So, a few hours after this time tomorrow I will be off on my big adventure with Miss M, Ellen and Lee to visit New Zealand.

Haven't been there before, but I am terribly excited. We're going with a tour group, visiting both islands and doing lots of fun activities (seriously, we've been going over the list of extra activities, picking out what we're going to do!).

For me, I am scenic flights and helicopter rides all the way. Plus, the heli-hike at Fox Glacier!

Ladies and gents I will be entering Middle-Earth a very pretty country.

(And, I am going to add, I don't jump out of, or off, perfectly good bridges or planes, and I certainly do no traverse potentially dangerous waters.)

Of course, I am a history, museum/gallery, scenic traveller. The simple things make me happy.

I don't know if I'll get another chance to post before I go away for 2.5 weeks, so I thought I'd just mention it now.

I'll have LOTS of photos and stories when I get back.

Happy New Year!

May it be filled with joy and love for all of my online friends!

So, here's the yearly writing round-up. This shall be the year known mostly for me stumbling across comment_fic... and never leaving.

See below the cut for assorted fic (mostly drabbles) listed by fandom. And I do love feedback if you're that way inclined!

( 2010 in Writing )


TV Shows
Godless
The Isle
Underground

Please link me to your wishlist - I've been absent online and I fear I've missed a lot of peoples!

( The Wishlist Rules )

My Wishlist 2010

1. If you are able to, fulfil a wish for someone else. It might be on livejournal, or in the real world, but nothing lifts someone else's spirits as knowing someone else cares enough to make them feel special.

2. Books. I am a book collector (mostly picturebooks and Star Wars books - of which I have a LOT - but I am also an avid crime genre reader. I have all of Matthew Reilly and Kathy Reich's novels, but anything else is fair game for me).

3. Fanfic. For ideas you can view my fandom interest list. I'm not a huge slash fan, I don't really conform to OTPs, but I do have favourite characters. That said, I am happy for anything new and interesting to read! I wouldn't want to limit your creativity. ♥

4. Happy thoughts and well wishes. Without trying to sound pitiful, I've had a stressful time recently and I'll take whatever happiness I can, when I can.

5. Artwork for any of my fanfiction.

6. Links to interesting websites. Much like books, I collect links (mostly for educational websites for kids), so if you have something that fits that description (on any topic) please let me know.

7. Paid LJ time or userpics.

8. Fanfiction recommendations. I love having more things to read.

9. Any Star Wars stuff. (I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to this sort of thing, although not so much online which is odd… but I do LOVE Star Wars. 50+ expanded universe books and guides attest to that.)

10. I wish for all who read this list to have a safe and happy holiday season and a wonderful New Year filled with fun, adventure and happiness.

Oh, god, not another one. *headdesk*

I'm actually quite concerned. I think I've lost the characters' voices. Maybe'll it'll pass?

( Jen could hear the faint sound of rain hitting the window.  )

I wish I could write something other than really short bits of fic. Talk about utterly impossible for me. *sigh*

The Source of All Anxiety (Sherlock, PG13, Jen Watson/Lestrade. I don't own any of these characters.) One night, Jen has had enough of Sherlock's mood swings.

Utterly Impossible (PG13, Lestrade/Jen Watson. I don't own any of these characters.)

Original prompt from comment_fic (LJ) by beautybecks.

( Utterly Impossible )

Honestly. I shouldn't be allowed on comment_fic. Here's me, writing lots of nonsense again!

So, a couple of weekends ago I wrote a bucketload of drabbles for comment_fic, and rather than repost them all individually, I've uploaded them to AO3 and compiled a list. I'm trying to be thoughtful, since most of them are 100 words or less.
