C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

Sometimes the moon
Looks like a cookie
With a bite taken out of it
But you can’t eat that
SO…

-- Sesame Street

“Okay. What I’m trying to say is I don’t want mysteries.”
“Mysteries,” agreed the (raven), helpfully…
“Hey,” said Shadow…
The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes.
“Say ‘Nevermore,’” said Shadow.
“Fuck you,” said the raven.

-- Neil Gaiman, American Gods

“Haven’t you brought back anything of value?” asked the King.
“Just this,” said Rupert, drawing his sword. Everyone studied the gleaming blade warily.
“It has a strong magical aura,” said the Astrologer dubiously. “What does it do?”
“It summons rainbows,” said Rupert, just a little lamely.

-- Simon R. Green, Blue Moon Rising

“I reject your reality and substitute my own.”

-- Adam Savage, Mythbusters

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?!
Renault: I am shocked - shocked! - to find that gambling is going on in here!
Croupier: (hands Renault a roll of bills) Your winnings, sir.
Renault: Oh! Thank you very much.

-- “Casablanca”

“I like my women like I like my coffee—in a plastic cup.”

-- Eddie Izzard

William Shakespeare: To be, or not to be… Ooh. That’s quite good.
The Doctor: You should write that down.
William Shakespeare: Maybe not. Bit pretentious?
The Doctor: Meh.

-- Doctor Who: The Shakespeare Code

“I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. (pause) We’re a knowledgeable family.”

-- Geoffrey, The Lion in Winter

“Swear I didn’t know we were gonna get into this again. (pauses; grins) Hell, yes, I did; I red-lined it all the way, couldn’t get here fast enough.”

-- Jack Twist, “Brokeback Mountain”

House: Why?
Cameron: Is that rhetorical?
House: No. It just seems like it because you can’t think of an answer.

-- House, M.D.: Pilot

“I wasn’t even in love with anybody when I wrote that song!”

-- Gerard Way

Gretchen: ‘Donnie Darko’? What the hell kind of name is that? It’s like some sort of superhero or something.
Donnie: What makes you think I’m not?

--“Donnie Darko”


O HAI THAR

More of my stuff, which might prove enjoyable to examine:

1. Ye Olde Page O' Funne, my snazzy website.
2. My page on Ink, a "Dark Families of Harry Potter" archive, which sports drabbles and one-shot-ish things, some of which I'm quite proud of.
3. My LiveJournal, where I ramble and whine and moan and post pictures and whatever else people with blogs like to do; leave a message explaining your identity, and I shall induct you into my circle of friends.
4. My deviantART page, the dwelling place of crappy drawings, Kingdom Hearts II fanfiction, and a growing quantity of original fiction.
5. The Killing Lights, very likely the best HP fic I have ever encountered ANYWHERE.
6. Write Aid, the writing LJ community Eltea and I are making to fill your prescription of AWESOME. Join!

Whoo, yay!


NOTES

A few cautions:

1. People in my fics who are in love act like it, regardless of their genders and sexual orientations.
2. I absolutely do not condone suicide; I simply find it a fascinating topic to approach with my writing. If for any reason you need someone to talk to, please feel more than welcome to press the message button at the top of this page.
3. Rather similarly, smoking is an extremely detrimental habit, and I don't encourage that, either. It is, however, remarkably atmospheric.
4. If you say that something in one of my stories is bad, cliché, stupid, or what have you, please (a) give a reason, and (b) leave a contact, so that I can ask you for specifics. You might very well have a perfectly valid point, but I can't improve unless you explain the perceived error. Make sense?
5. In that vein, flamers are stupid. Just don't waste both of our time, all right?
6. I'm American, and dreadfully so, so if anything doesn't make sense or proves offensive, please accept my sincerest, profoundest, and most profuse apologies. It's a U.S. thing. We're dumb. :D


MOST IMPORTANTLY

Welcome to my playground, and I hope you have a nice time. :)


NEWS

8-14-08: As Author-Alerted parties may have noticed, I happened to discover a new fandom. And, well, there's just one thing to say:

I HOPE YOU LIKE DEATH NOTE, BITCHES!

...my apologies. As any writer knows, however, you can't turn inspiration on and off, and you can't control the way it shows up. I pledge to you that I will finish the third part of the 'Her and Me' trilogy one of these days, hopefully one day soon, but I'm afraid I have to work the ideas that I've got. (The first chapter and a half of 'The Epic Resolution' suck like an overzealous vacuum anyway, in case you were wondering.)

I guess the point is... if it wasn't about what inspires me, this page wouldn't say "Tierfal" at the top. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and understanding. Or your monologues composed entirely of elaborate strings of expletives. Or your homicide threats. Whatever you're willing to give. ;)

...Mello is hot.
