[fic Bend It Like Beckham] Not Like Christmas, Exactly, Jess/Jules

I apparently never posted this here, in addition to Yuletide, so I'm doing so for my own records.

Summary: Jules remembers how Christmas used to be, and it's not quite like this.

[fic Bend It Like Beckham] like a flower leaning towards the sun, Jules

Back in 2005, when I wrote "Not Like Christmas, Exactly" for Yuletide, I also started this fic. I've finally finished it, at least as much as I'm ever going to finish it. Why all these posts? Well, I have diet Dr. Pepper, a Cadbury Caramello bar, and my Remix fic open. Of course I'm going to write something else instead.

[fandom] it's my anniversary (sort of)

According to its counter, my automated archive now houses over one hundred of my stories. It both feels like more than I expected and less. (Maybe less because I don't think I've uploaded all the older stories still.) Crazy. I've been writing and posting fanfic for ten years now, give or take a few months.

I'm pretty sure I'll still be writing fic ten years from now.

I am watching the Tremors quartet again. I LOVE this stupid series. The first one is my favorite, but the second one isn't horrible. The other two are pretty crappy.

From wizened_cynic:

1. My username is _____ because ____.

When I started this, it was to be all about fanfic and fandom, and so I wanted something that had to do with my writing, and what better to name the blog after than where it is written, and since I love blue and I love writing desks, it is a blue writing desk.

Except this is a WEB OF LIES! Because I write mostly on my laptop, so usually it is, you know, in my lap. And my actual desk is not blue, it is glass! So.

Actually, I just thought of this, the glass desk I wanted to buy, so many years ago, had a blue tint to the glass and silver metal. However it was something like three times as expensive as my clear glass and black metal, plus the black metal matched all my other furniture, so I didn't buy it. But I COULD have had a blue writing desk. (And probably someday will.)

1a. My name is _____ because ______.

Carla because that's my name, okay? What do you want from me?

2. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

Stories From the Blue Desk because that's what this is. Didn't you read above about the blue desk and the web of lies?

3. My subtitle is ____ because ____.

Fandom Near and Far because apparently I can no longer be fandom monogamous even when I try. Woe.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

Storytellers Weave Their Dreams because that's what you do. I am pretty obvious in this blog, you see. I don't want any confusion. (WEB OF LIES!)

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

The icon used on this post because it is Blue Crush and Eden/Anne Marie and full of glee. It makes me gleeful when I see it.

[fic Blue Crush] Paradise (The Early In the Morning Mix)

Title: Paradise (The Early In the Morning Mix)
Disclaimer: Don't own 'em, of course.
Dedication: Written for a prompt nikitangel gave me a long time ago. (I think; I couldn't actually find the post with the prompt.) The prompt was: Eden waking up early to work on her boards while the other girls sleep (or while Anne-Marie works out on the beach).
Rating: 13+

Summary: Eden is awake while all the others sleep.

Even though I know I should sleep (four hours in the past forty-eight? Fifty something? I don't know anymore), I'm not all that tired. I am going to go lie down in a moment, but first I had to marvel at this.

I am currently writing LB fic with a movie on in the background and a can of diet Dr. Pepper at my right hand. Add a cigarette and warmer weather, and I'm suddenly reliving my undergrad experience. Freaky.

Of course, back then the movies I watched were on VHS. And I was in a dorm room, so I could smoke inside. And I probably wouldn't be at home writing at this point in time, but later, after the bars closed, oh yes. I wouldn't be working with a cowriter, either, but I would be writing about most of these characters. It's a strange world.

There are times when I really, really miss writing The Protector Series. It was good to always know where I was going with the a series.
