Wherein Cam Blames Something in the Water
May. 3rd, 2005 05:49 amAmazing Hobble shots - That's where stars are born. Sometimes, I'm reminded how much beauty there is the world. In a sunrise, in rain on trees, in the butterfly that just fluttered in my window. Life is beauty and sometimes I like to just... Be, you know? Walk under the Norwegian sky and be alive, nothing more and nothing less.
I always feel a bit like this at springtime. Must be the light after the winter or something. And maybe I'm just shallow, enjoying all this beauty. I like beautiful men, I like beautiful words, I like beautiful cats, I like beautiful icons. (Like this one, with a story title of mine even. I secretly covet more of those. I'm shallow and have delusions of ego, heh.)
Meanwhile, a thirteen year old girl denied abortion in Florida has sparked quite the debate. I guess it's not surprising this happens in Florida, but man, there has been a lot of controversial cases out of Florida of late. Is there something in the water there or something? And if there is, what can we do to get it out?
Norway cancels debt to Vietnam. Not that it was that much, but still a nice gesture.
Some CSI authors got annoyed at ff.net's recent rule announcement and wrote This Is Not a Songfic. I was amused. Granted, it'll probably be yanked, but... Hee. I'll take anything that isn't CSI badfic these days. There's so much badfic in the CSI category on ff.net I weep. Which reminds me of a meme I think I saw at
velocityofsound.
I will write a badfic drabble. Pick either the CSI, LotR or Harry Potter fandom. Give me a character or a pairing, and an object or a piece of dialogue to include as well. (Or a genre, if you're so inclined.)
I thought I'd add to the badfic load. Clearly, there's something in the water here too.
And I just had a decidedly odd IM convo with someone who claimed to be from GAFF and wanted to know if it was okay to post RPF there. *blinks* Why am I being asked, anyway? I'm not a GAFF celebrity and certainly not The Site Guru. Ah well. I guess I got eeeny-meeny'ed.
ETA: Seriously, there ain't enough WTF in the world. And then some

We could try boiling it. If that doesn't work, we could always try praying to one of the many deities associated with water.

"The hell with just Baby Jesus, the whole divine nursery is crying."
I believe that would earn Whuthefuckerin fifty house points, were this in the Potter fandom. Thank gods I have yet to encounter a Potterverse Suethor that bad. Crazed LotR Suethors, yes, but I take pride in my Potter badfic n00b-ness.

Date: 2005-05-03 08:13 am (UTC)They think she's too immature to make the decision to have an abortion, yet they expect her to have a child? An act which calls for more maturity than any other? WTF, yo. My state is messed up.
They've passed an amendment that makes it illegal for a minor to get an abortion in Florida without parental consent. I fought it, of course, but when you live in the heart of Conservative Republican Southern Baptism, there's only so much you can do.
Another interesting tidbit about just how screwed up the Florida government is: In defense of the law we have here that says gay people can't adopt, the governer, Jeb Bush, stated that children in our childcare system are already traumatized enough by it that we shouldn't put them into a home situation where they would be traumatized more by the family situation.
Which made me say "So, you toss them right back into this traumatizing childcare system rather than place them in a house where they're in danger of seeing two men kiss?"
And he was right about the childcare system being traumatizing, anyway. Two of my best friends were under the care of the state for years a few years back, and Mom nearly became a foster parent just so that she could get them out of it.

Date: 2005-05-03 08:17 am (UTC)I would love a badfic with wildly OC Brass, Grissom, and Doc Robbins. And a rumcake. The temptation to ask for Wonder Vagina was great, but I don't think we should subject any more people to that. ;)
(Rage over the 13 year old girl. Blinding rage over the entire situation.)

LotR, Galadriel and Celeborn, and a gargoyle.
This should be interesting.

A Bad Ron-Bashing Fic
Date: 2005-05-04 08:34 am (UTC)"Oh noes. Ron has turned into an umbrella again," Herm said sadly.
"Flat Cat this time," Harry muttered. Ron was frequently jealous of Harry and Herm's true and pure love and liked to use hedwig to spy. But since Hedwig was an animagus Sirius returned to life, this often went badly and Ron got turned into lots of things. He never understood why, since he was stupid.
"Waht shall we do this time?" asked Harry. Herm smiled and kissed him on the nose.
"We could try boiling it. If that doesn't work, we could always try praying to one of the many deities associated with water. I want him to get wet."
"He already is a wet fish," said Harry, who had always hated Ron, since Ron was just a leech of Harry's fame and Draco was the true friend.
The pair laughed as Hedwig flew on, the umbrella seething.

