Sweet Charity Fandom Auction! & meme!
Hi guys! Because I have no soul, I'm selling myself and my services for the good of fandom and everything at this year's Sweet Charity auction. I'm up for two pieces of fiction (in a bunch of fandoms, including all of my major ones! and Rahm! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY OATH TO WEAN MYSELF AWAY FROM THIS FANDOM, I DO NOT KNOW, BUT HEY, IF THE WORDS FLOW, I WON'T BE TRIPPIN') and a layout/icon set/poster design, so if you have about 3 GPB to spare, I am a very valid economic stimulus option. :D :D :D Go clicky clicky and search for me under (surprise!!!) "karanguni".
Proceeds are going to RAINN, which is full of worthiness.
Also, I JEDI MIND TRICK all of you into pitching in and putting your very noble selves and services up as well! More people = more fic/goodies = more money to people who need it = MORE EXCELLENCE IN THE UNIVERSE.
♥ See y'all there. Auction's on the 28th - 31st of March, and you can sign up any time until then! It's not just fic and graphics - you can offer jewellery, art, cloth, food & drink, vids, and the ambiguous+ubiquitous "miscellaneous".
Feel free to shoot me questions about my offer in this post!
[edit] MEMETIME.
tell me something
I know that I know very little about all you amazing people on my flist - the things you care about, the matters that hit home, the way you live and sometimes even where you live. This post is open, and anonymous commenting is open -- go 'head, tell me a bit or piece of your story: post about why you're here on LJ, or what you fear the most, or just CHAT IN CAPSLOCK; tell me about the fandoms I'm not in that you want to share, or about the charities you'd support (like the one up there? :D?). I SEND ♥ OF INVITATION 'specially to those of you whom I don't cross-fandoms with very often! :D :D :D

I consider my LJ a variety of performance art. I am constantly aware that I am writing my posts to an audience, so I strive to be honest, candid, and entertaining in my writing. Aside from all the squee, that is. That's just me self-indulgently keeping a record of things I like. ;D
I think I may put my crafting skills to work for Sweet Charity this year. I must consider what all I could do.

AND IN RETURN, HERE, SOMETHING ABOUT THE MOST AWESOME
Your icon always makes me smile. It's about one of the most recognisable on my flist, and seeing it around brings a grin to my face. We don't share too many fandoms, but it is supercalifragalistic kind of :D that we do share DC! :D Thank you for never

