Day 7 - In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Drop a link to your wish-list in this post. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

1)More Bob Bryar/Ryan Ross fanfic. Does that pairing make sense? No. Do I care? No. My dearest wish is for "we both are now ex-band guys, lets bond and then fall in love fic" OR sound guy!Bob teching for Panic and them falling in love that way. I just love them. It makes no sense. Dont care.

2)Hooker!Pete Wentz/Virgin!Patrick Stump fanfic - Patrick gets a hooker because he's tired of being a virgin. But Pete's so good that he keeps going back and despite all professionalism, Pete ends up falling for his client. WANTS THIS!

3)Suits fic, Mike/Harvey - Harvey is a powerful BAMF out in the world but he's submissive as hell in bed. Mike learns how to top for him because he's willing to do anything for Harvey and also he has the knack, deep down. I havent asked for this more than one place because its the polar opposite of what most people think about Suits and this pairing.

Day 5 - In your own space, share something non-fannish you are passionate about with your fannish friends.

I dont have much actually. *frowns* My life is pretty fandom-focused in terms of passions. But I managed to think of 1.

Passover. Every Passover, my holiday rolls around and life gets more interesting and intense for about two days because there's the Seder. I've taken an active part in putting it together and/or done it myself and led the service myself every year since 2006. I have people over. I cook. I organize. I managed to pull it off in dorm kitchens and in foreign countries and its something I'm unbelievably proud of and passionate about. I love my faith, I love my culture, and I never feel more Jewish than putting together or participating in the Seder.

Snowflake Challenge - Day Two
In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

Paradox Series Podfic - Sherlock(BBC) - So, podfic doesnt get enough love. It's a tremendous amount of work and the volume of feedback podficcers get relative to the amount of work they put in is inverse proprotional. This is a long complicated series written by wordstrings and podficced by not one, not two, but three different podficcers: pandarus, bronwyn and revolutionaryjo. The source material is explosive, complex, layered, lush, lovely, painful, sexy, sad, hopeful, romantic and completely mad. The readings elevate the already exceptional source material into something that is alive. You can feel John and Sherlock because the readings give them life and air. It's fantastic and everyone should not only listen - but go tell the readers how GREAT they did.

I've Got Your Words In Me by eleanor_lavish - Avengers - Clint Barton/Phil Coulson - You guys, oh my god. Oh my god you guys. So, to me? This is THE Hawkeye/Coulson story. She takes one fantastic line from Iron-man 2 "I will taze you and watch Supernanny while you drool into the carpet." and turns it into a story that is a slow burn over reality tv and shared respect and SHIELD hijinks. Oh, and then it gets hot and sweet and just. My heart you guys. This made me ship it. COME ON PEOPLE! JOIN THE DARK SIDE, CLINT HAS COOKIES!

smallacts (AO3)- Everything she has ever written ever. No, you guys, seriously. Listen okay? She wrote a Time Traveler's Wife AU for Harvey/Mike of Suits. She wrote universe switch ala Fringe with an Arthurnate for Inception. She wrote Charles and Erik falling in love in Prague before Charles goes to Oxford and then another one where they find each other again. Everything is wonderful and nothing hurts when you read her stuff. GO GO!

ALL THE THINGS!!!

♥So, the new LJ format sucks I hear? guest_age made me a layout like...a year ago and so I dont actually see any of the changes? I hear if you go to ?=light it goes back to almost-normal. Not a fix but temporary solution for you guys who are dealing with it atm?

♥HANNUKAH IS HERE! Argh, consumerist holiday is consumerist but that said - omg you guys. THE PRESENTS. I DONT KNOW HOW TO DEAL! I'M SWIMMING IN GRATITUDE! THINGS CAME IN THE MAIL! THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I WANT TO CRY!
Thank yous, in order of arrival by mail:
-jankato thank you so so so SO much for the Venture Bros DVDs. You didnt have to do that. You did it anyway. I cant deal with how wonderful that gesture was and just thinking about your generousity makes me tear up. ( Here is a picture of me with your present under the cut )

-trcunning thank you for the little bag. IT HAS BOB BRYAR ON ONE SIDE AND RYAN ROSS ON THE OTHER! Guys, you need to click and see this. She painted them. Bob is so BOBLIKE and Ryan is in FULL PRISONVERSE MAKE UP! It's beautiful. IDK what I'm going to use it for but I cant stand how gorgeous it is. My pass out from loving it so hard. Fair warning. trcunning clearly put a lot of work into it.">Click here to see it - which you should because its awesome and trcunning clearly put a lot of work into it.


-isweedan is making my Hanukkah dreams come true via podfic. If you havent heard how awesome her podficcing is? Go to her journal and listen to some of it. Her voice is awesome and sometimes you can hear her smiling through her voice and it is THE MOST CHARMING THING ON PLANET EARTH! Plus, she's quite good at characters. So just - go now. You wont regret it.
-guest_age got me Scott Pilgrim vs The World because its the best comic movie ever made. I'm sorry Batman/Xmen/Avengers people. All of those are awesome, but they're not as quirky and perfect as Scott Pilgrim - which even has Captain America IN IT! Magical!

♥My little sister Hillary is in town. This is stressful as hell but also good? I love her a lot but dear god she makes me so tired and wears me out because she is a difficult human being. She is funny and fascinating but difficult. Wouldn't be the holidays without that would it? However she did get me THE CUTEST LAPTOP BAG IN ALL OF THE LAND THAT HAS A NEON PINK KITTY ON IT and a sparkly Hello Kitty case for my droid with the British flag on it. Both items are SUPER CUTE and you can ( see them here. )

Yeah. My sister won at Hannukah in my family this year. Lol.

