I've been thinking for awhile of putting all my serious meta together in some easily accessible place, since I get asked for particular links often enough, and I've posted enough that it's inconvenient to search my meta tag. It's very much a work in progress right now, but I tried to include the ones that people most often ask me about, use the most recent links, and add a brief description for each, as my titles tend to the unhelpful.

Which Star Wars Jedi/Sith are you? Obi-Wan Kenobi You’ve managed to train both a great evil and a greater good, not to mention whipping the ass of the coolest looking Sith in the series. However, you do have a few weaknesses, like Count Dooku and a douche bag of a Padawan. Other than that, you are the epitome of class. The accent, the outfit, and your care for those around you is highly admirable. Arguably, you are the best Jedi that ever lived, having owned Maul, Anakin and Grievous, a total of seven lightsabres among the three.

I am stunned, I tell you. Stunned.

I finally finished the last of my backlog of (mostly) drabble prompts - one set took six weeks because I fail. On the upside, I've stayed caught up with my classes.

Slightly adapted! :P

Step 1: Set your primary playlist to random and shuffle it.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play (or more, if you like!), no matter how embarrassing the song. If you want to, skip instrumentals, songs that have the title in the first line and songs that aren't in the first language of the majority of your flist (it makes it easier for most).
Step 3: Try to guess the songs (and artist, if you want) that they're from!
Step 4: Strike through and add the artist and title below the lyric when someone gets one right.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating. Please don't.
Step 6: If after 30 days, there are still gaps, put people out of their misery.

I meant to finish this by/for the fourth, but ... yeah, we know how my scheduling goes. Anyway, back to Obi-Wan's nonexistent corpse.

( Summarizing )

I finally got my meta sticky-post updated, both on dw and lj; even filtering out the old short stuff, I'm kind of stunned at how much I've managed to write. I was also a bit surprised that, in the last two years I've written far more for SW than I did for Austen in the previous six. Then I remembered that that's because a good 90% of my Austen meta happened on forums, not blogs. And most of it is gone forever. :(

In other news, not much except boring uni stuff, but I did embark upon my first step of immersing myself in a genderswap: avatars! It's a sequel, so I already have a pile of paper dolls, and instead made gaming versions (in the interests of full disclosure, only some of these are brand new). Warning for a bunch of pictures beneath the cut, if less than my usual :)

Hey, f-list, commenters, lurkers and all -

Over at fanlit-project, they're putting together a collection of meta on fanfic. Any fandom(s), any fic(s). No Derrida required, it just has to be fannish meta focused on fanfic and at least 500 words. It can even be something you've posted before, as long as it wasn't to a comm, and if it's something you've dug up from the archives, you can edit it or whatever. The full description is here. My people tend to the meta-y, so I wanted you all to know!

I had a (long) post all written up and saved at tumblr, and it's just ... gone. WHY.

Eurgh. I declined to rewrite the whole thing and wrote an indulgent AU fic instead. I'd already plotted out P&P + lightsabers; this time I went for SW + Regency.

I'm in the Guild Wars 2 open beta (of course) and it starts tomorrow! Less than a day away from a sparkly new Mesmer!

*happy dance*

So, partly inspired by this conversation on tumblr and partly by being tired of Piers Plowman, a very short Naberrie fic. (I think this may be the only thing I've ever written that didn't star any of the Skywalkers. But it's all about them, so it's okay.)

title: all these todays alone
verse: canon-compliant/QOM
