One of the big twists of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will be that Paz is a clone of The Boss.

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.

Fandoms: Metal Gear, Kingdom Hearts, Pirates of the Caribbean, Smallville, Star Wars, The X-Files, Greek/Roman mythology, and probably some other stuff I can't recall right now.

Hell, I don't know what this is. A post because I haven't posted to this journal in forever, I guess.

Weird fandom quirks I've had. One for each fandom. Not unusual opinions I've held, just little odd behaviours.

( A motley assortment of eccentricities. )

My daemon is currently a male ocelot called Elleron. Pretty neat. I'll see if it remains so at the end of 12 days. Rate?

This is for reference only. Spoilers abound.

Title: Strange Love or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying (and Accept My Destiny), Part 2
Author: musexmoirai
Fandom: Smallville
Rating: R, for language
Series/WIP: WIP, Part 2
Genre: Humor, het, slash
Spoilers: Takes place after Season 4 finale, "Commencement."
Feedback: Suggestions and criticisms would be lovely.
Disclaimer: Main characters and situations belong to Al Gough, Miles Millar, and DC Comics. Various cameo characters come from Marvel and DC Comics.

Summary: It’s a long road down to destiny and the path’s filled with unexpected turns and twists. Clark and Lana are in love, Lois and Chloe have left Smallville, Lex is slowly turning evil. But nothing is as it appears to be.

Author's Notes: Despite title, fic has absolutely nothing to do with the Kubrick movie. I just didn’t know what else to call it. Suggestions would be good.

Dedicated to the posters of the Smallville forums on the Television Without Pity website, because most of the ideas and jokes could not have been if not for their comments and discussions.

Part 1 is here.

( “Harleen,” said the energy bar display behind Chloe. Since she wasn’t in the habit of answering consumables, she paid it no mind. )

Happy Fourth of July for Everyone!

Author: musexmoirai
Fandom: Smallville
Rating: PG-13
Series/WIP: WIP, Part 1
Genre: Humor, het, slash
Spoilers: Takes place after Season 4 finale, "Commencement."
Feedback: Would be preferred.
Disclaimer: Main characters and situations belong to Al Gough, Miles Millar, and DC Comics. Various cameo characters come from DC Comics.

Summary: Life goes on for the SV gang three months after the second meteor shower, but there are surprises none of them ever expected to encounter.

Author's Notes: Not my first fanfic, but first time posting a SV fanfic. I was supposed to be working on a serious S3 fic (sorry talitha78!) Despite title, fic has absolutely nothing to do with the Kubrick movie. I just didn’t know what else to call it. Suggestions would be good.

(  It landed with a muffled thump on a mound of soft snow. Quivering expectantly, it waited for something exciting to happen. )

I've always wanted to create a fan video, but since I lack 1)the equipment, like vidding programs 2)space, since my laptop only holds up to 11.2 GB 3)good source material 4)the technical experience to make a good-looking vid, I was never able to. But, ever since I heard the song, I've been dying to vid "The Ballad of Barry Allen" to Smallville. So I went ahead and did it anyway... well, kinda. Okay, so it's just the lyrics with corresponding pictures underneath. In any case, here's my fake vid. Which is really just a huge picspam.

Fandom: Smallville
Song: The Ballad of Barry Allen
Artist: Jim's Big Ego
Character: Clark
Category: General, Character Study
Episodes Used: Run, Dichotic, Hourglass, Extinction, Crisis, Tempest, Vortex, Bound, Oynx, Commencement, Metamorphosis, Exposed, Blank, Jinx, Crusade, Shattered
Warning: VERY image intensive!

This "vid" is dedicated to vyperman7, because he makes the most inspirational Clark vids ever and watching his made me want to make my own.

Title: Baggage
Fandom: Smallville, set in my Strange Love universe
Rating: R, because Jason likes to cuss.
Genre: Drama, gen
Characters: Jason, Zod
Feedback: Would be preferred.
Disclaimer: Main characters and situations belong to Al Gough, Miles Millar, DC Comics, and Warner Brothers Co.

