Crossover Conversations: Part One
Sep. 7th, 2009 02:29 pmYou are MORE THAN WELCOME to keep choosing, I just wanted to start posting.
Al Gore (RPF/Politics) & Ianto Jones (FPF/Torchwood)
"You don't, however, seem as excited as I'd imagined."
"My DVD sales were spectacular. I was working on a sequel. And don't raise your eyebrows at me like that, I haven't said no."
"I'm sure there are plenty of causes that have no slideshows, sir."
Kevin Jonas (RPF/Jonas Brothers) & Bruce Dickinson (RPF/Iron Maiden)
"It's not for me, it's for my daughter."
"Of course."
"You could at least pretend to believe me."
Tico Torres (RPF/Bon Jovi) & Uther Pendgragon (FPF/Merlin)
"My God, Arthur was right."
"Excuse me?"
"You will address me with the proper title, you – whatever-you-are."
Troy Bolton (FPF/High School Musical) & Margene Heffman (FPF/Big Love) (this turned into a ficlet. I'm bad at this game)
"I do. It's dead. And I'm late, like, late, and late I can handle, late is no problem, late just needs, like, a smile and a hair flip or something, but not showing up at all and not calling takes a little much. And this is maybe the third time my hu – boss, my boss, has sent me to a meeting on my own, and I'll never see one again if he finds out, and I hate everything today."
Rick Savage (RPF/Def Leppard), Joe Jonas (RPF/Jonas Brothers) & Joe Elliott (RPF/Def Leppard (I combined Kelpie's separate requests for Sav/Joe and Joe/Joe)
"So, okay, I guess you guys are tight with Taylor, or something, so I don't know what she's told you, but - "
Joe snorts, laughs a little. "Bloody Hell, teenagers. Don't you think it'd be a bit pathetic for a man my age to get involved in any of that?"
"Um. Yes."
Parker (FPF/Leverage) & Nick Jago (RPF/Black Rebel Motorcycle Club)
"It's not a movie."
"You're confusing."
"You're confusing."
"I just said that."
"I know."
"Okay."

Starting Lines

liketheroad! Post the first line from the last 20 fics you wrote. I am going through a bit of an "open with the world's longest sentence" phase right now.
1. If someone had asked Kevin if he thought Zac Efron would make a hot girl, he'd probably look at them like they were weird, 'cause that's a weird question, and say "no".
2. "So I just spent a year traveling back and forth across the country. And now I have a whole bunch of time to spend in one place. And you want me to spend more of that time than I have to...traveling."
3. Kevin has absolutely no idea what's going on – one minute he was trying to cheer Nick up with a story about this really cute armadillo he saw on tv, and he thought it was working 'cause Nick's face had gone from "I'm gonna burn holes in you with my eyes" to "I hope you can see just how much I hate you" (maybe he'd gotten it wrong and reversed the order? He had trouble with Nick's angry faces sometimes), and then all of a sudden Nick was growling at him to shut the Hell up and had him against the wall.
4. Half-listening to a conversation between Kevin and Michelle about whether some pair of pants would actually allow him to move without cutting off his circulation, Nick found himself wondering why Joe – who was usually completely incapable of letting off a joke until long after everyone else had stopped finding it even the littlest bit funny – hadn't made any Captain Tightpants comments about Kevin for a while.
5. Aya was the first girl – first person – to break Tosh's heart, when they were just little.
( TWO crossdressing fics, one sexswap, and cannibalism! I'm the best )

