Hey guys, how are you? Did you all have a good holiday? I haven't posted since Christmas because it's been quite a busy few days - we've been taking Kizzie for lots of long walks and a run at the beach and then coming home and playing scrabble or watching a movie together. So I thought I'd do a bit of a bullet post to let you all know what I've been up to.

Christmas Day was really lovely. We had family come over unexpectedly for a few hours. First of all, my cousin brought his three kids around - they're aged 5, 4 and 3 - and we took them to the park for a little bit while he went to meet some friends. Then, when we got back, my uncle and other cousin (who we haven't seen in ages) were there. It was really good to see them and it was a nice surprise. Aside from those couple of hours, we had quite a quiet day with just the five of us plus Kizzie in the house. I helped my Mum make the Christmas dinner this year and it turned out pretty well :) Then, on Boxing Day, another cousin (the pregnant one) visited with her partner and his son and it was good to see them, too!

I got some lovely presents - Supernatural Season Six, money towards A8, a new purse (which I really wasn't expecting), some make-up, some cds and other things. I think my Mum really liked her presents from us, too, although she said we'd spent too much money on her!

The writing has been going better - I managed to break through the block and I've written almost 4,000 words. Problem is, that's 4000 words of one of the fics that was meant to only be a few k long. I'm hoping to finish it tonight and then get to work on some of the other prompts too! Speaking of, though, is there anyone who'd be willing to beta a timestamp to my big bang 'Pages Turn' (the J2 bookstore fic) for me? I'm not sure how long it's going to be when it's done, probably about 7k, maybe a little bit longer. It is NC-17, just fyi.

I'm still looking for an end of the year meme - either a general one or a one summing up fandom/fic experience in 2011 or something similar.

Ask me something random :D I'm in a random kind of mood!

I really liked the latest episode of Leverage - I've been working on a reaction post but I haven't finished it yet. And I loved the Christmas special of Downton Abbey - can't believe how long we have to wait for the next season! What did you guys think about the episodes? (Either/or/and!)

The Christmas tree and all the other decorations are up :) We did it as we always do it, as a family and listening to Christmas songs. It's strange, this time last year when we did it there was snow outside and had been for a number of weeks. This year, we haven't had any yet. Anyway, it was really fun and it looks pretty good. I'm going to the uni pub quiz tonight with the friends - it's the last one before Christmas and the entry is free tonight as part of the offer advent calender thing that the bar is going so that's nice (especially if we win the £100!)

I've been productive and made a list of some books to get out of the library for over the holidays - it means I can get on with my essays and hopefully I'll miss the rush to get books that'll happen when everyone gets back to Newcastle in January!

I'm about to have a Hot Chocolate with Baileys because it's December and I can :D I do love Christmas!

I was feeling pretty paranoid last night - we all were. Every noise we heard outside made us wonder whether someone was trying to break in again. Logically, I know it's unlikely but it's a horrible feeling all the same. And that's made a positive post negative so I'm going back to talking about good things again.

I'm almost done with Jane Eyre - not sure if I'll finish it before the lecture tomorrow morning because I'm heading out for the quiz at 7 but I'll definitely finish it tomorrow for Tuesday's lecture so that's fine. I'm really, really loving it. And then I'm done reading stuff for this semester and I can read books I choose again :D First one on my list is The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes (I won it at the start of the semester and haven't had a chance to read it yet.) Has anyone read it?

Hey!

I've had a very productive day - got my document commentary written (although I've gone over the word limit so I'll have to go through and edit), took Kizzie for two lovely long walks through the park, did some English work. Going shopping with my Mum after tea and then when I get back I might finally get the chance to watch the new episode of Leverage! It's unusual for me to not have watched it yet. So yeah, expect a reaction post from me later tonight :)

I usually only manage to go on one of Kizzie's walks per day but I feel so much better today for having done two; the fresh air, the exercise, it's true what people say about the benefits of dog-walking. Plus I got to have some nice conversations with my Mum and sister.

