Daydream believer

The state of me and writing:
I think I'm kind of, sort of, hopefully coming out of the "writing makes my brain hurt" thing that's been going on since the summer. I mean, it does still make my brain hurt a little, but not so much that I can't do it. I've been having fun with my Little Black Dress Crossover Challenge story, Fall Out Boy/Burn notice. Pete turns to Michael Westen for help when Patrick's been kidnapped. What's not to enjoy, really? *g* But it's already 10,000 words, and I'm half done? Two-thirds done? Definitely not nearly done enough. Ten thousand words is about as much as I can write comfortably. I'm at the point where I wish I could pay somebody to finish it for me. But...I guess I can't. Unless there are volunteers? *smiles winningly* Seriously, though, I admire people who write long story after long story. I wish it came more naturally to me.

Sometimes, this idea I have that I could someday write a novel is really kind of funny.


Pimping:
There's still time to sign up for the Little Black Dress Crossover Challenge! Or don't sign up and just surprise me! Late entries welcome! It's all good!


Firefly REC!
The lovely, talented alizarin_nyc wrote me an amazing, hot, sweet, perfect Mal/Simon story for my birthday, The Flying Game, which you should run, run, run to read if you're a fan of this pairing. It was just everything I love about these two, with bonus drunken dancing and Simon turning the tables and sweet fumbling sexy sweetness. Yay story!

Cookbook Recs

My mission for 2008 is to change what I cook and how I eat so that I'm getting more vegetables and whole grains. Do you guys have any recs for vegetarian cookbooks you like? I'd be more interested in ones that concentrate on veggies, grains and beans than tofu or seitan. Help a gal out?

Here it is! The rules are simple:

1. Pick a prompt.
2. Write some comment porn.
3. Post it to this entry.
4. Please fill out the subject line like this: [fandom], [pairing], [sex toy]. Note: You don't have to include the entire prompt, since some of them are too long.
5. Read, comment, and have fun!

Note: This post is just for stories and comments. If you have questions, email me at scribblinlenore@livejournal.com.

We have prompts in 25 fandoms!

( Prompts )

The challenge will run until next Friday at midnight EDT. I'll compose a final post with links to all the stories submitted for the challenge, and I'll invite people to comment to the post with links to their own or to their favorite sex toys previously written. So the post will be a true sex toy porn-a-rama!

I often find myself thinking: There aren't nearly enough stories with sex toys in them. I know you're all shocked to hear this!

So here's a mini challenge. From now until tomorrow at midnight EDT, I'll be gathering prompts. Please comment with fandom, pairing, and prompt that includes a sex toy. Feel free to include a link to a specific item if you like! On Saturday morning, I'll post the prompts in a new post (you know, assuming that I'm not the only one who thinks this is a good idea! *g*), and then people can comment with their stories.

Hit me with some prompts! And please pimp!

The party is still going on! The lovely and talented isagel has written her first SGA story, taking the kink writing on skin and making it into hot, hot, poignant John/Rodney. It's Scrawl. Check it out!

Also, don't miss these other hot, delicious party favors:

kassrachel: Speech, Rodney having to keep absolutely silent during sex
lavvyvan: The Clothes That Make, crossdressing John
justabi: Teyla and breast/nipple play
ladycat777: John tied up, verbally dominated, coming without being touched, now with bonus Rodney POV; and Carson/Lorne/Cadman threesome
ferret_kitty: The One Where Rodney Is Always Right
And yours truly: Glory hole diva John

It's not too late to play! Get your party favors here! And have yourself a dirty good time!

If you've written something for this that I haven't linked, please let me know.

So, I did a poll about SGA characters and their kinks, and kassrachel suggested I should give out the ideas like party favors for people to write, which I thought was a brilliant notion.

Then she went and took a party favor, yay!:
Rodney having to be completely silent during sex

And like any good hostess, I felt I should reciprocate:
Glory hole diva John

lavvyvan got in on the action:
Crossdressing John

So...get your party favors here!

I had a fabulous birthday, in no small part because of my friends on LJ. You guys are the best! I have some pimpin' and some thank yous to offer.

1. The wonderful, wonderful alizarin_nyc wrote me a hot, hot, oh boy, HOT SGA story, Special Favors. alizarin_nyc asked me what I'd like, and I said something sexy with Teyla and whoever, and, hey, if there was a strap on, that would be good, too. And...she wrote it for me! And put Rodney in it! Because...she knows me well! *g* Go, read, share in the joy of my fabulous present.

2. Thank you again to hackthis for my Nathan/Peter story, wherever you go, the earth just opens up, which is hot, hot, and ooooooh, did I mention there's amnesia??? I was a VERY lucky birthday gal this year.

3. Kisses to tvm, oxoniensis, and burntsm0re for the cupcake, party hat and noisemaker on my user info page. When I found the notices in my email on the morning of my birthday, I was all: Awwwwwwwwwwwww!

4. Hugs to everyone who emailed me or sent a card or left a comment or posted a birthday wish on their LJ. I felt very loved!

You all made 41 one of my best birthdays yet! :)

The lovely, lovely anatsuno made a recording of my story Freefall. You can find it posted at sgapodfic here.

Wow. I told anatsuno that hearing one of my stories read aloud is overwhelming in the best possible way. I've always secretly hoped that someone would want to record something I've written, and it's even cooler than I imagined! Honestly, I've never really checked out any of the podfic communities because I only recently acquired an IPod. So I did some exploring after I listened to my story and...man, porny things are even pornier read out loud. I think I like it!!!!

I meant to do this when the season first started back up on SciFi, but...anyway, here it is now! Come celebrate new eps by writing a little hot and sweaty something-something that's episode-related. Below you'll find a comment with the name of every SGA episode that's ever aired. (Including the back half of season 3 that aired in Canada, so be warned anyone who's trying to avoid those spoilers.) Choose one and write some porn (or non-porn if you prefer), any pairing, any anything, based on that episode. When you're done, leave it as a comment to the episode title. If you're having fun, do another! My goal is to have porn for each episode, so the Jubilee will go on as long as that takes.

Come on! Write some porn. You know you want to. And please spread the word!

Here's a running list:

Pilot by elandrialore
Return, Part 2 by vagablonde
Tao of Rodney by ifylla
Critical Mass by scribblinlenore

Calling all Nathan/Peter fans! The lovely linaerys has organized a fic-a-thon for the hiatus. Go here to sign up. You have until the end of the day to decide if you want to participate and the stories are due April 8.

Get your fix of hot brother touching while we're waiting for new eps!
