i'm goin' to toontown

Here at the Ohio Valley Filk Festival. In about half an hour, Sabbath starts; in a couple of hours, I will be performing Gabriel Gray's Song in the Pegasus Nominees concert. this is the second time I should not be this nervous. ohgod.

Those of you who are/will be at the con: see you soon if I haven't already! (Those of you who aren't but wanted to be: I miss you. *many, many hugs*)

I will not be online more than sporadically between now and Monday afternoon/evening. See you all when I see you. Don't blow up the internets while I'm gone. <3

My first ever Battlestar Galactica fic. Set about a week after 4x14, "Blood On The Scales"; inspired heavily by the "Face of the Enemy" webisodes.

There's this meme that's going around. There's also the list of Books I Read In 2009.

I will do them BOTH AT ONCE. Because that is how I roll.

There's also a bit of SPN meta I keep meaning to post and haven't, and a BSG ficlet I keep meaning to post and haven't, but those will be separate.

THE MEME: Ask Me Anything! Taken from all over, wording slightly adjusted.

Basically, if there is anything you are curious to know about me because you are new around here/are old around here but feel like you should already have known it/have never gotten around to asking despite the fact that you know multitudinous other details of my life like what I eat for breakfast every morning, today is a day to ask it. (It does not have to be RL stuff necessarily! Fannish questions are fun too.)

I will not be offended by anything you ask but I fully retain the right to not answer questions, because sometimes I do like being a woman of mystery (and also, some things are none of your business even if I love you). Alternately, I may screen answers if for whatever reason I do not feel comfortable sharing them with the-internet-at-large.

THE BOOK LIST:
( Cut because even people who love to read don't necessarily love to read a long list of books I read in 2009. )

That's 25 fewer books than I read in 2008. Maybe I should start keeping track of page count, too.

So I participated in the purimgifts fic exchange this year, and I'm pretty pleased about it. I got a delightful trio of Firefly and Farscape fics from waterdaughter (Time and Space, The Sacred and the Mundane, and Perihelion).

And for queenriley, using Firefly and Doctor Who, I wrote three Companion Pieces. With some graphics that I'm pretty proud of, especially the last one.

*smug*

So I never do these -- I always say "more later" and then never do -- and I think I should really start. To make it a bit easier, I will do my con report in the form of a series of bulleted lists.

( Bullet time! )

Does anybody have any questions? Any answers? Would anyone care for a mint?

O my friendslist, I appeal to you! Particularly those of you who might have knowledge of period street songs from the 1660s, or who might know someone who does. (That's right, filkers, I'm looking at you.)

A friend of mine is involved in the production of a play that has a handful of these songs, and needs tunes for them: ideally the actual authentic period music, but period-sounding music that was composed more recently will do in a pinch. A further note: these are plague songs. Expect them to be accordingly, er, cheerful. (Hi, cadhla!)

Lyrics behind the ( cut-tag. (*mutters* Okay, NOW they're behind the cut-tag.) )


Once again: if you know a tune to any of these, or know somebody who might, please comment here! And feel free to boost the signal by linking here if you know any other good places to ask.

Thanks for listening!

ETA: As of this afternoon it looks like a source has been acquired. Thanks again to everybody who volunteered help!

Been meaning to post a couple of memes lately. Most recently, from smallship1:

1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.

( Gimme an H! )



Anyone else want to pick up the meme? Tag me.

So I have just seen Hellboy II.

I was avoiding spoilers before seeing it, so I missed a lot of my friendslist's reviews. Anyone write up anything about it I should see? Please respond here.

My own semi-spoilery initial-reaction incohering is behind the ( cut-tag. )


... no, I don't think I'm getting any more coherent than that tonight. More later possibly!

Still plugging away on the drabbles project.
