prison for jerks

Because there's just enough time left in the year to fit one more meme in, I guess!

END OF YEAR FEEDBACK MEME
my thread here

There is a love meme going around. I can never resist them at the best of times, and today I happen to be especially sick and pathetic, so I'm not even going to try.

Once someone has a comment thread about them, leave a comment and tell them about something they've done or made that you liked. A kind word, a signalboost, a drawing, a story. This can be short or long. You can just name or link to something, or go into more detail.

My thread is here.

One of these days I am going to get around to doing a real update, I swear it, instead of just these drive-by pop-ins. Soon!

Some answers for the "story I didn't write" meme! They're all a little over the one-to-three sentence guidelines, but I don't think anybody will mind.

spuffyduds prompted The one where Billy Tallent's daughter Billie hits her teenage years and discovers punk history and becomes obsessed with Joe Dick and Billy has to deal with THAT..

rubynye prompted I really adore the story you wrote where Charles and Raven dp'd Erik -- having Charles tied up with metal the whole time, communicating only in fervent thought and grunts from behind the doorknob gag, was sheer brilliance, but then the whole story was.

pocky_slash prompted: Remember that time you wrote a story about teenage Charles and Erik on a field trip with their class? And how they snuck away from the group and it was really thrilling to be doing something to blatently against the rules, but also thrilling to be doing it with each other because they were both nursing crushes that they thought were unrequited? And also there was kissing? REMEMBER THAT STORY?

So apparently there's another love meme going around? I'm not proud of my addiction to these, guys, I'm really not. But it's not only really gratifying to get these comments to save and look at when you're depressed and self-conscious and needy, but I also appreciate the chance to be reminded to say awesome things about people I love.

So, here: My thread at the YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL meme.

Taking this one from the lovely pocky_slash, because - fun.

1. Clear your schedule for five minutes (or longer if you have time, I'm not gonna turn down more fic).
2. Then look under the cut tag, where you will find ten prompts, all of which are song titles (selected at random from my iPod).
3. Choose one of the prompts, and - using any appropriate fandom/character[s] (meaning ones you think I might enjoy) - write.
4. Reply with your teeny weeny story in the comments to this post.
5. Repost this in your journal and make your friends write for you!

( Prompts )

Man, I am loving this meme - both answering it and leaving prompts for everybody.

Here are the prompts I have filled so far!

On LJ:

+ The one where Charles is disturbed by how much Erik's sex-tears (post or during) turn him on.

+ Charles and Moira drunken lol hang on Charles, you're gay! make outs.

+ The one where Raven and Moira hang out and maybe make out. Or something.

+ The one with Charles and Erik and a baby.

+ That one where Erik and Charles are ladies!

+ The one about that picture (the picture in question is this, for reference)

On DW:

+ Older Charles and Erik check into reports of mutant powers in a Mountie living in Chicago

I'm going to go make my birthday cake now, but feel free to continue asking for more of these!

The "What I've always wanted to tell you" Meme

Yep, it's one of those memes. You guys know what to do.

Here is a meme, just in case you were thinking "hmm, it is too long since we heard Pearl babble on about her many opinions." You were, admit it.

1. Comment with any ship from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about (if it's a fandom I only know by osmosis, this could be hilarious).
2. I will rant about aforementioned romantic ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust or evocations of apathy, depending on what it is.
[note: it doesn't have to be a romantic ship, though if you don't want it to be, you should say so.]
