Nia's DW

God, it's too late. I've developed a huge crush on a third fandom aka third main ship - Arthur/Eames from Inception. I had a first crush after I read Pet by ladyvader. It's got tremendously bigger since I've started reading earlgreytea68's Inception fics. That way I found her link to knackorcraft's Inception Guide For Beginners. And now I'm lost. Those lists. All the fics on them all brilliant (at least the ones I've read so far). So, yes, I blame EGT too. ;p
Best time ever for getting the knack of another fandom with some big fests starting in my other most beloved fandoms. *shackes head at herself*

Thanks for all the well wishes for our little one! She has still fever- thankfully under 39°C (no medication necessary) but isn't nauseous anymore. So, I'm mostly online via mobile and not really writing things or commenting properly because it's just a nuisance on the phone.

But I had some lovely reading time while we lay on the sofa or bed together (and she grabbing my hand like a limpet) these last days. And man, I've had some luck with the chosen fics recently:

- It all started with the wonderful Sherlock fic 'The Edinburgh Problem' by snorklepie (rec is here, 2nd last)

- Then I read this great story on hp_mhealthfest 'The Butterfly Effect' by current anon. Seriously, go and take a look at that adorable Ron and how he is going to help a cursed Draco.

- Oh, then came 'The Gilded Cage' by BeautifulFiction. Yes, this is me reccing another Alpha/Omega fic. It's such a complex story with a rogue society, some great ideas on Alpha/Beta/Omega biology, a very intruiging case - at least for me as a scientist - which maybe distracts a bit from the MC's relationship at first but becomes so much more over time. So, watch it while reading! :D
I gutted this 327k fic in 3,5 days and am still in awe about it (need to write a proper rec soon).

- And one more. Inception this time. Or an Inception/Nothing Hill fusion to be more precise. 'I Seem to Be a Verb' by Aja (Bookshop on tumblr). You see. There's Arthur with his Nothing Hill bookstore and one day Eames (the big actor) shows up and grabs a book Arthur never wanted to sell. And I learned some things about architecture, three-word-book-titles, Buckminster Fuller and movies I've never heard of. This fic was 93k of gold.

I'm reading a Merlin football AU at the moment told from Arthur's pov- 'There are no Gays in Football' by Malu_3. It's so cool to read finally about a sport I know a lot about. And yes, I can feel the heartbreak looming (it's 210k long and I'm just 18% in).

Well, it's still some days until Smoochfest and Holmestice start posting...

Hope you are all well! I try to answer my messages soon...

Sorry, I'm very busy reading this great story at the moment. I'll be back asap.
At least I managed to write one message today. Oh, and replied to some comments.
*waves*

Amor!

It didn't go as planned with the promised birthday fic of yours. I wanted to write something for one of your gorgeous art pieces, but couldn't come up with more than 150 words during a whole weekend - including a 'writing Friday'. I re-wrote those bloody words around 7 or 8 times until I finally gave up. I whined into Canda's ears for days until she suggested to take another pic of yours. From that moment it was clear that we needed to write your b-day present together (~reasons- you'll see). And we did.

Happy birhtday, darling! I hope you are having a wonderful day with your family, friends and lots of presents (from all around the world). May this new year of your life be way better than the last has been! If I could, I would let rain flowers, sunshine and money (bank notes ;P) on you - like Mother Hulda in the fairy tale. I tried, but somehow still lack the power. ;P

Enough babbling, bebé! Here's your present:

Thanks to the wonderful lauren3210 for beta-reading and to this_bloody_cat, who helped to put the odds in our favour that you are going to like it.

It took me days to do this meme on tumblr, but I've finally managed.
And as I'm very lazy today, I just take the link and post it here- http://niakantorka.tumblr.com/post/119298906163/tagged-by-gracerene09-1-why-this-url-part-of-it
If you are on my f-list here, but we haven't found us on tumblr, feel free to harass me into following you. :D

Today I've seen people from my f-list asking questions about words and their use and thought, that's cool. Because I wanted to ask something for a while but always forgot about it.

It's about one line from the lyrics of Polaroid by Imagine Dragons.

What it the meaning of I'm a day late two face?

I can think about a few things for two face; the Roman God of two faces Janus, the comic figure two-faces from Gotham City or someone being that way - showing two different faces to the world. But all of it doesn't fit with day late (at least not for me).

So, if someone knows what they are talking about, please share your knowledge.
Thank you! <3

Sorry, I'm busy in RL and I feel a bit torn about what to do first online. So, I did other things and didn't manage to write a post yesterday. Even today I've thought about skipping my post again, but than I thought that's not the right attitude. ;p

Did I do something interesting today? Oh yes, at least imo. I researched on a vet medicine topic at work. That's always a highlight for me (being a vet who doesn't work as one anymore). But we really answer all the questions about cancer. Even when someone thinks about using goat milk or camel pee for therapy. Or they need some information about a therapy for their animal. Today it was about a therapeutic vaccine for a semi-malign skin cancer in horses.

And yes, people ask crazy things sometimes, but - let's be honest - we would too, when looking for the one treatment that must help and kill this devil of a disease. I wish we could always name such a treatment. I really, really do!

Dear amorette!

Have a wonderful birthday, a great and sunny day, get lovely presents, eat some fancy cake and spend some good times with your friends and family!

Sadly, I didn't manage to write two kinky fics for one day. But I'm sure, you'll have a lot of fun with Grace's moresome/gangbang fic. And - as I took a closer look at one of your darker fics today (Neither Stone Nor Iron, which was such a great story and should get much more kudos) - I think you might like the fic I wrote for Canda, too. It's dark, very short and twisted. Just an idea, of course.

I'm so happy that I've got to know you better over the last months, especially on your tumblr. You find so many awesome things. :D

Hugs and kisses! ♥
Nia

I need to sneak up that meme currently going on (first seen at kitty_fic's or akatnamedeaster's LJ).

What I'm reading:
Anytime by silentauror
A River Without Banks by Chryse, I wish I had more time for that. It's about 200k and nothing one can read inbetween.
all the ongoing fics by lomonaaeren

What I'm modding:
nothing
I would have to skip sleep, if I start to mod on top of all the things.

What I'm thinking about:
- To watch out for BeautifulFiction finishing her The Gilded Cage- only the epilogue is missing and I'm really looking forward to reading that fic. blithelybonny is reading it and everyone else is over the moon about it too.
- I'm not doing hd_collab, but am collaborting with the still mostly absent sylvaticginger. We've already started messaging back and forth, but are not rushing things.
- A b-day present for a beloved LJ friend.
- A b-day present for another beloved LJ friend.
- My fortheloveofhp that I really should start to write.
- That I need to write less and read more. Seriously, I get cranky when I can't read enough.

What I'm creating:
The second b-day present comes next.

What I'm watching:
Nothing. I'm a lost case when it comes to watch things; like 4-5 films at the cinema, maybe another 2-3 at home/with candamira and once in a while an episode of a series- all of that per year.

Yeah, when I have nothing to talk about, let's pick music (or books or fics;p) as a topic.

One of my favourite songs since 2010:

When it came out we (Mr Kantorka and I) were on our honeymoon in New Zealand. Like clockwork it was always played on the radio in the car while we drove and drove and drove - across the South Island and across the North Island. We both still think the song has a wonderful beat and even 5 years later it's able to put me in a good mood.
