Challenge:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it’s over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.
Disclaimer: I don't own. Songs belong to Papa Roach, Flyleaf, Avril Lavigne, Trapt, Hannah Montana, Lifehouse, Nickelback, The Calling, Red, and Miranda Cosgrove
None of the stories are directly related, just random Kirk/Spock goodness

Upon the recommendation of someone commenting on this guide, I picked up a copy of Spock's World, and, man, did it ever blow me away!

Spock's World by Diane Duane
How do I love this novel? Let me count the ways. It’s basic premise is that Vulcan is considering withdrawing from the Federation, thereby recalling all its resources and effectively isolating or exiling its population. But since they are such a civilized people, they decide to put humanity on trial first to prove that men are either 1) Imitative monkey-barbarians who need to be protected from the superiority of Vulcan influence, or 2) war-like imperial barbarians too depraved to be associated with. Sounds like fun, right? But what makes this book so truly fantastic is Dr. McCoy – and, no, I am not being prejudiced. He effectively pwns the entire Vulcan race, and he does so by being a lying, stealing, psychoanalytically manipulative bastard. :)

Rating: 5 (for radiance)

The LiveMocha.com Finnish course is easing me into deeper waters. So far so good.

My last writing exercise, which a commenter tells me I did without mistakes - a first, I think:

What are you doing this week? What activities are you doing? When? Which days will be the busiest?

Maanantaina opiskelen suomea. Tiistaina kirjoitan ja käyn punttiksella. Keskiviikkoisin neljältä käyn ostoksilla, satoi tai paistoi. Torstaina aion siivota kotiani.

Monday, I study Finnish. Tuesday I write and go to the gym. On Wednesdays at four I go shopping, rain or shine. Thursday I'll clean my house.

Why did you first start reading Sherlock Holmes stories?  What draws you to Holmes / Watson?  How do you like to interpret their relationship and why?

( Food for thought. )

Argh, why isn't LJ letting me upload new userpics?

I always want to do something on New Years Eve, but I don't really like going to super-crowded bars. Which makes it hard to find something to do, because I don't want to sit at home by myself either.

Title: A Talent for Violence
Author: estas_absentis
Rating: NC-17
Characters: Holmes/Watson (Film-verse, but canon compliant if you exclude certain references).
Disclaimer: If I owned either of these two, I would NOT waste time on lj...
Summary: The title's not exactly appropriate... not much kink. A short PWP set somewhere in the first 35 minutes of the film.
Warnings : Slash, obviously. Pretty much PWP. Slight angst, I suppose.




( You're not setting me a prescription )

I am new to this fandom and still trying to find stories and places/websites to visit...

So witch websites would give me good kirk/spock stories?


And while I am at it, could you recc some really good long ones? I am really partial to anything that is set in the new time set up with the Star Trek 2009 movie...


Thanks!