Who's getting excited for Christmas? I really, really am this year! I still need to sort so much out - I haven't written any cards yet and I've got most of my friends presents but there's still a few things to finish off and then I'll need to wrap them all up. But yes, I'm very excited this year :D

I really hope you're all enjoying your weekend - anyone have any snow? There's been some quite near to me but none actually where I am yet (although it is forecast.) I had quite a busy day yesterday, went shopping with my sister in the morning (remind me never to go Christmas shopping again - it's so busy and hectic and urrgh!) and then came home and did work, sorted out some more presents and things. Today, I'm aiming to get lots of uni work done - I was meant to be going to the pub quiz tonight but I don't think I'll make it as my Mum wants some help with Christmas stuff, too. I guess that's one of the disadvantages of living at home; people in halls perhaps have more freedom to hang out whenever they want to whereas I still have stuff to do with my family every weekend, too.

I'm really looking forward to this week's episode of Leverage; I loved last week's so much and it's great to have it back again - I missed it! Speaking of Leverage, heist five of

leverageland is now finished - my team (Team Grifter) won! I had such a blast taking part and I'm so glad

mizzy2k convinced me to sign up! And an added bonus for me was that I was the 8th top point scorer in the heist which really isn't bad considering I didn't win any of the bingos and I missed the first challenge and it was my first ever time taking part :) I'm aiming for the top 5 next time ;) AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT I'M A SOPHIE!

Just fyi, I'm planning on starting to post your Christmas prompt fics on around the 10th of this month and they should all be posted by Christmas Eve at the latest. I'm making quite good headway on them, even the ones that I haven't started writing yet are already pretty well planned out so I know what I'm doing.

( Booky stuff )

Despite what I said earlier about never going Christmas shopping again, I'm actually going in with my Mum tomorrow evening. It should be much quieter, though, because it's a night time and it's a weekday rather than a weekend. Plus, me and my Mum are less likely to bicker because we're stressed than me and my sister are! I don't think I have any plans for the rest of the week...maybe having coffee with a friend at some point but that's about it. Apart from that, I just have a document commentary to write - it's due next Monday but we're all writing them for our seminar on Friday so we can discuss them and then improve them before handing them in. I'd prefer to get it finished today so that I don't have quite as much work to do during the rest of the week. Ah, December, why are you so busy?

I told you I'd remember :D I'm keeping this post open until the end of the month and then I won't be able to take any more prompts without a risk of them being written late.

There's a lot of people on my flist who weren't here last year so I'm going to explain why I do this. I'm not in a position to exchange Christmas cards/presents - I don't have the money to send stuff and my situation at home means that explaining a sudden arrival of cards and things would be awkward. So, instead, I write fics for you because I want to be able to give you guys something :) I don't expect anything in return!

So, this is the post where you can give me a prompt and I'll write a gift fic for you. There's not a lot of restrictions; I'll write for any fandom that I'm a part of/have some connection with. So, the main ones I can think of off the top of my head are Supernatural, Leverage, The Mentalist, Downton Abbey, CW RPS...I'm sure there's others though so if you think there's something I've seen/written for before that you'd like fic of then just ask :)

I'll write gen or ship; most of you know the pairings that I usually write but I'm not opposed to trying new things too if you want something else. I'll also write sequels/prequels to anything I've written before - my masterpost is here if anyone wants a reminder/to take a look for ideas.

So yeah, prompt away and I'll write you a fic (the length will depend on the prompt but I always try to make them at least 500 words) and post it near Christmas :D

Hi! How are you all? Sorry that I haven't been around much over the last week - things have been crazy busy my end work-wise.

I've made a start on the essay that's due in next week but I'm a bit stressed out now because, due to a strike that's happening, I have to hand it in on Monday instead of Wednesday and I only found this out a few days ago. I had to go into uni yesterday (my usual day off) for a seminar that was moved for this week - it was interesting because I gave our group's presentation and our seminar tutor seemed quite impressed with what we'd done so it helped my confidence and was probably worthwhile. But I was literally in the seminar for 30 mins and then it was done so getting the buses to and from town and making the effort to go in was a bit of a pain. Today's kind of similar - I have a lecture at 11-12 then, because the seminar was moved, nothing until 3 so I'm going to come home and then go back in again.

