white_collarI'm running a charity meme to benefit the victims of the tornadoes in Oklahoma, and will write fic in exchange for donations to the Red Cross. Three dollars buys you a 100 word drabble. Six dollars buys you either a 200 word drabble, or two 100 word drabbles, your choice. Nine dollars buys you a 300 word drabble, or a 200 word drabble, and a 100 word drabble, or three 100 word drabbles. And so on. I will write as many drabbles as you give money tot he Red Cross. There is no limit to how much you all can get me to write through this meme. I will write for Avatar: the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra, Harry Potter, or White Collar, and all of my previously established AUs are open.

Granola!
May. 21st, 2013 09:38 pmst_aurafinaI've been making my own granola for a while now. It's lots of fun to pile heaps and heaps of stuff in a bowl, like a bucket of horsefeed. And it makes the house smell amazing.
I keep tweaking online recipes to my own tastes, and then forgetting my tweaks, so I'm writing this one down. This is mostly based on Andy Fairfield's Granola, with extra stuff.
(lonelywalker, basically everything in this recipe can kill you, so please never make it.)
( We're going to need a bigger bowl... )

China and the boy try to invent a new form of kissing. It's not as good.
tahi. I'm falling off the radar again. It's not just the WIP now, though that's still creeping along, consuming a lot of my attention and typing time; I've also added technical problems to the mix. My computer's fan is presumed defunct, and my old (backup) machine is less than reliable -- sometimes it's fine, sometimes it takes literally half an hour to boot up. (Man, switching it on for the first time was like doing the Time Warp! All these tabs from July 2011... and half a billion software updates to install.) Anyway, I plan to address the unreliable backup problem by going out tomorrow and buying a nice, cheap'n'cheerful notebook, which incidentally will also be my first portable internet device since the second-hand Powerbook 180c I bought in 1997 or thereabouts. I've been avoiding the slippery slope of constant onlininess, but I think it's time to dip a toe in the water, especially given walking into the computer shop this afternoon filled me with a strong sense of being a decade behind the times. What is this wireless of which you speak? Whose teeth are blue? It doesn't come with any kind of word processor at all? Whaaat?
Expect outdated revelations such as, "Wow, look, I can sit in a café and write on a keyboard! Batteries are magic!" and "Whoooooooo, touch screens!" and "Oh, hey, Open Office."
rua. Watching the Groundhog Day episode of Haven made me realise that Neal Caffrey must have had a Groundhog Day of his own: that's when he learned all his different forging skills, right? Perfecting his painting and sculpting and so on and so forth, over and over, until he can get everything exactly right in an impossibly short space of time, by an impossibly young age -- it's the only thing that makes sense. /new headcanon
toru. A meme gakked fromteaotter. I may be slow to respond, due to access and wriiiiting, but I'll get there:
I have 488 works archived at AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 488 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.
