Welcome to 2010! I hope it brings joy and laughter and good things to all. Now, a bit about the state of me. :D

Last January, I signed up for findyourwords, choosing a target of 50k for the year. I didn't quite make it, for various and sundry mostly family-related reasons, but I got close enough to put a smile on my face:


That is almost as much as I wrote in the last two years combined: 2007=25k, 2008=22k. *boggles*

So, I've decided to sign up for it again, and have once again chosen 50k, but now I'm looking at 75k and thinking... it's only just over 200 words a day, self, you know you can do it. And I have until the end of January to change my mind. *headdesk*

literati and I also set a reading target of 33 books for last year, and while she made it with whole days to spare, I didn't quite hit that target either (30/33 = 91%). Also, partway into the year, I convinced her that twelve comics equal one book, so the majority of my total 'book' count is actually made up of DC comic runs and major comic events.

30 / 33
(91%)

2010's target is 40 'books', and it's going to be even more comic-filled and full of pretty pictures and speech bubbles. And this whole comic book addiction is all suki_blue's fault. :D

It really doesn't feel like six years since I read my first Spander, Alexandria Brown's Waiting Here. Now, six years and countless fandoms later, I've never been happier and had so many wonderful friends. *smooches you all*

And so I celebrate with fic. :D

( Five Things Spike Gave Up After Getting Involved With Xander Harris )

Today is my 6th LJversary! On this day in 2003, darkhavens came into this world on wobbly legs with a shifty look in her eyes. And in almost no time at all, there was porn. :D

In celebration of this auspicious occasion, I decided that I should revisit my first love, Spander. I didn't quite manage porn, but there's sexin' in there, if you squint. ;)

Thanks to a wonderful donor (who shall remain nameless so as to protect them from their flist), I have a Dreamwidth account: darkhavens.

(NB: I am not leaving LJ. Not unless they kick me out. I have comms to run and a flist to obsess over!)

As per the donor's request, I have created a bloodclaim over there, which will become operational once I've imported everything and made sure I haven't cocked it up. *g*

I have also created slashthedrabble and slashtheimage, and new prompts will be cross-posted to both LJ and DW (so I don't get confused *g*).

Way back in January, once again staring at an empty page in MSWord, I decided to do something drastic: I signed up for findyourwords, choosing 50,000 as my target wordcount for the year 2009. That's more than I've written in the last two years combined.Wordcounts (posted fic only): 2006=53k, 2007=25k, 2008=22k. EEP!

I then continued staring blankly at various empty pages until March, when I discovered comment_fic and became addicted. A couple of days ago, 6 weeks on from word one, I broke the 10k barrier and decided to get myself a widget to celebrate:



*hugs you all and twirls*

Notes: cjmarlowe wanted Rebel Without a Cause, Jim/Plato, visions of the future (yes, comment_fic yet again *g*), and I wanted to see it too, but I hadn't seen the movie in years. But it wouldn't leave me alone, so I found and read the script while acquiring the movie, and then I started to write a tiny little 'fix' for the ending while watching the last five minutes over and over again...

Today's theme at comment_fic has been 'Three sentences'. You could answer as many prompts as you wanted to, but only in three sentences. There are a lot of short, delicious little snippets over there.

And then there's me, who can apparently squeeze 200 words into those three sentences, with some reckless abuse of commas and semicolons, with the occasional non-semi colon for variety.

Below are nine ficbits in four fandoms, two of them I have never written in before, though I do watch the shows. I have no excuse, no clue what happened, but it was fun.

( (Supernatural, Sam/Dean, car, NC17) - Unusually Exhibitionistic Impromptu Roadside Sexcapades )

( (Supernatural, Sam/Dean, hug, G) - Until The Struggling Stops )

( (Supernatural, Dean/Sam, final, G) - No Great Flash of Revelation )

Notes: Written for andrea_deer's prompt of X-Files, Mulder/Krycek, speaking Russian, at comment_fic, helped along by image prompt #011 at slashtheimage (see below), which reminded me so much of Krycek: drowning in black oil and despair. Lastly, dedicated to literati, who can be entirely blamed for this because she created the M/K icon that caught my eye and made me read the prompt in the first place. :P
