is mine would get me booted, so...yeah. (Also, voting hasn't started. Deadline is like three weeks from tomorrow.)

Well, frankly, I do this all the time. If I'm reading or writing something and a certain song fits the mood of what I'm doing, I'll put it on repeat. (It's the ONLY way to write songfic, for sure.) I've been known to do this with new Glee songs just because I actually want to hear them that much. Eight of my top ten played songs in iTunes are Glee, and "Baby It's Cold Outside" is the only thing that's reached triple-digit plays. (My playcounts were all reset to zero when I had to reformat my computer last time, but still. That's been a while now.)

That being said, when I don't have a hankering for one particular song, my preferred method of listening to music is to have my entire library on shuffle.
