Ducks: Queen of Frickin' Everything

Insane Journal has ASPLODED since we got here, yo! The highest sign up per day average before Strikethrough was 839 back in 2004. On 08/04/07, there were 1535 sign ups, and it's been up in the three digit range ever since. That's accounts PER DAY.

We are FANDOM, ya'll, and we are LEGION.

So I had the grossest experience in my life last night. Those of you who follow my journal regularly know that my enormous cat, The Pig, isn't really talented at much besides sleeping, eating, and pursuing places to sleep and things to eat. My late buddy Miss Scarlett was the mouser in our house -- she used to do things like leave little corpses in my bed or in her cat dish to make sure someone would find them and heap copious praise upon her before throwing up and burying the poor thing. Well, since Missy passed away, the field mice have had run of the place.

Until last night. ( Cut for Grossness )

I'm almost done with the PORN! I finally finished the long-languishing sequel to Nooner, Girls' Night In. Now all I have to do is finish the last naughty vignettes for Forbidden Fruit and find betas for both of them. *G* I also made some naked icons to celebrate BRING BACK THE PORN DAY! I can see some folks are already posting over on bbtp_challenge, so let the fun begin!

For the long-languishing sequel to "Nooner" -- "Girls' Night In"! Includes Buffy/Faith, Faith/Buffy/Spike, and Buffy/Angel/Faith/Spike action!

Once I find a beta for that, and finish my last project, I'll need one more beta before the end of the day tomorrow. This one will be a bit... out the of the ordinary, and even less to most people's taste. It's genuine porn, all the most Inappropriate Content that I could make myself write in order to make a point against suppression of fannish expression! Many squicks are covered, as the pairings each include at least one underaged partner, one semi-bestiality, and one incest. Pairings thus far include Buffy/Giles, Connor/Darla, and Joyce/Oz. The final two will be Faith/Dawn and Cordy/Xander BDSM & gender-play.

So... who digs that kind of porn, or would be willing to overlook the squick and beta for me when it's done?

I overslept again today. I completely forgot to set my alarm last night -- the worst time to do it, considering I have no less than three fics I HAVE to have done by tomorrow so I can get them betaed. Two are due Saturday, and one Sunday.

And of course, as usual, I'm feeling completely uninspired. But because I've procrastinated so long, I'm going to force myself to work by shutting off the TV until ALL of them have substantial work done on them. This is the bad thing about porn -- especially erotica. I've got to be in a particular... state of mind, if you know what I mean, for it to turn out well. And lately, in spite of diligent application of HAWT porn stories, it just ain't happening. *sigh*

Heh. I got a notice from LJ today telling me my account is expiring soon. Do you think I should hurry up and renew?

Not. *snuggles InsaneJournal*

I wish more people would come over to IJ and play, though! *hint-hint*

I have to say, I'm really tempted to respond to the reminder email, since it ends with "We want to keep you happy. :)" Something like, "Then I suggest you get cracking on that time machine, go back to earlier this year, and tell WFI to go fuck themselves. That you'll protect the right of free expression by your users until the Federal Government comes knocking with court orders. Or at least treat your paying customers with some respect instead of treating them like criminals or naughty children. Or hey, how about NOT painting fandom as pedophiles! Otherwise, I'm afraid it's too late for for your wishes of 'keeping me happy' or even keeping me as a paying customer. I've already moved to another service after four years on LJ."

I know there aren't a whole lot of people on my FL from my area, but if you know anybody who is, make sure to tell them about the 3rd Annual Burlington Book Festival, happening from September 14-16 on the Burlington waterfront. I would love to go, but the tickets are a bit out of my price range, and the cost of traveling over there is too much as well. But for those who might be able to make it, Joyce Carol Oates will be appearing on Saturday! Check out the website for more information! http://burlingtonbookfestival.com/

OMG! There was a 3.2 earthquake north of here last night. We didn't feel anything, I don't think. Hey, you west-coasters, stop laughing at us. We very rarely get them, and they scare us! Like to see how you'd do with 10 feet of snow dumped on your heads. *pout*

So I'm finally getting a rhythm going on Nocturnal Landscaping -- which is a good damn thing, since I have to get it out for beta tomorrow in order to have it ready for the Fluff-a-thon on Sunday. Once this is out of the way, I'll feel more free to read some nice, steamy porn and get "inspired" for the stuff I'm putting together for BRING BACK THE Pr0N DAY on Saturday! You've got your porn ready, right? An icon, a manip, a drabble, Hell, a SENTENCE, as long as it's steamy! *G*

And to celebrate my almost finishing THIS ficathon, I have signed up for another! I think everybody else should too -- The Buffy Ficathon over on LJ, hosted by ruuger. It's supposed to be Buffy-centric, and not emphasize the shippiness so much as the awesomeness that is Buffy. Let's show our heroine some love! Check out the "Buffy is the Hero, Damnit!" Ficathon! Sign up's end September 9th!

It's done! It's done! The first draft of Nocturnal Landscaping is done! YAY ME! I mean, it's fucking LUSH with purple prosey goodness, but it's smutty fluff, so I'm going to call it good! :) So now I just need someone to beta it! Anyone interested? It's about 3000 words of sweet, morshy B/A goodness!
