Title: Merry Christmas Darling
Author: Ghani Starkiller @ mrs_peel_fanfic
Disclaimer: Ain't mine, characters and situations belong to Marvel and the filmmakers; Karen Carpenter belongs to Heaven.
Rating: PG-13-ish
Characters: Johnny/Roxanne
Warnings: Spoilers for the movie obviously, some sappy romance
Summary: Johnny spends a lonely Christmas Eve dreaming of the day he can finally come home to celebrate with Roxy.
A/N: Wasn't originally going to be Christmas themed but I happened to ehar The Carpenters' "Merry Christmas Darling" on the radio while I was thinking of writing and got to thinking about how that was probably Johnny's favorite Christmas song and then the lyrics just really wrote the story for me! It also occured to me how hilarious it would be to do a version of A Christmas Carol with the Ghost Rider character...Maybe another day... ;-)

Written for: jadeblood as a very special Christmas prezzie. You wanted a Johnny/Roxy fic and this one's for you, darlin'! Mwah!

Greeting cards have all been sent...

Peace, Ghani

Where to start? 'Twas a good weekend for fandom, mine at least. Highlander: The Source aired and probably the less said about the actual movie, the better. Now, I'm not a snob, I love those movies, especially the last one where I geeked out with both Connor and Duncan, but this was kinda meh. The end made me groan and roll my eyes. Make love, not war, baby, was the message of the day, but I watch Highlander to begin with to see guys gettin' thar heads cut off! And Methos really was a total dick in this one, as Duncan points out; what der hey? And once again Amanda was just a no-show. And Joe, oh Joe! How I cried! We didn't actually see Methos' death, so I remain convinced that he's still alive, somewhere hiding again. They definitely left it open. I'd always hoped that if Methos ever died, his quickening would be astonomical, but since they were all mortal by the end of the movie and he was offscreen...shrug. I had to laugh, too, at Duncan recounting the many mortal companions he'd lost over the years, which amounted to all of about three, when his fallen immortal comrades number in the twenties, ha! I still enjoyed it, I have to say, but I would do just because of what it was.

Terry O'Quinn finally took home an Emmy, yay! Go, Team Locke! And Michael Emmerson just looked so handsome and so cute! And in other exciting LOST news, we just read that Jeff Fahey will be joining the cast next season! Jeff freakin' Fahey! SQUEE! Now, granted, the idea that they're going to be adding yet more cast members shows not only a complete and total ignorance to and inability to gauge fan reactions and learn from one's mistakes (they've tried it once in the second season and again in the third. From the new groups they've introduced only one character remains. Yup, just the one). Now, see, we wouldn't mind so much if they remained in the background, but the creators--bless 'em because I love 'em--insist on these new creation taking up valuable screen time more established characters could be enjoying. Juliet had far more screen time than, say, Sayid last season which isn't as bad as Nicki and Paulo--shudder--having their own episode! I really don't understand why they feel the need to do this every season! There's been no news on Nestor Carbonell's return to the show after the initial announcement that CBS wasn't willing to let him do it. I can only hope his show bombs (isn't that mean of me, but I need my Alpert fix!) in time to go film some episodes!

K-Ville premiered last night and was interesting mostly for its setting and not necessarily for its story, so I don't know how long it's going to last. Kudos to FOX for actually writing a biography of Cole Hauser without one mention of Pitch Black, from wence about 85% of his fans come and one of the only movies he's had a starring role in.

According to Outpost Gallifrey, Torchwood had the largest audience of any BBCAmerica drama premiere evah. Torchwood FTW! Between Burn Notice blazing through the ratings and this bit of news, I must say a lot of my faith in the TV watching populace has been restored. It proves, if you make a good show and really are willing to stand behind it and get it out there (read: advertizing blitz, as both of those shows had), people will watch!

Meanwhile, in video game news, I finally got my hands on a copy of BioShock, supposedly the greatest game of the year, and i have to say I wasn't all that impressed. Now, this you must know first: I am not a fan of the FPS. I just don't like the POV. It ruined ResEvil 4 for me. And since the story and the setting were so like an adventure/survival horror game, it was doubly frustrating. I happen not to like having the first indication that I'm being shot at be a bullet barrage into my side or back. I do have peripheral vision, you know. And having to move the camera around all over the freakin' place to take int he amazing setting was infuriating. I think it stopped me from really getting into the story, too.

