Title: Breakfast is the Most Important Meal
Author: cherryice
Fandom and Pairing: Avengers, Steve/Tony
Notes: I blame silverakira and kuwdora for encouraging me when I said that Tony and Emma should be BFFs, then capslocking with me. I do however, thank them for their patience! Especially silverakira, as she was excellent enough to beta even after this got a little away on me. Contains references to PTSD and a canonical suicide attempt by a minor character.
Wordcount: 11,100
Summary: In which Steve is kind of a fossil but his squishy parts and feelings are still intact, Bruce hates blueberries, there's a mysterious banging coming from Tony's lab in the basement, and Emma Frost is not actually a stripper.

Also at the AO3.

Title: The Beat and the Pulse
Author: cherryice
Fandom: Power Play <3<3<3<3
Pairing: Colleen Blessed/Brett Parker
Notes: For atatteredrose in Yuletide 2011!
So, apparently I forgot to also post this! This is the story that was basically jumping up and down and waving its arms around and hollering that I wrote it, as it is A) Power Play, B) a song title from a Canadian indie band in high rotation on CBC Radio 3, and C) POWER PLAY. Which is the show of my heart. And a shows whose fannish works I have now created 2/5ths of.

Colleen's life is easier without Brett Parker. (Easier isn't everything.)

I am super behind on things! Pretend that this post is from before the big Yuletide reveal! And that there is a reason to use this many exclamation points!

I got two awesome stories this year!

Something in the Guns [The Walking Dead], which is a lovely character study of Andrea and Dale post 2x05;

Ms. Frizzle and the Van School for Gifted Boys [The Magic School Bus, Inception, Calvin and Hobbes, Torchwood/Doctor Who, BSG, Fringe], in which there is a multi-fandom field trip to the Large Hadron Collider. I don't think I need to tell you how happy that makes me!


I didn't bother doing the 'guess what I wrote!' thing this year, because one of the stories I wrote was in a fandom I have never mentioned (because that is how I roll, and the first sign of a fandom from me is often 'Hey, look, here's a vid in a thing that I enjoy!'), and other was pretty much jumping up and down and hollering about how I wrote it.

In other year-end thingies I am getting to after the year ends:

Vidding Meme!

February: L.E.S. Artistes [Terminator Movies, Sarah Connor, Festivids pinch hit]
August: Land's End [Doctor Who, River Song]
Gotta Boyfriend? [Scott Pilgrim vs the World]
We Rule the World [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]

( Babbling and bobbling. )

There was another meme going around a while back where you could ask writers or vidders about any of their choices! I don't remember exactly how it went, but something about if you had choices at song/clip/word choice or characterization or intent, you could ask! In the off chance, you are interested, ask away! If you ask about anything I wrote in high school, however, my answer will likely be along the lines of "Well, at that point, I also thought it was a good idea to name myself after a snow cone/popsicle/etc."

And now a break from our regularly scheduled radio silence and/or grad school freak outs.

I have just made the most delicious thing that I have ever cooked/foraged. And it was so easy I was able to tweet the recipe. There's about 10 minutes of actual work involved.

It is -- wait for it -- wait for it -- candied cranberries. They are perfectly tart-sweet and full of cranberry goodness. I may have accidentally eaten all the cranberries.

( Om nom nom candied cranberries. )

What are people's favourite super simple and delightfully delicious recipes -- desserty or real foody?

I'm offering a 1,500+ word fic for auction at help_japan. More details here. (I'll note that I stopped listing fandoms after awhile -- if I've ever mentioned it, vidded it, or written it, it's fair game, as are a number of other options, and I'm willing to acquire and watch/read source of reasonable length).

I encourage everyone to take a look around at the entire community. There's a lot of great stuff up for offer, and we've all been following the news. It's cliche, but every bit really does help.

Do you like supporting excellent causes, like Christchurch earthquake relief? Have you ever wanted your very own vid by the always fantastic obsessive24?

obsessive24 is auctioning off a full length vid to help support relief and recovery efforts in her home town. You can place a bid or get more details here.

I did not know this, but apparently (at least sometimes) you cannot just forward date a back-dated entry and have it show up on people's lists. As such, I find myself in the odd position of making a vid announcement for what is now the second entry in my LJ.

I missed the sign ups for festivids this year, but I did participate by picking up a pinch hit.

Title: L.E.S. Artistes
Fandom: Terminator Movies
Music: L.E.S. Artistes - Santigold
Summary: Sarah Connor. To tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall.

Notes: Made for khaiell as a pinch hit for festivids. Many thanks to elynross and kuwdora for beta and encouragement.

Here is a year-end wrap-up, coming to you belatedly from the new year! I made about twice as many vids this year as I usually do, eight as opposed to three to four.

Other milestones reached when I wasn't paying attention: I have apparently been on LJ for nine years. That is almost a decade. In this time, I have apparently made just over 1000 posts, which is actually more than I expected. I suppose I used to be spammier.

( Vidding Meme 2010 )
Other things I did this year:
Moderated a motion panel at VVC, and promised I would post the notes. I still have the notes, but I doubt anyone is interested.

I did an interview with vid_commentary, which can be found here.

Three fics (two of which I am actually extremely proud of):
The Shape of a Sooner State - Fringe
A Case of Curious Tuesdays - Pushing Daisies
(waves) break upon the shore - Inception

Dear Porn Spammer,

You know, I really do respect your dedication and tenacity. It is admirable.

However, I really do think that if you're going to be putting in the effort, there are a large number of places where you could greater exposure than in the comments of my vid posts.

Just saying.

Cherry

Which is to say that anonymous comment screening is engaged again. I don't like screening anon, but I am just not on LJ enough to clean it up in proper order.

Notes: Written for brodeurbunny30 in Yuletide 2010. Many thanks to kuwdora and sprat for beta. Spoilers through 3x9, Marionette. Originally posted at Archive of Our Own.

It is the little things that are hardest to remember.
