Commentary on my Rapunzel story, for

lizzie_marie_23.

I wrote this in – well, I honestly can’t remember. But I first posted it in 2006. I remember sitting in a classroom writing it, but I can’t recall if it was high-school or college. I was probably either a senior or freshman. *shrugs*

Some of the comments are from the pov of a writer who has evolved in the six(ish?) years since writing this. Some are notes about what I remember while writing this. I really hope none of them bother you.

( comments are in brackets )

[Poll #1840356]

Is anyone willing to look over what I have of an Avengers fic and tell me what the hell the plot is or where it's going? I have no idea what I'm doing with it, but I dearly love it.

sir, sire, and sure are all different words, and will change the meaning of the sentence.

*sporfle*

1. I'm really bummed The Finder wasn't renewed. It's such a cute show.

2. I just finished my first week working as assistant editor at an engineering research facility. It’s only twenty hours a week (the position was designed for a graduate student, who wouldn’t be able to work full-time. The hours will probably multiple as more things needing to be edited come in.) I had a lot of fun. (I've happily left the place that fired me for the rule so many others flaunted.)

3. So, I wrote some more in the Harry Potter/Merlin fic, but I hit a snag: what plot do I actually want to have? The whole reason I started it was to see Merlin set the dragons free. That’s already happened. Any thoughts?

4. I saw The Avengers again! I really like Loki. And Hawkeye. And Black Widow pwns all, yo.

5. I’m working on two Avengers fics. In one, ( spoiler for film ) In the other, someone kills Thor while wearing Loki’s shape. I have so many ideas! I love that movie.

6. About my health issues – I’m not a hundred percent better, but I am very improved. As best we can figure, it was an inner ear virus that threw off my balance. The only cure? Time.

7. Give me Avengers recs, please! Or excited squeeing. I’ll take either.

So,

tigris_lilsis had this idea and now I want an animated icon: Michael Clarke Duncan smiling and looking all happy, then the next part is him looking all scary, with the text don't poke the bear. *hee* It'd be awesome. (Why, yes, we have been watching and loving The Finder, thank you very much.)

I kinda wanna play the commentary game again. You know, the one where someone tells me a fic they want my thought processes/AU ending/holy shit, can't believe I wrote that stuff on . So. Any takers?

Also, look at my newest icon! I call him Squidipus the Dragon. He's my squishy.

Prompt: Graduation is here and everyone is upset and they won't see their friends again. glee club is breaking up, etc etc.

Kurt knows he should be upset but he's really, really not. Sure, he'll miss the friends he made in glee. After all, they spent A LOT of time together, but he knows there will always be new friends. Mostly, he's just revealed he's finally getting out of high school and out of Lima.

I'd prefer this to be gen, but you can really do as you please with Klaine, lol.

( Sometimes Kurt wishes he’d inherited his mother’s shapechanging abilities, just so he could shift into a cat and claw something to pieces. Whenever those moods hit him, he grabs the closest knife instead. )

First, I can totally see how this McGarret guy could be Arthur-from-Inception's brother.

Second, why did no one tell me that Murphy McManus and Spike are REALLY BAD GUY brothers? Dude, that's awesome.

Back to watching!

More notes: linked to Ao3 because I don't feel like fighting with LJ and internal links.
Prompt: There is no William McKinley High school. It's a cover. The students actually go to Sky High, the school for superheroes and sidekicks in training! New Directions is still a glee club, and the Cheerios are still the cheer squad.

Who has what power? Who's a sidekick and who's a hero? The filler could have a lot of fun coming up with powers.

No real request for pairings, except I hate Faberry and Pezberry. I like most of the others. Bonus points for Puckurt, but it's not required.

“I’m sorry, Coach,” he says, hands clasped in front of him and looking up at her with sincere, innocent eyes, “but I don’t believe in power placement. It’s a terrible practice, and all it does is force students into discriminatory and detrimental cliques.”

Dead silence while Kurt watches his Auntie Sue try to peek out of Coach Sylvester’s eyes. “Let me see if I understand,” Coach Sylvester growls. “You’re refusing to show me your power?”

“Yes, ma’am,” Kurt says respectfully.

“Sidekick!” she roars.

So, last Sunday I had the worst cramp I've had in a long time. A week ago today I had a migraine, terrible cramps, felt over all like crap, and had to stop and catch my balance a few times so that I wouldn't fall.

Tuesday was worse. Tuesday I had to call for a ride home from work and saw my neurologist, who told me to go home, rest, and see if it passed.

It hasn't. The problem has grown worse. I saw my neurologist again on Friday and had an MRI today. I've had a headache the whole time and kept having to catch my balance. Every time I stand, I have a moment of vertigo. I tried doing the dishes as an experiment to see what I can do: took three times longer than it usually does and, wow, I felt like shit afterwards.

I haven't been to work since Tuesday. I can't drive. I almost fell down after bringing one load of groceries in from the car.

But I had a job interview two weeks ago and recieved a voicemail during my MRI - they'd like to talk about me going to work for them. And I can't drive right now. I have no idea what's wrong with me, the doctor has no idea, and if the MRI doesn't tell us anything? What the fuck do we do then?

So, yeah. I'm a little bit scared. My head still fucking hurts, and I'd really like to be able to walk from one room to the other without having to grab something or rest against the wall.

On the plus side, according to the lab's scale, I've lost a couple pounds. Booyah.

Prompt: Author's choice; author's choice;

Words scribbled on the underside of an old envelope,
becoming everything inside.
Ink spilled on paper, but in a deeper sense,
several sentences blurred by tears
represented more sentiment,
more that was meaningful and real,
than the years that led to this crossroads.
I heard the door close -
not slamming, but slinking shut
in an unfortunate and unhappy desire to be undetected,
as if secrecy could lessen the pain.

Prompt: Supernatural, Dean/Castiel (+any),

Now I know this is strange to hear from the mouth of God
It was something like a scene from mars
In a struggle between loves and lies
The angel kept his face covered for to keep his word
And while I spoke something left from my life
Forget about the past
Be at rest I'll make things right
And while I held you at best you nearly died
Forget about the past
And I'll try to make things right
