Thoughts about Heroes 3x01 and 3x02 (the two hour premiere) )

Remember that Molly/Micah story I wrote like... eons ago? I think I started about it almost a year ago (time's sort of flown away, hasn't it?). Anyway, I'm thinking about continuing it. I got a comment about it today and I just suddenly felt like finishing it because it really became like my own universe where I had the characters running around doing my bidding.

Anyway, for those of you who don't remember, you can refresh your memory because I used the wonderful power of copy and paste and made a PDF-file with all the chapters so you can refresh your memory. Goodbye To All The Things We Knew (PDF)

As you see, I also gave the series a name. I think I'm going to continue it. Anyone still interested in reading it?

PS: I'm sorry that it appears that you have to download the file or something. I tried to avoid it but I have no server to put these things up in. *cries* But hopefully, that's not a problem :D

I've heard school is extremely educational and to demonstrate this, I'm going to make a list of what I've learned today.

1) All the teachers at my school get together and watch Heroes. And apparently everyone loves it - everyone, except my Spanish teacher that is.

2) Bunch of different Swedish authors and poets and their lives.

... I think that's about it. My other lessons were mostly just discussions. But the first bit of news is what I wanted to share with you. I have a school who LOVES Heroes. I'm certain we'd be able to watch an episode in English class for Shannon (English teacher - apparently other countries don't call their teachers by their first name - do you?) because he likes that kind of stuff and I remember when he asked me if I had downloaded any episodes because he'd missed a few when he was in Ghana.

... I need more season one icons uploaded.

The desire to write isn't lessening, which is turning into a problem. I feel as if my fingers are aching to write something... gen. Like, an adventure story or a Heroes gen fic. I guess I've been involved with the shippy things too much lately. Or I want to write a semi-gen fic with Mylar because Mylar is so awesome it basically writes itself.

I uploaded this Moonlight icon today. Cute isn't it? :D Although I can't decide if I ship Mick/Beth. I'm going to go with yes.

[livejournal.com profile] yaoi_anti_drug, just reminding you of your icons. I don't know if you've seen them yet. :D

School starts tomorrow. Let's hope I won't be dead and that I'll get a good night's sleep.

And I know, listening to Christmas music is so last year, but it's Josh and... if it means I have to listen to Christmas music in July, I feel like it's a worthy sacrifice. :D

OMG, I haven't squeed about Adrian Pasdar for ages. OMG, what is wrong with me? How shall I increase the squee? Suggestions?
starsthatshine: (dw: the mystery unfolding)
Do you ever have the feeling that you want to write but you have honest to God no clue whatsoever what. I feel like writing something fandom related for the first time in a long time. I guess it's just fun to play around with other people's characters and make them all these crazy things. Sort of like playing with doll houses but in a more... non-direct way. I'm as mentioned before, feeling the Heroes love, but unfortunately I think I need a brainstorming partner. Anyone game? I have a few ideas of where I want it to go but I can't make sense out of it.

Another eight days before Torchwood starts again. In these worrying time with a writer's strike, it's wonderful that there are some British shows that you can rely on (although they might not be the best in the world). But Jack/Ianto! I'm excited nonetheless and this season seem to top the first by far.

I got an email from my English teacher. Apparently he called the company that was going to supply me with my Cambridge Proficiency workbook, and it's due Friday - again! I swear, it was weeks/months since I ordered them but... oh well, I suppose everyone deserves a break now and again. But keep your fingers crossed because I want it now so I can study for the exam. I need at least a B, which I don't think is going to be a problem, but since it's going to cost a lot, I really want to be sure that I'm going to ace it (or at least get an A) so that the money is worth it.

Also, I made a Joan of Arcadia vid which you can download here. Spoilers up to 1x12

School tomorrow :)

Title: I Do, But I Don't
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Mohinder/Sylar
Summary: "I don't need you. You're poison."
Notes: A sort of missing scene that I ended up cutting from The Essential, but it can also be seen as something that stands on its own. Probably more fun to read after TE, but definitely not necessary. It can be seen as another confrontation fic, set sometime after Powerless. Comments are ♥
Spoilers: Powerless

I Do, But I Don't )
starsthatshine: (heroes: learn to like it)
Name: The Essential
Rating: PG
Pairings: Peter/Elle (friendship but you can look at it like subtext), a pinch of Sylar/Mohinder/Matt subtext (with emphasis on the latter part of the trio because I had to cut a scene in the end), and some Peter/Nathan subtext (but can be seen as "gen" as well). This fic isn't really a shippy one. Sort of. I'm just playing around with the toys that S2 has given me.
Summary: In the aftermath of Powerless, everything changes. Fundamentally.
Notes: As mentioned before, not your average shippy fic but I can add a Mylar scene as a sort of extra little something-something, if you want to, that I had to cut because after that the fic span out of control and had life of its own. Leave comments if you're interested in that extra part (because one can never have too many Mylar confrontations ^^). Also, excuse the title.
Spoilers: 2x11 Powerless

What do you do when everything changes? )

Still alive and well! I'm writing a Ianto/Jack fan fic with a little bit of sweetness but so far it's more of a character analysis than something with an actual plot. Anyone interested in beta?

