I know there's been a lot of requests for Loki's who are looking for their Thor's. Hopefully I'll be able to find someone willing to take on the job.

I'm looking for a Thor for my Loki. I'm looking for a seriously fun line. It can be pre-Thor, during Thor, pre-Avengers, during the Avengers, or post-Avengers. Basically it can be anything we want to do with it. I love brainstorming.

And if that's not your cup of tea I'd give my first born for a Chris Hemsworth against my Tom Hiddleston.

Something for this woman (or a Christina Hendricks pb in general)? Only looking for het lines at the moment and they must be journal based. I'd give my first born for a Don Draper/Jon Hamm pb to write against, but I'm definitely open to others as well.

I'm looking for information on any and ALL supernatural based communities. Please leave links!

Does anyone out there play Simon Halls? Check the journal for details.

I would love to find a Tom Hiddleston pb to play this lady's older brother in a incest line (other faces I will consider using are Rooney Mara, Zooey Deschanel or Kat Dennings). I don't have anything set in mind just yet (though I do have some rough ideas), but would love to brain storm something so feel free to ask for a custom if interested.

I'd also be interested in finding a John Winchester to continue a line I previously had that I miss dearly. Details can be given, but starting from scratch works fine, too.

Other ideas/faces are welcome, these are just the ones I have in mind at the moment.

I'm going to try this posting thing again. Maybe it'll turn back into a habit.

I think last year just knocked the snot out of me, and I've spent the last few months trying to figure out what's normal. And trying to get enough sleep. On the surface, nothing much has changed, really, but apparently, spending a weekend or so a month Not at Home throws me off completely.

I've moved every small thing and several large things in my apartment multiple times, and at the moment, it looks like I'm moving, though it's not clear whether it's In or Out.

The new-ish wheel still feels new, and now there's a loom in residence; it's relatively small and folds up for storage or transport, but it still has a significant footprint in here. My desk is at the coast, and in its place is a table for my sewing machine, which takes up a lot less space, not that you could tell from the general clutter.

I need to empty more stuff out of here, and take a deep breath and stop acquiring fiber and yarn, although I'm told that the weaving thing will eat up yarn pretty fast. I just have to learn how to use the loom. Yeah. I know. It's just that I'm suddenly, in a weird way, doing all these things I always wanted to, or at least making the space/acquiring the tools so that I can. Heady.

Cats are pretty good, reasonably happy, getting less hinky (that's mostly Holmes, who still won't let me pick him up without panicking, but he panics less?), more loving, more settled. We still have hooves up and down the hall every morning; they play, they wrestle, they have spats, they sleep in a tangle.

Work is work; still like working with that group, like the job, hate the software and the auditors. Except for the software rants, I usually drop all thoughts of it the minute I leave, which is good for me.

I had tons of plans for this weekend, but I rolled over and went to sleep again after feeding the cats, and when I did wake up, I had no ambition to do anything but eat and read. So that's what I've been doing. I really think I need the rest.

At the coast, we are now painting. Well, one wall so far, so SL could put in some bookcases. I have managed to go out there a couple of times and do mostly nothing, which has been good. I was beginning to hate the work trips, though the painting part was fun. I may have to restrict myself to one wall at a time, though--more is hard on my achy elderly joints. ;-)

Hi!

Must go feed cats.

...although, for the record, I've now seen it four times and will be seeing it again with midnitemaraud_r next week.

I went with G today (post gardening) to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (trailer here), which stars half of my favorite older British actors: Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, etc... Lovely (despite it not being The Avengers), like...a slightly more cohesive Love, Actually, but where everybody is at least twenty years older. :)

For the record, though, this t-shirt is for sale at Hot Topic:



Which...what? Iron Man with Captain America's shield? So...are Steve Rogers and Tony Stark living together? Is this like one of those things where you wake up in the morning and accidentally put on your lover's shirt before you rush out the door to go to work? *g*

I would absolutely love to fill any of the lines I have written up in my journal. Ideas are not solid, so they can be edited to fit your wants/likes. I also have a list of faces I would like to use, as well as some suggestions for male faces I would like to write against. I'm not looking for short term lines and would love to find someone who actually enjoys writing scenes and isn't looking for spam only interaction.

omg!!!! *flails*

I finally watched the season finale of Smash today. That show is sooooooo good!

And I just watched the season finale of Supernatural *SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!* Ahhhh I can't believe I have to wait a billion years for next season!!! It was so much better when I got to watch 6 whole seasons on DVD all at once!!! eeeeeeeee!!!