Date: 2005-05-04 08:41 am (UTC)As he walked, his perfect pools of blue shed a perfect single tears. Celeborn was unhappy. All Galadriel wanted him for was to donate his lifegiving sperm and have more children. Celeborn wanted someone to understand him for him, to listen to his singing and sleep under trees. But ever since a little elfling, Celeborn had been told he was meant to marry Galadriel and he hadn't wanted to disappoint his parents.
In the forest, he came upon a gargoyle and he leaned against it.
"Woe is me," said Celeborn saidly, "for I am unhappy. I dare not speak the name of my true love, whose dark hair has enspelled me."
"Dare you not?" said the gargoyle and Celeborn gasped delicately.
"I dare! Elrond!"
Fo 'lo, the gargoyle was truly Elrond in disguise and the pair run away to have hot hot sex the rest of their lives and leave the icky female.

Date: 2005-05-04 08:49 am (UTC)"I hope bottled mineral water is safe, or tea for that matter," he said conversionally to the young, nubile brunette next to him.
"It's not funny!" Sara snapped at him.
"Losing your lovepotion is funny," Greg insisted. "How can you forget what you put it in?"
"I was ogling Ecklie's ass."
"That is firm and fine," Greg admitted. "No, it's not in this cola."
"Dammit!" Sara hissed. "I better get in touch with Harry at Hogwarts, he'll tell me how to find it."
Greg watched her leave, then sneakily pulled up the coffee pot. Oh yes. It was going to be a great lunch break.

Not WonderVagina, but WonderBaby
Date: 2005-05-04 09:00 am (UTC)"I prefer Britney," Robbins replied. "How about you, Gil my love?"
The entomogilist giggled. "You know I like Pink. She sung for us that night we made love in the morgue."
Brass smiled. They always invited him to watch, something he found very endearing. He hoped they would make him Godfather soon.
As the three were lost in the power of love, Catherine walked by and halted as she took in the scene and a horrible thought struck her.
"How much rum was in that rumcake?" she wondered aloud. Ah well. There was probably not enough to hurt Gil's widdle baby, due any day now.
She hoped to be Godmother.
The Manhole of Love
Date: 2005-05-04 09:12 am (UTC)"May I help you, fair maiden? I am Legolas Greenleaf, Prince of Mirkwood, Archer Extraordinaire."
The blonde looked confused up at him. "I'm Catherine. I... I fell from the sky."
"It musteth be the Valar dropping you into my life," said Legolas, for he was already struck by love.
"No, it was an open manhole," Catherine replied, still staring up.
"The manhole of destiny," proclaimed Legolas and swept her up on his horse to take her home to his father and declare his desire to marry this fairest of all fair creatures.
Sadly for Legolas, a dark man swept the fair maiden away the night before the wedding, leaving Legolas brokenhearted. Until he met another fair blond and Greg and Legolas lived happily ever after.

aNd Harry was killed by Ron, who was herm and draco's child from the past and voldemort turned to good now that harry wasn't mindcontrolling him anymro.

Date: 2005-05-04 12:39 pm (UTC)35 orgasms in one week? That's not a sex addiction, that's the death penalty. At least he used lube, right? Can you even imagine?
Okay, pretend I didn't ask that.
That's a great GAFF post. Brava! Also funny, scrolling down the forum and there is a thread that says "Spock sucks his own cock!" or something. HEEEEEEE. Now that sounds like a fic. Or a brain-bleaching, table for one.
Re: Not WonderVagina, but WonderBaby
Date: 2005-05-04 01:05 pm (UTC)Me thinks Grissom alone managed to drive the price on lube up, because damn... And if he went to brothels that much, wouldn't the police eventually find out? There goes that career.
And believe me, after classic horrors like My Inner Life and Celebrian, getting through that fic was nothing.