What else is happening? Oh, this round of

leverageland is drawing to a close - only a few more days left, really. It'll probably be good to have a break and recharge but I'm a little bit sad because I've loved trying new things and hanging out with awesome people over the past few months. Still, it isn't too long until the next one starts up :)

It's weird not having an episode of SPN to look forward to this week (although it's probably a good thing - I'll not get distracted from my essay!) Still, one of my friends who is still on S6 made me laugh; I woke up this morning with his reaction to The French Mistake all over my facebook wall - really made me smile :)

I'm really looking forward to Christmas now! I know it's a bit early but town is very Christmas-y at the moment; there's a continental market on which is really cool and there's so much awesome food and it feels all seasonal. Just a note relating to that (sort of), I'm going to be putting up the Christmas prompt post one more time when I get home tonight so if you haven't already left me a prompt and would like to please stop by - I really like being able to write things for you guys as a way of saying thank you for being here for me. I know that at least a few of you who normally ask for one haven't commented yet so I thought I'd put up another reminder just in case! (Or if you'd rather comment now before you forget or something, feel free to leave a prompt here. I'll write something for any of the fandoms I write in, I'll write sequels/same verse fics to stories I've already written -my masterpost is at the top of my journal - or completely new prompts.)

I woke up far too early this morning - could have had an extra hour in bed! Oh well, I have an hour of fic-reading time instead!

<3

Hey! How are all you guys? I hope you're all going to have an awesome weekend and that you're up to something fun :)

The latest episode of Supernatural is downloading now so it'll be there for me to watch later. I'm heading out with my Mum in a few minutes; we're going to take Kizzie for a walk somewhere nice and spend some time together because it's a while since we've done anything properly together. Then I'm coming home and (hopefully) meeting a friend for coffee, he's back from uni for the weekend and THEN I can watch Supernatural :)

Have started my Christmas shopping properly now! Have a really good idea for what I'm getting my uni friends (not saying what, though, because two of them are friends on here!) and I know what I'm getting my Mum so, basically, I can get started on your presents now (the post is still open for prompts, by the way, I'll be linking back to it one more time over the next week and then it'll be closed on December 1st.)

Right, I better go get ready to go out. I'll post my episode reaction later. Have a great day!

Hey all! Time for a bullet post because I'm in a bullet-y kind of mood today!

9am lectures on Mondays are actually the worst thing ever, especially when they're the only thing I have all day! However, I'm feeling brighter now that I'm home again (and hyped up on sugar) so I guess it's okay.

I wrote a couple more thousand words of Stanford fic yesterday which always makes me happy - there's something about this fic that just clicked for me and it feels fun whenever I'm writing on it (which is obviously a good thing.)

I have a mock exam on Friday, two essays due in at the end of the month-ish, yet I spent half of yesterday solving a logic puzzle for leverageland . I have no regrets. I love my Grifter team <3

Things seem to have calmed down at home today - things aren't back to normal but they're much less tense than they were. I'm also pleased to report that Saturday night was AWESOME. Me and my friends got a take-away and watched Ten Inch Hero and finished the night off by watching Changing Channels and it was kind of perfect because it was the first time we'd watched SPN together and we sang along to the theme song at the start and it was awesome :)

Jared Padalecki is going to be at Asylum 8. Have I mentioned my excitement about this because I REALLY AM VERY EXCITED!

I need to start Christmas shopping properly. I got something for my Mum the other day but that's all I've got. Usually, I wouldn't be bothered but my friends will be going home earlyish December for the holidays so I need to make sure I have their presents by then.

Going to post this here again to make sure you've all seen it; this is the promised reminder. I'm probably going to keep this open for prompts until the end of the month and then close it.

There's a lot of people on my flist who weren't here last year so I'm going to explain why I do this. I'm not in a position to exchange Christmas cards/presents - I don't have the money to send stuff and my situation at home means that explaining a sudden arrival of cards and things would be awkward.

(If you've already given me a prompt on the other post, you don't need to repost them here.)

Current Mood: creative

I have lots of work to do today so you'll probably see me procrastinating pretty much everywhere :) Although, to be fair to myself, I have already made a start on one of my essays and there's some good news: apparently, one of the deadlines has been changed so I have an extra week to do it! I need to email the module leader to check because I'd hate for there to be a mistake and then me not hand it in but it's good news! I'm still going to try and get the bulk of it finished this week anyway so that I'm not leaving it until the last minute but it takes some of the pressure off.

An apology: I realise that I'm talking about uni stuff a lot recently and that it's probably not that interesting. I promise I'll try and talk about other things too!

