I'm still flushed with love for my new fandom, How I Met Your Mother. I've read literally every fanfic on the internet (there's only like 40 or 50, all of them short) and I'm bored. I've got two plot bunnies brewing (one longer fic concept that I'm kind of collaborating on with irrel, according to a pre-given promise of awesomeness), but aside from that, I'm a dry well when it comes to ideas. And I have this desire to write drabbles. Not whole fics, just drabbles.

So!

Open offer: How I Met Your Mother fandom, any character, any prompt, you'll get a drabble of some kind. Maybe tonight, maybe next week. I'm partial to B/R fic but I like all the characters.

And if any of you want to suit up and write me a HIMYM drabble, too, that'd be LEGEN---wait for it---


Edit: spoilers for season 3 in the comments.

I like the seven boys-a-writing. And the twelve dragons; I'll take those. And TWO Maes Hughes? That's double the awesome.

*NOTE: follow the link because there are guys in the GW.org discussions, too, and it's interesting to read their thoughts on self-identifying as feminists.

From Girl-Wonder.org to kphoebe to voleuse, my response to the question how I became a feminist:

It's remarkably similar to the response linked above, actually. It's not so much realizing that I was, it was realizing that other people weren't.

I was raised by two open-minded people who believed that women and men deserved equality, and that I could be anything I wanted to be in life.

When I grew up enough to realize that the world was a lot more sexist than the home that sheltered me, I intrinsically knew no one had the right to make me feel like I was less or worse because I was female. I don't remember any particular moment when that happened, because it feels like I've always known that.

My parents weren't perfect, and in little ways the sexism of their parents still influenced them, particularly in how jobs are divided within the domestic sphere. And there's a bit of the nature vs. nurture argument that's always in question, as I think my dad honestly believes that girls by nature are less inclined to certain activities. Not that they don't have every right to do them, but just that he expects they won't want to. We've had debates about this, and about how much is institionalized by society's messages to kids growing up, and how much really is biological.

Out of this you got a kid who was a feminist before she knew what the word meant, or even before she knew it wasn't a belief everyone else in the world held too. And when she realized that the rest of the world didn't necessarily believe that women were absolutely entitled to everything men were entitled to and that it's so stupid to imply otherwise that it shouldn't even be a question in a reasonable and logical society, well... she was pretty annoyed and somewhat disappointed in her fellow humans. Because she was a logical, pragmantic kid and anything less than equality just didn't make any sense. No sense at all.

You'll notice that in this matter, I haven't changed much in 22 years.

If I can think of some way to make this an official multi-fandom challenge somewhere, I'd like to. But I'm not sure how one gets something like that started.

Do you think people would be interested in a community for it? I know there's lots of prompts lists out there, but a lot of people must have done the big ones by now and might be looking for new prompts...

Thanks to sarah_p, I now have on my journal the ( best. meme. ever. )



Then I couldn't resist doing it again. ( Read more... )

Featuring testimonials from spicedrum, fadingembers, girlwithjournal, donna_c_punk, shrift, and muzakgurrl.

I only plan on owning dogs or cats, so that's all I listed below.

(But I did once name one of my brother's little yellow fish Binky after Death's horse in the Terry Pratchett books. He was miffed at the name "Binky", but he hadn't named it before, and once it's named it's named, so what can you do?)

Dog - female
Scully (XF)
Sen (Spirited Away)
Izumi (FMA)

Dog - male
Vash (Trigun)
Shigure (Fruits Basket), if he was black-colored

Sadly, I've never had the opportunity to name a new pet (except the goldfish that died by the next morning), so these are all hypothetical future names.

So I took this weird meme quiz.
( see here )


Many of the questions were odd, but this one I thought was kind of stupid:

15. A rhino is charging towards you.
-Shoot it.
-Jump to the side and hit the dirt.

I said no. Do I have a problem shooting a large animal that wants to stomp on me? Not in the least. But it's a stupid question. I mean, how close are we talking, here? If he's charging and he's 7 feet away from me, fuck no I'm not gonna shoot him. He'd just roll right on forward and crush me to death. So how is this supposed to measure my ability to kill?

What does this tell me? Basically that I write short sentences and I use my journal most for fandom.

( Take the first sentence (or 2) from the first post of each month of 2005. That's your year in review. )
