Quill, Parchment, & Ink

So a couple of weeks ago... this meme started going around, where someone posts this and you reply and they give you three topics you may or may not know something about.

evil_little_dog  gave me:

1. Green Men
2. Shirley Jackson
3. Cirrus Clouds

So...I'm going to give this a shot (before I leave town for a few days.)

1. This one I know a bit about... at least if I'm remembering my mythology correctly I do. Green Men are the men of the forest who both protect and torture people who enter the forest. If you come into the forest to do harm, they'll torture you, but if you come in to do no harm, they'll protect you.

2. Okay I'll fully admit... Shirley Jackson looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. SO I cheated... I googled just so I could place the name. Shirley Jackson is the author the "The Lottery". I'm sure she's written other stories... but that is the one I know her for. This story is both fantastic and creepy. If you haven't read it... do so. It's an interesting take on social mores.

3. Nope... got nothing. The clouds that mean it's going to rain? Or not rain? I was always crappy at remember which one was which.

So if you want me to give you three things... comment!

Borrowed from the absolutely fabulous daria234.

Instead of picking 5 people to tag I’m also borrowing her idea of tagging—if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged.

Rules
• List 1-10 pairings/prompts that you have been dying to read. Maybe it's a really rare pairing or something you've requested on any of the past smut memes/exchanges/etc which haven't been fulfilled.

• When you see this posted on your friends' journals, you may do one of the following:
- Write it.
- Link to one that's already been written, whether by you or someone else.
-Talk about if you are also interested in this type of fic/think this pairing would be fun.
- Nothing - it's just a wishlist! It's a conversations starter and just for fun.

• There are no length or rating limits, and prompts may be duplicated. Be specific in your prompts particularly in reference to any requirements that may hinder your appreciation of the fic.

• There is no deadline for this, but once your ten prompts have been written to your satisfaction you are welcome to make a new post starting over. You may write your own prompts if you want. If your tastes change, you can certainly switch out one prompt for another at any time.


TO REITERATE: this is not a "request" list but a "wish" list, if anything inspires you and you want to write it, I'd be super happy, but I'm not trying to fish for people to write my dream fic here, it's just in good fun.

My fic preferences: Prefer no character death, serious illness or injury, body modification, scat, watersports, underage, ABO, fisting, noncom, hardcore kink as focus of story.

Any rating okay. Smut, silly crackfic, and character studies and all other genres equally liked.

(Thanks Daria for the rules and most of the preferences.)

My list: (in no particular order)—I’m focusing on what is interesting me at the moment and what I haven’t attempted to write yet. I may very well go back and try to write these myself, but right now I haven’t done it.

1. Librarians—Jake Stone, Cassandra Cillian, Ezekiel Jones, and Jenkins—the three Librarians show Jenkins what it means to be family (no sex please, just happy family feels)

2. Force Awakens—Rey/Finn/Poe Dameron—Poe and Rey attempt to teach Finn how to pilot

3. Rogue One—Jyn Erso/Cassian Andor—I want something happy for them. Quiet time or AU is fine, but happy.

4. Star Wars—Han Solo/Leia Organa Solo, Luke Skywalker, toddler!Ben Solo(Kylo Ren), Chewbacca—family time

5. Marvel Universe—Steve Rogers&/Bucky Barnes—dance fic—preferably post-serum Steve filled by tinhutlady (see below.So percious!)


**Thought of two more...

6. Teen Wolf/Arrow--Jackson Whittemore undercover as Roy Harper--what would have happened if Roy was actually Jackson?

7. Need for Speed--Finn/Joe Peck (AKA Beast Boys)--first time or getting distracted while working--I'm not sure, they're just so adorable.



I might come back and add a couple more wishes later, but I’m going to stick with five for now.

Meme from a few years ago... copied and pasted from a different journal... just for fun!

1.Pick 20 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search or other search functions.


So I was going to pick some really, really obscure movies (cuz those of you who know me, know I love my wacky movies), but then I figured that really wasn't fair. So I've got some obscure ones and some not so obscure ones. :-)



( How Well Do You Know My Movies? )

I’ve posted this in the past, but I thought it would be fun to play again. Snagged originally from Wings128

Just pairings you know I enjoy, please - plenty to choose from :)

Comment with a Ship and I'll tell you...

who holds the umbrella when it rains
who is the grumpiest in the morning
who worries more when the other is sick/hurt
who plays pranks on the other
who is always the first to suggest cuddling on the sofa
who insists on creating nicknames for the other
who drools on the other when they’re asleep
who says ‘I love you’ first

Please do not use the following pairings:
Bucky/Ariana
Oliver/Felicity
Stiles/Derek
Peggy/Sousa
Deeks/Kensi
Garcia/Morgan
Nick/Greg
Darcy/Clint

If you’d like any recommendations for original characters, please let me know.

A few days ago I did the Username Music Meme with all my favorite songs. I mentioned to a couple of people that I bet I couldn’t do this entire thing using only songs from Gaelic Storm which has long been one of my favorite bands… I’m trying to procrastinate right now so I’m going to attempt to find songs for all of the letters and do this. I might have to skip a couple of the letters, but let’s see if I can do it.

( Music! )

So I didn’t figure I could do a Q but surprisingly no U or E either… there was an E listed on one album, but I’m not actually sure it’s a Storm album because a) I do not own it, b) it’s not listed on their site, and c) I’ve never seen/heard of it before. (And I honestly do not trust Wikipedia as far as I can throw it.)

And I managed to get three of my favorite songs on here: Scalliwag, Nancy Whiskey, and An Poc Ar Buile.

1. roaming the forest
2. pretending to be married
3. lowered lashes
4. a lost childhood memory
5. middle of the night in a castle
6. tell me a fable
7. a drop of lilac
8. the dark things you fear
9. entwined at dusk
10. underwater
11. a long time ago
12. blackest night
13. wraith
14. a cruel illusion
15. wicked truths

I asked seven people for help in picking my stories for this (which I snagged from wings128)

When you see this, share 3 random lines from 3 WIPs.
And since I can’t pick 3 random ones, I had them each pick 5 stories. And I’m going to share a couple of lines from each… since a few of them were repeated multiple times. And no most of them had no clue they were picking the same stories!

I’m not going to tell you what they picked, nor am I going to tell you what story each line is from. If you want to see what I’m working on, here’s my fic list


( Random Lines )

I answered questions from evil_little_dog

Comment with ""Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock!"
I'll respond by asking you 5 questions.
Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.


( My Questions )

Snagged from angelskuuipo who nicked it from dragonydreams:

Comment 'hi' and I will put my playlist on shuffle, write down the first line of five songs, and give it to you as a poem.
