Follow Your Inner Moonlight

My word count suuuuuuuuuuuuucks. I like my eclecticmuses and licenseartistic responses with Remus, though. And the AU stuff with Wilson. House and Wilson at au_muses make me happy even when they're being angsty turds.

As always, comments are welcome. Rule(s) are as follows: if you comment on either of these journals when I write in them from a first person POV, I'll answer with the character if the replies aren't marked as OOC. So comments on characterization and the writing in general and things like that should have an "OOC" label in the subject line. I'm more than happy to talk to you as the character, though, as long as the post was from a first person POV to begin with.

I actually came up with some stuff that I liked this month. For once there's nothing in this list that I dislike. Go me! In February, I think I'm going to try to include the Ducklings 2.0 in some of my Wilson stuff. Just to test and see exactly how poorly I write them. XD

ahahahaha I FAIL. I only got, like ... 4,000 words written for NaNo and almost all of my November prompts were late, anyway. I didn't even write for theatrical_muse at all in November. I have to get that done by ... Wednesday, I think? Tuesday or Wednesday. Or else I get the boot! Can't do that. I was only just accepted. So that's my task for tonight. But here's what I did manage to write. I think I like Wilson's for licenseartistic the best.

Note that here "canon-compliant" is really more like "not blatantly contradicting canon." Whereas hpsixwords stuff ... is. Because we're on crack over there, yo. It's "19 years later" and a whole bunch of dead people are back. I don't think we really know why. They just ... are. I guess because it's fun and we're not bothering anybody except maybe occasionally each other. XD

And guys? I'm usually not one to actually ask for feedback but I'm kind of proud of a couple of these even though I've been really despising my writing lately so it'd be cool if I got some encouragement and/or concrit.

from shy_sly_lupin:

The hpsixwords AU got a little intense and heavy for some of the players, so another community was created. grownhp6words takes place ten years after the events of its mother community. In this universe, Remus (r_moony) and Tonks (pinkhairedauror) have three kids after Teddy; twin girls named Andrea Cassiopeia and Annabella Minerva, and a boy a year younger named Harry Alastor. I have the immense pleasure of writing Anna Min.

Here are some fun facts about her, including what she thinks about each member of her immediate family.

As I was reading The Book of Werewolves by Sabine Baring-Gould, Anna Min had a reaction to a passage. I turned it into a scene/ficlet which you can read here.

I didn't do this last month, so here's my June and July writing round-ups together. I particularly recommend Remus' "music and cats" one. McGonagall shows up! That one needs some fanart, srsly.

Before I lose your attention, all two of my fans should know that they can go here to request Wilson ficlets from me. It's a list of 25 things that I've picked (like drunk!Wilson and teenage!Wilson and handyman!Wilson). People get to choose one and give me an additional prompt and (eventually) they will get a fic written for them. Go and request away!

This is a slide show that displays racism in advertising through the years. If you're easily offended, you probably shouldn't look. But if you can view it in an academic way and remember the historical context and things like that, it's a very interesting read.

Cuteness roundup! I've done puppies, polar bears, llamas, and ducklings. Today I bring you snuggling kittens.

So, I think once I did a year-long writing round-up thing, posting links to all the fic I wrote over the course of a turn around the sun. But I've most certainly never done a monthly writing round-up. I guess I figure I post everything here so you'll see it when it gets put up and if you're interested enough to read it on the spot or bookmark it for later then that's good and if you're not interested then that's fine, too.

That's still my philosophy, mostly, but now I write some stuff that's not going to be posted here directly. I've joined some monthly prompt comms for muses -- one with Remus and several with Wilson. If you want to friend them and keep up with it that way, the Remus journal is remus_jay_lupin and the Wilson one is pancake_master. But I'll post links here to what I've written there at the end of each month.

I have some rules I'd like you to follow if you want to comment on these! Uh... Well, pretty much only one rule. And that would be this: if you comment on either of these journals when I write in them from a first person POV, I'll answer with the character if the replies aren't marked as OOC. So comments on characterization and the writing in general and things like that need an "OOC" label in the comment's subject line. I'm more than happy to talk to you as the character, though, as long as the post was from a first person POV to begin with. Keep that in mind. :D Thanks!

You know what makes me happy? Looking at Robert Sean Leonard makes me happy. And Wilson makes me happy, even when he's making me sad/angry/whatever at the same time. So here's a mini picspam. Just three screencaps from various places in season two.

( Awww, RSL. ♥ )

( Is he colorblind? )

( HOUSE/WILSON EVIDENCE, GUYZ!!!1! THEY ARE SO CANON! )

So, that's my squee for the day. :) Enjoy.

Okay. When I posted my House commentary to my journal, I'd already seen at least three posts on my flist which either consisted entirely of or included "WTF, Wilson?!" So I labeled the fact that I'm totally on Wilson's side as an unpopular opinion. At pagingdrhouse, which is the House meta community that everyone should join, they posted a list of people's commentary. Looking at it, I had no idea how right I was.

In the past couple of days I've seen Wilson called evil (seriously), a cunt, an asshole, mean, a bully, a bastard, a jackass, a dick. (Some of these things are true, but not because of anything in this particular episode, IMO.) People want to slap, kick, hit, punch and otherwise inflict physical harm on him.

( cut for spoilers )

If Wilson had all the information that we have and was still acting the way he's acting, then he'd be an asshole. But that isn't the case. As for "evil," that's just idiotic.