One of my RL friends has started watching Leverage! I've been telling him to for ages but then one of his new friends at uni (there's that word again!) made him start watching the first season and he appears to be hooked if the quote statuses on facebook are anything to go by :) He's one of the friends that I got liking SPN too so now we have multiple shows in common. It's fun :D

I seem to be writing more again now. Wrote two fics the other day and I've also been working on some stuff that'll be a little longer (prompt fics for you,

trollmela and

pippii - they'll be with you soon!) So, talking about writing and prompt fics I'm going to point you all over here to the Christmas Prompt Post that I put up yesterday (I'm trying to make sure I hit every time zone!) I'd also like to point out that I don't expect anything in return at all - I don't give expecting to receive so there's no pressure :)

Also, I love Cho!

Okay, I realise that we've not even had Halloween yet and that this might seem a little bit early but I want to make sure I have enough time to write so this post is going up now :) I'll probably do a reminder/link back to it again sometime next month but that'll be it :)

There's a lot of people on my flist who weren't here last year so I'm going to explain why I do this. I'm not in a position to exchange Christmas cards/presents - I don't have the money to send stuff and my situation at home means that explaining a sudden arrival of cards and things would be awkward.

Hey XD I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas day and that you're having a relaxing Boxing Day! We just had a quiet(ish) day at home with family. My cousins turned up for a while at different points during the day which was unexpected but nice. Another unexpected turn of events was the turkey, which decided not to defrost! In the end, my Mum cooked some chicken portions instead. The turkey is in the oven this morning so we're going to have hot turkey and stuffing sandwiches for lunch :)

We took Kizzie for a walk in the park in the morning which was really nice because we were the only people there and it was all pretty with the snow.

What kind of presents did you guys get? I hope Santa was kind! I got some really awesome things this year. I'm sitting writing this wearing my new Supernatural t-shirt (Winchester Bros) and I got Jim Beaver's memoirs ( have you read that yet,

anastdean?), a bunch of CDs including Michael Buble, Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton and Westlife , and Leverage S1 on dvd! My Mum loved her presents so we did a good job buying them :)

Also, and this is awesome, K and a few other friends grouped together to buy me 12 months paid account time and 3 userpic packages! So, I've got this paid account until 2012 (May, I think) and I also have 252 userpics now :) I'm so happy!

Anyway, I'm going to go and catch up on your entries now :) Have an awesome Boxing Day!

Hey guys :)

So, I managed to get all of the prompt fics posted!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I actually managed it. I really hope that everyone enjoyed their fics and that those of you who didn't ask for one enjoyed them, too.

Thank you to

raloria for the e-card - I love it :D

I guess this is the last time I'll post until after Christmas so Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you all have a great time and I'll talk to you all soon.

Hey everyone :) I'm feeling better today! Like, I'm still a bit bleh but I'm much better than I was yesterday :) I know that a few of you are also suffering from colds so I hope you're all feeling better, too!

First of all, I want to say Happy Birthday to

anastdean - I hope you have a fantastic day, bb!

Next, the awesome, talented

savedean has made a comic strip based on the fic I wrote for her. The fic is here and the awesome art is here . I really love it and you guys should go and check it out :D

So, after yesterday, I'm now a bit behind on posting the prompt fics. I'm going to try and catch up today but my Mum's going on a cleaning the house mission so it might be much later before I get them posted!

I can't believe it's Christmas Eve tomorrow! We're going to the park with some friends in the afternoon which should be nice in the snow - I might actually get to build a snowman (finally!) We had a massive present wrapping session yesterday; I helped my Mum wrap my sister's presents up and then they both wrapped mine up. I THINK my Mum's possibly gone slightly overboard this year and got us loads of stuff which, I guess, we kind of did with her presents, too. We got her some really nice earrings, a book, some chocolates, perfume and a hot water bottle cover. I've got no idea what I'm getting.

So yeah, I'm sorry in advance for the fic spamming that you'll all get on your flists today! There's four left to post so it shouldn't be TOO bad.

And, last but not least, thank you to

contrition ,

gothic_elvis ,

xbreakyourheart and

whitereflection for the v-gifts!

This one is for eph_inspiration – I’ve really, really enjoyed being your friend over the past months and I always enjoy our conversations.