Notes: Well, here's an oddity - a little AU fic I’ve written based on my Strange Love AU. It takes place in the future, features Jason and Zod, and was basically an excuse to write something angsty. I’m more used to writing drama than comedy; Strange Love is a big departure from the type of fic I usually write.

Summary: Not every rift ends in a rain of blood and a man flying in the sky. Sometimes, it's much more mundane.

( A suitcase in the Luthor mansion wasn’t an unusual sight, so it wasn’t Jason’s fault that he didn’t pay more attention. )

Last of all, the main event - Part 3 of Strange Love.

Just trying to get all my fic into one place. Wrote this a little while ago. Pretty short - 380 words.

How Is Your Star Wars Sex Life? by bisleysgirl

Your Sex Life:
Quiz created with MemeGen!

Skywalkercest! HAWT!

Whoever actually still reads this, would you be interested in filling out a survey on anime?

I promise a more substantial post next time, like a fanfic. I've been working on a monster of a fic recently.

Argh. My computer, it died on me again. I have a feeling that this will be happening often. Windows XP actually runs at a higher speed than what it's equipped to handle.

Sorry about the false alarm, folks! I talked to my friend (from the previous post) and it turns out that she WAS aware that it was a joke. However, that didn't stop her from being deliberately misleading (and she still hasn't deleted the comment!). I can't exactly demand that she take it down so I'll just have to roll with it.

She's always been a drama queen and rather passive-aggressive but I've long resigned myself to some of the things she does. It's not cool, but I'm surprisingly not too upset. It's not like I know the people she'll be talking to personally, so I should suffer no ill effects. Like being shunned.

On a more positive note, and because it cannot be said enough, I will be living with shadoewhunter and some of our mutual friends come fall 2005! It's an apartment house off campus: 971 square ft, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths. The brochure makes it look absolutely gorgeous. And there'll be a swimming pool! Yay, swimming pool! And I'll know how to drive by then. This is going to be so much fun. So a BIG THANKS TO THEM for BEING SO NICE and GIVING ME A PLACE TO STAY!!! (*sarcasm* and here I would insert random superfluous hearts and kisses and OMG I LOVE YOU!, but I'm afraid someone will reject me *sarcasm*) Also, I tend to be more restrained on LJ.

Class in two minutes, so I have to go. Next post will be about my thoughts on some comics I read recently: Countdown to Infinite Crisis, Superman: Red Son, Murder Mysteries, The Killing Joke, Ruse, 1602, Teen Titans: A Kid's Game, Superman: Secret Identity, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and other titles that I have read but can't really recall right now.

Second time I had to post this rant. The computer crashed. I am in a terrible mood.

Because I usually consider this more of a fannish/interest journal. I don't usually post details of my private life in the LJ (thus defeating the purpose of a LJ - I know) but, right now, I need somewhere to vent and hopefully someone will come along, read this, be sympathetic, and vindicate me. Also, I've got too many Microsoft Word files in the My Documents folder with only one journal entry each.

You'd think that not having a love life would exempt you from having problems of a romantic nature, but, what do I know? I never saw this coming, though I probably should have.

( Behind this cut lies a ridiculous and frustrating situation. )

Oh, and I have some fics planned out that I'm in the process of writing:

One Harry Potter fic presenting a different side of Draco than the one usually seen in HP fandom. This is a Draco that's much more normal and, in fact, is nothing spectacular at all.

Two Smallville fics, both from Clark's POV. One is a massive fanwank disguised as fic in order to make sense of the convoluted mess that is Season 4. Expect witches, element crystals, football, Lexana, and improbable plot twists. Just like the season itself! And it's not a humor fic. Be scared (I'm going to need a beta for this one to make sure the characters come out correctly). The second fic is an AU futurefic looking at a few different outcomes: 4 seasons, 4 images, 4 emotions. Sounds cryptic now, but you'll understand when you read it.

Three ALT+F4 stories being planned. The titles are 'Rewind', 'Fast Forward', and 'Play.' Look for some neat tricks with time and as many cyberpunk references as I can fit in. Oh, and a warehouse fight. Funnily enough, I know how the ALT+F4 series ends but I'm clueless about what exactly happens during the middle. Any other fic writers out there willing to reassure me that I'm not alone?
