a week of fic
Aug. 1st, 2016 08:25 pmI got so many cute prompts for that last post I did (seriously, I have just been gazing at them for like the last week, as one does) that I have decided just now, at 8:23 on a Monday, to try and write a ficlet a day using some of them. I am making this post solely to hold myself to this rash proclamation. I have had a lot of fic ideas lately but am having an unusually hard time with follow-through (I suppose not that unusual, it is extra hard to do anything during the summer and I am working a lot) so I think just dashing off some short fics might be good for me. My only guidepost for this will be not allowing myself any more time than I have throughout the day. I may end up posting merely seven days of single sentences, or a desert wasteland of absolutely nothing. Let's see.
But really you guys, those prompts were so nice, just what I wanted!

fics I'm never going to write
Jun. 23rd, 2016 06:51 pmThis comes somewhat on the flipside of my last WIP post, but it's actually more inspired by my recently getting back into Game of Thrones. I still have the feeling that I could cease watching GoT tomorrow and probably not give like a lick but not caring too deeply has allowed me to enjoy the show more than I have in a long time. It's fun for me again and my investment is light, but it's there. What does that have to with this post, though? Well, caring even a little about GoT got me thinking about the fics I started for it back when I used to care that ended up dropped by the wayside when I lost interest in the show. It had me diving into my perpetually unfinished fic folder to see if I could dig out anything amusing. And I found a lot of stuff that I had totally forgotten about. None of these fics will ever see completion but they might provide a little bit of amusement. Not everything in here is GoT-related, by the way.

I haven't done a TV post in a while, which is unfortunate because I feel like it's been a particularly good year for TV. Or maybe just a particularly good year for me and TV; I feel like I've been watching and enjoying so many more shows than I did in recent years past.
As of right now, I am desperately obsessed with Penny Dreadful. Desperately obsessed. I have honestly not felt like this about a show in a long time; FX's You're the Worst probably came the closest to rustling up such intensity of feeling in me. And of course excluding longer-running now-defunct stuff like Mad Men. I am just so satisfied with Penny Dreadful; it is like everything 13-year-old goth me would have ever wanted in a show, except also attuned to 25-year-old me's non-asshole tastes. What do I even do until season three.
I don't know if anyone on my flist watches it so I'mma try to keep this post a mix of spoilery and spoiler-free; let's just all dive in together.

new journal name!
Mar. 11th, 2012 09:20 pmSO. I have impulsively changed my username! Artemis_sparks is no more and as of now, I am ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
margottenenbaum! I have been meaning to change my username for ages, actually, because I fucking hated artemis_sparks. I came up with it when I was FOURTEEN and it was so cheesy and just not me anymore. Though I will always think on it fondly, of course. I could never think of anything to change it to but I've been going through an insane The Royal Tenenbaums / The Darjeeling Limited phase lately and it just felt right?
So that's that! I hope everyone likes it and, if they don't, too bad.
