In our house made of paper

So this is my attempt to be more active this year with my LJ and post more. Because I kind of fail at that. So yay a bunch of random things!

+ I owe a bunch of people comments and I'm totally working on it, I promise, but I'm slow, prone to migraines, and have limited computer time lately. (Which makes me sad.) I'm also way behind on my F-list. If anyone posted anything awesome, let me know. ;D

+ I've been trying to write, but mostly I have a lot of unfinished things on my hard drive for a few different fandoms. But I have a mostly finished (I think) Chloe-centric fic that I might post soon, which will make me happy and be my first story posted of the year. But if anyone has any tricks about getting over writers block, please tell me them. I'll love you forever.

+ I usually don't rec things (though I should do that more), but I found this amazing AMAZING Chloe character study video set to "Human" by Christina Perri and everyone should go watch it and leave some love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcMB2FYyOoY

Its so beautifully done and the song fits Chloe perfectly and it has this wonderful segment on her and her relationship with her mother, something that's often ignored  but shouldn't be. And its just amazing. And if anyone ever wondered why I love this character so much, I feel like this video would explain it.

+ Apparently the HP fandom exploded recently. I was totally confused about what was going on for like a day, just knew that JKR had apparently made some comments. I do now know what the drama was all about. (I don't really have any big feelings about it all. Canon is canon, she's not going to rewrite the books. And I've shipped both over the years. So you know.) Despite the drama of it, it was kind of a nice reminder that the HP fandom is still going strong after so many years. HP was the first fandom I actively participated in (SV is the one I consider my first fandom, staying up late and reading fanfic I was probably too young for), the first one I posted a story in, where I got my first flame (and learned what a flame was), and learned what a beta was and got my first one. So really it introduced me to a lot of things. So its nice to see its still going so strong.

Also, I saw someone refer to this as JKRGate and it made me giggle. A lot.

+ I finally caught up with the last few episodes of Haven. A lot of awesome stuff and one sad thing. And now I'm wishing the new season would be here already and they haven't even started filming it yet. They got to get on that.

+ ( this is where I ramble about arrow a little bit. but mostly about thea. and walter. )

+ ( tvd talk, so more spoilers up to date )

+Also my sister bought me a SPN t-shirt and I'm wearing it and now panicking about what to buy her for her birthday that's coming up. She's way better at gift giving than I am.

Title: He Loves to Romance Them
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Pairing: Isobel/John
Rating: PG-13, references to underage sex
Summary John looked at her and saw a future, a happily ever after, with a white dress and little girls that looked like her. Isobel looked at him and just saw an ending. (Set pre-Series, but with spoilers up to season two.)
A/N: I wrote this last October, and when I signed up for the October-writing-challenge, I remembered it, and realized I had never posted it anywhere else. So here it is. (If I remember right, the prompt for this was mixtape, hence the references throughout.)

( Read more... )

Meme: Post a sentence/paragraph from every WIP you can find. No explanations allowed, just excerpts.

(Like the last time I did this, I totally stretched the sentence/paragraph thing, it’s more like excerpts, but you know whatever. I do what I want. And also, I’m ridiculously long winded when I write. Or talk. Sometimes my mother looks at me like “are you even breathing?” when I talk for too long.

Also the amount of unfinished projects on my computer is actually kind of sad. A lot of them epics that I'm sad I'll probably never finish. I need better follow through skills.)

( My hardrive is full of things that I've never finished )

Title: I Don't Want Your Crown
Recipient: misspopuri
Prompt: Tyler, Freewill
Author: lynzie914
Characters/Pairings: Tyler Lockwood, mentions of almost everyone else.
Word Count: 4195
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 (for language and mentions of abuse)
Spoilers: Spans season two up to the season three finale.
Summary: Freedom never comes without a price and sometimes chains don’t just come off. Instead they’re replaced with heavier, sturdier shackles that are that much harder to be rid of.
A/N: Written for the tvdfic_exchange. I’ve never written Tyler before, but something about this prompt wouldn’t let me do anything else, hopefully you like this and it’s what you were looking for. Big thanks to elenarain for being so incredibly nice and betaing for me last minute. I totally owe you one.


(  Sometimes it just felt easier to be angry. Most of the time it felt like he didn’t have a choice but to be angry. )

title: ain’t got no rainbow, ain’t got no cellar door
fandom: the vampire diaries
pairings: caroline/logan
summary: Logan Fell used to babysit her; it wasn’t like she was getting in a car with a stranger. She wasn’t that stupid. (Stefan and Damon don’t save her. Logan Fell kills Caroline. But then she wakes up and kind of wishes she hadn’t.)
warnings: dark!ship, mentions of past canon abuse
rating: t
word count: 3034
disclaimer: I don't own anything.
a/n: written for the prompt Caroline/Logan “I used to babysit you, Caroline” that I have saved on my computer but don’t remember where it came from. I’ve been wanting to write it since I found it and finally inspiration struck. I shouldn’t be working on anything but my big bang, but apparently I’m more skilled at procrastination then even I knew.

( He smiles again and she realizes it’s a ridiculous smile. The type super villains have in cartoons and bad movies. The kind he used every night on the news before he left. <br /><br />“She’s yours for the taking, Care Bear.” He tells her, “So go ahead. Take.” )

title: tape me up, then break me up
fandom: the vampire diaries
pairing: caroline/damon (and a very tiny mention of caroline/matt)
summary: She never really knows if she hates Damon or if she loves him. The two things often get confused in her mind. Set in the first half of season one.
rating: T
disclaimer: I don't own anything.
a/n: written for the waxing poetic multi-fandom comment ficathon, for this prompt: dear so-and-so, I’m sorry I couldn’t come to your party. dear so-and-so, I’m sorry i came to your party and seduced you and left you bruised and ruined, you poor sad thing. you want a better story. who wouldn’t

( Damon does more damage than all of those before him (the boys, her parents, Elena). He breaks her, sends her crashing to the floor and shattering completely. )

Title: Pockets Full of Stones
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Characters/Pairings: Elijah/Caroline/Klaus, mentions of Caroline/Tyler
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimers: I own nothing. Seriously, nothing. It's actually kind of sad.
Warnings: Spoilers up to 3x15 and then it veers off into its own canon. Kind of dark and definitely angsty. Minor character deaths. Morally dubious decisions that aren't directly addressed in the fic.
Words: 2,521
Summary: He knows why she is there, why she came to Niklaus of all people. Everything she had loved had been ripped from her, the last part of her old life ripped away by those she cared about, and now she just wants it all to end. She has a death wish and Klaus has always been happy to cater to all of her wishes.
Prompt: fly me to nowhere, it's better than somewhere; that's where I've been and nothing's changed (though really how this came from that, I don’t know)
Author’s Note: I don’t really know what this is, it started as one thing and then this just kind of came out. I was playing around with some different things, so things are out of chronological order and there is a ambiguity that is supposed to be there but I’m not sure how well it works. If it’s confusing, feel free to ask questions.