And this is just pure geek out on my part, but I was reading a new Doctor Who book, Forever Autumn by Mark Morris, as was overjoyed to see a mention of a Ghost Rider poster being part of a "typical twelve year-old's room," along with the likes of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. Awesome.

Keep Watching the Skies, Ghani

I WANTED TO BE:

At Dukes Fest 07. We were watching coverage on CMT (yes, we were watching CMT, which is like a whole 'nother planet, but that's what made it fascinating. And, yes, John Schneider is still highly, highly fuckable.)

I WANTED TO CRY BECAUSE:

Because a storm fried my computey. I was wise enough to turn off my laptop but totally forgot about the family computer and, well, we had a huge surge from a nearby lightning strike. (So apologies to all for my very short answers as of late and absence of e-mails.) I getting most of it up and working, though it looks like my DVD burner was a casualty, which also means that...

I WANTED TO HIT MY HEAD AGAINST THE WALL REPEATEDLY BECAUSE:

I can't burn the new Doctor Who episode, along with the Confidential, and watch it in the den like I do every week.

I WANTED TO JUMP FOR JOY BECAUSE:

Ghost Rider Director's Cut comes out tomorrow, squee! Even though I can't buy it (though I do have it and the extra disc in my Netflix queue) tomorrow because...

I WANTED TO POUT BECAUSE:

Even though we have that $12,000 coming in, we are completely penniless right now. Been here, done it, it will be very nice to to have to worry like this anymore, I'll tell ya.

I WANTED TO LAUGH HYSTERICALLY BECAUSE:

My sister told me to pause an episode of Dukes of Hazzard because they were shirtless and, and I quote, 'Even I like that. That's saying a lot!'

I WANTED TO HUG:

may_child, 'cos she's my best friend, one of the sweetest, most generous and funny people I have met and she's having a really tough time!

I WANTED TO SHAG:

Well, you know the list, but this particular weekend was Garrett Hedlund because I got an awesome copy of Georgia Rule, which grew on me, and he's finger lickin' good in it.

I WANTED TO CHEER BECAUSE:

I got 70 pages of my original novel done. In three days. I think I might actually get this one into a workable manuscript! Sadly, that means no time for my fanfics, Supernatural chapter 1, Ghost Rider Chapter 8, X-Men 3 alternate chapter 3, all of which are vying for my attention as well, but I'm remaining focused, determined to!

Peace, Ghani

Chapter Six

Peace, Ghani

Experimenting with Expressive just 'cos, well, I like to mess around with my journal. Squee for the Spidey banner I'm using though I'm not sure how long I can go without getting to admire a Nic/Ghost Rider piccie everyday. And, yes, I still wanna fuck Nicolas Cage ;-P I searched around and, much to my delight, was actually able to replace the header image with my own, but that's about the extent of my knowledge, so I'm relying on the different themes for the rest of the stuff, and I can't quite find a theme that goes really well with it. I'll probably go back to my Gwen/Peter themed header before Spider-Man 3 comes out, but it was fun playing around.

And, hooray, I might have finally found a decent Ghost Rider bootleg that I can actually play as well! Whee!

And, yay, new Doctor Who starts in, oh, about five minutes! Of course, I'll have to wait to see it, but only about an hour and a half or so, ahem... ;-) I must admit, I'm not entirely convinced of Martha just yet. We'll see. She looks like Rose 1.5 to me; I swear, if she's making goo-goo eyes at the Doctor as well, I'm throwing in the towel. Oh, I'm still gonna watch it, but I'm going to stop hoping for anything more than it is. I guess I already have, but the optimism remains. Silly, silly Ghani!

Peace, Ghani

Ugh. So, I'm sick. Sicker than I've been in a long while though thankfully not with the flu, but blechy.

But I've got a new layout, courtesy of the fantastical banner jadeblood made. Squee for Johnny and Roxy 'shippers!

Pretty superfluous post to show of my icon (which was made 'specially for more by roguedemonhunte) and say yay for new layout! :-D

Peace, Ghani

Oh Ms. lindsaygirl58, something tells me you'll appreciate THIS post over on ghostriderfans, dunno why, hehehehe...

A/N: Whee, a big ol' Carter scene for all ya fans out there! And my morbid side couldn't help but sing "Flagpole Sitta" as I was writing the end of this chapter, heh. Of course, I realized that throughout this entire thing I've had "A Sorta Fairytale" (lyrics are here) in my head and, listening to it yesterday realized why, how perfectly it fit the story!
