Hello, whoever you are! I don't know how you got here, but I'm tickled that you're here now. The name's Heather, and yes, you can call me that. I'm a pasty little Irish redhead who's lived on the coast of South Carolina for most of my life, though recently, I've traded in the hot sun and refreshing ocean spray for slightly more somber gray skies and the sadistic weather gods that poke and laugh at the poor denizens of Ohio. And by recently, I mean seven years ago. Mostly, I collect obscure music from around the world and spend far too much time reading, writing, and yelling at my video games.

You can find me many places on the internet through various online aliases. hiza_chan has only made it this far because it's what everyone knows me as, and I'm convinced that if I change it people will be very, very confused. On Tumblr, FF.net, Delicious, and my writing journal I'm known as phantasmik. On Twitter and Ao3 I'm callunavulgari, which is thus far my favorite handle. I have a recommendations community that I share with faorism and calciseptine (who are the most fab people ever - more on this later) called lucidwiles.

Sadly, my journal is friend's only, though that can be rectified if you comment here. Then I will gladly friend you back once I'm sure you aren't a spam bot.

So, my previous masterlists (which had already been split into two parts) were getting a bit cramped, so I broke down and redid it. The fandoms that I frequently write for have their own sections, and the Misc. category are for the fandoms that I don't participate in that often. All the new stuff will be posted at the top, and from hereon out, they will be dated as well.

Crossovers/Fusions.

Avatar.
The Avengers.
Final Fantasy.
Fullmetal Alchemist.
Harry Potter.
Hetalia.
Homestuck.
Inception.
Kingdom Hearts.
Legend of Zelda.
Merlin.
Misc. Fandoms.
Naruto.
Once Upon a Time.
Percy Jackson & the Olympians
Persona.
Supernatural.
Teen Wolf.

I'm gonna try this dreamwidth thing one more time. Maybe this time around I won't be annoyed with everything other than the crosspost feature.

So yeah. Here's to first posts and all that good stuff. If any of you have a dreamwidth, I'm [personal profile] callunavulgari .

2013 Scrapbook! I was kind of bad about updating my 2012 one, but it was a handy way of keeping track of the fic I'd written at any rate, so here it is again! Let's hope I update it more this year. It's pretty empty right now because I've yet to really write any fic or read any books or watch many movies when I'm not just putting them on as I fall asleep or play many video games and well, you get the picture. So yay!

As a reminder---  Italicized titles = enjoyed muchly, bold titles = love, titles with an asterisk = OBSESSION and titles in brackets are re-watches/re-reads. And lastly, strikethough = DISLIKE. Adding a video game, personal writing, and a fanvid section. Since it takes me months to finish a game, I'm going to include the gameplay time along with which games I've played that month. Goals are: read at the very least ten new books this year, finish two video games, and beat last years total word count of 130k.

So remember my 2012 scrapbook? Yeah, so even though there are parts of it that I've failed at updating, it got too big. SO, July through hopefully the rest of this year will be here, and everything else will be back at the original.

Adding a video game, personal writing, and a fanvid section. Since it takes me months to finish a game, I'm going to include the gameplay time along with which games I've played that month. Only current goal is to read at the very least ten new books this year, and finish at least two of my video games.

2012 Scrapbook

So moogle62 is doing a scrapbook for 2012 in an attempt for better organization/etc. And- for some strange reason, it never occurred to me how good of an idea this was. So, because I am a total thief and can't come up with awesome ideas by myself, I am borrowing not only her idea, but also her rating system.  FAILURE, THY NAME IS HEATHER. Italicized titles = enjoyed muchly, bold titles = love, titles with an asterisk = OBSESSION and titles in brackets are re-watches/re-reads. And lastly, strikethough = DISLIKE. Adding a video game, personal writing, and a fanvid section. Since it takes me months to finish a game, I'm going to include the gameplay time along with which games I've played that month. Only current goal is to read at the very least ten new books this year, and finish at least two of my video games.

Okay, so change of plans in regards to the [info]khbigbang. Serial killer AU is still a go, but remember when I mentioned how I wanted to write a siren AU? Yeah, so I'm thinking about merging those two ideas and making this a giant clusterfuck of creepy mythological worlds where monsters are real, the world is exactly like ours, but with aspects of greek/mayan/aztec/egyptian whatever mythology mixed in. Minotaurs are real, domesticated into what amounts to guard dogs, etc. etc. So sirens are status symbols among the rich and powerful, because it was considered a way of proving your worth if you captured one and kept it as some form of 'pet'.

They aren't loyal to you, they're still deadly as all hell, and since they can walk on land if they like, you have to keep them caged in what amounts to a giant aquarium thing. A lot of this is inspired by this picture because the holding cell or whatever relates to this as far as size and atmosphere go. And I'm not even going to pretend that [info]fuzzy_paint didn't have some part in this, because her gorgeous TSN Siren AU will always be the main reason that I love siren!fic as much as I do. I mean, I'm a geek for shark week, and all that, but creepy sirens are my biggest weakness.

As far as the sirens themselves go, kind of like this. They have three rows of serrated shark-like teeth, and the particular breed that Roxas is would have something like a fin-blade along their forearms, plus venomous spines along the base of their spine.

Creepy sirens with membranes across their eyes, deadly, etc. etc. memo to me: rewatch all of shark week, because you want these more based off of sharks than giant dolphins. ANYHOW. Axel is some kind of minor creature, probably a half-something or another, whether it be some kind of demon or something else, but I know I don't want him completely human, just mostly. He's some lowly grunt of the rich guy who 'owns' Roxas. I think I want him as an assassin or something like, bodyguard + the help, etc. But he starts forming a weird friendship with Roxas through the glass of his prison, and eventually they escape and Roxas gets to the ocean, whatever whatever. They start going after the rich and powerful, because Axel likes to play with fire and Roxas likes the assholes because IDEK, they're crunchier or something.

