I finally saw Red yesterday. It was entertaining and completely over the top (somehow more so than even the previews had led me to believe). I will likely buy it on DVD when it is released.

Karl Urban was hot and had the tough job of taking himself and his character seriously while the movie around him was madcap. Helen Mirren is absolutely phenomenal and I love her (love love love!), and Bruce Willis and Mary Louise Parker won me over. Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, and Brian Cox were hilarious and quirky. I liked the "caper" aspect to the movie, although it did take me a while to settle in and just accept the movie for what it was: funny, quirky, ridiculous fun.

I have a short shift at work this afternoon (What was I thinking?!?! Oh, right, I was thinking that I want to not be broke) and am waiting to make sure I won't be canceled. I've sorted my piled up mail, organized my bills-to-be-paid, washed and folded some of my pile of laundry, and broke down cardboard boxes and took them out for recycling. In short, I feel like I've actually accomplished something. I also have begun a recipe for pomegranate truffles that sounds divine. The filling is now hardening in the fridge. We shall see how it turns out tonight when I get back and finish it.

My goal is to have a draft of my [livejournal.com profile] space_wrapped fic finished by Friday. Is anyone available and interested in taking a look at it or even doing a full beta? Star Trek, Kirk/McCoy, humor, unknown length (not long though).

This week's theme was squicks. Prompts were both squicks that the prompter has as well as things the prompter likes that other people often find squicky.

Being unable to leave well enough alone I simply had to turn two of the prompts on their ears. I love Uhura and tend not to find the "Uhura is a total bitch for no apparent reason" fics as well as the "McCoy is a wuss who must always be saved and never do the saving" trope to not be my cup of tea, so I toyed with those "squicks" a bit. I know, I know, perhaps not what the prompter intended (or maybe it was?) but since this comm is a free-for-all comm rather than a gift or wish fulfillment comm, I figure it's okay to risk not interpreting the prompts as intended. My cup of tea is not your cup of tea and vice versa.

My contributions were as follows:

Prompt: Uhura, Author's Choice - Bitch!Uhura
Authority; Uhura, OC, Kirk, PG )

***

Prompt: Kirk, Spock, McCoy - Weak!McCoy
A Man of Many Talents; McCoy/Kirk/Spock, R )

***

Prompt: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura – Affairs
Imagination; Uhura/McCoy/Kirk/Spock, PG-13 )

***

Prompt: Sarek, Amanda - Pon farr
Fully Informed; Sarek/Amanda, PG-13 )

***

I don't know why I write cutesy Sarek/Amanda. They weren't cutesy in the movie, so I have no idea where it's coming from. I like it though ;)

***

***

Prompt: Pike, Gaila - Phoenix
Wanna See Me Rise?*; Pike/Gaila, R )

***

Ummmm, clearly I'm a horndog this week? I dunno.

So I was in France for the last B2S and it starts ridiculously later over in Europe, so I only managed one fic and then crashed hard. On the plus side I intend it to be suggestive of K/S/M which is one of my guaranteed-to-press-my-buttons topics, so that's nice :) Only suggestive, though, because writing porny scenes scares me when there's just two players (hence my tendency for fade-to-blacks and ending before the porn actually gets much going). Add in a third and I run in fear. I shall stick to reading porny threesomes. Fortunately this fandom does not disappoint with the number of threesome/moresome options out there.


This weeks theme: Band Names
Prompt: Prompt: Author's Choice - …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Trail of Dead; Kirk/Spock/McCoy, PG-13 )
