As of now, this is going to be my only journal; I'm ditching pinkeeyore to make things easier, at least for the moment.

That means that I may be compelled to actually write about my own life here, every once in a while.  Right now, however, the muses will not permit this; they have united against me, and are determined that I should stop sulking about my own life and focus on them.

For anyone who is interested, I have posted the first chapter of a fic – specifically, the Silmarillion AU that I have been complaining about for weeks. It is entitled "Just One Victory" and can be found either here or here.

More importantly, for people who don't go on fanfiction.net, I am going to give you another chapter of "When You Dance":

Fandom: Across the Universe
Title: When You Dance (Chapter Two)
Author: Feta (pinkeeyore, eriala... etc.)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Slash, polygamy, incest... probably some other stuff I've forgotten.
Pairing: Max/Jude/Lucy
Disclaimer: I do not own.
Summary: Max refuses to take off his shirt for Jude. Lucy complicates things.
Chapter Summary: In which Max's bathroom acquires a mirror, Rose reveals a secret, and someone says: "Lucy Carrigan, will you marry me?"

It seems that that Silmarillion AU that I started a few weeks ago and was going to desert will end up being completed after all.  I was very unsure of it, and squicking myself out to some degree, but I found just the incentive needed for both me and Maitimo to get back to work.  My favorite, but less-than-complaint, muse became quite chipper after I made an online discovery just now.  He'd been sulking becuase I wouldn't slash him with his youngest brother, but agreed to stop that and help me write - because, in his words, "nobody messes with my Feta" - and here is what happened:

Feta happy-dances into the kitchen; she has not been this cheerful in a long time.  She finds Maitimo sitting on the counter, eating Max's captain crunch cereal and brooding.  Feta reaches her hand in the box and takes a handful.

"Guess what?" she asks.

He looks up, somewhat hopeful.  "You're finally going to slash me with Amras?"

"Possibly.  But guess what I found?"

"Another fic in which I am naked."

"Better."

This startles him.  "Better?"

"You know how you've been helping me write AUs?"

"That would be difficult to forget."

"And I got all excited when the last one, Flawed, got the worst flame of my life?"

"Also quite memorable."

"Despite the fact that you kept your clothes on?"

"Mmhmm."

"Well, I was playing around with google, and I found this forum thread from back around when I posted it..."

Without taking the proffered laptop, he accuses: "You told me you stopped going on forums when you were thirteen... something about wanting to spend more time with me?"

"Well, I wasn't looking for a forum... I just stumbled upon it... and the first half a page was devoted to..."

Feta is literally bouncing around the room, but stops to catch her breath and pass the laptop over, taking the cereal for herself.  Maitimo's smirk grows as he reads.

"You know what this calls for, don't you?" Feta asks.

"I can imagine."

Feta beams.  "You're going to help me finish our current AU... and bring on the squick!"

Fandom: Across the Universe
Title: When You Dance (Chapter One)
Author: Feta (pinkeeyore, eriala... etc.)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Slash, polygamy, incest... probably some other stuff I've forgotten.
Pairing: Max/Jude/Lucy
Disclaimer: I do not own.
Summary: Max refuses to take off his shirt for Jude.  Lucy complicates things.
Notes: I just spent over an hour trying to post this thing; the formatting kept going crazy.  As you can imagine, this is *exactly* how I wanted to spend my last night of school vacation.  In other news, I've been posting this story on fanfiction.net, and hadn't intended to put it on here until it was complete and I could post it all together; but of course, the word count being what it is, lj won't even let me post two chapters together, let along the whole thing in one post.  So it's going to have to go up a chapter at a time.

   

 

I am back.

The week was not incredibly eventful, real-life wise, mainly because when anyone tried to keep me away from my writing for more than ten minutes I became very bitchy (even more than usual) - so that after a while, I was left to my own devices.

The result of this was the near-completion of a Silmarillion AU fic that, after eating up a great deal of my time, didn't turn out at all presentable.  I was not pleased.

I had thought all my muses would stay at home, but most of them turned up at one time or another.  I haven't finished writing up everything that went on with them, but if I get around to it, it will be posted.

Max and Jude cornered me and forced me to finish a chapter of "When You Dance" - the shortest chapter yet, but at least it's finally up.

Which means that it is now Bellatrix's turn.  You can expect a new chapter of "Brightest In The Sky" as soon as she shows up to help me write it; I haven't seen her in a while.

That is all.

I am going on vacation tomorrow.  That means lots of writing time, but limited internet access.  I will return to you next Saturday.

I have a feeling that quite a few people are annoyed at me for how badly I have been procrastinating on my fics, but I assure you, you are not nearly as upset at me as my muses are.  Bellatrix was too sulky to even talk about it.  Max, however, shared his views:

 

 

I have not been doing much writing lately.  I think I will be making an effort to do more, however, as it appears that my characters should not be left to their own devices.

Why hello.  I don't have much to share with you, though I was just visited by a muse.  Better yet, an "Across the Universe" muse.  And while I wouldn't actually consider this a fic, it does reveal a little bit about the future of one.  So here you are:

 

From now on, writings and fics and related rambles go here, life goes to pinkeeyore.  That is rather unfortunate, because as of yet no one knows that this is here.  If you happen to stumble upon it, however, I suppose you might like some writings.  I offer you a few original stories, posted before I created this journal.

(The Many Faces): A bizarre short story, based off of some bob dylan songs and a bit of insanity.  My english teacher hated it, so it can't be too bad.

(Green Eyes): The woes of being a crazy person.  Originally a short short story, now also a segment of an uncompleted novel that will most likely stay that way.  Stands alone just fine.

(Do Me No Harm): Sequel to "Green Eyes".

(Fake Plastic Flower): An attempt at a het romance, for once.  Not particularly romantic.

(Perfect Color Me): Sequel to "Fake Plastic Flower".
