Bread and Circus

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you between one and three sentences from that story.

Just for original fiction reference, I've written steampunk (Legerdemain, Gunpowder Plots, Castling), gothic horror (Daniel Hamish, Antiquary), hardboiled film noir (Steven Sweeney), superheroes (Septima City), and 1950's urban supernatural (A Series of Proposals).

Fandom hints for the second round of my Guess That Ship meme. In no particular order:

Dead Poets Society
Doctor Who
Ocean's series (Eleven,Twelve,Thirteen)
The History Boys
The Fast and the Furious
Wild Wild West

So broken_moons had a great idea about hints, so I'll do the same! Here are fandom hints in no particular order for the remaining unanswered riddles in Guess the Ship Round 1.

Suits

Quickly stolen from distantfridays. 

1. Think of up to 20 ships you support.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given after if asked in the comments.

Umm, I guess the one that guesses the most correctly will get a fic snippet from a fandom and preferred pairing of their choice. (I really REALLY hope you pick a fandom I know)

( Good luck )

The totals are

I am so bad with keeping up with the challenge. I also feel like many of my answers are polarizing and have the high probability of offending people. I'll probably feel bad and make changes tomorrow. 

 2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.

Haha, oops. Forgot to post one yesterday.

Umm, Juvenile Orion, Witch Hunter Robin, Crown Duel, Jurassic Park 3, xxxHolic, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Tinman, Godzilla...

Apart from WHR and Crown Duel, I still write for these fandoms, even if some fandoms think I'm dead because I haven't posted in so long. 

There are a lot of fandoms I'm working on but haven't posted for yet: Stargate Atlantis, The Great Gatsby, Gattaca, Endgame, National Treasure, and some others I'm forgetting. Whew, so much work to do.

 Taken from angstbunny  . Yay.

1 – How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?

2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.

( more questions... )

I'm stealing this meme from randomslasher .

1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

EDIT: terrific job, everyone! The ones in bold are the movies everyone got! Excellent showing! The rest of the movies are filled in with italics.

Post a sentence from the first post of every month, excepting fic posts and memes:

January: Okay, this isn't related at all to the Steven Sweeney stories, but I found it during research and thought it was just the prettiest thing ever.
 

February: After three all nighters, a steady diet of only crackers and coffee, skipping class, choir, and literary debate meeting, smelling a little ripe at the end of the week, wearing the same pile of clothes all week, and then 6 hours in the Stacks (engineering computer lab/workspace- I've heard people sleep there sometimes?) I'm FINALLY finished.
 

March: Best scene ever: Deadpool Shoryukens Kitty Pryde in order to provoke a fight with Wolverine.
 

April: Yes, finally got my computer working again. I thought it was a display driver issue due to Windows 7/NVIDIA noncompatability, but then it started messing up even before it booted into Windows.
 

May: if nothing else comes up for this summer, I'm going to be living in Tokyo for three months doing research in software engineering (UML, Java, object-oriented technology) with one of the faculty members are Shibaura Institute of Technology.
 

June: Then Zhuo and I went to the kyu-kyu (99, aka the 99 yen store) and got some food for the week. And I found TAIYAKI. Another thing I've always wanted to eat checked off the list!
 

July: Today we met Gustabo, who has moved to rural northern Japan to be with his Japanese girlfriend, but came down to visit us for lunch because his girlfriend had a job interview in Yokohama.
 

August: So because I've been getting stuff for other people and nothing for myself, I decided to spend the beginning of my last week in Japan in Ikebukuro becoming materialistic.
 

September: (no posts)
 

October: I went all the way back to my dorm, shut the door, and then began to shake really badly because DEAR GOD, that was the most frightening experience of my LIFE. 
 

November:  He doesn't really resemble young David McCallum, but I can see him fitting the "I am Russian and will now jump kick you in the face and then beat you at chess" persona.

December: Wow! I was just having a discussion with my father about rice cookers use the PV=nRT principle! (we were speculating how rice cookers work)

1 ★ Create a graphic (200 x 200 max size) to represent your personal "candy". It should have your username on it, but otherwise can feature whatever you want. Make it something special since it's self-representative.

2 ★ Make a post with the subject "trick or treat?". Put your "candy" somewhere in it, and be sure to repost these instructions.

3 ★ Then, go around other people's LJs and reply to them with either "trick" or "treat". If you reply with "trick", they will give you an LJ dare that you have to perform before taking their candy. If you're too wimpy for that, simply say "treat" and take their candy.

4 ★ List all your collected candies in your original "trick or treat?" post to show off your collection!

My personal candy is...

STEAMPUNK



From listening to Abney Park, getting all the stuff together for my costume for Halloween, and writing stuff for Legerdemain, Gunpowder Plots, and obseletevulture's Juvenile Orion fic request from a long time ago, I have a lot of steampunk on the brain right now.

COLLECTED CANDIES:


(Skunky-sama insists that Fumu-sama write an entry detailing the revelation that Fumu-sama is secretly a gay robot. It must include the words "my diabolical master" at least once. ^^ ---special points for detailing how Fumu-sama is also leading the robot revolution against Keanu Reeves. DONE)