before I go off to be ~productive
Jul. 30th, 2009 07:07 amThe WIP meme: post a little bit of each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations.
I have three open right now, so that's what you're getting.
Kevin generally tries to control his more dorky urges around Zac, at least the ones he realizes are dorky, but this whole thing was Zac's idea, and he was the one who wouldn't let Kevin change the radio station so he made his own bed here. And if Kevin knocking three times on the ceiling (if you want me) and twice on the steering wheel (if the answer is no) (there aren't any pipes in reach) is what makes Zac regret the stupid road trip idea, so be it.
*
Kevin really wanted to say something witty, but he couldn't out-snark Ianto when his brain was fully functioning, so when it had been replaced with pea soup, or something equally sludgy and not...brain...ish (see?) trying was pointless.
*
Of course, a dying-manatee-alarm-clock could be completely forgiven, 'cause she'd left him a bottle of aspirin and a glass of water with a few (not quite fresh, but whatever) mint leaves floating among the ice cubes. Sometimes Kevin wanted to just marry Macy, she was so fabulous. They could have adorable babies with the world's weirdest personalities. Crazed fangirling over baby animals.
*
I have briefly pondered writing fic without Kevin Jonas in it. But where's the fun in that?

I consider obsessive fanning a form of escapism (my favorite form), and you can generally tell how dis/satisfied I am with my own life by how much I talk about it in relation to my obsession of the moment.
Looking at my last few posts, and considering I just overhauled my icons to be All Jonas All The Time (OK, And Some HSM + Merlin [one of these things is not like the other...]), I think it's clear where I stand right now, lol.
Nothing is specifically bad, it's more that...nothing is specifically good. Which, whatever, I'll deal. But forgive all the Jonas-ing, it's my coping mechanism.
Speaking of, I'm omgsoexcited their Disney show got picked up for a second season. I imagine it's contractually obligated, and I doubt it's something they want to do, considering they're more about trying to prove how talented they actually are and breaking out of the Disney mold, but I love that show so idc. And I've seen bands try before to shift the perception people have of them, and I'm not sure I've ever seen it succeed in a meaningful way. Hanson went legit, and were always better than people thought they were, but I've seen even relatively non-judgy people assume any fans they have now are hardcore holdovers from the MmmBop days.
So when as good as they are their best option is still probably just to fade into indie relative-obscurity, I'm selfish enough to be happy they're stuck with the Disney thing a little longer. At least until it gets really creep for KevJo to be playing a high school boy.
Torchwood: Children of Earth left me both wrecked and disappointed, which is an accomplishment but not, IMO, a good one. I wish I hadn't watched it, and that hasn't happened to me with any media I've liked for a long time.
So I think I'll just stick with Disney crap (awesome Disney crap, what) until Mad Men comes back (eeeeeee). Disney is much gentler with my emotions.

I should really hate ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mayqueen517 for getting me into Torchwood and Doctor Who, because I really really really did not need more shows that do that to my head.
Because OMG HEADFUCK.
I hereby vote for more Gwen-roaring-with-a-giant-gun moments in Torchwood S3. Because when Gwen isn't being fucking irritating, she's pretty hawt. And chicks with guns = yay.
Gareth David-Lloyd gains weight the way Joe Elliott does: his face just poofs out, long before his body changes. HE IS A CHIPMUNK. A jealous chipmunk. D'aww.
I want a Donna. OMG SO MUCH. I'm going to marry Donna (and Martha. At the same time! Based on my favorite anti-gay-marriage argument, if gays can get married, polygamy is soon to be legal in California. AND THEN. I will have my fictional lady wives.)

I've yet to figure out exactly wtf it is about Torchwood that, when I've never had any desire to get fannish about any other tv show, makes me want to do all those fan-y things like ficcing and analyzing and making prettypretty icons and wallpapers and shit. But hey, if you're running Leopard and ever feel the need to get comprehensive screen caps taken and cropped down with minimal effort, my weird fannish obsessiveness is your gain! Heck yes.
I spent a good chunk of last night setting up a way to make screen capping easier, because it's way way way not fun to just sit through an episode with my fingers locked on shift-command-3 and then have a couple hundred pictures to edit. I'm not yet obsessive enough to consider that worthwhile.
So step one is to automate the actual capping. I've started working on learning AppleScript, but I'm not particularly far along. I managed to find the bits and pieces I thought I needed, and cobbled them together (and prayed, on first run, my computer wouldn't explode). The text and saving instructions are behind the cut, or you can just download mine.
( timed_caps.app )
Easy enough! Just open the app, it'll ask you where to save, and start capping until you close it.
( So now you've got a folder full of caps... )