I think that my fic (Heroes, where I'm basically subtexting Mohinder/Mylar, Elle and well... basically all the characters I have in the fic) will be ready for your reading pleasure.

I'm so sad that the hype that surrounded the Petrellibros and Mylar seem to have faded a bit (but it's sort of natural, I suppose, considering the season we've had where they've basically tried to push the mandatory het ships in our faces - although I must say some I liked, others - not so much). Are you still out there? :D

Need to get out of my Heroes obsession but it's difficult since my sister will be getting her Heroes DVD around the 16th and that means rewatching the loveliness that is season one. But hopefully, I will start loving the X-Files a bit more since I'm getting S1 and S2 around the same time. :D

I don't know if you're bothered by my Heroes musings. But if you are, I bet I'm going to write about the X-Files, and about Torchwood (since it's starting soon ♥)
starsthatshine: (heroes: come around & feel the burn)
I sort of finished my Heroes fan fiction. Sort of. It sort of took a life of its own and I'm considering cutting the Nathan dramatics since it feels irrelevant to the story. I had Elle and Peter discover that Nathan was being rushed to a Company hospital (hehe, a little bit of an Alias feeling, when I'm thinking about it) and then they set out to rescue him, but with what I've started with, it feels sort of like that should be a separate story, but I don't know... I like writing Peter/Elle friendship. ♥

I changed layout again. I know I'm a bit hopeless but I thought that the new year deserved to be celebrated with a brand new layout, featuring all of my favourite boys: Josh Groban, James McAvoy, Zachary Quinto and Sendhil Ramamurthy. Personally, I absolutely love the coding (the navigation header looks smashing!) - what do you think?

The new year, meaning today, started off pretty boring. It's five o'clock and I've done nothing so far, but that's kind of nice but stressing in a way because you feel like the break is slipping from your hands and you're not doing enough to make it interesting. Oh well, I hope everything will get sorted soon and I'll get a good break and be able to do lots of things.

I downloaded Hanson's newest album on a whim and I'm so smiling about it. Definitely not my kind of music any more but it's interesting enough. I remember when my sister was little, she was four, and she absolutely adored Hanson. She listened to MmmBop all the time. LMAO. Good times. Tomorrow she turns... well, sixteen and I'm *this* close on buying Hanson's old album as a joke. Just 'cause ;) And I think she lost her old one anyways. ^^

I might actually have made a decision on something. I've discovered where I want to go for university: St. Andrews. Okay, it's pretty close to my sister but that can also be a good thing, also it's a lot cheaper and it's apparently a good university (peeps who know these things; what do you think? What have you heard about St. Andrews?) and well... I just hope my grades will suffice. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge just seems... not right for me whereas the little I've heard about St. Andrews seems appropriate. I can't lie and say that the location (i.e. the fact that it's in Scotland) doesn't play a huge part in my thoughts, but... whatever.

Happy new year everyone! It's a while before the new year starts for me but I thought I'd put it out there anyway. You're all so awesome and I hope that the new year will exceed all your expectations and that you'll be happy and have the best 2008 you can possibly have.

I'm going to do a Peter/Elle music vid but I don't have any episodes and clips are scarce so we'll see how it goes. I think I have only 2x08 to work with, but hopefully it will turn out well either way. I'm so happy I'm back in my Heroes mood! :D

Also, Season 1 and 2 of The X-Files will soon be in a mailbox near me :D Yay :D
starsthatshine: (heroes: dont forget what we cant forgive)
Everyone must watch/listen to this. Seriously. I'm in such a mood and I totally blame [livejournal.com profile] yaoi_anti_drug for it (who is also new to my flist - WELCOME! :D)



Listen to that voice! I mean, is it so strange that I had a crush on him (Scar, not the voice actor :P) as a kid? What do you think?

