New and Updated Fanfic

Sep 2015

By Sarah • Published 21 September 2015

After binge-watching all three Mighty Ducks movies at work (I know, right? My job is awesome), I suddenly got all inspired about being in fandom again. So I did this (all links are local, no ff.net or AO3 links):

Updated:

A Christmas Carol: [The Mighty Ducks] Charlie Conway is 27, and his life is not going right. Can he be saved in time? This is neither slash, nor any form of love story, neither will it become one.

This story is finally finished. It took me twelve years. No joke. I went to ff.net to check.

New:

Nina’s Home for Christmas: [Making Out – K Applegate] Zoey is a mother now, and it’s baby Wade’s first Christmas, and she has insisted that everybody come visit, but Zoey and Jake are having problems, and Lucas hasn’t quite got over the love of his life, and it’ll all come to a head because…
… Nina’s Home for Christmas

Admittedly, this should have gone up long ago. It was a Yuletide 2014 gift for finkpishnets.

The Five Stages of Friendship: [The Mighty Ducks] The five stages of friendship between a Duck and a Warrior are: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Only angrier.

Something that sat, in very brief outline form, in my “to do” folder for quite awhile, and after watching the movies, I just surged through.

After that, I went through all of the old skins on the archive and started cleaning them up. Once I’ve done that, I’m going to pick my favourite and skin this blog to match.

Well, underpants and garden gnomes. I’ve somehow managed to balls up the update on my archive.

I will update when it is functional once more.

*sigh*

Edit: fixed. *sigh*

FYI – New Layout

Jun 2012

By Sarah • Published 12 June 2012

I’m working on a new layout, so if you have a look at the side and it’s all scrunched, or something moves 300 pixels to the left as you watch, or that you can’t even read this post because the background is so busy, that’s why. I’ve finally got the hang out making layouts for WordPress, and so now I’m cleaning up the templates I have used. Don’t worry, I’m not one of those stupid people who have such active backgrounds you can’t read the text. I’m working at the layout one #div at a time.

Apologies for any inconvenience, although I doubt anyone is dropping by, so that’s a bonus.

Edit: So, the layout is finally updated, the archive is about to get an update and a makeover too. Who are these pixel chicks on the header? Taz and Anna, characters that seem to haunt me no matter what I write. Sorry, I just didn’t want to have a specific fandom header any more.

So the meme is this: Spend a couple minutes listing women who are awesome, and fuck you if you disagree.

Now using WordPress

Jun 2009

By Sarah • Published 28 June 2009

I am now using WordPress on my site. I have been very wary of it in the past, because I have had so much trouble skinning it to my liking. Even now, my favourite quote block is weird, and my links are lacking a box around them. However, it is infinitely better than dealing with my stroppy “build a blog” version. I love having tags and categories, and the plugins have come on in leaps and bounds since I last tried to use WordPress (around 2003?).

So far, I’m happy with it. Now, to move it all over to the main site.

Oh, and do you like my Sparkly Harmony layout? I love her. She’s so pretty.

iPlaylist – updated script

Jun 2009

By Sarah • Published 7 June 2009

I’ve made another small script to generate a random playlist in the style of an iPod Classic – it’s an update of my previous script, found here. You can see it in action on my main page or here – the second link shows it side by side against the old version.

It’s fairly simple and the readme file in the zip should answer any questions, if not, post them here and I’ll answer.

Simply put, it’s just cleaner, a bit sexier and smoother. Hope you like.

Halloween (2007)

Halloween (2007)

Thoughts on Halloween (2007)

Oooh, quote. That’s deep, maaaaan.
Good song. I guess with Rob Zombie at the helm, that much is guaranteed.

Uh, so the Myers are not a middle-class family then?
“Skull-fuck the shit out of you”?
Thank Christ these people are about to be murdered.
Can you flush a rat? Really?

I know we’re supposed to cheer on the serial killer in a “fun” way, but seriously, I can’t wait for him to start killing.
It will be for the greater good.

LINDERMAN.
With cool hair.
Speaking of hair, Michael has better hair than me. *le sigh tragique*
it gets better…

New Look!

Mar 2008

By Sarah • Published 22 March 2008

I’ve done a small new update on the layout of the site. Have tested it in IE and Firefox, and it looks better than the old version did in IE… why, why, why would you use IE when Firefox is on offer? I still don’t get it.

Vid: [The Mighty Boosh] Holding Out for a Hero – REMASTERED

Oct 2007

By Sarah • Published 28 October 2007

Vid Title: Holding Out For a Hero

Artist: Bonnie Tyler

Fandom: The Mighty Boosh

Summary: Vince/Howard, even though I started it as a general vid rather than a shippy one. The first verse is Howard’s point of view, second is Vince’s.

Rated: U, same as the show

File Size: 16.6 MB

Feedback: Oh, by the way, feedback does not suck, so… yeah. Leave some bitches. Uh… nice bitches. (Here’s where I offend people before they get the reference).

Notes: Same vid as before, only with better quality, larger source, and a few stray frames have been removed. Two new teeny-tiny clips that are more interesting than the ones that were originally there. Preeeeety souce! Enjoy.

[Boosh] Holding Out for a Hero - Remastered (16.60MB) (1996)

The YouTube link has been removed because I got a note from YouTube saying they’d had a C&D from BabyCow productions. *le sigh*

You can still download the old version here:
