NCIS sga headslap
The subject line is a scene from my new BDSM fic which I'm enjoying far too much, for entirely obvious reasons *g*. It's 22,000 words long already, and Gibbs and Tony only JUST spoke to each other for the first time, so clearly they have a ways to go yet... Nikita is keeping me on track with constant prodding, but clearly it's gonna be another long one.

Moving on: Like just about everyone else, I've got a Dreamwidth account (http://xanthe.dreamwidth.org/). I'm Xanthe over there (nice to get my *actual* name!). I also snagged Xanthestories and NCIS Spankyfic over there too, just in case a mass exodus to DW occurs. What are people's views on that? Is everyone going to decamp over there? Or stay here? Or is fandom going to become fractured?

Now, tecchie question - I set up Xanthestories as a community over on DW because I find it very irritating to have to log in and out when posting between Xanthelj and Xanthestories on LJ - even when I use Semagic it's still annoying, esp for someone like me who always forgets things and has to go back and re-edit. BUT, I can't see a way of importing from a personal account LJ INTO a community on DW. I see they don't want people importing communities over which I can understand, but there doesn't seem to be any info on transporting from a personal account INTO a comm. I just assume it isn't possible.

Moving on again, I've given Mysti permission to zine "Damage". She also very kindly suggested zining ALL my other NCIS stories to date, so that's happening too (squee!). Bluespirit is making some truly gorgeous new title graphics for them which is very kind of her as NCIS Isn't even her fandom! {Hugs wonderful, talented and also just very nice Bluespirit tight}. I'll give details of how the zines can be bought when they're available but just to remind you I don't get any money for them :-). I think they might be available from Mysti's stand at the upcoming MediaWest con.

My rossettes for the photocomp arrived today! Squeeeee! I've stroked Harley with them - he looked unimpressed but then he really just wanted a treat, and not to be assaulted with colourful ribbons *g*.

I think that's it for now. Going to see the new Star Trek movie with FlyingNorth tomorrow. Squee! Oh, and even more squee - a RL friend has two new eight week old kittens so I'm going to meet them on Sunday. Squee!
cats harley and jemima sleeping
You won't remember I'm sure (because I didn't!) but at the end of Jan I submitted some photos of Harley and Jemima to a cat society photo comp. I hadn't heard anything and to be honest I'd forgotten all about it - and then today I got an email saying I'd won in two categories! I'm so excited! Apparently my rosettes are in the post :-).

I won in the "Glamour Puss" category for photos of female cats. I submitted one photo of Jemima for that one. Then there was the "Best Friends" category for two or more cats. Now, as you know, Harley and Jemima do a LOT of snuggling, so I submitted four photos for that one. I don't actually know which of them won that category so I'm posting them all! 

I doubt there were many entrants but I'm very happy all the same! I love my babies and I love when other people think they're cute too *g*

Title: Puppy Love
Author: Xanthe
Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo
Rating: PG
Genre: Slash
Category: Total crack. Really.
Wordcount: 4,000ish
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary: Tony's true inner self is revealed – as is his heart's desire…
Author's Notes: So, I got sidetracked again *g*. This time it's Nikita's fault – she knows why *g*. I should point out that I’m not making the slightest claim to originality here. The central conceit in this story is a tribute to the fabulous Issums Bunny which I read a few months back and loved. I’m also a fan of The Definition of Home by [livejournal.com profile] triskellion. And then there’s all those lovely SGA fics where Rodney and/or John get turned into cats… so this is my (very cracky) attempt at the genre *g*.

Extract: Tony lay down, put his nose on his front paws, and gazed up at Gibbs mournfully.

I'm exhausted! I went to this great event in a store in the local shopping mall after work last night - great fun, trying on dresses and having a "lip makeover" (!!!!!). I bought an expensive evening gown that I totally fell in love with, and a lipstick that I don't need - but now I'm shattered. I did write an incredibly silly Gibbs/DiNozzo crack fic yesterday though, so hope to post that at some point. I am still writing my big BDSMy fic and my threesomey fic but I keep getting sidelined by other plot bunnies along the way - which is fun! I'm just going with it :-).

Talking of crack...Nikita rewrote the dragonslayer/virgin sacrifice fairytale hilariously the other day, putting her own special spin on the proceedings. It's amazing how easily it works with NCIS characters *g*. I hope she turns this into a series ;-).

Saying goodbye to Abby had been hard, but he knew that this final farewell would be the hardest of all.

This isn't a post about cats.

It's a little post of links and stuff.

First off, go check out the wonderful soundtrack that [livejournal.com profile] vida_boheme has made for [livejournal.com profile] bluespirit_star's lovely story, Make a Wish. I feel so proud of this as I was beta on this story and I loved it and I know how hard Bluespirit worked on it, and I want everyone to love it as much as I do :-). How fantastic that someone loved it so much they made this brilliant soundtrack for it! Squee!

Secondly - Rocky Carroll's blog! How nice is RC? He's lovely. Also, he says something nice about MW and about how they've done another cast round table to go out with the S6 DVDs. Yay!