I have a new layout! [livejournal.com profile] aliasagent I'm in such a Mylar mood so I simply HAD TO make a layout :D

Now I'm spending my time browsing through YouTube and listening to Swedish Disney songs and reading the comments. Oh, I have so much I want you to listen to, so much you should hear.... *sighs*

Edit: I've also kind of decided that Zachary Quinto is like my biggest celeb crush right now... With Josh Groban and James McAvoy ;)

I've started to write Heroes fic again. Seriously. ♥ It's addictive. All of you know I wasn't the biggest season two fan but oohh.... the material it's given me. I'm writing and I quite adore it. I'm not sure if I'm going to have any pairing, I'm just going to write a story and see how it turns out. But expect a lot of subtext at least. Anyone interesting at reading through it, making sure that there's no mistakes, grammar-wise? The fic contains Matt/Mohinder/Sylar subtext, Nathan & Peter (not in an incesty way for once, but it can be interpretated that way if wished) and well... I'm thinking about writing in some more characters but we'll see.

Anyone interested?
starsthatshine: (atonement: why don't you talk)
I've spent the last couple of hours writing my EU essay, fair to say I became really pessimistic about that whole organisation. Now I'm just counting the minutes until my sister shows up so we can watch Gossip Girl because I need to... not think for a bit. Just sit down and relax, which Gossip Girl is perfect for. Anyway, it's in Swedish and the current word count is 1,877. Anyone interested in reading? ^^

Huge happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] bashipforever! I hope you'll have a fantastic birthday sweetheart. Sorry I haven't been such an active commenter.

Also, anyone here ever read Philosophy? I have this essay for English class and I have no clue if I'm doing it right because I haven't had the subject. Help?

TWO DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS BREAK! Woohooo! *dances* Can you feel the joy? In honour of that joy, the first five that comment and say that they want a drabble/ficlet thingy will get one. I sucked at fulfilling icon requests but I'm confident in my writing abilities (sort of)... Just provide me with fandom and prompt. Fandoms I can write: Original (if you just want a short story or something that doesn't have a fandom association), Supernatural, Gossip Girl, Doctor Who, Heroes (with some restrictions, some characters such as Maya I can't won't write) and Dexter (Never tried but I could). Some shows, sadly, I haven't seen in forever (such as Life on Mars) so it would be difficult to write from that.

The news that Robert Pattinson is going to play Edward (I pretty much assume that it's not some sort of fake news because that would suck) in the Twilight TV film thingy or whatever it's supposed to be, made me rediscover my fangirl!crush on him, because quotes like these (see below) is what makes people awesome:
"Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as 'Claudia'! Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel."

First off, LOL. And second... well... LOL. Awesome.

Also, I'm really proud of myself for uploading a Heroes icon even though Heroes and I are at odds with each other it seems. Nathan and Peter is so what makes the show work for me and Mohinder and Sylar! It makes me wanna write fics again.

Also, is it bad that I kind of want to watch Twilight if Pattinson is going to be in it? :P

I was about to fall off my chair this morning when I logged on and saw that my paid account had been refilled. Thank you so much [livejournal.com profile] lizrocks *huggles you into a thousand small lovely pieces* You're such a sweetheart. Thank you so much :D

Huge happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] buffy_harris :D Have a great one :D

I spoke to my little sister last night (the one I don't get along with all too well, although I only have one little sister so I'm really out of other candidates) and it really felt like we connected a bit, you know? Felt a little bit like... we understood each other. We've never been particularly close because we have totally different perspectives on the world and what she might feel is justified I might deem as... completely inappropriate behaviour. So that was nice.

Is it just me, or does Heroes still, in general, suck? There's not really that much of a suspense and nothing really happens. It's like they have an episode, then they end it somewhere in the middle. Which creates the feeling that nothing really happens because for me, when it's really interesting is when an action is performed that you know is bad and then you end just as the consequences are beginning to be revealed. For example in Dexter, that always ends more on the "consequence" side than the sort of "action" side that Heroes seems to go with. A problem doesn't need to be gigantic or epic but if it's dealt with correctly, everyone can enjoy it and get invested in it. And this is where I feel Heroes is failing. The cast isn't necessarily too huge (although it's one BIG cast) and I think that they give their characters too many lines.

Example from 2x10 Truth & Consequences )

Can anyone host my mood themes? Preferably someone who has an FTP server because I'm extremely lazy about uploading it to Photobucket and I don't want to install Flock on my laptop. I have all these mood themes I wanna use. I found some great ones.

I'm really proud of some of the icons I made today. This one for example. I thought it was really pretty. I had originally planned to use a SPN icon but the prettiness of this killed me and I had to use it. I'm still two episodes behind on Moonlight which would be distressing if it wasn't so that I hadn't done it intentionally.

Is anyone interested in an icon post? I've also made Gossip Girl, Heroes, North & South, James McAvoy ♥, Supernatural etc.

Sorry for the lack of quality in this post. And my previous. But... y'know.
