So this is how a hangover feels at 9 a.m....

[misscam]

Looks like the worst preidctions of the damage hurricane Katrina would do have no come to pass. Still, it has done a fair bit of it. More details here Oil prices have also been affected.

The Earth has been fairly testy of late, with hurricanes and the tsunami and earthquakes, floods and droughts and other nastiness. One can wonder how much of this is just natural temperament and how much might be human influenced. I am not an expert on these things, but I do wonder. (NORA predicts an above-normal hurricane season. Bugger.)

In today's cuteness, we bring you... Cats in Sinks

In today's most amusing badfic mispelling, we bring you... “What the fuck” is all Warrick could otter out

My doc's put me on some light sleeping pill / mild aid against depression due to my lack of sleeping well and with all the shit that has happened of late and I woke up this morning feeling like I had a huge hangover. I've never been on anything but brief antibiotics cures before and this is a rather weird new experience. But at least I did sleep.

A meme:
First, write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions. You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.

1. Lord Vetinari
2. Warrick Brown
3. Gimli
4. Gil Grissom
5. Arthur Dent
6. Catherine Brown
7. Delenn
8. Legolas
9. Sara Sidle
10. Galadriel
11. Lord Elrond
12. Fitzwilliam Darcy

Have you ever read a Six (Catherine)/Eleven (Elrond) fic? Do you want to?
Yes. If only to see the trainwreck as the Lord of Rivendell tries to cope with a former stripper turned criminalist.

Do you think Four (Grissom) is hot? How hot?
Semi. He's not as hot as he once was in looks perhaps, but his brain is still all good. Mmm. Smart men.

What would happen if Twelve (Darcy) got Eight (Legolas) pregnant?
The attractiveness of the child would explode the Universe.

Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine (Sara)?
Travel Light by kerlin and Dying on the Vine by November.

Would Two (Warrick) and Six (Catherine) make a good couple?
Yes. Is one of my preferred pairings, in fact. Yay.

Five (Arthur)/Nine (Sara) or Five (Arthur)/Ten (Galadriel)? Why?
Arthur and Sara. She'd get high on tea on a visit to England and Arthur would help her invent English insults about Grissom. They're at least of the same species.

What would happen if Seven (Delenn) walked in on Two (Warrick) and Twelve (Darcy) having sex?
She'd wonder what curious Earth custom this was and also why it was turning her on to watch.

Make up a summary for a Three (Gimli) /Ten (Galadriel) fic.
"... but my love is given to the Morning. And my heart forebodes that soon it will pass away for ever." Many tales are told of Gimli the Dwarf and the love he held for Lady Galadriel and the esteem she gave to him. But no tale speaks of their last meeting in Middle-earth, as one Age came to a bittersweet end.

Is there any such thing as One (Lord Vetinari)/Eight (Legolas) fluff?
My sanity sincerly hopes not.

Suggest a title for a Seven (Delenn)/Twelve (Darcy) hurt/comfort fic.
Minbaru Medicine

What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four (Grissom) to deflower One (Lord Vetinari)?
L-Space and bugs.

Does anyone on your friends list read Seven (Delenn) slash?
Maybe.

Does anyone on your friends list read Three (Gimli) het?
Plenty of them, since they've read OFUM.

Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven (Elrond)?
Oh yes.

Would anyone on your friends list write Two (Warrick)/Four (Grissom)/Five (Arthur)?
I know several mad enough to try, yes.

What might Ten (Galadriel) scream at a moment of great passion?
"Oh Valar!" (Shut up.)

If you wrote a song-fic about Eight (Legolas), which song would you choose?
"Bridges" by Dispatch.

If you wrote a One(Lord Vetinari)/Six (Catherine)/Twelve (Darcy) fic, what would the warnings be?
May be hazardous to sanity.

What might be a good pick-up line for Two (Warrick) to use on Ten (Galdriel)?
"So how do we make the naughtier visions of your mirror come true anyway?"

When was the last time you read a fic about Five (Arthur)?
Last week.

My answers for that meme brought some disturbing images to the mind.

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

“What the fuck” is all Warrick could otter out
O______________o

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

That meme is adorable (I especially loved the answer about Galadriel's passion *grins*)

And the Finnmark looks magnificent. I would give anything for one of these nicely colored houses, a silent study, food service and unlimited internet access for ... two months? ALL ALONE?

*deep longing sigh*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. Vetinari/Legolas? Oh dear.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Too many people about, huh? (Which incidentally is not a problem in Finmark.)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

CSI fanfic - now with small marine mammals.

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

All at once, I imagined Warrick vomiting up an otter.

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

Yes. Three kids and a household and the laundry from 14 days of a family holiday, and a novel to write (and fanfiction to finish before I can start the novel).

Get me outta here. Grmbl.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Now I want to know how it got down there in the first place.

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

A weird Chinese dish Catherine made him try?

Where did THAT come from...?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I can't offer alien abduction - maybe moose abduction, keeping you for observational studies in a forest in Norway somewhere?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

A random C/W plotbunny? :P

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

Perhaps... ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*feeds it*

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

Seriously? You want me to continue on of how Warrick ate an otter, only to vote it back up? Wouldn't the Animal Rights protection group be all over my ass after this?

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

Sounds great. *smiles*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

All the more entertainment for me :P:P

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

You'll be one my side when I'm in court, right? Ooh, I need a good lawyer..

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

Wow. I got a Grissom/Dr Who/House fic as answer to question 7. *drools*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

But of course. I'll bribe teh judge for you.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*offers tissue*

Heya, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen icon.

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad I have you on my side.

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I love the film- it's so exaggerated and fun, and full of explosions and cool sets.

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

And just think, we'll be able to see a nice little replica of that collision in about 5 billion years!

I like the badfic spelling. Maybe s/h/it was trying to spell "stutter"?


I've seen that meme before; it's evil. Hellspawn memes are all the rage now.

[honorh.livejournal.com]

Now I want to see that Gimli/Galadriel fic. May the Nuzgul give you no rest until you write it.

Also, the "Cats in Sinks" page? Adorable!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I have it on DVD, shockingly enough.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I think utter is more likely.

Indeed we will - when the Andromeda galaxy meets ours. There'll be a show.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Why would I write such an evil thing? *bats away Nuzgul*

Kittens are almost always adorable.

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

Though the planet probably won't be around to watch.

[herbgurl82.livejournal.com]

Hello Cam. I am Meg, and a poster at GAFF (same username as my LJ). I ran across your journal, and have decided to friend you. Hope you don't mind.
Adorable cats in sinks link by the way. :-)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Not at all. This is an open sort of LJ. Knock yourself out.

Kittens are always adorable. Sinks are just a bonus.