I THINK ALL OF MY FANDOMS QUALIFY AS OBSCURE. QUICK RUNDOWN:
SAKURA GARI - MANGA WHERE COUNTRY BOY COMES TO CITY AND ENDS UP AS MANSERVANT TO THIS TRULY EMOTIONALLY FUCKED UP MAN. IT HAS SLASH AND POWER AND CONSENT ISSUES AND MOSTLY I LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF HOW VERY TRAIN-WRECK-Y IT IS, AND HOW THE ONE OF THE PROTAGONISTS/ANTAGONIST ALTERNATELY PULLS ON MY HEARTSTRINGS AND MAKES ME HATE HIM LIKE BURNING. I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S GOING TO BE A TRULY HAPPY ENDING, AND IF THERE IS, I WILL ACTUALLY BE KIND OF DISAPPOINTED. OPTIMISM, OMGPLEASEYES, HAPPY, JUST...NO.
DOCTRINE OF LABYRINTHS - SERIES OF BOOKS, LAST ONE TO COME OUT IN ~APRIL~. I REALLY LIKE THIS FOR THE WRITING, WHICH IS ROTATING FIRST PERSON POV AND PULLED OFF SO, SO, WELL. ONE OF THE PROTAGONISTS IS ALSO KIND EMOTIONALLY MESSED UP BUT REACTS BY BEING A GRADE-A ASSHOLE; THE OTHER IS LESS WITH THE ISSUES, BUT THE ONES HE HAS ARE MORE SUBTLE AND I ROOT FOR HIM MORE THOUGH I FIND THE ASSHOLE PROTAGONIST MORE FASCINATING. THERE IS AN INTERESTING TAKE ON MAGIC, REALLY EXCELLENT WORLD-BUILDING (INCLUDING SLANG!), AT LEAST ONE KICKASS LADY, AND WHAT I THINK REALLY CARRIES IT IS THE CHARACTERS, THOUGH THE PLOT IS INTERESTING IN ITS OWN WAY. THERE IS ALSO ONE-SIDED HALF-BROTHERLY LUST? I DON'T SHIP IT, PERSONALLY, BUT IT SEEMS FAIRLY POPULAR OVER ON YULETIDE.
WARCRAFT - EVERY TIME I ADMIT TO LIKING THIS (AND ALSO TO PLAYING WORLD OF WARCRAFT) I DIE A LITTLE OF SHAME INSIDE BECAUSE BLIZZARD REALLY NEEDS A KICK IN THE PANTS REGARDING TREATMENT OF FEMALE CHARACTERS (BARING OF MIDRIFFS? NOT REALLY APPROPRIATE FOR NATIONAL LEADERS!). AND YET I FIND THE LORE AND BACKSTORY TO BE QUITE FASCINATING, AS WELL AS THE GENERAL WORLD OF AZEROTH AND SOME OF THE MAJOR CHARACTERS AS WELL. SYLVANAS WINDRUNNER KICKS LOTS OF ASS, AND EVEN THOUGH BLIZZARD TOTALLY RAPED KAEL'THAS' CHARACTER I HAVE MY PERSONAL FANON THAT MAKES IT ALL BETTERS AND UM. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I LIKE THIS FANDOM, REALLY. EVERYONE NEEDS A FANDOM OF SHAME?
MERLIN - AHAHAHAHA OKAY MORE FANDOM OF SHAME. ACTUALLY NOT THAT OBSCURE, BUT THE ONE THAT'S MOST EASILY ACCESSIBLE. THE WRITING IS AWFUL, BUT THE ACTING IS SO GOOD AND THE ACTORS ARE SO HOT AND AGAIN, CHARACTERS. REALLY IF THIS SERIES DIDN'T HAVE THE ACTORS IT HAS IT WOULD SUCK SO HARD; FORTUNATELY, COLIN MORGAN AND BRADLEY JAMES HAVE THE LOOKS AND ACTING CHOPS TO RESCUE IT FROM THE PIT OF SUCK. I KIND OF DELIGHT IN ALL THE LIBERTIES IT TAKES WITH ARTHURIAN CANON. THERE IS SLASHY AND FEMMESLASHY SUBTEXT AND THE VILLAINS ARE, I FEEL, QUITE INTRIGUING AND VERY SYMPATHETIC. THOUGH I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I FEEL LIKE THE WRITERS HAVE TO HAVE STUMBLED SIDEWAYS UPON THESE CHARACTERIZATIONS BECAUSE THE WRITING IS REALLY SO VERY BAD. STILL NOT AS ASHAMED OF LIKING IT AS I AM OF WARCRAFT THOUGH.
PLEASE DO NOT BE AFRAID I AM NOT NORMALLY THIS CAPSLOCKY.

I SHARE YOUR OBSCURE FANDOM PAIN; I MEAN, MY FAVOURITEST FAVOURITE THING IN THE WORLD IS THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS, WHICH I AM SLOWLY BUT TIRELESSLY PIMPING TO ALL WHO MEET ME. \O
SAKURA GARI WOW THAT SOUNDS REALLY QUITE COOL AND I WOULD TOTALLY READ THAT IF I COULD GET MY HANDS ON A COPY. WHO'S IT BY??? :D????
DOCTRINE O' LABRYINTHS OOOOH, ASSHOLES! I LOVE GRADE A ASSHOLES! I NEVER SEEM TO WRITE ANYTHING BUT GRADE A ASSHOLES, NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT! MMM, YULETIDE FANDOMS. THEY DO MAKE DECEMBER SHINE, NE? NE?
SIDENOTE: MY FINGERS ARE EFFING FREEZING; THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THE ROOM THAT I DESIGN IN IS KILLER, SO IF THERE ARE TYPOS, PARDON ME ONCE MORE!!
WHO MIGHT THE AUTHOR OF THIS LOVELY SOUNDING SERIES BE? *LAZY ++++*
WARCRAFT - HAHAHA, WHY SHAME? BESIDES, Y'KNOW, THE FEMALE FAILURE AT LIFE TM THAT EVERY MALE DOMINATED INDUSTRY IS GOOD AT (BUTTHENAGAIN, WE THE SLASHER FEMALES MUST SURELY BE GETTING189284092 THINGS WRONG ABOUT THE MEN WE STICK IN BED WITH EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME -- OOOOH, FANDOM FLIP /BRAINS) HEE HEE, I AM SO AFRAID TO PLAY THAT GAME BECAUSE I THINK I MAY LOSE ANY BITS OF SOUL I HAVE LEFT TO IT.
MERLIN - HAHAHA THE WRITING IS AWFUL, BUT IT'S MADE UP FOR BY THE 2480249 ZILLION AMAZING AUTHORS IT HAS IN FANDOM, I MEAN SERIOUSLY, ASTOLAT, GUYS, YOU CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT. HAHAHAHA THE SLASH IS UNBEARABLE. FACE-FOOT RUBBING! I AM SAD, THOUGH: EVEN THOUGH I'VE WATCHED A HANDFUL OF EPS OF THIS, I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN PULLED INTO FANDOM, WHICH MAKES ME SAD, AS IT HAS EATEN 80% OF MY FLIST AND CAPTURED THE MINDS OF MY FAVOURITE WRITERS. \O
DO NOT BE AFRAID; I AM ONLY 50% THIS CAPSLOCKY MYSELF. ♥ TO YOUR AMAZING LJ LURKDOM; I WAS LIKE THAT FOR 284928048 YEARS MYSELF, BUT NOW THAT I'M IN FANDOM I GET TO REALLY MEET AND TALK TO AND SPAZZ WITH SUCH GREAT FLISTERS AS YOURSELF, AND IT IS GREAT FUN AND SOMETIMES WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SHARE MANY FANDOMS AT ALL. :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

