Auf dem Zaun

Heute hat es sich geloht, bis beinah morgens auf zu bleiben und außerdem laufend Drachencommunities zu refreshen. :D Ich hab ein goldenes Ei, von gryffinrose! Geschenkt bekommen. Einfach so! *jubilier*
Und jetzt geh ich schlafen.

Look what I got at Daily Drabble's Wichteln!! Morgana & Arthur sibling fic! (Is that a word, sibling fic?) Isn't it wonderful?

I'm not yet ready to write real posts again, just wanted to wish you all happy holidays - the light is coming back!

Later tonight I'm planning to get involved in some major Yuletide Madness. I have a list of requests I could write something for, and half a fic written.
Is anyone coming to join me, in schreibwut (on aim) maybe?

Ah, and I just bred a mint egg with the code gDU1. Geh Du Eins? Does have a certain charm, doesn't it?
Is there anyone who would like to adopt it?
(shiun, this egg and its sibling were the result of my most recent attempt at breeding a silver for you. It seems you'll have to wait for this Christmas present a bit longer, but eventually I will succeed!)

Look, amikira gave me a silver egg!!



Isn't it beautiful? I am ridiculously happy.

It is quite strange that when I'm as busy as I currently am (and it feels like a lot is happening), I have no idea what to post about.
Despite the discussions I had today - but then they were about super-relevant social issues which I am not going to try and talk about until I have thought about them even more than I already have.
Blah?
I have forgotten everything else I've been wanting to say. (Anyway, do people who post blah on their journal look like they have nothing to do? I almost didn't dare to post because I didn't want to give off the impression that I wouldn't stick to my obligations but still be writing blah.)

( I'm putting the Dragon Talk behind a cut. There is actual talk, not only eggs. )

PS: Oh, look at her - Sarah Jane, in my icon. I am madly and deeply in love.

[Crosspost vom LJ; ich habe keine Ahnung, ob sich deutsche Comms auf IJ überhuapt lohnen.]

... eine deutschsprachige Merlin-Comm? So riesig, wie das Fandom der Serie nach fünf Folgen schon ist, müßte sich das lohnen.

Falls nicht, jemand sollte eine gründen, und jemand sollte die Eröffnungsfic schreiben.
Dann traue ich mich vielleicht auch an Fic, denn eine Menge (plotlose) Ideen hab ich schon, mein Hirn mag sich aber nicht zwischen englisch und deutsch entscheiden, und auf englisch klappt es nicht.

Ahem...

Wenn ich euch mit den Dingern in Ruh lassen soll, sagt es, ok?

Nono, I'm not really here. You're imagining things.

To be honest, I felt weird without access to the internet as soon as I was in S. and away from other action. It's scary. I don't like it when I find myself showing symptoms of addiction.
Well, I borrowed my mother's computer temporarily and am trying to cut down my computer time instead of not being online at all.

Merlin fandom is not that good for me. Because it is such a young fandom I thought I could actually keep up with things, but there's so much fic, meta, communication going it that looking at one of the comms already overwhelms me. I'm a slow reader, and I have other things I want to do. Plus, I want my own access to the series, my own reading, and I'm letting other people's talk influence me far to much. It will spoil my fun if I'm not careful.

All of this probably is just a symptom, too - it shows that I'm taking fandom too seriously. ( introspection )

I went to the isLove Generator; it gave me a most interesting love bar.

I could probably write another master's thesis in philosophy about this one. ;) But oh, it is so very fitting for me.

Now, the real reason for the seemingly narcisstic post of narcissm is an altrustic one: (haha) Dragon Egg wants to grow up.


PS: My cats! My cats came back from their holidays! Joy! *hugs the cats*

I'm way to tired to write an even remotely reasonable entry, but my dragons grew up and I have two new eggs that need views. So I'll have to talk about something in order to conceal the true purpose of this post.

The best choice of things to talk about would of course be Merlin, not only because it is so very brilliant, but also because I need proof that I've been there at the early days of the fandom. If I don't contribute, how will I be able to say "I started watching Merlin shortly after the third episode aired for the first time", showing off in front of the hundreds of young newcomers who are going to search for fic in five years time? You know, like me. I always come late to fandoms, SJA and Merlin are notable exceptions.

Everyone already talked about this. And my brain doesn't work so well just now because it wants sleep. So, just one thing.

I'm pretty sure the series has a lot more than teh mega slash potential.
As you know, I like slash, but I'm not a real slasher, being equally interested in het, femslash, polyfic and sometimes even in non-shippy stuff if it's good.
When I decide whether I really like a TV or comics series, these days I seem to be all about the teams - the 'main cast' and the chemistry between them, plus the location where it all takes place. Both is brilliant here; all the characters rock. Camelot and the whole (fanfic!)legendary scenario draws me in.
This might also have to do with my other fandoms at the moment, most of which seem to include Excalibur, Great Britain or at least fairies. And yes, of course there are lots of crossovers in my head.

The only thing on TV that is as great as Merlin is The Sarah Jane Adventures. It is so wonderful, I have no words. (I'm so in love with Sarah Jane.) If you like one of these series, you should watch the other. They have the same strenghts and so far none of the weaknesses most other TV programmes show.
I am proud to say:

MY FANDOMS CAN APOLOGIZE WHEN THEY DID SOMETHING MEAN. MY FANDOMS CAN SAY THANK YOU WHEN THEIR FRIENDS SAVED THEIR LIVES. MY FANDOMS CAN MAKE THEIR FANS HAPPY.

Now, dragons.

I adopted the green egg; the orange one is Fyr and Sajasi's child.

Ok, ich fühle mich unglaublich dämlich, aber im Zuge des Prokrastinierens habe ich ein verlassenes Drachenei zwei verlassene Dracheneier adoptiert. (OMG)
Jetzt muß es müssen sie gestreichelt werden. Ich bitte um eure Hilfe.



Ansonsten spiele ich zwei neue sinnlose Browsergames, anstatt wenigstens die schlauen Einträge über neue Fandoms zu schreiben, die in meinem Kopf sind, wenn ich schon nicht die Arbeit korrigiere und fertigstelle. Und ich hab Hunger. Wenigstens fließt das Wasser in meiner Spüle jetzt ab.

Das Drachenkind kann für all das nichts! Seid liep zu ihm.

ETA: Ok, vier... ein Glück darf ich nicht mehr...
