Those of you who are sick of seeing me pimp out fma_ladyfest: you are in luck! Because sign-ups end tomorrow (Wednesday) at midnight EST and therefore this is the last pimping post you will probably have to see. (Unless you belong to the FMA comms, in which case, uh, you'll be seeing like four more. Sorry?)

So basically, if you have been thinking about signing up, now is the time, this is the place. Join us! We have cookies. Well, okay, that is a lie. But we have awesome ladies and awesome writers, which is possibly better!


In other news, in honor of all the fantastic fic that is to come (AM I STILL TOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS? MAYBE YES A LITTLE) I am following in vivien529's footsteps and reviving the songfic game!

Name a work of fiction - book, movie, tv show, whichever; obscure is fine and welcomed, as long as you know that I know it - and whatever the next song is that comes up randomly on my iPod after I see your comment, I will describe to you the plot of the amazingly angsty and terrible songfic that would emerge from this combination! As a bonus, if the song is uploadable, I will upload it for you when I get home from work.

Example: You say, "The Cat in the Hat;" the next song that comes up on my iPod is "Don't Fear the Reaper"; clearly, this would generate a fic about the Cat trying to talk the fish into letting the Cat dump him out of his bowl, leaving his confined life for a passionate and freeing death!

(And then by the rule of the internet, of course, that fic will spring spontaneously into existence, but we can ignore that bit.)

I got Noe Venable's Happiness, which . . . now I actually really want to be a real Middleman vid, which is always the danger of doing this meme! But for angsty songfic purposes, this is totally the "It's a Wonderful Life" fic, in which Wendy is trapped in the universe where she's a totally normal nine-to-fiver who thinks she's happy with her conformist ordinary life except when she occasionally get flashes of her other, awesomer existence. Which is a trope that I am SURE the show would have used for an episode at some point in season 2. (Lacey fixes it with the power of noncomformist BFFlove, by the way.)

And, as a bonus, as an FMA fic, this would be . . . okay, actually I'm looking at it and it's totally the soundtrack to the Scar and Marcoh road trip fic that I already wrote and, uh, now I can't see it as anything else. So NEVERMIND.


(Oh, dude, I totally would still do the donation! And will totally donate higher if I have to. :D Although now I am going to feel PRESSURE to come up with an awesome prompt . . . well okay yes I do already have a prompt in mind, but I don't know if it's particularly awesome or one you will really want to do! BUT ANYWAY.)

Man, I would read that angsty songfic! And rec it to all my friends! Even if it involved crying. Which it would not, because, Wendy + Lacey bffls.

(Hahah, no pressure, just BURNING CURIOSITY. The pressure is on me to be worth the bid. :p)
