A year ago, someone on one of the FMA comms posed the question 'What would the characters of FMA wear for Halloween?'

Well, inspiration struck a few weeks too late, so here it is this year instead.  Feel free to add your own!

Current Mood: silly

Finally posting part 1 of zakai_(on LJ)'s much belated birthday fic (coz she's kind and gives me squeeshies and stuff when I'm feeling blue =^^= ). Hope you enjoy!


Title: The Perils of Dating – part 1/?

Author: Quill

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist

Pairing: eventual Roy/Ed

Rating: PG

Series deviation from somewhere post Ep 25. Movie-verse does not exist.

Spoilers: some canon events have been altered slightly to make this ‘verse possible. Otherwise, no specific spoilers.

Disclaimer: I own only these little words here - and about half a dozen rapidly multiplying plot bunnies *sweatdrop*

Dedication: belated birthday fic for zakai_ . Enjoy!

Current Mood: accomplished

Heh. Why is it that life's either ridiculously quiet, or enjoying tossing me from one end to the other? So, of course, now is the perfect time for the muses decide, hey! Time for an ambush! Note, the ironic icon.

Disclaimer: I own only these little words here - and about half a dozen rapidly multiplying plot bunnies *sweatdrop* Everything else belongs to their respective owners.

... because I couldn't do a fic dump without them:

Title: ( LV: The Letter (Sv/La from Near Misses) )

---

... because once I had this image in my head, I just had to get it out:

Title: ( BtVS: A Listening Ear (Spuffy for randi2204) )

---

... because I was ambushed by this drabble, for no real reason:

Title: ( Robotech: Memories of Tea (Canon!Lisa/Rick) )

---

... and last but certainly not least, because this is the monster that started the whole ball rolling:

A/N: At a little over 3,100 + sequel(s) already in motion, this is no drabble folks

Title: ( FMA: Two Chocolate Kisses (Ed/Roy) )

---

There's more fics in the works, including banditscribe's VV Hazar/Hawkins fic. Please, feel free to hassle me about it. I think I need the motivation. ^^;;


I'll be doing some cross posting myself in the next few days - the LV & FMA in particular - but if anyone fancies linking any of these to comms I don't participate in, you have my full permission ^_~

Current Mood: overwhelmed

... to drop in Chistmas greetings!   (Warning: Nekkie Santa booty!)

Hope it's been a good one for ya!

ANNOUNCING.  ANNOUNCING.  ANNOUNCING.

Yep, I've taken the plunge, and Quillan's has now gone Premium!  (Basically, it was getting ridiculous trying to keep up with where I was putting everything, and really?  For about $3 a fortnight, it's worth the experiment.)

There's a whole stack of new stuff there - Blokes' Wear, Ladies', Trinkets, Chocoholics Heaven, Mugs Galore (which are proving really popular, before I've even really started promoting!), Member of E.V.I.L. products, W*RK shirts, and  a bunch of new designs to boot.

Please update your favourites/bookmarks to www.cafepress.com/quillans, and please, please, please sign up for the newsletter below! (Even if you're not planning to buy, I'd sincerely appreciate it if you'd pass a newsletter on to anyone you think might like it.)

I do have a newsletter ready to go to announce this tomorrow, with product updates etc, so it's just waiting on you guys.  (And minicon guys?  The more I earn, the more I can do over there *bats lashes*)

Ok, this little piece was inspired by randi2204 (yes, do check the link, because (a) it's dashedly funny, and (b) I won't look like such a nutcase if you do *grins * dodges randi-mallet*), who apparently blames her inspiration on me.  So go figure. :D

And so, I present to you, Lance the Chocophile.  (click on the pic for a better view.)

WARNING: This is most definitely Not Work Safe.  Ok?  Totally NWS.

Ok, it's a little different to my usual style, but for some reason it worked better this way.  Inspired by a random comment by the totally awesome rainjoyous here.  (Read the fic! Read the fic! Read the fic!  /hynotic state)

Title: Little Man Syndrome

Fandom: FMA (Disclaimers apply)

Rating: G

Word Count: 231


"Quite a performance today."

"Hmm." A sip of whisky, a sigh, because anything to do with Edward Elric was troublesome.

"A bit ... well, extravagant though." A sip, a ponderous look. "Ever wonder if Ed suffers from little man syndrome?"

A snort. "Hardly." A sip, a smirk. "Fullmetal doesn't suffer from it. He revels in it, he wallows in it, he glories in it, but he doesn't suffer. The only thing that's not over the top and utterly in your face about Edward Elric is his physical self." Another sip, a smirk that's turned wry. "It's everyone else who gets to suffer for it."

A look askance, a sip, a quick adjustment of glasses and a suppressed grin. "Oh, I've definitely got to tell him you said that."

Another sip, a smirk widening. "You do, and you die."

A chuckle, a sip, a grin. "Do you actually think you'll live long enough."

A nonchalant face, dark eyes mirthful. A casual sip this time. "You're forgetting that Fullmetal's just as likely to shoot the messenger in this case."

A long look left then a thoughtful gaze upwards. A sigh, a depressed slump onto one fist, a self depreciating twist of a mobile mouth. "You can be a real bastard when you're right, you know that?"

A full smirk. A sip. "So I've been told."

Neither had to say by whom.

Current Mood: amused

By request, for joannindiw, the latest addition to Quill's Cafe Press stores is the Member of E.V.I.L. tote bag.

Do you know someone who is truly 'E.V.I.L.'?


(PS, I messed around with an icon for the hell of it, EVILers.  Totally gackable. *grins*)

*tumbles off to bed - once she's kicked the cat off the lap O.o*

Since I've been collecting this round up of links primarily for my own reference, I thought I'd post it for others to use as well.

Posted below are links mostly to journal backup and/or migration resources, ways of keeping in touch with people should things really shatter apart, tips and links to help in using other journals, and some basic 'what happened where' links at the bottom to help sort out what actually went down.

Let me just say, right off, I'm not planning on moving at this stage. However, since I have no idea what LJ/6A will do about adult content in the future, I figure it's better to pick up these things while they're in my face than to have to go looking later should things go pear shaped.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. On to the round up. Have at it guys!


( Linkage Ahoy )



And that's all she wrote for now. If I've missed anything please tell me how??!!, just drop a feather in my comment with links.

PS. A very big thankyou to zakai_ for creating my lovely friends only banner for the Nibs LJ. Yes, the Nibs has joined the ranks of the f'locked, at least for the time being. This post is now a rare exception (at least until I go through and decide what's public and what's not).

EDIT 1 (10 Aug - early hours.  *Hoots*): Clearly I fail at coding. I'll clean this up tomorrow, it's too late to think of tonight. Bai!

EDIT 2 (10 Aug): That's the last time I rely on a program's feature to put in lj user code. *grumbles* It should be clean now.

EDIT 3 (11 Aug - *more hooting*): Edited with some new additions.

EDIT 4 (11 Aug): And a couple more, plus some tidying up.
