So... I read Rebecca, and I read it very quickly, mostly because I found it very hard to put down. (It's... like Jane Eyre, only better, and I'm not going to get into it here because I'll start rambling about intertextuality and ambiguity and possibly William Empson.)

Naturally, this means I have to fantasy-cast it.

( Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again... )

Fandoms: Game of Thrones/Sirens
Rating: Teen
Characters/Pairings: Ashley Greenwick/Jon Snow, past Jon Snow/Jaime Lannister, Stuart Bayldon, Rachid Mansaur, Sansa Stark.
Disclaimer: none of this is even remotely mine. Except possibly the idea for this crossover in the first place.
Summary: Modern AU/Fusion with Sirens. Ashley meets Jon on a routine call-out. Stuart and Rachid decide to set them up together... and it works, at least until Jon's ex shows up.

(oh god help me I don't know where these ideas are coming from...)

Watched pilot ep of Alphas.

Knew I was in love the second David Strathairn showed up. (also that Vincent kid from Bones, but DS is a much bigger draw.) Callum Keith Rennie is kinda the bonus extra in this scenario.

Also I may be planning fic already. I already know I want to try a whole-cast genderswap, to start. And I expect there'll be crossovers too.

Title: and now I am sure my heart can never be still
Fandom: A Song Of Ice And Fire
Disclaimer: So very, very not mine.
Rating: PG
Characters: Meera Reed, Rickon Stark, Arya Stark.
Spoilers: nothing specific, if you're up to the end of book/series 1 you're good.
Summary: Future-fic. Twelve years after she left, Arya Stark returns to Winterfell.
A/N: I'm using the book ages (i.e. Rickon was four in the first book, and so is sixteen now).
A/N 2: I... have no idea where this came from. I think it has something to do with the Mumford & Sons song Dust Bowl Dance, which is kind of my ASOIAF themesong now.

Title: Game Changers (Part 1/?)
Fandoms: X-Men First Class/Game of Thrones.
Characters: Charles Xavier, Hank McCoy, Moira MacTaggart, Raven Darkholme, Erik Lehnsherr, Alex Summers, Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost.
Rating: G
Spoilers: for season 1 of GoT, none for X-men
Disclaimer: so not mine it's not even funny.
Summary: written for an anon prompter at the First Class kinkmeme, who asked for the X-Men characters in the Game of Thrones world. Hence... this.

So I have a tumblr.

Mostly right now I use it to reblog Game of Thrones stuff. And pictures of Michael Fassbender occasionally.

It's http://teamsansa.tumblr.com, should you have a) a tumblr and b) a desire to see pictures/gifs/etc related to Game of Thrones.

So News International is closing the News of the World.

...OK, there's one less shitty tabloid around. That doesn't really solve anything, it's a gimmick to placate the general public and deflect attention away from Murdoch and Brooks.

The people responsible are not the hundreds of mostly innocent NotW staff. The people responsible are the ones in charge.

I'll rejoice when Rebekah Brooks gets fired, and when the Murdoch empire is sent packing from this country. Not before.

I'm outlining a new story right now, one that's been brewing for a while.

One of my MCs is an archaeologist. Her name's Dr Rivers.

This decision may or may not have been influenced by Doctor Who.

(Dr Rivers/Dr River S... see?)

Not helped by the fact that her description in my notes is "Dr Annie Rivers, badass archaeologist".

I've only got myself to blame.

Title: Taking Westeros High (The Targaryen Way)
Fandom: Game of Thrones
Characters/Pairings: Viserys, Daenerys, Drogo, Jon, Robb, Joffrey, Jorah Mormont. Incipient Dany/Drogo, hinted Jorah/Dany and Joffrey/Sansa
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: So, so not mine...
Summary: Dany and her big brother have started at a new school, where her brother is intent on getting to the top of the social hierarchy. Basically, High School AU. For Game of Thrones. I may have finally lost it.

EDIT: putting this behind a cut, as it has been brought to my attention that this is distressing to some people. I would like to emphasise that this post is one that I reposted from another LJ, not one I wrote myself. (not an excuse, just explaining a little)

To trialia and featherfish, sorry for any anxiety caused and thank you for pointing it out.

( Agapeton )

My table for spn_30snapshots. My claim is Castiel... chances are, some of these are going to be Angel Sanctuary crossovers....

( cut to save the f-list )

I just, for a reason that even I don't fully understand yet, read the WMG page on TVTropes for House of Leaves.

...

I may not sleep tonight. *nervous*

YESSSSSSSS!

I'd say something else, but there are literally no words for this level of SQUEE.

I am, without doubt, a fan of the superhero-movie genre. I get excited about new Batman movies, and 2011 will bring us Green Lantern, Captain America AND Thor, and of course there's the Avengers movie next year.

But all of that just got shoved to one side by what may actually be the best, or one of the best, superhero movies of 2011.

Also, it's 12 minutes long and cost only $300 to make.

Title: All My Friends Are Superheroes
Author: trillianastra
Fandom: Chuck
Rating: PG to be safe
Characters/Pairings: Chuck Bartowski, Bryce Larkin, John Casey, Sarah Walker, Anna Wu

Title: Two Detectives Meet In A Bar
Author: trillianastra
Character(s)/pairings: Bo, Harry Dresden, (briefly) Mac.
Fandom and/or Prompt: Lost Girl/Dresden Files (no prompt)- written for consci_fan_mo
Rating: PG
Spoilers/Warnings: for the first episode of Lost Girl, none for Dresden Files.
Disclaimer: The Dresden Files is Jim Butcher's, Lost Girl is Showcase's, I own nothing.
A/N:...I've seen two episodes of Lost Girl, so blame that for any characterisation inaccuracies. Also, I have no idea where to put this in the Dresden Files chronology, so let's just say this is in some random alternate reality for now.

( Wizard, meet Succubus )

Now, as awesome as Misha Collins is.... angels (over in Supernatural-land) don't actually look like people, and Castiel doesn't actually look like an accountant.

Which is why there's.... this:

Title: Family Matters
Author: trillianastra
Fandoms: Inception, Leverage, RED
Characters/Pairings: Eames/Arthur, Ariadne, "Sophie", Eliot, and a cameo by Victoria
Prompt: For this at inception_kink.
Wordcount: 2392
Disclaimer: not my characters, just for fun.
Summary: Eames' sister disapproves of Arthur, because she thinks he isn't committed to her brother. Then Eames disappears and Arthur raises hell to get him back.
A note of explanation: The original prompt was not a crossover. But I have this idea where Eames' sister is Sophie from Leverage, and their mum is Victoria from RED (Helen Mirren's character). I also have this idea that "Sophie"'s real name is Irene Adler, because I'm a nerd like that. Anyway, enjoy...

Easy.

Olivia Dunham, Fringe.

(if anyone needs convincing... watch Brown Betty, in season 2. Best. Episode. Ever.)


A very close second would be Teresa Lisbon (The Mentalist).

Book-wise... erm, does Alexia Tarabotti (Soulless, Changeless, Blameless) count? She's not really a detective, but she... investigates stuff. She's third, btw.
