random things - this is a very Christmassy post, what the hell.

Okay, first:

THE HAWAII FIVE-0 CHRISTMAS TROPE FEST

1st - 31st December 2011


Rules, Dates and Other information
Prompt post


Do prompt, because I want to write it. There.

Am back at work. Still feeling a bit shit but there are things to be done, and I'm partly responsible for this project we're on so I got things to do! Which is something I like, mind you.

I want all the weird supernatural stories, these days. Like, with Halloween approaching I want zombies (although I wrote that, coming to you Saturday!) and vampires and apocalypses and aliens and all of it. Feel free to prompt me if you like! I have 2 fics I absolutely need to write for an exchange and an auction, but, still.

Is anyone into making up a present wishlist for Christmas? Like, I've seen this done before - people set up wishlists on their journals and if someone can/want to get someone else a gift, they do so. I've sent people drawing easels and other things a few years ago, it was most lovely. You can be asking for fic, for art, or for actual things that people can buy for you. I loved doing this, but I'm not going to put up a list if I'm the only one...

Also, it has started: I'm officially starting to get excited about my birthday coming up. I'm one of these people, I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY. I am an attention whore, oh my God.

I really hope people prompt, because we need all the squee! :D

And here's my prompt to you: the reason that Danny always wears buttoned-up shirts and slacks and stuff is because he has a tail. A slim, prehensile tail that curls to fit his ass and hides along his thigh. Steve somehow finds out, and instead of horrified he's ridiculously turned on. Up to you what species Danny actually is.

Yay birthday!! OH GOD, I'll try to have your story written by then! And I like the wishlist idea, too! :)

Squeeing has to be done, yes! And allll the Christmas stories, omg, all of them.

Mahahaha, oh, Danny, you have all the luck.

You've still got some time, it's not tomorrow ;D.

Oh, please come check out the prompts at the Halloween Hula. five_0_frolic Or submit some supernatural ones because I'd love to read some of those.

Excited about the Christmas Trope Fest too!

oh, I did, hoping there would be some supernatural ones with zombies and ghosts, but everyone has submitted like, trick-or-treating prompts for now :(. Kinda want a ghost story...I'll check again and if I have ideas I'll definitely prompt!

Christmas!!!!

There were a couple of ghost ones and I did a sort of generic zombie one. But yeah, mostly costumes, trick or treating. But you can post anything you want, doesn't have to fill a prompt. Just a thought. I'll try to think of some more supernatural ones.

Did you know about the new film about the Elmo puppeteer? It's a documentary about him. (re: your icon)

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, I'll check it out again!

No, I did not - although to be honest, I am really not that knowledgeable when it comes to Elmo and his friends!

I am excited about the Christmas fest. I commented that it might be just the right thing to get me into the Christmas spirit this year, and I'm hoping that I might be able to contribute. It could be so much fun.

Re present wishlists: I've seen this done numerous times as well over the years. Another thing that could be fun to do! And it's nice to have both Fic/art/graphic-y things offered in addition to actual things you can purchase so that everyone can participate, and it doesn't feel like it's limited to people that can buy things, you know?

It's awesome when birthdays bring excitement and not dread, so yay for that!

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

yeah - every time I've done this wishlist thing I've wished for fic and art as much as other things people can buy, because heh, not everybody can afford to buy things for people! Which is perfectly understandable - I couldn't have done two years ago myself. I just want this to be happy making!

Heeeee, I've always loved my birthday! It's the one day of the year where I feel like I'm entitled to demand attention ^_^.

I've never made/took part in a whishlist, but I'm making Christmas cards for my LJ friends. :)
