Fanfiction update, multiple fandoms!

I spent a couple hours sorting through paperwork tonight, and I just found 3 outlines printed out that I thought had been lost forever:

The Mindwalker Ninja (Naruto) - A story for Yamanaka Ino: number one kunoichi in her class, leader of Team 10, and proud shinobi of the Leaf people.
(My multi-ship, multi-arc epic that would folllow Ino into her twenties and cover such things as the death of Orochimaru, the three year time gap, an ongoing relationship with Shikamaru and a dark and confusing [but hot] affair with recovering-from-evil Sasuke.)

Mon Autre Vie (Fruits Basket) - On graduation night, a horrific tragedy struck the Sohma family. A year and a half later, Tohru must solve the mystery of the dreams that plague her, while the youngest Sohma prince starts to investigate what happened, and why.
(My dark and angsty Furuba fic with Tohru/Yuki and Tohru/Kyo and corruption, abuse, murder most foul, magic, and lots of Hiro trying to be a grown up.)

Orpheus Child (Cowboy Bebop) - A coma has changed the galaxy little but changed Spike's universe in spades. Not fluff, because life is never that easy.
(A.K.A my excruciatingly plotted-out, 16 chapter, nursery-rhyme-and-classical-mythology-allegory post-series Spike fic, of which only the prologue has been posted.)


Now I'm looking at these and thinking "They're back! I can write them again! The outlines survived because in my brilliance of yesteryears' fannishness I once printed them out and dragged them 500 miles to Southern California with me!"

And then I look at the ficverses I'm supposed to be doing, like Vampverse or rain_tealeaves, and I want to cry. CRY, YO. CRY!

Because it's a fucking candy story of giant fic bunnies, and I'm the candy and they all want to eat me, but there's not enough to go around.


And then there's that tiny matter of the Life On Mars/Tenth Doctor Who fic that was hopping on lil furry feet all around my brain today...

LJ friending policy

For the first time in a long time, I culled a portion of flist today. I took off mostly people whom I haven't remembered speaking to in a long time, or whose posts I don't remember reading in a long time.

I wanted to go below a hundred, but I stopped at 116. Turns out I'm not as hardcore as I wish I was; my packrat tendencies follow me even into LJdom. But I did cut out a lot of LJ comms from my flist, and I think that will help QUITE a bit with the lessening the overload.

Now, to borrow from octopedingenue, who put it so nicely, here's my friending policy:

I waffle wildly over my personal friends list, but at least one rule of thumb is bone-solid: it is absolutely okay to add me to your friendslist without asking, to keep me on your friendslist whether or not you're on mine, and to comment in my journal on any public post whether we're soulmates or strangers. I am always flattered when people read and comment on my posts here, and I often check out the journals of people who have me friended, so don't be surprised to see me comment now and then. If there's a particular post you'd like me to see, feel free to direct my attention to it.