Thirdly, new, gorgeous, MH pics! More squee!

Fourthly, I really enjoyed this little story this morning. I hope she writes more!

I'm off out at the Grand Designs exhibition in Docklands with my mum today. Hoping to buy screens for my upstairs windows to prevent another Harley Great Escape. Oops - see, this post IS a bit about cats *g*.

Finally, I wrote a little 3,000 word ficcy yesterday as a result of a conversation with [livejournal.com profile] tejas a few days ago. Tejas is fast getting a reputation for provoking fics from everyone in the NCIS fandom. Hmph! And I was busy writing two OTHER fics before I got sidetracked, Missy! Anyway, hope to post the new ficcy tomorrow - it's one of those bittersweet little things. Sad but sweet (well, I hope!). Then back to the *other* ficcies - the Gibbs/Abby/Tony threesome one, and the Gibbs/Tony BDSM one that Nikita keeps nagging me about, uh, I mean, *inspiring* me to write. This is the one that made Bluespirit squee and has a very special history... Or maybe I'll get sidetracked by something else entirely. Yay! It's fun to be playing :-).
NCIS Gibbs/tony
[livejournal.com profile] taylorgibbs posted a link to this little gem today.

Pay careful attention around 1:28 when Michael Weatherly makes it clear what NCIS is *really* about *ggg*. We already knew that of course!

And I found this interview a few days ago:

TV Guide: What can you say about the reports of turmoil on the set, which ended with creator Don Bellisario leaving the show?
Michael Weatherly:
I stay largely outside the politics of the show. I learned two lessons on another show [Dark Angel, in which he costarred with — and became engaged to — Jessica Alba]: The less I say the better, and don't date your costar! So Mark Harmon and I have never dated. Though the Silver Fox and I did spend a week in Vermont that nobody knows about.


A week in Vermont, huh...?


I think MW's been reading too much slash *ggg*.
cats Harley the magnificent

Me again. I have a saga to tell...

So - at the end of my road is one of the busiest roads in London. As I've had cats killed on roads before (my beloved Merlin and Freddie in recent memory, and other cats as a child) I'm paranoid about keeping my babies safe. So I have my garden netted in as you'll all have seen from previous pictures I've posted. This means my cats can go out and sit in the sun and chase butterflies but not risk getting run over.

Anyways, Harley has a wonderful life, but he's an adventurer, and clearly thinks there are more exciting things happening outside the confines of the house and garden. He spends hours looking over the fence into my next door neighbours' gardens and occasionally makes a rush for the front door in an attempt to get out.  For the most part he's pretty happy, but every now and again he has his wanderlust moments. Today I had men fitting new vinyl in my bathroom, and unbenownest to me, they left the upstairs window open. I shut Harley and Jemima in the lounge while the men were here, then let them out when the men left and went to take a shower...and that was when Harley made his Great Escape.

So there was I in my pink dressing gown, with wet hair, running up and down the street looking for him. Luckily he had only gone as far as next door and was busy sniffing their tulips. One of the vinyl men climbed over the fence and let me into the garden where after several minutes crooning at him he finally came close enough to let me grab him and take him back home.

I'm sure HE had a wonderful day but I didn't *g*. Miss Jemima on the other hand was a good little girl and I found her sitting in the doorway of the room with the open window, waiting for me, and being a little scaredy cat *g*.

[info]flyingnorth   kindly made me a graphic to commemorate the occasion...
 



Next thing we know he'll be digging a tunnel out under the fence and hiding clumps of dirt in his paws and dumping it around the house...
 




Mentalist jane explains fanfic
It seems like forever since I posted Damage. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind, starting with getting the story ready for posting, and then the posting itself which was a bit of a marathon. Straight after posting, the lovely [livejournal.com profile] lisby and her son came to stay with me for a few days. We did London stuff - The London Eye, Westminster Abbey, The Globe Theatre - and had a scrumptious afternoon tea at The Dorchester. We watched eps of Dr Who together and ate lots of takeout. I've known Lisby for years now, since the old X Files days, and we had a good old catchup chat about XF fandom and all its many dramas and quirks. We also had a bit of a laugh about the whole SGA hoo-hah surrounding my BDSMverse fics a couple of years ago.

Then it was Easter and - squee! - the Dr Who special which I watched with [livejournal.com profile] flyingnorth at her place with her lovely squidgy cats. I loved it! Very fast moving and I really liked Christina/Michelle Ryan. Great character! It made me sad that DT is leaving though, as I'd have loved to have seen those two having adventures together. Then there was the usual semi-abusive-trauma-combined-with-good-food family time on Easter Sunday before a graceful collapse into the sofa on Monday and then back to work yesterday. I'm still tired! I want more collapsing on the sofa time!

