AN: Heartfelt thanks to fantasticpants, who read at least five drafts of this story and asked the question “Why now?” without which this fic would never have come to be, and to indyhat, who provided both an excellent beta and inspiration.

So, it's been a really long time (again). But school ate my life and I really haven't had much to say that wasn't complaints about professors and classes. But! the semester is almost over and I've started writing again, so this journal is not dead yet ^^. In fact I'll probably be posting some recs in the next few days, but for now I just have one thing to say.

You should go to this website, and practice your vocabulary.
                         

This is a website dedicated to ending world hunger: for every word you get right, it donates 10 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. Not only is this a fantastic cause, but it's fun too ^^.  And slightly addictive, last night, I got up to 2,000. It's a simple way to make the world just a little bit better in your free time, and they have some really interesting words too!  :D

A lot of image repeats- I was mostly experimenting with different tools and spacings. Six pictures for 41 icons. I need to do something more productive.

Because I apparently can't write anything under 250 words. *laughs* So hey! separate post. And sheesh! You guys think I can write anything! (especially the really twisted ones, I'm noticing..... any reason for that? xP)

Ratings for all probably hover around PG13, but we'll put them at 'R' for some of the "themes"

#3- for tju_tju_tju_tju

( Peter/Nathan for tju_tju_tju_tju )

#4- for indyhat

Snagged from c_quinn who snagged it from betterthanlegos (and the list goes on, I'm sure)

Comment with two characters I write [or you think I could/should write], and I'll tell you or write a drabble about their first kiss.
Hopefully I will be able to retain 'drabble' status....

Subject: Episodes 12 and 13 ('Captain Jack Harkness/ End of Days)
Batch #: 3 // 32-75
Themes: all themes

Teasers:

I'm trying to work on finishing my portfolio and Queen's "Somebody to Love" comes on and all I can think about is Mohinder, Molly, and Sylar.

....You automatically and unconsciously start inserting 'boy' instead of 'girl' and 'he' instead of 'she' when singing along with the radio/ music.

*facepalm*

This may have gotten out of hand......

(additional notes- you have a tendency to not even notice het pairings, even when they're canon- the prospect of writing a het fic seems strange and unusual to you- a fellow fan you know in real life starts talking about the last installment of canon and you can't figure out why they aren't mentioning the slashy subtext- )

feel free to add here.


*goes back to pre-finals work*

In contrast to my latest stress-filled posts, here's some light-hearted fun for you folks. It's certainly entertaining me.

I don't have time to write a full resonse just now but this is bothering me:

I just watched the last five minutes of 'Recovery' (with David Tennant and Sarah Parish) again and it made me cry. just the last five minute alone!

Moving on...

Anyone who has not read tju_tju_tju_tju's first installment of 'Wicked Games' should go read it now. I know it's on vote_petrelli and it may also be on heroes_slash. It is excellent. If you like Nathan's character and are okay with slash, you should go read it. It's centered around an original character, but it is still fantastic and awesome and lots of other good adjectives.

Also! I have created a community. It's not totally up and running yet (read: I have not posted anything due to time constraints) but it should be pretty awesome (check out the banner. I nearly gave myself a headache making that). It's called heroes_crack, moderated by the wonderful fantasticpants and I, and is the product of our amusing and rather strange ramblings together. Fic, graphics, fanart, whatever you like can be posted there as long as it's crack. Even AIM conversations, as long as they're Heroes inspired. We support odd pairings, satire, inanimate objects (such as the purse- yes, I'm talking to you betterthanlegos), general laughing matters, irony, the turtle, and throwing empathic poodles off buildings.

So bring your crack!whatever and laugh with us ^________^

I'm working on a paper that explores fanfiction writing, beta-ing, and reviewing for my Tutoring and Teaching of Writing class, and my professor said it'd be okay for me to ask  the internet community for primary-source material. *grin*
