In our house made of paper

This post is half pimpage and half a reminder to myself about the things I’ve signed up for and want/need to finish. Because, yeah, I sign up for a lot of things.

I have no self-control, it’s a problem.

+Het-Big Bang: Okay, this one I totally missed the deadline for already. It’s gone and past and everything was just posted a few days ago. But I’m determined to finish this story anyways, just to prove to myself that even if I can’t finish a big bang, I can still finish the story. And also, I really like the idea for the story.

It’s an AU Caroline/Klaus story set after 3x21. Klaus may not really be dead, but he’s haunting Caroline anyways, and he won’t stop until she wakes him up. It’s a story I’ve really wanted to write for a while now, because I love exploring the fucked up sides of Klaroline and I have a thing about dream manipulation and this story is full of it. I have a little over 17k and I’m so close to finishing, I just need to do it.

+cwbigbang: This one I highly encourage everyone to go sign up for, because I’m a co-mod and I said so. (Also our sign-up pages are kind of sad). It’s all shows on the CW new and old and a good amount of one’s associated with the CW due to the WB.

I’m still figuring out for sure what I want to write for this one, but I recently started an Amesia!Chloe fic for SV, an exploration of a plotline I read once that could have been but wasn't (but would have been amazing and full of Chlex-y goodness or at least that's how it is in my head) and I’m super excited about it (and for getting my Chloe muse back), so I’m thinking I'll be trying for this one.

+rare_bb: Rare pairings, rare fandoms, rare crossovers; if it’s rare, it’s included. And I’m a sucker for a rare anything.

This is my human!Caroline escaping Mystic Falls and dealing with the fallout by not really dealing with it at all (denial and Caroline are very close friends) but when she stumbles upon Alaric on campus, it changes everything story. I have over 11k in notes and snippets and if I can just form it into an actual story with a plot, I’ll be super happy. Also, I’ve wanted to write Caroline/Alaric for like ever, for reasons I can’t even explain to you.

+royaltystory: Pretty self-explanatory, royalty just has to play a part in the story, whether it’s in the past, the present, the future, or off in some galaxy far far away.

Mine is based around the line Klaus said in “Dangerous Liaisons” that the bracelet he gave to Caroline once belonged to a princess. In this story, that princess was her, going back and forth between Caroline of now and the Caroline of then, and it explains why Klaus fell so hard so fast for her.

+genderswapbb: I asked the mod and it allows for the switching of already established male or female characters into the other’s role, and this is an idea I love, so I couldn’t stop myself.

I’m going with an AU version of Smallville, where Tess Luthor comes to Smallville to run the plant and hits Chloe with her car and how canon changes with these two very different characters taking over the lead roles. (Clark becomes her best friend with a tendency to stick his foot in his mouth, Lois becomes the infamous green archer though I don’t know if we’ll get that far, and Oliver becomes Clark’s reporter cousin. Most of the other characters are still being figure out). I’ve had this idea for a while, so I’m excited to have a reason to force myself to work on it.


So this has been a post, mostly for me as reminder, but also to encourage someone other than me to go sign up for things and make me feel better about myself. So yeah, this has been a selfish post of me wanting to suck you all down with me. I’m sorry. But also, I’m really not.

Go and check out some big bangs! (Especially the CW one....)

Cleaning is so much harder than it should be. Like seriously, disney movies lie and try to make it look fun. But it isn't. And my back hurts. And so do my legs.

Also, don't be like me. Dust on a regular basis, because when you don't, well...let's just say its not fun.

So my paid account expired and I have no money to refund it and the amount of sad that makes me, is well, probably really sad in itself. But I'm going to miss all my beautiful icons and I keep forgetting about the ads and accidently clicking on them.

I might be in the need of ice cream later.

Life has kind of sucked recently, for lots of different reasons, but I owe lots of people comments and you'll get them. And I'm way behind on my f-list perusing, so at some point you might start getting random comments on random things. Just know that I love you my beautiful f-list and I'll get caught up eventually.

Also, I'm considering changing my default icon. Which is big for me, since I've had this one for like ever. Really its been years.

And I've been writing more lately, which makes me happy because I've been in a slump. But I have like 6k written for a story I started way back and it makes me all kinds of happy.

Also also, I'm not even entirely sure their was an actual point to this post. So if you've read it all, go you!

Lately, TVD has actually been making me pretty happy and giving me things I want. Even if I might be reading against the text to get there. But its made me want other things too. Things I will likely never get, except for maybe in fic if I'm lucky. But I still want them anyways.

( I will cause you nothing but misery )

So today is the day I'm supposed to have my vampirebigbang fic up. Actually I was supposed to have it posted on the 26th, but I had an allergic reaction on Wendesday and ended up having to go to the ER. It wasn't like crazy serious but it freaked me out a lot (I freak out easy but things like hives and swelling make it so much worse) and I've been on a bunch of drugs since that have me sleeping far more than normal. I think I missed most of Thursday. The mods were very nice and said to just try to post it by today, but that's just not going to happen. I haven't even touched the file since everything and there's a couple of really big and necessary scenes that I've barely even started writing.

Please give some love to delugedpapercup and the amazing fanmix she made me, please. She took the mess of a rough draft I sent her and made a wonderful mix that I've been listening to when writing. She deserves lots of love and I feel the worst about letting her down and not posting my story to go with it

I really am sorry delugedpapercup. I hope you know how much I loved it. And when I finally get my story finished, I promise to link to your fanmix.


And to make this post slightly more fun, I'll just leave this here:

In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick-or-treat" to this post and...well, you know the drill. Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy (pics of fave actors or pairings, one sentence fics, graphics, a few words why I'm glad to have you on my flist, etc. etc.).

The more "houses" to visit the more fun it'll be, so go ahead, open your journal and help spread the fun!

I'm currently working on a big bang and have to get my summary and rough draft in by tonight. And am still currently trying to get my act together, because that's just who I am. Right now I'm stressing about the title and summary. So I was hoping maybe my lovely lovely f-list could help me out. (And I'm so not against bribery)

Below is list of my current ideas for a title and if you could just tell me which one you like the best or catches your eye the most or even which one to avoid altogether, that would be awesome. INCREDIBLY AWESOME AND I'D LOVE YOU FOREVER! (If you want details, its a Caroline-centric fic for the tvd fandom, but really you don't have to be familar with the fandom. I'll take advice from anyone, titles always stress me out like crazy. Like I've had fics finished for days and have posted them because I can't come up with a title I like. And I'm already panicky because I have to turn my fic in and that means people other than me will read it. I know, issues, I have them.)

Title Options:

angel eyes on a devil’s face
cinderella's on her bedroom floor
for a while, I thought I was the princess
inside your porcelain fists, your palms begin to crack
once I wanted to be the greatest
she burns like the sun
this town is a magnet, it pulls us from the sky

Big thanks and hugs to anyone who comments!

So at like 7:30 tonight, I was dead tired. Like crazy tired. Even fell asleep for like twenty minutes, which was weird.

But now that its 1:00, and you know, past proper time to go to bed for a normal day, I'm wide awake. Super wide awake. Like lie down and your eyes spring open awake.  And working on a fic that'll probably never actualy write but I can't get out of my head, so I'm making notes anyways.Because, I figure I'm awake anyways.
 
Someone explain to my brain that this is not the proper way to do things. One in the morning is time for sleeping, not thinking.
