# Reading SPN and HP epic longfic and being ridiculously jealous (and admiring) of the way those fandom authors can write so much so well. (My corporate!AU is undergoing beta right now and the entire process is terrifying. Longfic is hard and it is scary. I'm unused to this! /clutches at people's hands. Hopefully it gets easier with practice but a part of me also laughs hysterically and thinks: Like hell I'd put myself through this again? I will never break 10k again. ;__;)

# On the topic of HP fic, let me rec this incredible H/D fic:

Trajectories
Harry/Draco, PG, drama/plot/8th year fic, 35000 words
Rembrandt's phrase in describing his painting: "Die meeste ende di naetureelste beweechgelickheijt", can be translated as greatest, most natural movement (emotion or motive).

( Why I love it and why you should read it! )

# While I'm reccing fics, I just recced a Calvin & Hobbes fic to mytigerhobbes and since it's a fic that I love beyond words, I thought I should share. It's...moving, and a little sad, but hopeful too, on how kids grow up. Totally gen, but wrenching. Tissue warning. Seriously.

Reminiscence
Calvin & Hobbes, PG, gen, 2469 words
Calvin is all grown up... how has the passage of time affected him and those around him?

# I am also loling at my brother knowing all the words to Sorry Sorry and dancing to it. He should learn the dance to Super Girl, y/n?

# Stalling so hard at writing KuroFai for suxing, but I do have some ideas! Hopefully it will be up tomorrow. :) I'm incredibly out of practice writing for anything but kpop and I think it shows... Anime fandom fics, why are you so hard for me now? Woe.

# And then to round this post up with some obligatory kpop fangirling, lille_bean pounced on me today and declared her unending love for Minho/Donghae, which left me helpless to do anything but support her avidly. MINHO/DONGHAE, YOU GUYS. This pairing is shooting up into my ridiculous biases, like KiHae, QMi, HaeSica, CinHae... You are imagining the trend in my shipping. So she asks me how I would plot an epic non-AU Minho/Donghae get-together fic.

Me: ( ...it might go something like this? )

And now back to your regularly scheduled holiday, sans Mei-insanity.

Merry Christmas! Flist, you've been wonderful this year, and I hope many happy things for you this holiday, whether or not you celebrate. I really am lucky to know all of you - some better than others, some longer than others, but you've all made a positive impression in my life, for which I'm thankful. Times have been hard on some of you for various reasons, real life and fandom, and I hope you all do your best to remain positive, because you deserve happiness. Hugs and cuddles for everyone! Re the pic above, you will take my love and you will like it. /kisses ♥


And I keep forgetting: I have 10 LJ coupons ($10 off upgrading to a paid account), so let me know if you'd like one!

So I'm writing corporate!AU, right? I get distracted looking up pictures of hot cars, trying to decide what Kibum will drive:

meiface: oooh: http://www.thetorquereport.com/2009_mercedes_benz_sl_amg.jpg
coley_merrin: pretty *_*
meiface: lol look at me researching all these little things that probably won't even show up in the fic
coley_merrin: XD
coley_merrin: lol
coley_merrin: my brain's question:
coley_merrin: which color would donghae look best pressed up against
meiface: lkadaldgh
meiface: shit
meiface: now this car is going to make it into this fic
coley_merrin: XD
meiface: well, i assume donghae's already in a black suit...
meiface: so silver or red for contrast? XD
coley_merrin: XD XD~ sounds good

FML. And this is why I shouldn't talk to people while I try to write.

In case anyone's curious, Kyuhyun's car (which is in the fic, but not in any starring role) is a black Audi R8.

I wake up, and kpop fandom is in panic again. Uh...here are my two cents:

DEAR KPOP FANDOM,

STOP PANICKING.

IT WILL BE OKAY NO MATTER WHAT.

LOVE, MEI


No, really. Have a little faith. ♥

( TL;DR thoughts. You may disagree. )

ETA: Take a deep breath, guys. Let it out. Fans blowing things out of proportion is half the reason things got so ridiculous.

ETA 2: This is my stance on the whole issue, and I have nothing else to say about it. Imma just do my shit now, yeah? Until final word comes through. No more discussion or dwelling on the subject.

I love the boys, all fifteen of them. I love them whether they are in a boy band or not. I love them for their love for each other, so I want most for their relationships with each other to be okay after all of this mess. That is more important to me than how the contract or legal issues work out. Every one of them is human and fallible, susceptible to hurt and prone to mistakes, and every one of them has my support. In the end, I just want all fifteen of them to be happy and to love each other.

The other shit pales in comparison.

The end! :)

My miracle_ss fic got posted. Oh my god you guys, please read it.

i don't want to (but i'll always do)
Kibum/Donghae, Donghae/Jessica, PG-13, AU
Kibum will do anything for Donghae, but Donghae doesn’t know it.

It is unspeakably amazing, heartrending, and I love it so much you have no idea. You might have some idea if you saw the epic comment I left for it.

A nonspoilery rec goes thus:

(12:45:20 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: o-omg i am so happy with this fic *__*

(12:47:44 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: oh my god my heart my heart, kihae as children

(12:50:25 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: WELL I LOVE WHOEVER WROTE ME THIS FIC OKAY
(12:50:36 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: oh my god the little details, oh my god my heart T______T

(12:51:59 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: i love her, she should write kihae forever ;_____;

(12:56:46 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: ;________________________;
(12:58:44 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: oh
(12:58:47 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: this fic
(12:59:00 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: tbh, i never expected to get something so good out of the secret santa
(12:59:03 PM) sweet as sunshine ☀: but this fic

The author's not who I thought it was, but whoever it is has my undying love. ♥ I LOVE THIS FIC SFM GO READ IT NAO.



