Icon Appreciation
Aug. 10th, 2013 09:03 pmThe other day when I was looking at my icons, this one showed up blank. Today I noticed it was back and decided to post with it just because.
It's also appropriate because I have a paper to edit tonight, but my brain is full of fic thoughts. Although I don't have any research or panic planned for the evening.

Micro-reviews
Jul. 7th, 2013 07:57 pmBooks I've read lately:
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale -- fun.
(I did say "micro" for a reason.)
Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix -- ( No detailed spoilers, but might count as hints. )

A Wonderfully Hallucinogenic Gas
Jan. 1st, 2013 06:12 pmTitle: A Wonderfully Hallucinogenic Gas
Warnings: Injury, angst, altered mental state?
Summary: While Klaus lies next to the chicken clank, Countess Marie has released her hallucinogens, and everybody is shouting about the Heterodynes' return.
Author's note: Dimo later mentions to Agatha that he gave the Baron first aid; these efforts are responsible for some of Klaus's perceptions here. I do not intend him to have been actively impersonating Bill Heterodyne at the time. Klaus is just really, really out of it. (And less intelligible than he imagines.)
( The Heterodynes are back! )

Happy New Year!
Jan. 1st, 2013 03:13 pmGiven my infrequent posting, the year-in-review LJ memes might not be terribly interesting, so I'm just going to wave hello to everybody.
I am still doing research IRL, writing fanfic periodically, and my updates are likely to continue ranging from haphazard to nonexistent. At some point I may or may not switch my username over to Schefflera.
Anyway, hello everybody, and may 2013 be a good year for us all.

DVD Commentaries meme
Sep. 27th, 2012 03:47 pmPick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
--Actually, I don't watch that many DVD commentaries, so who knows what you'll actually get. *g*
