I'm feeling a bit annoyed right now, at myself and at the world. Today I started playing Final Fantasy III for my Nintendo DS, except my DS ran out of battery power. And I must have obviously left the power cord for it at home, because I forgot it needed one. All my other gameboys use regular batteries! XD So I left the cord at home, and I can't really call and ask my parents to ship it because I have no idea where it might be, and I probably have enough cords in my room that they'd grab the wrong one. So I ordered a new cord off the internet, but it's going to take a few days to get here, and in the meantime I can't play my brand new game. *sigh*

Also, I feel a bit urgh with fic. I want to read fic, but it feels like I've already read everything a million times, and I don't feel like wading through a bunch of crap on archives to find something new and good. And preferably long. I love DW dearly, but it has so few really long (as in, over 100,000 words) fics, and those are my favorite kind. So I've been sort of rereading some old HP favorites, but they also fall into the "read a million times" category.

I've been so desperate for things I haven't read/done before that I even DID MY HOMEWORK today. Two papers that I started, and finished, more than a day before they're due! Truly desperate measures. XD

So, anyone want to give me some recs? Preferably long fic, plotty with romance being my favorite, though I will read shorter fics, as long as they're not ones I've already read a bunch. Fandoms I'll read are: Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Star Wars, X-Files, West Wing, Legend of Zelda, various Final Fantasies, Kingdom Hearts, and...probably a few other things. XD Anyone giving me recs will be much loved.

I also have a bunch of comments to answer, but I'm not really in the mood right now. I'll probably get to them tomorrow.

I'm not sure if you've read it, but there's always Mina's Equally Cursed and Blessed, a loooooong SW fic. There's also just about anything JediNemo writes, as she gives good, long, plotty Luke-Vader stories.

I've read Mina's fics, and some of JediNemo's, though I'll check out the rest, thanks! :)

You could try fic by this author http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1584073/ she's brilliant. Start with Into The Storm, then In Shadows and Darkness, and lastly At the Brink of the Dawn and the darkness. That's her trilogy. Her other story's are brilliant little one off scenes.

Ohh, those sounds interesting! Thanks!

You'll need to let me know what you think. I do so like a dark Luke and she has written the best one I've ever read!

Running out of batteries is always a pain in the arse. I've left my phone charger at home before, and had to get my parents to hunt it down!

Anyway, I actually asked for some long fic recs recently (guess which fandom? ;-) ) and got a few here. I haven't read all of them, so I can't necessarily recommend them. If you haven't already read them, I'd add A Thorn in the Drum (LotTL AU with Rose, and some rather dark elements) and The Scientist (AU from mid series 3).

Yeah, I've forgotten my phone charger a few times. I've also forgotten my phone. XD

I have read A Thorn in the Drum, but I'll check out The Scientist. Thanks!

Hey, would you be interested in seeing "Prince Caspian" at campus films tonight? I wanna see it, but don't know anyone who's going. :)

Unfortunately, I find myself in the same boat that you are. However I have yet to become so proactive about finishing my homework. Xp ha! Have you gotten my present yet? I sent a gift to my friend in maryland at about the same time and she hasn't recieved hers yet... though she is quite further away, I thought i'd check to make sure yours had arrived as well.

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Um, nope, haven't gotten it. You want to email me the address you sent it to and make sure it's the right one?

[velesia.livejournal.com]

yea, send it to me just in case.
I copied it off that sticky tab you gave me, but maybe I wrote something wrong!