If you aren't subscribed to otw_news but you have any interest at all in the preservation of our fannish past, you're going to want to take a look at this post and the associated links.

FortuneCity, an early 'net website provider, has shut down its free accounts and that means that dozens of personal fan websites and archives have disappeared (like the geocities shut down, but with less warning).

Take a look at the post and see if there's anything you can do to participate in the recovery project (...and if your own site ended up disappearing in the shut down, see what the OTW can do to help save your work)

Lines for this young lady? I'd love to find a Tom Hardy pb to play against (ideally as her brother, but since that line has tanked for me more times than I can count, I'm more than willing to try something else.) but he is not the only guy I will write against. Only looking for journal based het lines at the moment.

House of M transformed the Marvel Universe forever; even when it was undone, things never went back exactly the same way as before. Of course, that's what happened to Earth-616. Over on Earth-69, things went a little differently. Instead of "No more mutants," the fateful words that changed the universe were "No more women." The magic took that rather literally, turning every woman into a man and erasing everyone's memory that something strange had happened. The men of the world just went right along doing what they'd always done: getting drunk, having sex, starting fights, and living out their lives day after day. The whole world was one big locker room. Eventually, however, they got fed up with mutants and metahumans. After a bloody conflict, the humans banished them to an island nation to keep the peace. When they did, they wound up creating the best set-up for long days and nights of fun and frolicking in a tropical paradise the world had ever seen.	Men of Marvel Premise Rules | FAQ Cast | Holds Wanted Apply
Men of Marvel is a lot of things: au, smutty, slash-only, genderswap, mpreg-friendly, campy, fun, crazy, amazing Come see what else you can make it. Tons of open spots! Exciting plots just around the corner! Great time to get in the mix.

So, I'm re-watching Iron Man (fannish homework!), and there's a moment early on in the movie with a sort of montage of Tony's coming-of-age...and they show a fake Forbes magazine cover, and on it is written:

"The New Kid: Tony Stark takes reigns at 21"

(I wonder where the spelling error is in this post; surely there's a law somewhere that states that any post mocking bad spelling will, itself, contain at least one misspelled word) [see the comments in the LJ post for all the cock-ups.]*

*although in my defense, I left the house immediately after posting and wasn't able to make any edits. Also? Punctuation errors, not spelling! Also also? I'm leaving all the errors in, just because. :)

Oh! So, are there any NY'ers interested in getting together on June 3rd to see "the two Sherlock's" (i.e., Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller) in last year's production of Frankenstein?" (ticket info here) I've seen it already, but I'd be happy to go again (preferably the afternoon showing, with Cumberbatch as the Creature)

So, the other day, Femme posted a lovely picture of Tom Hiddleston (dressed in his Loki finery) bearing on his shoulders a five year old boy with a Captain America shield.





And here is the "lucky kid" story behind that photo (direct from the kid's dad)

Lines for some of the ladies in my journal, perhaps? There are some line ideas listed as well, but nothing really set in stone, more jumping off points than anything else.

Looking for some lines for my Caroline Forbes and/or Rebekah Mikaelson (I may be interested in trying Elena, Rose or Sage as well, but they aren't really high on my priority list). I have a rough list of ideas here (though I only have Caroline listed, I will try Rebekah against any of them as well).

I have no interest in joining any communities, just looking for private (journal based) lines at the moment. No femme either, I'm afraid (though the idea of playing both Rebekah & Caroline against one of the guys I have listed could be tempting. However, that is as close to a line with a woman as I wish to get)

Exams still to be given, but in celebration of having finished my last day of teaching for the term, I woke up early this morning and walked to the nearest theatre (2.4 miles from me) showing Avengers in 3D, which...okay, I usually hate 3D, but another non-3D fan on my f'list said it was worth it and as I am anything but strong in the face of weak suggestions, well....

And so I saw the 10:20 a.m. showing (me and two dozen other stalwart fans, half of whom had already seen it and all of whom stayed until the post-credits final scene, since the second/third/fourth timers made sure the first timers knew there was more to see *g*), which was the earliest I've ever gone to see a movie. And...I suppose it was worth it in 3D? But mostly it was just worth it seeing it again (and the added benefit of seeing it in NJ instead of NY is that it was way cheaper!).

I have clearly gone over the fannish edge. *shakes head at self*
