not a perfect metaphor

This plot was the best idea ever. (So was convincing Quinn she'd like Warehouse 13 after all. It only took me four years! Speaking of, dear back half of the season: Please be awesome. ALSO HOW IS [GUEST STAR] I DO NOT EVEN.)
Meanwhile, Fic Friday! Leave a prompt here if you're so inclined.
( in which I was only on Twitter this week )

Has it seriously been a year since the Allpocalypse? Damn, son.
I've officially gotten quinby into Warehouse 13, and I think it's going to bear fruit come the next app cycle. :D :D :D
Meanwhile, belated Fic Friday! Unofficial theme of horses.
( because I was erring on the side of lazy yesterday )

In conclusion, parents. What can you do? (What I can do: Take out my frustrations via fictional family dysfunction! This Christmas Carol plot business is the best idea ever.)

Other than that, I'm giving fandom_stocking a try this year; my post is here.

LJ, LJ, LJ. Will you ever learn? There are new beta shenanigans afoot, and it's... well. I'll let it speak for itself. (Also, guess what they first rolled out in public on the Russian side of things?)
My favorite comment is from one of said Russian users (I love Chrome's translate button): "If this is your idea of a joke, you have a very poor sense of humor."
Given that, I think I'm going to stop crossposting to LJ effective November 30th. It's my 10th LJversary; there's something nicely symmetrical about that. Still trying to figure out what that means for lower_tadfield, but I'll consult the comm first, whatever it is.
In happier news, there wasn't much Fic Friday (now technically Fic Saturday, but whatevs), but it did happen!
( Fic inna sentence! So fresh the... I dunno how to sustain this. )

I disapprove of plagues. Just saying. Am on to the 'nasty-sounding cough' stage of this illness's entertainment, which at least means it's on its way out, but still.
Meanwhile, Fic Friday!
( a smattering of fandoms )

Since my grandfather will not go to hospice, hospice has come to him. (Frankly, I think this should have happened months ago; my grandmother was never prepared to be a caregiver, and I think she's finally stopped pretending she can do it by herself.) So who knows what's going to happen from here, but at least he'll be a little more comfortable.
Meanwhile: #FicFriday!
( so far: Percyverse, W13/XMFC, Disc, Disc/W13, XMFC/Once Upon a Time )

ahhhhhhh Things are Afoot and will be in motion in TWO WEEKS. It's hard to believe, really.
Meanwhile, #FicFriday strikes again!
( OUaT, Warehouse 13, Percyverse!Greek mythos, OUaT/X-Men: First Clas via Milliways; will update if/as more occur )
Considering disc_fest, though I'm not sure if I'll spring for it or not. (I'm not sure I can properly pull off the idea that popped into my head first thing.) But I have a week to make up my mind.

Hey, it's that AO3 hit-getters meme again. Let's see how the top ten's changed since last year.
( in which holy shit where is that being spread around??? )
Otherwise, life continues apace. Things Are Afoot, not least of which is a resurgence of Plot With Rocks In over milliways_bar way. (Because apparently I'm nuts, but also I miss it. XD)

First, and apologies to those of you who've seen this twelve times by now:

For anyone who plays or used to play at milliways_bar and hasn't been following the back room lately: Milliways is moving to Dreamwidth!

They're using the opportunity to free up many old and retired characters for play, as well as to preserve as much of Milliways' history on Dreamwidth as possible against the possibility of LJ going kersplut.

To decide what will happen to your character, help back up the game to Dreamwidth, and to see how you'll retain control over all your content, head on over here.

Second: Hey guys, I've been podficced! You Will Move Mountains got included in the latest Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology; podficcer's post is here (I'm the one at the bottom). It is fabulous and made me squee a lot.
...I feel like there was a third thing, but I've forgotten entirely. I may well go off and write something.

Another in the series of Great Millimigration posts.

Staying on:
Cata (dark_dancer; took the opportunity to rename her journal)
Sam (never_misses; what I wanted for him in the first place)
Claudia Donovan (claudiometer; also ported k39zzz, as you never know when you might need an NPC journal)
Apollo (iamso_awesome)

Dropping, and given the reboot probably leaving open to others:
Carl Arbogast
Cosmo
Conflict Diamond

Ported over, but I'm not sure what I'm doing with him yet:
Moist (kemo_soggy, mostly because I love that journal name)

Ported over, but not apping without a partner in crime:
Rebecca St. Clair (abetter_shot; if you or anyone you know would be interested in chucking Jack Secord into a pandimensional watering hole out the other side of said watering hole's move, I can bribe with love and icons!)

Most of my other various retirements racked up throughout the years will be let drop thanks to the reboot setup. Including Angel.

Aaaaaaaand finally, if there's interest, I'll re-app Imp y Celyn (not_elvish; WHY DID IT TAKE ME SIX YEARS TO FIRST USE THIS NAME???) and do another round of Plot With Rocks In. I know I said never again, but apparently I lied. :D?
