I guess it's spring. I didn't know.

This is how I've been wasting my social life lately: I fixed up my userpics a little bit. (Okay, a lot.) I still have to upload a few more, but I'm happy with the amount I have.

My mouth's still bothering me, but it's a little better than the pain I experienced yesterday. I can actually eat without wanting to burst into tears. I can drink/eat hot stuff now! (Such as a warm cup of coffee, because my dad just picked up International Delight's Hershey coffee creamer, chocolate caramel. My life is complete, omg.)

AND BECAUSE I HADN'T BEEN DOING THEM LATELY: I haven't forgotten about fanmix requests from a long time ago! I, uh, did something drastic and deleted my entire music library. Which wasn't a particularly wise choice. So, there's the story and I'm sorry for being so lame. D:

Now that I've gotten the random notes out of the way, have a meme because I'm bored. I stole this from beyondheroism__.

Name a fandom. I will provide one thing that I actively seek in fanfiction, and one thing that I can't stand to see.

Your userpics are so pretty. Spring cleaning is contagious I guess. ^_^

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

Seeing other people clean their icons is contagious! I tried to do something similar with what you did with your icons, but I'm ridiculously picky with keywords.

I have too many icons. I collect them. xD; (They're all credited though, so it's okay.)

[escalove.livejournal.com]

I don't really collect them as I go, but I remember them as I seem them. The only thing is I have to get used to the new keywording, I am going to have to remember what is in what.

Fullmetal Alchemist!

Also glad that your mouth is getting better!

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

Actually, I don't read Full Metal Alchemist fanfiction. It's one of the few fandoms where I don't seek out fanworks other than fanart. :D; Give me another fandom?

Ack! And thanks. I'm feeling a bit better off than yesterday.

[daisy-the-mage1.livejournal.com]

All right then! XD Kingdom Hearts.

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

Seek: Stories that focus on how the Final Fantasy characters lost their worlds/came to Traverse Town. The trio being BFFs or a romantic OT3. Gen fic. Fanon ships which don't usually get much attention. Leon/Yuffie because I'm sort of interested in their relationship.

Avoid: Organization XIII fic because they're boring. (Like, I'll read Axel/Roxas fic, but that's it.) The author specifically makes Kairi unnecessarily bitchy/dumb/unimportant just so Riku and Sora can get together.

I love your billions of icons and am incredibly jealous. You have Swan Princess icons! And Batman/Catwoman!

(ps it was you who I discussed Odette/Derek's Best Friend right? I STILL THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA.)

FOR THE MEME: Hey Arnold!

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

I <3 them, too. I don't know if I'll be able to keep them for long. They expire in a few days. D: *Hugs the icons. Never gonna give them up, or let them down, or turn around and hurt them.* And Batman/Catwoman is awesome! It was my first Batman ship.

(Yes, it was! I still approve of that! Because I like quirky, awkward guys working the awkwardness to their advantage, winning the day and getting the beautiful princess because he sees the beauty within. And she finally has enough of dumb, superficial guys. I LIKE DEREK, BUT IT'S SO TRUE.)

FUCK YEAH, HEY ARNOLD. I've been reading fic here and there lately, but I keep losing track of them so I'll answer the best I can.

Seek: Stories when everyone's older and they're not in school anymore. Arnold/Helga where everything's complicated when they're older. Curly/Eugene BECAUSE I'VE BEEN CONVERTED. Harold/Rhonda, but that's because there's a serious lack of fic for them. Um. I DON'T KNOW. I'm open to pretty much anything as long as it doesn't offend me/bore me.

Avoid: Ships I don't ship, such as Arnold/Phoebe and Curly/Rhonda. (Although I'm a little more lenient with Curly/Rhonda if Curly stops being a creepy douche when they're older.) High school fics. Stories that turn Helga into a weakling without making some sort of sense. ARNOLD DIES stories.

Your icons are so pretty. <333 I had fun looking at them! Sometimes, I think I'd like to delete all my icons and start over too, just because I like coming up with new keywords and such, but haha, I'd probably just upload 90% of the ones I already have up. XD;;

Oh gosh, why did you delete your music library? D: D: D: D: I mean, you must have had your reasons, but the thought of doing something like that makes me twitch. *CLINGS TO MUSIC*

I'm not sure if you actively seek out much fanfiction for it, but --- Princess Tutu? :D

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

Haha, honestly, that's what I did, but I uploaded a lot of icons I've used in the past and they needed to be used once again. And YES. Keywords are the fun part of uploading new icons. I'm still undecided on a few of them, but overall these new keywords are good to go.

I had this fleeting moment of worry because a lot of my music was, ah, not paid for. I mean, I know it's very unlikely that anyone important's ever going to find out, but the countries around the world are trying to pass this bill where the cops can search your information/computer or ban your IP Address, without getting the court's permission, if you're just accused of it. I panicked. I do have music, but it's with CDs and the music I did purchase. (I uh. I miss my music, though. Like, a lot. It hurts to look through my library.)

D: I only read one Princess Tutu fanfiction! Basically all I seek out are Mytho/Rue stories, because for some reason the fandom barely has any, or at least any that've pleased me. And I avoid any stories that turn Ahiru back into a human, because it defeats the purpose of the anime finale and how she saved everyone in her true form. That's basically it. XD;

OH. Another thing I avoid with Princess Tutu fanfiction is m/m or f/f. Not because I don't like it, because I genuinely don't have a problem with it, but I have little to no desire to look for slash in this fandom.
