Because I don't think I'd actually made this announcement... I've now officially transfered all creative writing to both shadowenangel and shadowen (Insane journal) with indexes found here and here. shadowenmagic is now officially decommissioned, though I'm not taking it down or anything, just not using it.

In other news, my requests are AWESOME and I need to get them written so that I can succumb to the FMA bunny that is EATING MY BRAIN. Yay for alternate-reality historical fiction with anime characters AND social commentary.

On the RL front, I didn't get into Teach for America, but I did get into the China Program, so it looks like I'll be spending next year in Shenzhen, right across the bay from Hong Kong. My Totally Awesome Sociology Professor (who is Awesome enough to get her owns capital letters) wants me to act as her research assistant while I'm there and to put me in contact with a friend of hers who is studying youth subcultures in Hong Kong. And then she bragged about me to the department chair. ^___^

For the sake of convenience, I'm going to be consolidating my two journals, which means that the bulk of the writing posted on this journal will be reposted to my RL journal (shadowenangel), and all subsequent fic, etc. will pop up over there. I'm not going to delete this journal, so any links you have should be good for a while, but you may want to update them once I get the index in place.

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "Five things Octavian and Livia plot to do dirty in the Senate" or "Five ways Liz would break up with Max"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun!

For a list of explored fandoms, see the index.

I'll finish this story eventually, I promise. Right now, I'm busy writing a progressive nervous breakdown.

I'm working on an original short story that's looking to be much longer than and very different from my previous stuff. Currently a little sketchy on this one, but we'll see. In the course of writing the first part, however, (there's three parts, you see) I inadvertently wrote The Best Paragraph Ever, and, since I know you wait with bated breath for my next post (*sarcasm*), here's a cookie:

I would swear there was music in the black that washed over me, the sound and fury of synapses fighting their last brawl. It may have been angel choirs singing a great welcome, but it sure sounded like Elvis.

give me your lips
and I will draw from them such music
that celestial choirs will look on us with envy.

give me your heart
and I will build for it a shrine of my own flesh;
I will bed it on white petals
from roses grown wild in winter.

give me your eyes
and I will show you joy.

give me your hand
and I will guide you into me.

give me your self
and I will make it my self

for we are not bridges, but continents
merging into mountains.

we are worlds spinning,
colliding at last in the cross of our orbits.

we are sea and sky.

we are sand.

PS: the current music is totally an accident and has nothing to do with the fic...

The latest issue of monitor_duty linked to 4purposes, a challenge claim community with prompts for each of the four seasons (info here). I thought it sounded really cool, so I'm throwing it at you, my lovely flist, and telling you to join, post, and be merry.

Still trying to decide if I'm going to sign up or not. There's no time limit, so that's nice.

In other news, school gets in the way of writing fic. :(

:shadowen:

PS: I just realized I never posted my 1602 fic here, so... yeah. Gonna do that.
