entirely ruined her disposition with books

Tonight I was going to go to a potluck with the single's group from church (not a meet-someone-to-marry singles group, just a we-hang-out-and-we-aren't-married-like-everyone-else group). I should have gone. I really should have. But I stayed home instead and continued to write, and I'm telling myself that when I get published I can look back at this and think, "That was a good decision because it gave me more practice which made me a better writer."

I'm choosing to ignore the fact that what I wrote was 7,000 words of cracky gender!swap Infinite fic where Sungyeol wakes up as a girl. Because that is irrelevant.

Y'all, I am so, so bad at socializing. So bad. I am also bad at not writing weird fic.

I wanna write some WooYeol fic before I have to drop everything for NaNo. So...prompt me? We'll see if anything gets me writing?

+ It's Friday! Yay! Even though the weeks go by so much faster now than they used to, it's still nice to reach the end of the week and know that I have more at home time for the next couple of days.

+ To celebrate, y'all should watch this performance by the leader of my ridiculous boy band because it is glorious. And not even slightly kpop-y, so if you don't like that kind of music (I mostly don't either, which is hilarious to me), that's okay: you can still like this. It's beautiful. I can't imagine not loving it.



Sometimes when I get in a bad mood I watch Sunggyu's performances on Immortal Song 2 (of which this is one), and then I just feel better about the world because they are all amazing in their own way. Boy is talented.

+ And for your daily dose of sex, here is the love of my life. Watch it in 1080!



+ ( and now for a brief ramble about my feelings about one Lee Sungyeol )

+ ( in which I crack myself up SO MUCH and am delighted by my own hilarity )

+ Haven't seen Vampire Diaries yet because I went out to dinner last night with the BFF who I hadn't seen in weeks. I think I might avoid tumblr till I get a chance to watch it? Possibly. I'm not really sure. But you can tell me if you liked it or not in the comments if you so wish.

+ I watched the Big Fat Quiz of the 90s the other night, and I swear the last seven minutes are the most hilarious/horrifying thing I have ever seen. I was SCREAMING and laughing and cringing and this isn't even a British cultural artifact that I'm familiar with and it DID NOT MATTER.



+ If anybody sees Argo, let me know how you like it. Looper, too. I'm tempted to go see them, especially Looper because of my Rian Johnson feelings dating back to Brick, but of course only if they're good.

+ As far as reading goes, I read The Devil in the White City and LOVED IT. It's been a while since I gobbled up a book like that and it felt good. This post sums up my experience with reading any of substance that's not fanfiction for the past year or two. I hadn't ever heard anyone else articulate it before, and it made me feel better to know that I'm not alone. I remember the days where I would read two or three books a week, constantly reading, constantly constantly constantly, and I miss that. A lot. But knowing other people sometimes get "reader's block" makes me feel better.

And if you can think of any other nonfiction books that are that easy to read, that interesting, that focused on something random from history, you should totally rec me because I want to read them.

+ My parents have been married for 29 years as of a week or two ago. This makes me ridiculously happy, because they still enjoy each other so much and have such a strong marriage. They've definitely, definitely had rough patches and they fight and hurt each other of course. But even when my friends' parents started divorcing, I never once worried that mine would. I felt really...safe with my parents' marriage, if that makes any sense. I feel like much of my love of the institution of marriage (and my narrative kink for marriage, too) stems from growing up around a good one, one where it was clear they worked very, very hard at maintaining it (not to imply that other people don't work hard and things still don't work out). And if I ever get married myself, I will have so much wisdom to build on, and that is a very great gift. I'm really proud of what they've built. It's really beautiful.

+ To be even more sappy for a brief moment (you know how I am), I just want to say how much I love y'all. kwritten and I have been exploding with love for fandom as community and dialogue with art, etc. lately and for good reason. My friends I've met through fandom have been such a beautiful part of my life--I value my friendship with you as much as I do any "real life" ones. The fact that I can have conversations with you about the nature of art, about how I feel about writing and about how Mr. Blobby makes me laugh/cringe is just one of my greatest pleasures in life. I sometimes feel as though I should feel that I'm lacking something since most of my current friendships that aren't with the BFF/members of my family are all online, but I don't feel that way at all. I get what I need, human-communication-and-connection-wise, from y'all. So thank you for that.

Hey, y’all! Well, the end is in sight for Shoot to Kill (which I’m trying not to think about too much, because I’m going to be bereft when it’s over—I don’t know how I'll handle it). And of course that’s gotten me to thinking about what I should write next. I have several fics in the works (a post-apoco OT7 fic because I am me, more of my uni!AU that I’ve dubbed the toaster ‘verse, some more angsty MyungYeol-shaped things), but I’m also kind of wanting to write another long, chaptered WooYeol fic.

So this is a post about that. The first question: would you read such a fic, even if it’s pretty different than Shoot to Kill? Please answer the poll!

[Poll #1867871]


If your answer to the first question was anything but no, I’d love to hear what kinds of fics you’d like to read. I’m open to doing AUs or ‘canon,’ whatever, so long as it’s not too, too plotty. It’s better for me when I can have sort of a vague plot but keep most of the attention on the relationships between the characters. So do you have any ideas? I of course have a few myself, but none that I’m married to quite yet, so I’d love to hear some prompts. Feel free to throw as many ideas as you possibly can at me in the comments!

And I also want to take a moment to thank everyone who’s been reading and (especially!) reviewing, whether you’ve been reading since the beginning or just got into the fic. I’ve written this one because I can’t not write it, but you have no idea how much joy I get in knowing that people are enjoying it, and your enthusiasm and kindness has definitely inspired me each time I’ve sat down to write more. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ♥

Y'all.

I just read an Infinite fic that was a Firefly!AU and Sunggyu is so Mal it hurts and Sungjong is the mechanic, but that's not the focus of the fic because it's Sungyeol/Myungsoo and I can't believe this exists.

Nothing makes me happier when my fandoms get crossed over.

this is a "Prince Sungyeol should have long hair all the time because he is too damn pretty that way" post.

( pretty boy! )

This has been a post.

Title: shoot to kill (my heart is a smoking gun)
Chapter: 10/to be determined
Fandom: Kpop: Infinite
Pairings/Characters: Sungyeol/Woohyun with a healthy side-helping of Sungyeol-Myungsoo BFFery and the rest of the OT7 in supporting roles
Genre: angst, romance (if these insecure emotional idiots can ever have anything as simple as romance), drama
Rating: R
Summary: How the hell is he supposed to make it through this day—through his goddamn life—while carrying around the memory of the way that Woohyun’s mouth tastes and the sounds he makes when he comes? Sungyeol has absolutely no idea what's going on between himself and Woohyun, much less why it's going on, and it doesn't seem likely that he'll figure it out any time soon.


( chapter 10 )

I promised Nicki I would make her an Infinite ships post, and I was going to do something brief on tumblr, like a paragraph for each of the major ships, but I am me and completely incapable of being anything but verbose, so this turned into a monster. Who even am I?

So you've got 7 really attractive guys in this band, all of whom are always hanging all over each other, some of them because they're naturally demonstrative, some of them because that's their job, but either way: obviously people are going to ship things. Here's a rough guide to the bigger ships in fandom and also to the smaller things that I personally ship. Yay!
