I can has AO3 :3 Which I have christened with new fic. >.> Possibly the last new fic for a while, since I am currently totally *_* for Fullmetal Alchemist and even more than HnG it's a fandom I feel little need to write for.

In general updates, I am nearly done with holiday shopping and have posted all my cards that require posting, and the first batch of my Greetings Card Campaign cards. Still need to stick stamps on the rest of those, and do cards for work people. I'm hoping something I ordered arrives in time (it's been a mad saga of the seller being in hospital - funnily enough, just down the road), and I still have to get something for my brother, who is a moron who starts wishlist emails with 'OK suckers' and is now being prosecuted for running a red light. :| Oh, and I got my dad inflatable hair. You totally would have too.

Castle in the Air, Diana Wynne Jones

Oh boy, this was so cute! Sophie and Howl have to be one of the most adorable couples in literature and I was excited to see what befell them. I'm pretty dumb, so most of the twists came as a total surprise.

Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift

I was informed that my disgust with The Dice Man was unjustified because it is a satire. I've long known Swift to be the pre-eminent satirist - do correct me if I'm mistaken - and have come to the conclusion that satire is based on three main points:

One: obsession with bodily emissions and functions, whether they be sexual or excretory;
Two: implicit permission to say terrible and disgusting things and moreover present them as acceptable;
Three: extreme boredom for the reader.

( A fairly immodest proposal, perhaps? )

So -

I have been planning a little Christmas gift for those on my lj. (A more accurate description would be 'festering it like a carbuncle', but let's not dwell on trivialities.) However, it needs polishing. (Or lancing.) Therefore, I ask you to tell me, please, what you would call a rockstar? I hear Jimi Hendrix is taken, equally Mick Jagger. Jarrah told me Barry is a terrible name for a rockstar. I'm inclined to agree - it was only a placeholder name until I threw myself on the mercy of lj.

Poll #1499735 What's in a name?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 13

Male Rockstar Names

The 'winning' answer will receive the wonderful prize of my endless gratitude and a mention in the author's notes. Enticing, non?

Hello all!

As we may have mentioned earlier, I (Em1) has been working on a Fanmade playlist for IR for the past few months and while the cover has not been completed yet(our resident artist is in the same position as us, exams and school shit), I have made the executive decision to post the link to mediafire where the entire 27 tracks can be found. All the music is found on Freeplaymusic.com and arranged by Em1. The track numbers are underneath the file names.

And without further ado...

Sorry this is X-posted.

Having just finished Tsubasa, I was wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of a Donuts fic dealing with a certain plot twist from there.
