Sorry I've been so absent of late, guys. After the play ... well, school seemed to get instantaneously busier. I HATE dashing from one class to another and being so frenzied that what I WANT to do (i.e. watch and review TV episodes, type Shakespeare stories, write fanfic, reply to comments, etc.) gets crammed into impossibly short periods in which I am, more often than not, waylaid by tvtropes.org and distracted from my personal writings.
Anyhoodle, the Lost WAZTs are coming, I have two-thirds done already (though they aren't as in-depth as this one, see again 'pressed for time') and am making good headway on various personal writings of my own. However, due to the sheer ferocity and insanity that has become my schoolwork, expect my updates to be few and far-between until further notice. I mean, the WAZT will be prompt (ish) and there may be some sparse fanfic here and there, but I simply DO NOT HAVE TIME.
And I hate it. I'm sorry. I miss all of you. I wish I could be lazy again. But I can't. Even now, there are four different things pressing into my over-wrought brain. Not to mention that That-Guy seemed a tad too familiar with A-Girl over the weekend, and spurred such overwhelming feelings of jealousy that I had to leave the room for fear that I'd bash the poor woman over the head with ... something. I despise jealousy. 'Tis a feeling I've rarely felt. That outbreak over the weekend gave me a rather scary insight into Othello, however, which is fortunate, as I'm expected to write an essay on the play soon. (Gah, Iago is so EEEEEEEEVIL! It was so insanely fun to read his parts!)
Anyhoodle, this is the WAZT for 'Cold Snap:'

Hey, look, a fic!
Mar. 7th, 2009 07:26 pmTitle: Most Important Person
Rating: PG-13 for implications, and a mild swear word
Pairings, Characters: Hiro and Ando, with whatever implications you desire. Mention of Claire and Peter.
Word Count: 1,035 (aprox. Probably the shortest I’ve written in a long time)
Disclaimer: If I owned Heroes, V3 would not have happened.
Spoilers, Warnings: Spoilers through V3 of Heroes, but to be safe, you really should keep abreast of current episodes if you want to read fics at all.
A/N: I wrote this for a fic exchange and shall be getting – of all things – an Antonio/Sebastian (Twelfth Night) fic now that this is posted. I don’t really actively ship Hiro/Ando (not that I have anything against it, I just … don’t) so this can be read as either a ‘naaaaw, they luv each other!’ fic or a ‘naaaaaw, they’re such good friends!’ fic. Did I mention that I SUCK at writing action, but wanted this to be more of a mission-fic, so I bravely attempted it? Or that I’ve spent the past two weeks in intensive Shakespeare play acting and have no idea if my brain is too tired to produce anything good? *crosses fingers*
Prompt: “Keep your hands off my friend!”
( A sort-of-not-really-kinda-sorta-maybe Hando fic )
What aunt_zelda Thinks: 'Trust and Blood'
Feb. 10th, 2009 06:01 pmThat’s it, I’m officially opting out of this round of Knight vs. Anarchy. *sighs* Just can’t do it. Not only does the crossover I started contain one-and-a-half pairings I’ve never written before, I just couldn’t get it working. What with WAZT, personal writings, sonnets that are due, and lines that I have to have memorized, I just can’t do it. *headdesk* I earned five points for my team last round, I hope that makes up for this.
Got a new Dresden File on Sunday. Sixth one, Blood Rites, which is a little slower on the uptake than previous ones, but that’s cool with me because it’s still hilarious in the right places. It’s as if Jim Butcher realized that after five books he thought to himself “Oh, I can take a bit of a breather, they’re good and hooked now! I don’t need to make aunt_zelda late for her classes or keep her up late with my ridiculously suspenceful writing this time!’
On PAGE EIGHT (I kid you not!) I muttered "boys, stop flirting!" I hate knowing that Thomas and Harry are (spoiler alert!) half-brothers, because if they weren't I'd ship them with a fiery passion. Or just mild enthusiasm. (Harry/Marcone all the way, baby.)
Also got my copy of Repo! the Genetic Opera yesterday! Huzzah! Can't wait for the soundtrack to catch up! *dances* Tried to take a nap, then 'woke up' and watched some special features and some of the commentary.
Despite being in a supremely good mood on Monday, I was a little irritable towards the end of the day. I blame the weird dream where my teeth were falling out. That has NEVER happened to me, and I KNOW they're supposed to be bad luck, so I'm quaking in my boots over here. But most of the dream was pretty good: I was in a weird city on this subway, and a friend of mine from RL kept telling me I was being waaaaay too nice, giving up my seats to other people and all. Then I started loosing teeth all over the place, and he helped me pick them up off the carpet on the staircase in the station.
