Bingo Blackout

[helsinkibaby.livejournal.com]

A slight bit late posting this up but I'm blaming the chest infection I haven't been able to shift! A blackout for the make up/break up 4x4 card.

There were two squares marked "longing" on it so with the mods permission, I switched one for "reunion" which dovetailed nicely with a story I'd been fiddling about with for literally years and finally got the impetus to finish and post!

Birthdays for October

[starry-wolf.livejournal.com]

Weeeeeell... there's just one birthday for you to focus all your attentions on this month, and that's great, because it's arguably one of the most important ones over here at OMW -

It's Kaige's birthday next week!!!!!

On 9th Oct, so mark your calendars everyone, and get ready to throw kaige68 the party of a lifetime!

(Figuratively speaking, anyway.)

--- H50 - she loves McDanno, but loves odd pairings too, esp with Danny (eg Danny/Charlie)
--- LOTR
--- Inception - Arthur/Eames
--- Mortal Instruments (books) - Malec, but anything with Magnus would thrill her
--- Avengers - Hawkeye is her fave, so any m/m pairing with him, or fic featuring him and Natasha (but any Marvel Cinematic Universe ones would please her)
--- Star Trek AOS - McChekov esp.
--- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV)
--- Teen Wolf (TV)
--- Stargate SG-1
--- Supernatural
--- Young Justice (Cartoon)
--- Harry Potter
--- Torchwood
--- House M.D.
--- Fringe (TV)
--- Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
--- Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)
--- Star Wars Original Trilogy
--- Guardians of the Galaxy (Movies)
--- Doctor Who
--- Percy Jackson RPF
--- Warehouse 13
But really, kaige68 likes everything if it's written for her!

Daily Count Challenge to garonne

[weakmoments.livejournal.com]

I did it! I remembered to check the list and I wrote and I am even on my laptop so this should work just fine! (fingers crossed) :D 1674 words written actually using a prompt from a Rainy Days and Mondays from way back in April (my mom's bday, actually) for one of my original fics! :D Well, I used the characters and since I'm rewriting the thing, I think it will fit.

Anyway, my words are written, had a great evening, figured out what I'm writing for NaNoWriMo and now I am passing off the challenge to garonne who has day two! :D Happy creating!
