Whimsical Musings

[Error: unknown template qotd]

If we're talking the classic greek/roman myths, then it's gotta be Hades/Persephone :)  I love, love, love that story. It's a pairing that has endless tortured/angsty possibilities :D  yum.  :)  hehehe.

But in terms of an actual creature, while I'm a fan of anything that goes bump in the night, the prize has to go to Dragons.  
Chinese dragons (wingless serpentine-like creatures who fly) have more sentimental value for me.  These creatures bring good luck, good fortune and auspiciousness (if that's a word).  
The western Dragon (large winged creatures) are great too.  And I really dislike the stories where dragons are killed or hunted. :(   

So, Goldenlake's   SMACKDOWN writing competition is here again for 2011 :)

Tuesday 8th to Sunday 13th March

Fight A: Arena One
Dom/Evin v Zahir/Jonathan

I'm going to have to write for Zahir/Jon here, as Dom/Evin really doesn't do much for me. Plus there's the more important reason of ubiquitous_girl .

I've never written J/Z before, and quite frankly didn't know where to start. It's definitely not a pairing I'm familiar with. But armed with a brand spanking new purrty writing journal and shiny purple pens, I successfully bribed my muse into co-operating with me. I'm on a J/Z roll.

Although, I've only written Jon's internal monologue so far. I deed to switch scenes and start writing some dialogue & action! *wiggles eyebrows* I have to say though. I thoroughly love torturing Jon. :) bwahahaha.

( Thoughts, pairings, fics & more ... )

OMG, OMG, WOW.

I just watched the TrueBlood Finale!!! *eeee* *squee* *flail*

Who's watched it?

Can I just say

I would like to blame treanz for the fact that I now have an R rated sms inbox on my phone.

One Sentence Week is looking like it's going to have to be held on goldenlakeadult from the looks of the George/Jon and George/Jon/Alanna smut she was texting me. :P 

On a side note, I'm really loving George/Jon/Alanna right now! :) 

How do you get yourself out of a funk?

I have zero motivation at the moment. :( *sulk*

Ideas?

Hi flist

I know I've been largely absent for the last few weeks.  Sorry, *blushes*  I've just been so brain dead after work that I really cannot come up with anything vaguely intelligent/interesting to say here, lol.  :P

I'm thinking of booking a trip to France (for about 2 weeks or so) in end of December-January.  Can anyone recommend any good places to book cheap flights and tours? I'm ok for the flight i think, I just need tour info.  There's so many tours offered everywhere it's so hard to tell what's a good site and what's a dud.   I'm interested in food and wine tours, general touristy attactions, and most importantly, castles!! :) 

I'm thinking at the moment it's going to be Paris, the Loire Valley and however many of the towns in southern France as I can fit in.  :) 

I found this site "InfoHub Specialty Travel Guide" http://www.infohub.com  It looks promising and I love some of the tour offerings.  Has anyone heard/used it before?  Are the tours from there generally any good? 

I'd really appreciate whatever recommendations/tips you have about touring France!  I'm thinking maybe just book the flights and accommodation in the cities I want to visit, and then figure out what to do and where to go when I get there.  The hotels should have info on good local tours right? 

Also, OMG *SQUEEEEE* FRANCE!!!!!!!!!!!

Length: 238 words
Character: Wyldon
Summary: George stumbles upon an unwelome sight in the dangerous Scanran border.
A/N: Written for Goldenlake's One Night Stand Weekend


( George cursed the Trickster, wondering what he’d done to annoy the god this time. Rubbing his eyes in an attempt to forget what he just saw, he considered what he was going to tell Alanna. She wanted to know what his latest journey into the Scanran border would uncover. But he couldn’t possibly tell her this ... could he? He shuddered as he imagined her reaction.  )

A/N: Let's just pretend I posted this yesterday??? [i]*shifty eyes*[/i]
here @ the_unseelie

( George fingered the scars on his arm as he carefully cleaned his knives. Two jagged ribbons ran up his left forearm and around his triceps. They were barely a month old, still pink and puckered.  )

WELCOME BACK MUSE :)

I'm finally working on my original story again :) I'm half tempted to turn it into a novel length story. It will be based from this short story I wrote back in high school. I've figured out where my villain is going to come from. Now to pick a protagonist ... and a city ... Anyone got a good suggestion for where they think a modern day vampire story should be set?


I'm hoping writing my original story again will also lead me to writing more fanfiction. Just in time for TORTALL FANFICTION SMACKDOWN (the fanfic battle for Kel's hand) being held in Goldenlake.


I should also finish my Kel/Wyldon/Vivenne fic Currious Arrangement at some point :P
