Status:

Give 'Em Hell's Kid: I haven't abandoned it. I swear. I'll try to come back to it in the next few weeks. There are chapters already written but not typed.

The Kings' War: Probably update this one sooner rather than later. Dot's waiting for me with a frying pan and knife, after all. Ditto.

Gate of Translocation: Don't even ask.

Coming Attractions:

oneshot from Beth Strong's POV - Charlie Bone

oneshot: Luke's execution - Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Bartleby the Scrivener falls asleep in jail and wakes up in modern New York. I shizzle thee not.

Something with the epigram "I know what's best for me, but I want you instead." Any suggestions? I'm thinking Basta/Dustfinger...

Fiction Press account: http://www.fictionpress.com/u/549957/ (but I'm rarely there)

List Twelve of your favorite characters from your fandom, in no particular order. Then answer the questions about them.

Cirque du Freak:

1. Darren Shan (he's gotta be on there)

2. Larten Crepsley

3. Annie Shan (I feel bad for her)

4. Kurda Smaldt

5. Gannen Harst (gotta love those pale green suits)

6. Evra Von (as always)

7. Desmond Tiny (er... well, sort of)

8. Vancha March (woo! Hell yes!)

9. Gavner Purl

10. Debbie Hemlock

11. Alice Burgess (go police lady!)

12. Steve Leonard (best for last)

1. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?

Evra/Alice? :snicker: I don't think any exist. I'd give it a try. Would I like it? Maybe.

2. Do you think Four is hot? How hot?

Everyone thinks Kurda is hot. Cummon. Give me a harder one. Oh, and I think he's sugary hot but not as hot as some I could mention... although in reality (what?) he's probably the best-looking one.

3. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?

Dear God! Vancha carrying Steve's child! What cruel trick of Des Tiny could've done THAT? Er... everyone would die. Because that's what always happens in CDF.

Actually, that's a hilarious idea.

4. Can you recall any fics about Nine?

Sure. Gavner's popular. Especially paired with Kurda. I read some by Kamapon way back in the day? Wow. My head didn't stop steaming for at least 10 minutes.

5. Would Two and Six make a good couple?

Larten/Evra. Hm. I can see it having kind of an underground popularity, but I don't think I'd be into it.

6. Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?

Five/Nine = Gannen/Gavner. Their names go well together, don't they?

Five/Ten = Gannen/Debbie. Ooh. I like 'em both, in a way, but I like the Stockholm Syndrominess of Gannen/Debbie. Or better yet, one-sided on Gannen's part!

7. What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve "going at it"?

Charna's GUTS, are you serious? (imagines Mr. Crepsley and Steve) Ugh. (imagines Mr. Tiny's expression) Priceless. He'd probably smite them both with his somewhat godly powers. "How could you, son?"

8. Is there any such thing as a One/Eight fluff?

Hmm. Darren/Vancha fluff. Maybe, but I haven't seen any yet.

9. Suggest a title for Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.

Des/Steve: ...wait, are we talking pairing here? Arrgh. That's got a lot of possibilities, although I think Mr. Tiny'd be the one dealing out the hurt. Arrgh, arrgh, arrgh. I'm going to let my dirty filthy mind stop finding innuendo RIGHT NOW and come up with a title. How about Broken Toys?

... I might actually write this now. Just to see if I can.

10. Do any of your friends read Three het?

Doubt it. Nobody cares about poor Annie.

11. Do any of your friends write or draw Eleven?

They probably don't even remember her.

12. Would any of your friends write Two/Four/Five?

Larten/Kurda/Gannen? Not unless I told them to. I don't think anyone'd come up with that on their own. Even then they probably wouldn't get around to it even if they wanted to.

13. If you wrote a songfic about Eight, what song would you choose?

For Gavner? Hm. Toughie. I don't remember him much. Maybe "Mama", by MCR, since he's a Vampire General and all.

14. If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warning be?

This might actually exist. o_O It sounds pretty plausible. Darren/Evra/Steve: slash, brocest

15. When was the last time you read a fic about Five?

I read that one called "Soup" a week or so ago. It was really cute. Go read it; it's probably in my faves.

16. (1) and (7) are in a happy relationship until (9) runs off with (7). (1), brokenhearted, has a hot one-night stand with (11) and a brief unhappy affair with (12), then follows the wise advice of (5) and finds true love with (3).

For one thing, Darren and Des would NEVAR EVAR be in a "happy relationship" for so many reasons, but let's say they are. Gavner breaks poor Darren's heart by stealing Des away (heaven know why), so Darren runs to the open arms of Alice, then after coming to grips with the fact that she's too old for him, meets up with Steve. Yeah, obviously that doesn't end well. Gannen steers Darren away (possibly so he can have Steve for himself) by telling him to go find himself a chick. Darren does so and ends happily up with... Oh, by the black blood of Harnon Oan! Really? That wouldn't work, she's still his half-sister by blood, isn't she? Well, maybe she's adopted. Or something. Fine. The story ends satisfactorily (for Darren, at least) with Darren and Annie together forever.

...I'm kinda tempted to pound this one out now.

What title would you give this fic?

Affairs of the Heart. I know, it's generic, but after wrangling with that last question my imagination's gone on strike. To Borneo.

How would you feel if Seven/Eight were in a fight?

I'd root for Vancha. Go Vancha! Kick Mr. Tiny's sunshine-suited ass!

What would you think if you found (5) was a really good friend of a sibling or relative of yours?

I'd be really impressed, but also rather unnerved. Gannen, a friend of the family?

How would you react if you saw (8) and (11) in a closet together with a rubber ducky?

I'd give the lovers their space. XD

How would you feel if (2) dissed you in the worst possible way ever?

Probably extra-insulted and quite sad. Mr. Crepsley's respect is important. Besides, who wouldn't be depressed over being dissed by a fictional character?

If you saw (9) and (3) in bed together, what would you do?

Slam the door and shout through the keyhole, "DOES DARREN KNOW ABOUT THIS?"

What would you say if you found out that (12) was a rapist?

Somehow, I'm not surprised...

You just came home from school and all of your friends hate you, your teacher just gave you an F on the most important project of the year and your parents have grounded you as your teacher had already called and told them of your grade. You open the door to your bedroom and you find (10) rummaging through your stuff. What do you do?

Go ballistic. Half in a good way, half not.

What would you think if (1) was emo and had tried to slit his/her wrists? If (1) is already emo/slit his/her wrists already, what would you think if (1) became the most optimistic person in the world?

Darren's got enough problems. He's already written pretty emo, so if he was the most optimistic person in the world... er... I'd be happy! Go Darren! You can do anything! Of course, even I'd probably get tired of it after a while. But I like optimism.

What would you feel this second if (4) gave you a daisy right now?

I'd be all bashful. Shucks, Kurda, you shouldn't have. Well, yes, you should.

(6) has just stolen your hairbrush. What is the first thing you would say?

Unless it's my fancy wood one, you can keep it. I usually use combs anyway. Oh, and Evra, if you give it back will you sign it first?

(7), (9), and (4) have banded together at 3 in the morning and starts to sing the most annoying song you know as loud as they can, waking you up. What is the first thing you think?

Dammit! Who woke me up from yet another gorgeous-boy dream I didn't get to finish? Wait... Gavner, Kurda and Mr. Tiny, standing in my room, singing 'Girlfriend'?

...must be another dream. (puts pillow over ears)

(2) and (11) are your teachers. What would you do?

Become #1 Student. Wouldn't want to get detention from either Mr. Crepsley or Alice...
