Un assemblage de mensonges

This is the fanfiction and fanmix journal of sailorptah.

It was formerly found at reseda_ptah, until for various reasons I decided to move. The LJ account is no longer being updated, and will sit quietly, untouched, until the deactivation of the LJ servers or the heat death of the universe, whichever comes first.

The stories for the Magical Girl Fic/Art Swap 2011 are live!

I got Request, a Homura-centric multifandom story from a crossover universe that works exactly the way I'd like it to. The fic I wrote will be crossposted after the author reveals (but feel free to guess in the meantime!).

I will post the names of all the files in my WIP folder(s), regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Choose one [or more], and I will post a random line or two.

My WIP folder has a ton of filetypes and formats, including PNGs (finished but unposted art), PSPs (unfinished art), JPGs (reference pictures for things I want to do), and TXTs containing meta and fanmix ideas. For meme intents and purposes, I'll limit it to TXTs with fics. When there are multiple chapters in multiple files, I've only included #1.

All .txt files, with the content to be posted into a DW "Update Journal" field. As you can see, they tend to start out as vague descriptions of what's in them, and get nice pretty filenames when I've come up with a title. On the other hand, that doesn't mean the nicely-formatted ones are all finished - sometimes the title is the first thing I come up with...

I have my card for round 2 of hc_bingo! Copied in full on the masterpost :D

So here's the big question. The big list o' points'n'scoring states that there's a special prize for getting all 25 prompts into a single piece. And that piece can be a vid. Can I find appropriate fake news clips for all 25?

Those of you who have been itching for more of the Greyverse, you're in luck, because ladyjaderains has gone and written a fanon/AU continuation: S&J (part 1).

It's different in a lot of ways from the story proper...but I suspect most people who liked the original will enjoy it. Particularly those of you who have expressed a desire to see a certain Dom get punched in the face.

Also, I should mention! If you have questions about any of my fics that you've never found an opportune time to ask, drop over at my tumblr and ask away. Not only will you get answers, they will be in blank verse. And a good time will be had by all.

The PSA: Through February 28, anyone can create a Dreamwidth account, no invite code needed. Those of you who have been browsing anonymously or with OpenID, now's your chance to make an honest user of yourself.

The rec: And Shine Simple Heroes, a must-read if you are any kind of Shine fan. Don't worry if you don't recognize some of the crossovers, just hang in there: it has something for everyone, and the ending is absolutely golden.

The Tumblr: Fuck Yeah, Iambic Pentameter. (...Don't look at me like that. It's a convention of the medium.) In which I answer all your questions, in blank verse. Fic- and fandom-related queries welcome, and anonymous questions are currently enabled, so you don't need a Tumblr account to ask.

Don't look now, but reseda is now ptahrrific =D

This change has been a long time coming. The original reseda_ptah was created to be a character journal; the OC's name was reseda, but that username was already taken. When I decided I wanted a fic journal, I revamped the existing account rather than create a whole new one. Then around came DW, where I grabbed the unmodified username reseda as quickly as possible, and only later thought, "Wait. I only wanted that name because of the character, who no longer has anything to do with the account. Oops."

The new name is a straightforward pun on "Ptah's fic" and "terrific", with a bonus piratey touch from the "ahrr". No need to change old links and bookmarks; they'll redirect automatically.

Now I just have to get used to spelling it, and all will be well XD

For anyone who's been following the fic anonymously or through openID, and wants to make an honest DW user of themselves.

My Secret Santa gift is up. And it is glorious.

Nobody wants to guess at the ones I gave? Nobody? The reveal's going to be soon, if not today, but that's still enough time for a few last-minute speculations. (Also, I will totally draw you something and/or write a custom ficlet if you guess right.)

Look at this shiny new fic journal. Oh yeah.

So here's the cool thing about DW. (Okay, one of the many, many cool things.) You don't actually need an account to participate. You can sign in with OpenID, using your account on LJ. Or Wordpress. Or Blogspot. Or any other site that's OpenID-enabled.

Once you're signed in, you can upload userpics, build a reading page (the equivalent of the LJ flist), and get access to locked posts. It's exponentially more awesome than reading/commenting with no account at all.

At this point, I've imported all my fics/mixes from LJ to DW. (Will still be fixing links for a while yet.) Future posts will be on DW, linked on LJ (and Wordpress, at erinptah_feed). If you have an OpenID account - LJ or otherwise - and plan on commenting, take a second to log in?

And if you want an actual DW account (for making posts and joining communities), but haven't gotten one yet, I still have invite codes lying around. Just say the word.
