Small update

[zouzounaki]

Watching Ben Stein's Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed on TV at the moment; watched it with my sister last year but I just happened to turn the channel to it right when he's visiting Hadamar, one of the Action T4 extermination sites. It's the first time, other than my sister's book obviously, that I've seen T4 addressed in popular culture and not only is it easy to be horrified and awed by the Nazis careless disregard for life, but it's intensely moving to see Ben Stein's own quietly emotional reaction. We hear so much about the actions of the Nazis that when we interact with a part of it on a very personal level, the depth of their corruption and degradation is still shocking.

And that's my deep thought of the day. I know, gentle flisters, that I've been rather FAIL lately regarding LJ. I am reading, and I try to comment where and when I can, but I find myself feeling rather... wistful as of late, suffering from a bit of the ol' ennui. I've been inundating you with Porn Battle IX entries and for that I apologize! I've really been hoping to shake myself out of the 'blahs' by cranking out a few fanfics.

My original Porn Battle goal was to write a story a day, but from the beginning I knew that wasn't going to happen, and also, if I tried, the quality was going to suffer a bit. Now, I think people have been exceedingly nice and generous to me and I've gotten dynamite feedback, but being the little A-type perfectionist I myself am, I'm a bit disappointed with some of my own writings. On the other hand, I think I've at least approached, danced around the edges, of some of my best work. So I'd call that a win!

I'm particularly proud of my Inglourious Basterds piece (and eternally grateful to lastwordslinger for giving me the inspiration for it!) and a little pissed at the fact that whoever archived that page of original posts somehow seemed to have skipped right over it. Sighs. So, my favorite of my pieces is now nearly impossible to find or even for someone looking to realize it exists! Poo.

Working on a Susan Pevensie/Caspian fic today. Trying desperately not to make it too dark. And not really succeeding, LOL! Yes, I'm one of those who have more than a slight problem with Lewis' treatment of Susan and that keeps sort of leaking into it. I still want to get that Lancelot/Morgana one done before PB ends as well. Heather Dale's Exile (also the prompt - exiles) is making for the perfect muse but i think I might actually be smutting myself out, bwahahahaha!

Peace, Ghani

I tried so hard to get inspired for the porn battle, but it just wasn't coming (hehe) for me this time. I think part of it is my Supernatural fan fic muse is in a coma at the moment, and none of my other fandoms were that well-represented. At least not for couples that I ship. But I am so glad that you were so very inspired! And I admit that partly has to do with selfish reasons. ;) *hugs the Donny/Shoshanna fic*

Bwahahahaha, it's okay to be selfish every once in a while, and I was happy to oblige! Seriously, you deserve so much credit for that fic, it's insane! Huggles!

And I admit in my own selfish way I was kind of hoping you'd be inspired by the Crusher/Picard or Troi/Riker, but I do know the feeling when it just won't come (teeheehee!) Star Trek is just stuck in reboot mania over at the PB, which I guess isn't exactly surprising. Shrugs.

I was very tempted for the Riker/Troi one... but there was only ONE prompt. And I didn't know what to do with it. "Forever" is too general, LOL! I usually like general prompts, but it didn't inspire me. :( And what the HELL was up with all the Data/Troi prompts? How did they end up being the ship with all the prompts? I don't even know anyone that ships them! O_O

Bwahahahaha, oh my gosh, I thought that too with Data/Deanna. What up with that?! I guess it was just one person with a kink who actually got their prompts in (I'm going to try to next year so hard!) because, yeah, I didn't think that was common or, like, at all!

Some of the prompts are just... really whacked. They're either really, insanely general, like "forever", or just bizarrely 'what the hell am I gonna do with that?' (like the Caspian/Susan one, transubstantiation 0_0 I mean... dude! xP)

After saying I wasn't inspired, I thought of an idea. So expect Riker/Deanna pr0n soon. :p
