So after four Christmas parties, one get-together, five house crashers, and four epic nerf gun battles, I have survived the bulk of the holiday season.  There is still New Years, but I am in the proccess of recovering and still stuffing my face with chocolates and leftovers.  I am not even halfway through the Yuletide archives yet, but if your flist is anything like mine, it is getting flooded by glorious recs.  Yay!

Ooooh, and I'm still frantically trying to finish gift fics (erm, not going very well), but pitselly  has given me a reason to procrastinate!  I've been having fun throwing suggestions with this meme, and now it's time for pitselly  to extract revenge.

Give two characters from any of my fandoms and I will tell you-- no matter how ridiculous the pairing-- the following about their first child (if they are canonically a couple with children, I will make up an uncanon child.)
A. Name
B. Zodiac Sign and/or Hogwarts House
C. Circumstances of Conception
D. PB/Appearance
E. Three Random Facts

ps; Robin/Tharkay's child is still the worst best thing ever.

Hi guys! I'm Serra, but you can call me... well, really you can call me whatever you like, I have so many online handles I don't care anymore. I've recently finished Chevalier, and as much as I'm in total shock right now, I'd love some fandom friends, particularly if you happen to be into AIM roleplay. Feel free to hit me up--I don't have my AIM on my profile anymore due to some stalkerish business, but I'll PM it to you if you ask.

name | On The Backs Of Dragons
rating | G
characters/pairing | Lawrence/Ali, Laurence/Tharkay, but in a very ust-y sort of way. LOL, SUBTEXT, I LOVE IT.
summary | Lawrence gets some help on his campaign from the RAF.
notes | I rewatched Lawrence of Arabia recently for SOME REASON and then remembered thinking hey, if I ever rewatch LoA (which seemed to unlikely at the time!) I should totally write that LoA/Temeraire Xover. And then I did... and then I did. And here we are. I apologize in advance. Set vaguely post VoE (but low on the spoilers, I think) for Temeraire and before Gasim dies for LoA. Some screwing around with history obviously happened because DRAGONS. Or at least that is the excuse I am using for any screwups, but feel free to point them out >>
length | 2440+ words because I am a crazy person.

( The men will accept shade from a dragon, yes, but I do not know how they will feel of riding one, Aurens. )

...And for my beloved sister xel1980 who did it! <3<3<3

HAPPY HOLIDAYS MY DEAREST FRIENDSSS!!! Go to see Sherlock Holmes like NOW!!! XD LOVE YOU!!! <3<3<3

FIRST OF ALL (because I forgot the first time): MERRY CHRISTMAS AND/OR HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!! I love each and everyone of y'all, and let's hope the next year will be rocking just as hard as this one. (And if you've had a crappy year, man, it can only get better, eh?)

NEXT!

AO3 isn't letting me comment and I have given up trying to fight the server to read the archive and it took me a while to actually get to the story that SOMEONE AMAZING AND KIND AND WONDERFUL has written me- I think I know who you are- BUT THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I DON'T DESERVE IT AT ALL, but it's all kinds of lovely and I can't count the times where I had to lift my hand away from the scroll key to giggle and squeal and flail and do ALL SORT OF EMBARRASSING THINGS because OH MY GOSH. It's perfect. Just what I wanted, it's beautiful and full of delicious BROMANCE and UST and MY NOT-SO-SECRET OT4 OF TEMERAIRE.

The story is wisdom to the mighty, honor to the brave; RIGHT HERE, EVERYONE GO READ IT IF YOU CAN (though getting there is the internet equivalent of battling through a million other people trying to read their stories, but hey. So worth it!)

To my lovely anonymous Secret Santa;

(ﾉ◉ヮ◉)ﾉ :｡･:*:･ﾟ'･,｡･:*:･ﾟ'- ♥

AHAHAHAHAHH~~~~~!
I will make a coherent comment later on AO3 when it lets me. But for now you can have MY CAPSLOCK SMILEY THING OF LOVE. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AND I DON'T MEAN RAP AS IN A NEW CASE OF--

Right. tldr: this semester was all Nine-Levels-Of-Hell Awful, but I’m glad that it is over. I will be slowly catching up on things LJ-wise (and Yuletide because, holy cow, this year is different).

Anyway, how has everyone been? What have I missed out on? Throw me all your links! Comment here so that I can tell you how much I missed you!

Other things, mainly Yuletide…

( b'aaw. :( )( lol this just in: I write smut now. )

New places where I have an account!

• Tanyart on the Archive of Our Own!
• Tanyart on forumspring! Now before everyone moans and groans and berates me for being an attention whore, I realize this semester that I like writing! It’s true! What’s more, I love writing for other people. And what I mean by that is: I love stealing people’s ideas and mangling them in 100-500 word spurts. So while I’ll still be taking random questions about myself, I’d also like to receive drabble requests. Anything. Because clearly I’ll need something to do over winter break, and that doesn’t end until February. :)
• And I have a Skype! I haven’t used it yet and I don’t know if I will, but if you want to add me, then that would be cool! I am “tanyarted” on there. You can hear my fumbling nor*cal valley-girl accent!

Quicker notes to add:

• I have seen Princess and the Frog and I cannot wait to start writing fic.
• My ‘s’ key is gimpy. I have to pound it with a hammer to get it to work, so if you see a missing ‘s’, you’ll know why.
• The jump from Temeraire to TF2 has absolutely trashed my writing, so forgive me for any future Temeraire fic that may-or-not-be-coming-oh-god-what-am-I-doing—
• Yesterday I was in for the longest eyebrow waxing I have ever had. It was not pleasant. And I don’t care if its tmi, taking Human Anatomy has cured me of any bodily squick factor, but this lady ALWAYS manages to screw something up. But she is so cheap, I cannot help it!
• I’m gaining weight. But that is expected this time of year.
• My younger sister drives now. It is a scary thing.
• And because I am a crazy head, I still have more stuff to write/draw Christmas exchanges/gifts. Huurrr.

Happy holidays, everyone!

Excuse me, Mr Labrador, are you about? I've got a question.

And everyone else, anyone up for carolling? It's about that time.