...Do I sound crazy yet? I mean, writing siren fic in celebration of summer is all fair and well, but I'm feeling this world a lot more than I was the generic serial killer AU where my biggest plot device was that Axel is a math geek and ties imaginary numbers with the typical Kingdom Hearts canon of certain people having no hearts, so Axel kills only the people he consider to be 'imaginary' or not having hearts. Or something regarding the Fibonacci Sequence. But um. Yeah. Anyone wanna talk this over with me? Because the amount of world building that's gonna have to go into this fic is ridiculous.

So, my last day at the Olentangy store was on the seventh. Naturally, I celebrated this by getting deathly ill. As in, bedridden for days on end. That kind of deathly ill. So I've been pretty damn miserable, though Skyward Sword and various books have been keeping me entertained. And then, Mal's been a complete sweetheart. She will not leave my side at all. If I get up to shower, she lays outside the bathroom until I'm done, if I go downstairs to try for the computer she sits beside me. And if I'm on the computer for too long, she'll try to lead me back upstairs, purring plaintively until I follow her back to bed. My adorable sweetheart cat.

But yes, I actually celebrated my last day by purchasing an ingenuiTEA teapot, the Mycroft, Reichenbach Recovery, and TARDIS blends off of Adagio Teas, because I've always wanted to buy tea from there, but kept putting it off. I'm also interested in the Donovan and Katniss blends, because they also sound delicious. But I'm in love with slightly too-sweet tea, so I got sweet teas. I can't wait to try them. I also spoiled myself by buying a star projector and a mushroom nightlight, because there is not enough light in the guest bedroom I've been renting out. Which by the way, there is also that. So if you think you have my address and are planning on surprising me with something, you don't actually have my address anymore. So uh, contact me for that.

In other news, Hugo is a delightful movie and put me in one of the best moods I've been in for months, and since I'm pretty sick atm, this is quite the accomplishment. It's gorgeous though, and the score really makes the movie. Absolutely lovely. I've wanted to see the movie for awhile, but it wasn't until I saw the collection of kidlock pictures and this fantastic video featuring little!Sherlock and little!John, that I actually downloaded it. Also, this video is fantabulous.

I know I still owe fic, but hey, rules are rules. I need this if I want akitotsubaki to write me sweet, sweet Zuko/Aang. *cough* Also, I need to get out of this slump.

1. First 10 people to comment will get a free drabble from one of my fandoms. I might do something I'm not familiar with as long as you link me to a reference. Leave a pairing and a prompt please. (Also, if you pick Naruto, please stick to Itachi/Shisui? While I enjoy other pairings, I'm terrible when it comes to writing them.)
2. BUT I won't start writing until you offer 10 free sketches/drabbles in your own journal. Oh, who am I kidding. People are busy. Just go ahead and ask.

First, I would like to warn you that I started writing this entry on the 18th, so... yeah. There's that. Second, it is deceptively long. Those lj cuts just cannot be trusted.



So, last night (Monday the 17th) I picked up Catching Fire- thinking that I'd read a chapter or so and drift off to sleep? Yeah, see, that didn't happen. What DID happen is I marathon read the entire freaking thing between the hours of 5-9am. Yeah. Why I was trying to READ A BOOK in an attempt to put myself to sleep at five in the morning is beyond me. I have no excuses. And I don't feel like cutting so no spoilers but OH MY GOD, I LOVE FINNICK. I mean, I knew I would. I'd been spoiled enough about him that I knew he'd be a favorite character but holy crap, I loved him. Way more than I like any of the other characters and I don't even know why.

The books kind of annoy me in parts (my ear they reconstructed can hear the force field? Really, Katniss?) but again, I am astounded by how much I just COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. It just really reels you in- like, I'm not even gonna lie, I'm not the BIGGEST fan of Katniss. She could be a stronger character, and I think if the whole love triangle thing was out of the way she'd seem less shallow and Bella Swan-esque. (Okay, I'm sorry, comparing them was too much. These books are actually better than Twilight.) But she does damn well for a girl thrown into this kind of conflict- and again, I usually hate first person so much. Like, I usually can't even get into it unless it's written really well, and like- parts of this definitely are. There are some Mary Sue elements there, but they don't make up her character.

Anyway. I digress. FINNICK IS AWESOME. Now I have to go read Mockingjay so I don't keep myself awake again.

Annnd,  halcyon_iota   asked me a couple more questions from this meme, so here are those answers.

Q & ACollapse )


Lol, Repo/Hunger Games crossover would be kind of epic. Finished Mockingjay. (Tuesday the 18th) I was sadfaced. It's like clockwork, I swear. And.... have the second part of the 5000 question meme.

Part 2: Questions 101-200Collapse )

(Friday the 21st) It's one of those days- sun is shining, sky is blue, there are nice fluffy clouds and there are cats sleeping all around you because you are warm and you think, "Damn, it's gonna be a good day." And then you realize that the sunshine is deceptive, it's actually 11 degrees, and one of the cats has puked in your hair.

Also, I played through four basement levels of Re:CoM Rebirth/Reverse in like, two hours last night. Epic. Maybe if I finally finish CoM I can get around to finishing Math Days and Birth by Sleep.

And lastly, a fic meme, because I am still stuck in the land of writer's block. And I live for domestic fic. Also, heads up- this meme is kind of a meme to get me out of writers block so I can finish up that other Mistletoe meme, so I'm not ignoring it, I swear.

Give me a pairing, and then give me an everyday setting (coming home from work, waking up in the morning, going grocery shopping, etc.) and I'll write a short drabble involving said pairing in said situation. You can ask for pairings that have already been requested, and be as creative as you want with the situations!
