Despite my best intentions, it's been a long time since I last updated this journal. Since my last update, I've graduated college, looked for a job, started a job, bought my first car, and, as of today, turned 22. Oh, I've also started up a Facebook account for the first time ever, as my RL friends insisted. I'm still at the stage of eying it suspiciously. Anyway, at the moment my life is busy and often confusing, but overall I'm happy. ^_^

So, in my previous post, annotated_em asked me what my "top ten favoritest fics ever" are, and what my "favorite characters/fandoms and why" are. Both of those questions require an extensive response, especially the first, so I'm breaking my answers up into several posts. In fact, asking me to list my 10 most favorite fanfics is really, really hard, so I've decided to tackle them in two groups- short fics and long fics- and then I might have another post about some WIPs I'm excited about, and maybe another about some awesome authors I might not have mentioned yet.

It's still a difficult task, but at least this way I don't have to bring out the "creative mathematics" and redefine 10 as, say, 50. *sparkles*

TL;DR- I'm going to start with 10 of my favorite short fics, where I'm defining "short" as "less than 20,000 words." There will be lots of really awesome short fics that I'm not mentioning, of course. You can see some of them here.

Anyway, in no particular order, here they are:

( ten awesome fics ahead! )

By the way, if you want to leave your own question or prompt, you still can. ^_^

It's been over two months since my last post, so I suppose I really should write something. I've had this journal for nearly a year now, and this will be my... 14th entry, I think? Oh well, at least this isn't a paid account.

Anyway, I've been really busy lately. I'm graduating in less than four weeks now, I have a lot of tests/papers/projects ahead of me, and I still don't know what I'm going to next. Guys, my life plan ended with college. I have no idea what I want to do in the Real World. *beats head against table*

In more cheerful news, I've recently gotten into Katekyo Hitman Reborn (episodes can be found on Crunchyroll). It's about an ordinary Japanese middle school student who discovers he's the heir to a mafia family. Yeah. Unsurprisingly, complications (and hijinks!) occur. The series bounces between being unexpectedly funny and unexpectedly serious, and despite some problematical treatment of the female characters (shonen series, why do you do this to me?) I'm enjoying it a lot. Also, there's a lot of really great KHR fanfic out there. ^_^

One last thing: kink_finders! It's "a multi-fandom fic-finder community to help you find fics that match a kink you might have -- for a broad definition of "kink" meaning "anything that presses your buttons and gets you excited". That might be something that fits the traditional meaning of kink, or a narrative technique, or a type of character, or whatever." I'm enjoying this community a lot- I like offering recs and seeing what other people recommend for a wide variety of topics. I highly encourage you to join or subscribe- the more people who get involved, the better it will be. *sparkles*

Happy Birthday, edenfalling! I hope you're having an excellent day. ^_^

Happy Christmas, everyone! I'm off to visit family & do vacation-type things, and I won't always have internet access. So if I'm not replying to anything, that's probably why. Sorry, I'll try to catch up later!

^_^

My family & I saw the new Star Trek movie last Sunday. I know I'm a bit behind the times, but it was AWESOME.

Hung out with L & watched FMA on Wednesday- much fun.

And today I went to B&N after work, and read C.J. Cherryh's new Foreigner book, Conspirator. The amount of love I have for it cannot be fully put into words. I think this might be my favorite book of the series so far.

Now I'm waiting for Sarah Rees Brennan's book The Demon's Lexicon to come out- just five more days...

I'm home! Parents are happy, brother is unexpectedly sweet, cats are adorable. Good times.

First final down! Four more to go, and then I can go home. Not that I don't like my college- I do- I'm just so ready for the summer right now. Of course, that just means a different kind of work...

Hi. My name, for the purposes of the internet, is Theodosia21. I've been going by Theodosia for a while now, but when I tried to set up this journal I found that it was already taken. Thus the addition of semi-random numbers to the end. Anyway, let me introduce myself.

( I first discovered fanfiction, and consequently fandom, when... )