DOCTRINE OF LABYRINTHS - IS BY SARAH MONETTE. IF YOU WRITE FELIX I WILL BE...I DON'T KNOW, I MIGHT LIKE, EXPLODE OF AWESOME OR SOMETHING. HE IS THE KIND OF ASSHOLE THAT I STILL SECRETLY WANT TO BE HAPPY, WTF BRAIN. HE DOES SPEND MOST OF THE FIRST BOOK CRAZY, THOUGH. IF YOU'RE GOING TO READ IT I SUGGEST TRYING TO READ THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS (MELUSINE AND THE VIRTU RESPECTIVELY) BACK TO BACK; THEY ARE REALLY MORE LIKE TWO HALVES OF A WHOLE. ALSO THE VIRTU HAS FELIX REALLY BEING HIS ASSHOLE SELF. :D
WARCRAFT - PERSONALLY I DON'T HAVE TROUBLE STOPPING PLAYING WOW, BUT I KNOW PEOPLE CALL I ADDICTIVE AND I CAN SEE HOW. OH BLIZZARD. YOU FAIL SO HARD WHEN IT COMES TO RESPECTING YOUR FEMALE CHARACTERS, AND YET I PAY YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF PLAYING YOUR GAME. orz
MERLIN - WELL, YES, I HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN SUCKED INTO FANDOM YET EITHER. BUT I DO LIKE HAVE A BASIS FOR READING FANFIC AS OPPOSED TO MY USUAL FAFFING ABOUT READING FANFIC WITHOUT ANY CANON EXCEPT WIKIPEDIA. IT'S QUITE INTERESTING, I'VE NEVER REALLY "FANGIRLED" A LIVE-ACTION SERIES, MUCH LESS ONE THAT'S IN ENGLISH AND HAS A DISTINCT LACK OF EFFEMINATE PRETTYBOYS AND/OR JAILBAIT, AND IT'S STRANGE THAT WHEN I READ MERLIN FIC I CAN TOTALLY HEAR THEIR VOICES SAYING LINES AND ALSO, OCCASIONALLY SEE THE ACTORS MAKING FACES.
(THOUSAND TIMES YES TO ASTOLAT: I LOVE ONFINDAN. AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DIRECTOR'S CUT OF ROOM 20.)

If you really want to catch me in the music that I love, it's accoustic guitar, and vocal harmonies. Actually, accoustics in general are a particular favorite of mine, but I adore harmonies. Absolutely adore them. I will literally freeze stock-still in order to just listen. ♥

I love music too, and lord knows that I wish I was less lazy and more keen on going out there and getting a tonne of stuff to listen to. It surprises me how much I enjoy jazz, for one -- I go out into Starbucks and sit down for 3 hours and I find myself just bopping along... Meanwhile I find my own mp3 player dull dull dull. 8D

Anyway, DC COMICS. If you do love Bruce in B.Beyond, and you think that Halloween/Victory is amazing, then you must must must BE CONVERTED TO NIGHTWINGDOM. I direct you to pimp post 1 (http://karanguni.livejournal.com/57860.html#cutid1) and pimp post 2 (http://karanguni.livejournal.com/63021.html), AND IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE, WELL. There are many enablers on this flist. :D :D :D
