I figured it was high time to get organized and make a nifty li'l To Write List. So, here we go!

This is what I'll be working on in the near future. The list will be updated regularly, so feel free to check it occasionally!

Also, for everyone who friended me lately (probably because of my fanfics) - hellooo and welcome! :) Please note, however, that this is my personal journal. My fanfic can be found exclusively here: gaby_fanfic I do post the occasional fic challenge/meme/whatever right here, but the actual prompt fills will only be posted on my fanfic journal, so please monitor/friend/become a member of gaby_fanfic. Thanks! :)

ETA: I'm also slowly adding my stuff to AO3! You can find my fic here. :)

And now, without further ado, The List of Doom:

Fic Challenges/Exchanges:



Commissioned Fic:
* help_haiti fic (minimum word count: 10K) for morganslady and sandhfan
    (ZOMG I CANNOT BELIEVE I STILL HAVEN'T WRITTEN THIS!!! *dies of embarrassment*)
* Sandy Relief fic (minimum word count: 3,500) for cookielaura
Prompt: pending
* Nepal Earthquake fic (minimum word count: 2,500) for elrhiarhodan
Prompt: More in the "Imprinted" 'verse.
* sequel to Wants and Needs for angst_queen_98 (Teh Muses, they are not cooperating...)

Memes 'n Stuff:
*   Lucky 13 AU fics
*   monthly Unwritten Stories Meme fics
*   Fandom Hits Meme (Classic Rocks - Greatest Hits)

...and, since it doesn't fit anywhere else but does deserve a mention here because of the already written 85K or so:
* humongous rigid society Gibbs/Tony AU for taylorgibbs (aka, Teh Plotbunneh That Ate My Brainz, damn you TG anyway!)

I was out all day yesterday and meant to do a scheduled post...and promptly forgot. *hangs head in shame*

So, a day late but still from the bottom of my heart,

HAPPY FRIGGIN' SPANKDAY TO YA!!!

Always remember: You are



:D :D :D

Thank you, Zachary Quinto.

If you feel helpless or aren't in the US to easily join protests or marches, donate to the ACLU. I did. Every damn dollar counts these days.

Or do what someone I know did (before the Muslim Ban, when everyone was "only" up in arms about the abortion stuff):

I was angry at Donald Trump and so I donated $35 to Planned Parenthood as a gift in his name. Then I put the White House address as the 'notification recipient address' so they will mail him a Thank You card. Everybody else who is angry today should donate as well (the minimum you can donate is $5 so if you're angry but also poor, you should be able to still help) : www.plannedparenthood.org/donate

This? Is awesome trolling that helps at the same time. Kudos to Sarah for doing this.

Clearly, the scariest season yet.

Thanks to elrhiarhodan for finding this. [Source]

Time travellers of the world? Now would be a good time to climb into those machines of yours... *prays for the entire world to survive this*

Snaffled from all over my flist...

Grab the book nearest you, turn to page 117. The second sentence will be your life for 2017.

Okay, so I had to find the nearest book in English obviously and there's a stack of books nearby with the following two books among them: Douglas Adams' "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and Anne Bishop's "The Black Jewels Trilogy". (Eclectic taste, you say? Diverse interests, says I.)

Anyway, here's the quote from Hitchhiker: "The old man frowned as he stepped in."

And here's the quote from Black Jewels: "If not, the whole damn court was acting queer."

So, uh...okay then? LOL! I mean, I like older men so JDM, please feel free to join JIB con this year and step into my life by way of a tacklehug!photo op. *g*

I choose to interpret "queer" as "gay" and yes, I plan on filling my life with lots and lots of gay fanfiction. :D

You are still sorely missed. :(

Snaggled from my dearest elrhiarhodan - so blame her for the sudden spammage I bestow upon you. *g* But this looked like fun so I figured I'd give it a shot as well. :)

I promise I'll stop posting now. *g*

Exactly one year ago, after a truly craptastic 2015, I said that things could only get better in 2016.

And then 2016 happened in all its glory.