FLYING HOME IN TWO HOURS, WILL BE HOME TONIGHT. \o/ Let's see if I get any writing done on the plane. For the rest of you, watch SJM on 100% Entertainment and lol your heads off, okay? Do it for me and for the good of your soul. Subbed and painfully loltastic.

☆ So I was looking over some old comments and came to the realization that I like 'em cute but retarded:

mardigrasmaven: Donghae seems like the type to accidentally bike into a pool or something.
vanillacat: Hae was just kind of like "O w O? Donghai is so handsome! Look, I can say that in Chinese yay!"

But oh so adorable!

☆ Um, I might ship Minho/Donghae really, really hard. They are both really, really attractive and all over each other, it's basically the most adorable thing ever. And it'd be hot, okay. Don't lie. I'm going to stop staring at Donghae's thighs and resounding lack of ass now. (Eurgh, EunHae adorableness. Can I just ship their BFFery hardcore? 'Cause I really, really do. And while I'm OT: I really approve of how basically all of SJ is building up those biceps and abs. Yum. I like this trend, I doooo.)

☆ Also, I thought I should just mention: maybe I don't !!! enough over the rest of SJM on this journal (I tend to be, uh, Donghae-biased) but alskdghsdf every single one of them makes me smile so hard it hurts. They are all so attractive and hilarious and Geng should never stop being the cocky bastard he is in China, and Siwon should continue being the pervy foil to Geng, and Henry should be adorable and hot all while stealing underwear, and Ryeowook should continue being motherly and spastically precious and passive-aggressive about his SJM love, and Zhou Mi should sing for-fucking-ever with his mile-long legs and that smile augh (I could go on for days), and Kyuhyun should always laugh and lean into Mimi and be the most gorgeous thing ever. Cannot stop staring at QMi, all the time. Donghae should carry on as he does.

☆ The same thing applies for ships other than KiHae or QMi. I really, really, really fangirl HeeKyung, okay? Romantically, platonically, however. Their friendship is some of the most epic in the world and Heechul is amazingly loltastic. I could meta on their RL dynamic for ages but I won't and will just conclude with I looooooooooove theeeeeem. ♥ Another pairing I don't shout enough about? CINHAE. YOU GUYS I SHIP CINHAE REALLY HARD. (I blame Donghae, Heechul, and taylormercury.) Take my #1 and my #2 in fandom, and there's no way they don't go well together. Unf. Also, Minry, I have this secret burning love for it, jsyk.

☆ LOL Kibum. Look, smiling and with a haircut! I will always love you~

★ BUT THE REAL POINT OF THIS POST is to tell you that I love you, flist! And I am attempting to show that through fic... So here is where you can put in your 2009 Christmas drabble requests! ETA: C-closed! That was pretty fast, dies. It's going to be kind of themed.

Please give me the following:
--Fandom
--Pairing (optional)
--5 times/things/etc (+ 1 time/thing/etc) (+1 is optional)

Example:
--Super Junior
--KiHae
--5 love letters Donghae received and 1 he didn't

Because I want to be realistic about this, I'm limiting the number of requests to 12. For, you know, the 12 days of Christmas and all. :) First come, first served! All fandoms open, not just SJ (even if that's all I talked about in this post, lol) - if you know I've been in it, you can ask for it. ♥

I'm finished with all of my exams! I am officially halfway through with this whole law school business and pretty thrilled about it if I don't think too hard about the remaining 1.5 years, haha. To celebrate wrapping things up, I'm going to clean my apartment. Omg, you have no idea how awesome this will be. I love cleaning, okay? It produces instant, visible results, and I am all about that. Ahh the scent of chemicals in the air...

I am also writing, hurray! None of you care but I'm going to talk about it anyway, it's how I roll. That stupid corporate AU inspired by the Sorry Sorry Answer MV has grown to ridiculous proportions. Longfic proportions! It's like my muse is trying to turn me into black_goose and I'm all: Are you kidding? I'm not insane like she is! I can't juggle 20+ longfic WsIP! I am too ADD for that! Sadly, this fic is >15,000 and going strong. It requires so, so much editing once I'm done with it though, oh my god. I also refuse to post it before it's done. But I also want to post it before the year's out. In conclusion: I will be writing like a crazy person for a while, and now that finals are over, I should finally have the time! Which, naturally, means that I will lose all motivation...

Also working on some other things and have to sort out what I'm packing to take home with me on Saturday, because I actually have to do work over break. But I will be at home, and well-fed! I will see people, and also movies! That significantly improves life by a factor of 10.

Repimping the time capsule meme because...hoyah did it? I basically live in a cave re: fandom, okay? I'm staying in my corner over here waving my personal flags and being ignorant of everything else.

【THE TIME CAPSULE MEME】

Um, in conclusion, this is a boring post. I have a much more fangirly one planned for tomorrow ahaha. This is why I usually don't include life updates here, none of you care. XD I have a separate journal for that.

Now, to sushi or not to sushi? That is the question. /wanders off, hungry.