Although I clearly posted Damage centuries ago now, I did want to just say a belated thanks to everyone for the amazing response. I had so many touching emails during that week, and so much thoughtful feedback on LJ. I really enjoyed all the chats I had with people about the story. It was, hands down, the hardest story I've ever written, and the one I had the most worries about posting. I did have a lot of help from a lot of wonderful people while writing the story though. Most especially from my amazing betas [livejournal.com profile] nikitariddick and [livejournal.com profile] liresius and also from my audiencers [livejournal.com profile] bluespirit_star, [livejournal.com profile] flyingnorth, [livejournal.com profile] kateri_e, [livejournal.com profile] taylorgibbs, and my legal expert *g* [livejournal.com profile] sasha1600. I'm grateful to every single one of them :-). Mysti has very kindly offered to zine Damage but I've said no for now because of the sensitive content. Not sure what others think about that.

I felt the urge to start a new story yesterday. It's a complete change of pace after Damage - it's a Tony/Abby/Gibbs threesome with some kinkiness in it that I'm writing more for my own amusement than anything else, so whether I'll ever finish it or post it I don't know! Nikita made me write up a list of plot bunnies yesterday and there's 7 or 8 on it, so I might just skip over to one of the others instead. I feel like playing around right now.

Did anyone watch the new Red Dwarf over Easter? I found it a bit disappointing. I think maybe it's a show that's run its course and should remain forever in our memories for the good old days of Ace Rimmer, and Dwayne Dibbley, and the good luck virus, and all that stuff. I still adore the theme tune though *g*.

And OMG! Is anyone watching Britain's Got Talent? I am, unashamedly, a total fan. That first ep - *weeps*! OMG! OMG! OMG! The lady who sang "I dreamed a dream" from Les Mis! Seriously must-see TV. Just amazing. The entire audience was mocking her because of the way she looked and then...well...nobody expected what happened next. Even Simon looked completely stunned. Here's the YouTube link. if you can watch it without getting shivers up your spine then you are made of stronger stuff than I! Even the BBC have noticed how many hits she's been getting on YouTube: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7999727.stm

And finally, I don't watch SPN as a rule (I get scared easily!) but I did watch the most recent ep with the slash shoutout to the fans and thought it was hilarious! Now, if only Tony and Tim could find that
"On Your Six" archive of fanfic for Tim's books then I'd be very amused indeed *g*.

Iz Hurt!

Mar. 27th, 2009 08:23 am
ncis hurt!tony

I twisted my ankle badly yesterday walking over Blackfriars Bridge. It hurt SO much. Went down on my right knee and hurt my left ankle. Then because it hurt so much I hobbled to the side of the bridge and actually cried in pain. And lots of people walking past kept coming up to me to ask if I was okay - people get nervous when other people cry on the side of bridges. I'm sure they thought I was about to leap into the Thames. I wasn't. It just HURT so much. Anyway, now it's swollen up to three times its normal size and I have a bruise on my knee. I also have a cold! So I'm feeling very sorry for myself. And I have teh important meetings today so I can't even stay at home with my foot up and wrapped in a cold compress - I'll have to drag myself in to the office.

I've had a thought about S6 of NCIS. The really bad characterisation has been hovering for awhile now but only went over the edge in the past 9 or so eps. So I was wondering if that co-incided with the spinoff happening? Shane Brennan is the showrunner for both, and I've seen this happen so often before, starting with The X Files. A show is successful, so TPTB want a spinoff and get the showrunner to oversee it, and he gets stretched and the original show suffers as a result. I'm not a huge fan of SB if I'm, honest - I think Donald Bellisario had a much better handle on the show and characters - but when SB's on the ball the show is okay. At the moment I wonder if it's lacking some kind of essential oversight, and that's why the characters take shark-jumping leaps in most of the eps. Just a thought...

Also, re SB - he's gotta stop giving these terrible spoilers. He over-eggs the pudding alarmingly and when the actual ep airs it's nothing like the hype!

Finally, please could they put Tony in jeans again for a few eps? I saw a thing recently about them getting his "look" right  in S6 with the retro suits and the James Bond feel, and I do occasionally like his suits, but I actually prefer him in jeans. The Twilight/Kill Ari look is my favourite on him!

"Damage" isn't quite ready for posting tomorrow. Hey - I'm sure you want the commas to be in all the right places! Actually, I can't promise they will be, but it won't be for want of trying on my part. I've become positively obsessed with them in this story. Besides, there's just a bit more polishing I want to do. It's such a long story, and what with the extreme angst and all, I want to make sure it's as good as I can make it before unleashing it on you. Eep. I've sweated buckets over this one, and really I dunno what you're all gonna think of it.

Anyway, I can give you a firm posting date which is next Monday (30th). I need the weekend to break it all up into tiny pieces for posting. After posting "Tony's Dry Spell" the other day I remembered just how long a job the actual posting side of things is! And that was for a short story.

Here's how I thought I'd do it. The story is written in six parts ranging in length from about 19,000 words to 30,000 words each. I'll post one part a day starting on Monday and finishing the following Saturday, which is when I'll also post the entire story to my website. So if you don't like reading things in instalments then you know it'll all be complete and ready for reading on Saturday 4th April.

If you do like instalments, then I'll see you next Monday morning :-). Um...you might want to bring tissues...