♥Speaking of Hannukah - Conan O'Brien is trying destroy your soul through the most perverse Menorah OF ALL TIME. Click here. Your morbid curiosity wants you to.

♥The new hospital is...interesting? They're all about whole body health and I think I'm covertly terrified of truly healing. Dont tell my mom? /o\

♥Graduation! Turns out, my paperwork never made it to FSU so technically I havent graduated yet - even though I walked in August. So, my superwoman-levels-of-awesome ally in the Dean of Undergraduate Students office pulled some strings and moved some papers and now the Official Paperwork has me graduating university in January of 2012. Do you know what this means? It means that when I apply for jobs, I dont have to account for why there's a massive gap in my work from October to Whenever I finish my psychiatric treatment. I wasnt working because I hadnt graduated yet! BEST! HANNUKAH PRESENT! OF ALL!

So. Um, how are yall?

( Part 1 )

Tomorrow is my first day at the new day hospital - Skyland Trail. I have a vague idea what to expect but not really so I'm pretty damn nervous about it. But it's going to be good. I'm sure of it - I just dont want to dwell on it. So as a destraction, I threw my name in the ring over at the Anonymous Holiday Love meme and my thread is here. I could use the love - but then cant we all :D.

Also, I gathered up responses to the domestic meme so that you can read them if you like:

Waiting in the Sky-verse Mikey/Gerard for desfinado
Frank/Gerard for morebliss
Cakeverse Gerard/Brian for turlough
Hope He Is A Gentleman-verse Pete/Patrick for belleweather
Mike/Harvey for liketheroad
Slideverse Mikey/Pete for turps33

This is my last week at Ridgeview Day Hospital. After that I'll probably be transfering to a different, longer term day program but its still uncertain. I'm trying not to think about this!

So in the grand tradition of tabula_x_rasa, tuesdaysgone, jezrana and mizubyte who I stole it from - the DVD commentary meme! I am a fan of navel-gazing memes especially since I am in fact meant to be working on Other Things. I'll answer DVD commentary/Q&A type questions about my fic if anyone wants to ask them. My masterlist is up to date on bandom minus comment fic type stories (one day I will fix this) but the fanfic tag on my LJ will take you to deeper and darker places like my Entourage fic or my older and dustier stories from long past ala The OC or Drake and Josh. Anyway, yeah. Please to be asking questions yall? I'm stuck on what I should be doing and memes like this almost always loosen me up. YOURE DOING A GOOD DEED IF YOU PLAY! :D

Also - completely unconnected to this meme or my emotional state in regards to treatment: Lets reflect for a moment that we live in a world where My Chem(the group English newspapers accused of being a suicide-encouraging death cult) does a song on Yo Gabba Gabba about how everyone is special. Life is lovely isnt it?

Think of this as a template. If you want to skip a question, go ahead. If you want to add your own questions or just ramble on about bandom or fanfiction, feel free! Just do a podcast or a voice post or whatever you can to get your voice on the internets for all of us to hear.

1. What's your username and is there a story behind it?
2. Where are you from and where do you live now?
3. What are you wearing? Yes, I am hitting on you.
4. How long have you been in bandom? How did you get into it?
5. Which bands are your favorites?
6. Which band members are your favorites?
7. Have you seen any of them in concert? Any fun stories or memories to share?
8. Do you have an OTP? What is it, and why do you love it?
9. What story do you wish someone would write?
10. Are you working on something for bandom right now? Tell us a little bit about it.
11. You've got fic open somewhere on your computer right now, don't lie. So go to one of your open tabs or word documents or whatever, and read us a couple of lines.
12. Say these words: Iero, haberdashery, LOLcat, flist, dirigible, halcyon, nemesis, ephemeral, languorous

So, my psychiatric day hospital is having a Family Workshop next week. This is a big thing - it lasts four days and everyone at the hospital says that its a huge chance to heal. I've been working through my case worker Paul and family therapist Stephanie for two weeks trying to make in roads with my dad. Long story short - Paul spoke to my dad again today and my dad isnt coming to family workshop.

This isn't unexpected but it feels like he doesnt care enough to drive up here and try to make things better with professionals.

I feel like this horrible prickly THING. I'm just feeling all wounded right now. I just...he said that he cared? He always turns the fights we have around that they're my fault for shutting down because he claims that he wants us to have a relationship, that its in my hands if we want to fix it. But the thing is Family Workshop could help fix it and he wont do it.

He didn't even say why he wouldn't come really. He talked to Paul and apparently said that he's "a phone call away" but that he wouldnt do this and I'm like sitting there feeling like I got hit in the face with a brick because Family Workshop is run by an ENTIRE HOSPITAL whose jobs it is to make family relationships better and to heal people psychologically. Thats what they get paid to do. Its their careers, what they exist for and he says he wants things to get better but if THAT were true then he would come to this workshop run by people whose job it is to help people and their relationships get BETTER.

I just...PHP therapy itself is rough. This, though, its like - I dont even really have words for it. It just hurts. I just hurt. I wish my dad couldnt do this to me anymore but he can. I'm trying to feel my feelings because - therapy and there's already so much else that happened this week but god. Hurts. I'm exhausted every single day and today is just a capper.

So, yeah. Anyway. There's a love meme going on over here. I could really use some right now.
