ALL THE THINGS FRIDAY.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Time for a good, old-fashioned hoedown of spammage and silliness and REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF.

So much various and sundry it almost won't fit under a cut....WARNINGS FOR HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC EVERYTHING. (this is why I should not be allowed to eat carbs. you give me a bagel in the morning and i get delusions of grandeur. going back to green things and protein shakes, stat.)



**********
First off, THE NUMBERS--
Members: 426
Watched by: 483

And I love each and every one of you. Seriously the awesomest ever.


THE FIC RECS--
Behold:

 Master List of all Promptathon fanworks.  Master List, Part 2 now with more delicious everything!


We have dozens upon dozens of incredible fics and fanworks and I keep adding more every day. I'm still working on getting caught up myself. We've got such amazing authors in this fandom, y'all. Grab a tasty beverage this weekend, curl up on the couch and spend some time enjoying all this good writing. And if you find something you like, leave a little love for the author (I hear they like that sort of thing). Also remember that the Promptathon is staying open through August 31st, so keep on bringing the awesomeness to the table!!!


THE RANDOM--
Still working through my Bourne Legacy feels (and there are many). I'm guessing I'm not the only one. Are our non-US peeps starting to see the film as well? Reactions?

bob5fic, I just want you to know that I watched Dahmer last night FOR YOU. And the hair was atrocious but I powered through. And wow yes, disturbing as hell but incredibly acted. I was having flashes of Gary Oldman in full-on chameleon mode. Seriously impressed.
(BUT THE HAIR WAS AWFUL.)
((I'M NOT GETTING OVER THAT ANY TIME SOON.))


THE PRETTY--
You know I can't resist the pretty pretty pictures. It's inspiration, dammit!!!

I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR!

Bourne is going to have to wait until I've rewatched the other movies (or at least, make myself watch the last one), and today I have a SURPRISE WEDDING to go to (and it's possibly going to be snowing here; timing, my friend has it) and then hopefully the rest of my weekend will be taken up by WRITING.

WRITING ALL THE THINGS.

ALL OF THEM.

I have like one scene left on my 'Natasha gets heartwashed' AU which has reached +4K, and I still have so many ficlets planned (and including one where Aarton Cross is Clint's younger brother who got lost in the foster system, and so Clint and Nat go looking - the scene in my head is just a scene. And, no, I STILL haven't seen the movie, but my partner in crime dictator_duck keeps going *____* at me so I'm picking things up that) aaaaaaaaaand my RSI is way more manageable than before, so, hopefully, ALL THE FICS.

And then I can catch up and read other people's when I'm not all "!!!! TIMELIMIT DEADLINE!"

(AND JUST ON THE DEADLINE - given I am maintainer of the AO3 collection, which basically maintains itself as you guys are fabulous, if you have a late entry, you can go ahead and add it, and just note in an author's note that it's a later entry.

This note brought to you by a series of fics in my head that are going to be too long and too much work to even try and finish before the deadline if I want to get other things done)

Also, I've written fifteen ficlets for you lovely people, which is a thing that has never happened in my life.

What have you all done to me? ;)

Re: Bourne-- yeah, definitely watch the last one. Other ones aren't required so much, but I think it's helpful to have Ultimatum under your belt going in.

Yay writing!! Dude, there is something about this ship and this bar that makes you just want to write all the things. I don't know what kind of crack we've got in the water but it is magic and wonderful and I don't ever want it to stop. Because reasons. And awesome. **twirls you**

Yeeeep, I've heard that. I was watching the first one as background for fic, and then I got...bitten and turned it off to CONCENTRATE. But fortunately we have the third in the house, so it's just a matter of dragging myself away from writing ALL THE THINGS. Or as a reward - I keep staying up until 1am or 2am trying to finish things.

I just. MAGIC AND CRACK. So. Awesome. But my braaaaaaaaaaain, I keep going from fluff to serious to...IDEK what the following is, but it's a bit of mental whiplash at times. I just (and I think everyone else is the same) SO MANY IDEAS. ALL OF THEM. DIFFERENT. ODD! CRACKY! (self, don't start the Natasha-is-a-cyborg fic until it's matured in your head, no, not even if there is a title)

But totally worth it, and I just love all the BOUNCING and discussion that takes place. It's so very, very amazing. *g*

SNIPPET OF CURRENT WIP:


“We need to take out NATO as soon as we can,” you say, taking a map and spreading it over a table. “Take out the core countries, and the rest of the world will be too busy not knowing what to do. Or,” you shrug, “sorting out their own problems, or taking advantage, depending.”

“If we hack into the US missile grid,” Barton muses, and you're already nodding at him.

“I don't have enough time to do that before the Chitauri arrive,” you say, and then look at Loki. “Sir? I do know who to find, though. Your spear could be very useful.”

Loki is studying you, and then He smiles briefly. “Missile grid?”

“We use their own weapons against them,” you say. “Humans are very good at killing each other, particularly from a distance. It'd be a shame not use the capability after they've so helpfully provided it, don't You think?”

Loki grins, the expression bright and blinding as the new snow. “I like the way your mind works, Agent Romanoff.”