Today I was so-so. VERY tired, but I managed to get through the day and now I’m home, I’ve taken a shower and worked for an hour on my Physics project, and now I’m typing with the cat sitting on my lap. Life is good again.
( Spoilers for all Heroes episodes up until now. )
What aunt_zelda Thinks: Heroes V4 premiere
Feb. 3rd, 2009 05:18 pmFirst off, how did your Superbowl commercial watching go Sunday night? I particularly enjoyed the Heroes commercials (Sylar lip-synching YAY! Surely Heroes: The Bollywood Musical is just around the corner?), the movie trailers, and the one with the dancing lizards.
(Did anyone else find the Steelers’ last touchdown (a guy falling on his face into the out-of-bounds area) incredibly lame compared to the Cardinals’ last touchdown (where the-guy-with-the-dreadlocks outran three HUGE guys and hauled ass into the end zone?) Is this just me wanting desperately to root for the underdog? I only take interest in sports during the last three minutes of the Superbowl, be kind, ladies. I know the Steelers are a ‘better’ team and have the youngest quarterback and are the first team to ever win six superbowls ever, but I wanted the Cardinals to win, damnit! Of course, by the time you’ll all be reading this, I won’t care anymore about the game. )
Also, you should ALL go and watch the PETA commercial that was dubbed ‘too hot’ to air during the Superbowl. I laughed for a good ten straight minutes after watching it online. GO VEGETARIANS! *punches the air* (Definitely NWS, though, guys. It’s VERY racy.)
Did I mention that I got FIVE POINTS for Team Anarchy for my fic in Round 1? *punches the air* But we lost! Waaaaah!
Oh, yeah, you’re all here for WAZT, aren’t you? Bear in mind that this spring I’ll be keeping Shakespeare, Doctor Who specials, the last Lost season, and now Heroes V4 to keep straight in my head. I may snap before May, girls.
( Spoilers for V4 premiere of Heroes, teeny tiny spoilers for Lost S5 )
P.S. Today I was VERY tired, having been on the way to getting that nasty cold that's going around, and the itchy throat thing keeps me up at night. I took naps during my breaks. One guy poked me twice, another actually smacked my ass! I smacked him back, very hard, on his ass after yelling at him very loudly and chasing him a bit, and felt like Annie from the British LoM for several good minutes. It's kinda ... flattering in an awkward kind of way. If only That-Guy (not the one who poked me or slapped me, the one I have a crush on) would try and get me to chase him. He doesn't seem the chasing type. *sigh* The guy who poked me (HARD) I hit on the head with a broom. Many, many people laughed very, very hard after seeing me charge in yelling 'rarrrr!' and brandishing that broom. The afternoon was good for me, but the morning was not.
P.P.S. I ordered Repo! The Genetic Opera, both the DVD AND the soundtrack, via amazon! I got free shipping! YAY!
I still have a cold, I had HORRIFIC dreams last night (one of them involving some of my classmates being robots and trying to strangle me against a wall with a pipe, but I woke up before they killed me so is that a good thing or not? I did pull some awesome moves beforehand, though …), got a bloody nose at three in the morning, and there’s snow on the mountains and frost on the ground down here. And … HE WANTS TO GO TO THE PARTY AS FRIENDS! *SQUEE* This is a START. It is a step in the right direction, the direction that leads to more talking and regular eye-contact!
(So it doesn’t matter if you guys tear this fic down or condemn it as my worst piece yet, because I AM GOING TO THE PARTY WITH THAT-GUY!)
Title:
Rating: R for language and smex. Not graphic smex, but smex all the same.
Word Count: 1, 971 (aprox.)
Characters, Pairings: Adam/Arthur (yes, you read that right) hinted Adam/Hiro, brief cameos of Daphne and Knox.
Disclaimer, Spoilers: I do not own Heroes. I would have thought that was obvious by now. Spoilers up to ‘Dying in the Light’ (aka DAMN YOU TIM KRING YOU SON-OF-A-MARY-SUE!)
A/N: I’m twisting elements from the show’s canon into my own personal verse, and this comes a short time after ‘Eye of the Hurricane.’ (And continuing my trend for lousy titles and creepy Second-Person narration.) This time it’s from Adam’s POV, because I find writing psycho murderers FAR too easy.
This has been in my head since the night of that horrid episode, but of course, I got sick, and them swamped by school and That-Guy, so this was delayed. And, like all twisted, overtly-descriptive smex fics of mine, I am going to blame this on tessykins.
http://aunt-zelda.livejournal.com/87001.html#cutid1 – ‘Eye of the Hurricane’ to which this is a kind of ‘part 2’ I suppose.
( Read ... if you dare! )
In other news, I met my father's new boyfriend at last! I (I mentioned him a while back, this is the first time I met him.) I was worried for naught! I quite like him! We all went out to breakfast this morning, it was nice ...
