[what's going on]

I haven't forgotten about the Ajan, I swear. I've just been really busy and … yeah. Anyway, I've been shuffling writing communities around, so here's a 101.

ajanfic is now friends-only, for legal reasons. If you want access, just ask and I'll send you an invite.

pithiness holds ALL my writing—Ajan (as much as I've posted in LJ, at any rate; I haven't delved into older stuff yet), academia, fanfic, etc. It's also a closed community, so if you want access, just ask.

vespertina. This community with its exceedingly boring name is for my university writing tutorial project. Normally, I don't like pimping out my writing, but I figured it's something that might appeal to you. (Though a fair warning: there are a few character names that overlap with Ajan people, but I'll fix that when I get back to Ajan writings.) Anyway, the gist of the story is… well, I suck at summarizing. Basically, there's a human girl, Amelia. Her father, Aloysius, was turned into a vampire when she was a newborn. Now she's 15. He's managed to sneak through the legal system with his "questionable life status", but now he's working as a professor at Vespertina, a private school for supernaturals. His ex-wife (who doesn't believe he's a vampire and thinks he's just delusional) revealed that he was living at Vespertina and leaving Amelia with his sister, while he was supposed to have custody of her. Thus, to keep custody, he had to either change jobs or Amelia had to move to Vespertina. Aloysius lobbied the headmistress, Evangeline Aurelien, to change school policy, and now Vespertina allows human students who have connections to the supernatural world. Naturally, many of the students are less than impressed that Amelia's there. Stuff ensues.

Hardly the most convincing read it! argument, but if you're interested, let me know and I'll send you an invite. It's purely original work, so you know the whole copyright spiel: don't steal, borrow, etc.

because I'm the curious sort....

(And if I'm intrigued by the replies, I may do side fics *g*)

Do you have any favourite/preferred non-canon "original character" (i.e., non-LJS) pairings from the story? (If they're slash or incest or threesomes or whatever, don't worry: those are cool too.) I'm curious. Lately, I've been mixing and matching in my head and some of the results are surprising. Some pairs I thought would be awesome end up being disastrous, while other combinations make a scary amount of sense.

(no subject)

Ideally, the first post in this community would have been an Ajan snippet. Then again, I should have made this into a community long ago, rather than right near the end of the story. *L* Such is life.

Anyway, I've been going through all my stuff, online and off-, and found an anthology called Mondo Barbie. (marimac would like the pages: they're all pink.) I paged through it and found a poem called "Barbie's Little Sister" by Ellie Schoenfeld. And what was Barbie's little sister's name, you might ask? (Even if you didn't, I'm going to tell you. Nyah.) Aurora. And the poem fit, so I thought I'd share it.

Barbie's Little Sister
by Ellie Schoenfeld

Barbie's little sister
Aurora
got sent away to reform school
when she was thirteen.
Mattel brought her back complete
with wheat germ, a VW love bus
and a recipe for sesame dream bars.
But she never caught on.
Didn't go for the vanity
table or the bubble head.
Thought Barbie was repressed
and Ken was a nerd
so she hit the road
with his cousin Jeremy.
They went to demonstrations
wore love beads
and got matching tattoos.
Finally Mattel stopped marketing her,
didn't think she'd make
a good role model.