(Sidenote: FU, 2016. FU sideways. Repeatedly.)

So I'm somewhat reluctant to now say that things can only get better in 2017. But you know what? 2017 will be the year of the Jensen Hug and the Padahug and no matter what other fuckalicious things will be thrown at me, I'll get my hugs and it'll be awesome and counteract any bad stuff that might come my way. SO THERE.

(I hope I didn't just jinx JIB in general and my trip in particular with the statement above... *gulps*)

HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR TO ALL Y'ALL!!! ♥

RIP, Carrie.

*is devastated*

I felt this was appropriate, considering. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

Happy Birthday from me and the boys! ♥

George Michael, too?!

You can seriously fuck off, 2016. Like, right this fucking moment.

*fumes*



First ever Carpool Karaoke with James Corden episode, featuring George.

RIP George Michael.

So, I've been sick for over a week now - it started Wednesday evening but I woke up Thursday morning with a raging headcold that turned into a sinusitis with some serious respiratory problems over the weekend. Yesterday, my ENT doc informed me that my right ear was also infected.

I've basically been in a semi-vegitative state since last Friday. I missed A LOT of stuff obviously, since I've only really been back online today. So, apologies for the radio silence but there's no way I will manage to catch up on my flist. If I missed anything important or fun or, ya know, ridiculously hot 'n sexy, please leave a link to it in the comments.

Speaking of LJ - WTF?! Am I the only one who gets redirected to the actual entry when I click on the LJ-cut link?! This is annoying, to say the least. What's a cut for if you can't expand the post by clicking on it while remaining on your own damn flist feed?!

But then! THEN! I come here to post this update, and the update page is all fucked up! What is this?!



Or this?!



Or this?!?!



And especially, FFS, THIS???



(Sidenote: since I have no way to access my scrapbook - no, even if I open the scrapbook, I can no longer upload to it! - I had to use a different browser to log in under a different LJ username, an account that uses the new style, and lo! I could upload pics there! So I've copy-pasted the html coding from there. If this clusterfuck has anything to do with the fact that I refused to switch to the new style, well, FU, LJ. I will NOT use the new style. Make the old style work. NOW. Fuckers processed the automatic payment for my regular account today of all days. FIGURES. *fumes*)

If this is what LJ is like now, I doubt I'll be pretty active for the time being. Reading my flist is frustrating enough with the damn cut not working properly. Posting is clearly a nightmare. I haven't tried to comment anywhere yet, but chances are that'll be fucked up, too. *shakes fist*

Considering that I'll have quite a bit of fic posting to do in the next few weeks, I'm going to smash my head against the nearest wall right now in preparation for things to come.

Allow me to let John Oliver sum up this year so far - with the LJ fuck-up clearly being the cherry on top.



Now let's hope this works. Since I can't preview my own entry, I have no clue whether any of the embedded links actually work...

ETA: yay! No way to set security to "friends only"! Well done, LJ! Guess I'll just let everyone see my rant against the world in general and you in particular!

There aren't enough NOPEs in the world to convey my feelings right now.



'Murica, why did you do this to yourself?! (And the rest of the world, for that matter.)

There's a tweet out there that sums up the situation perfectly (they read it out loud on the radio so I have no actual link to the source, sorry):

A few months ago, at a con... (paraphrased)

Fan: "Hey, Jensen, how did Jared react when he heard you and Daneel were going to have twins?"
Jensen: "He walked into the kitchen where Gen was and said, "Hey, honey, did you hear the news about the Ackles? They not only caught up to us, they passed us." (beat) "Get in the bedroom!"

Today, on Live With Kelly...

Jared: "I'm a father of two, about to be a father of three in March."

Can I just say I love how competitive Jared truly is. LOL! Congrats on the third Pada-Baby!

Chris Pine is my hero. ♥

Seriously though, I've had to work under people like this (sad but true). Do you seriously want someone like that to be in a position of power? Go vote. Save the US from great harm. Save the damn world from great harm!

Here's a li'l something for ya, somersault_j. You asked for it, I delivered (hopefully).
