sharing is caring: trickster souls series by ringshadow pdf

2013-09-08T23:42:01Z

I haven't done this in a while because real life has been horrible to me lately but just to prove that I am still alive I thought I'd post something fun. The standard disclaimer applies to this: I don't have permission directly from the author as this is for my own personal enjoyment; it's not optimized for printing; cover art created by me with help from google images and deviant art with all artists properly credited. If the author stumbles upon this and would like me to take this down, please let me know!

For those unfamiliar to this particular (work-in-progress) series:

Summary: Tony Stark is a Guide and has known that most of his life, but all the money and time hasn't let him find his Sentinel. Justin Hammer is a dedicated pain in the ass and not someone Tony willingly associates with. Until a chance incident at an Expo reveals that Justin's a Sentinel, and in desperate need of help.

Pairing: Tony Stark/Justin Hammer.

Category: Sentinel Alternate Universe. (Justin's an Alpha Sentinel. Tony's his Guide.)

Sharing Is Caring: GSTDC Suits pdf

2012-12-07T01:08:41Z

Every single time I sit down to watch Suits I always wonder why I'm not watching it more. It's just an awesome show with characters I feel stupidly invested in. Even so I haven't read many fics for it (yet) and this happens to be the first one I read...and it's a coffee shop AU. I have no regrets.

This zine only contains one fic: Grand Soy Triple Dirty Chai by friskaz. It has standard formatting, is not optimized for printing, and doesn't contain any fanart beyond a few graphics I was able to find via google images. In all it's a very simply formatted zine so don't look for anything spectacular.

You can download it here or see a preview of it below the cut:

( Want some coffee, Harvey? )

If anyone has any suggestions for other fics that deserve a fanzine -- or maybe an anthology? -- feel free to nudge me in their directions. I make fanzines quite often when I have the time (I'm currently working on two at the moment) since all my fic reading is pretty much done on tablets these days thanks to my soon-to-be-ex workplace restrictions.

Sharing Is Caring: The Sterek Files Vol. 1 pdf

2012-12-04T16:36:59Z

Even though I'm incredibly late to the party (as usual) a few months ago I started to get into the Teen Wolf fandom. I didn't really have the time to sit down and wade through the fics available so I ended up picking the most popular pairing and just downloading at random. This particular "fanzine" is a result of that -- as is the folder on my desktop labeled 'The Sterek Files' as well. ;)

It consists of three different fics: Reasonable to Assume by Saucery; His Only Defense by LunaCanisLupus_22; To Have Outlived The Night by Stillane. It's not optimized for printing so it has standard formatting for easy reading on the computer or tablet. Coverart is by dauntingfire (used without permission but I'd be happy to change it if that offends) and modified by me to include text. All other illustrations were found via google/deviantart and hopefully credited properly.

You can download it here or preview it below the cut (fair warning: it's a large file so it might take a few minutes to load):

( Preview )

In the future I'll most likely disassemble this and give the bigger fics their own zines so I probably won't keep this up for long. I just thought I'd share for those out there who, like me, want to have a collection of stories at their fingertips in one convenient place.

Sharing Is Caring: Stars and Scones Bakery and Coffee Shop pdf

2012-11-30T18:41:55Z

I intended to share this much sooner but kept forgetting since I've been busy with making others like it and real life obligations. Much like almost everyone in the Dresden Files fandom I'm a big fan of luciazephyr 's writing and have been slowly but steadily creating personal fanzines for each of her finished fics.

The Stars and Scones Bakery and Coffee Shop was one of the first ones I did (before I started printing them into actual books) and is formatted for easy reading on the computer or e-reader. It is not optimized for printing so the margins are standard and there are not blank pages. Coverart is by Robinade and all other illustrations were found via google images.

You can download it here or preview it below the cut. It is in .pdf format.

( Preview of Stars and Scones PDF )
I'll likely get share more PDFs later on this evening as well as from now on. It seems a shame to just let these sit on my external hard drive when other people could enjoy them. :)

Question about TTOBB

2012-05-19T01:09:04Z

Does anyone know if Two Two One Bravo Baker by abundantlyqueer was ever finished? I was sent a .pdf of it to format into book format - which, yay! - and ended up having to go look for it on AO3 because it wasn't complete only to realize that the fic itself wasn't complete..? And that the author has disappeared..? Anyone know?

Exciting!

2012-01-13T06:05:58Z

There's some exciting things going on behind the scenes over at epic_recs/epic_recs, not the least of which is that we're finally mirroring the community of dreamwidth -- right now the DW community stands empty. The move has been long overdue -- I'll always love livejournal because its connected me with so many awesome people but with all the attacks on it and some of the style changes...well, having a back-up community seems like the smart thing to do.

In any case, I'm really hoping this will draw in more potential reccers and more potential readers. It's always more fun that way! \o/

So after much waiting and nail biting, the teaser trailer finally dropped during the Super Bowl! What did everyone think?!

For my part...

The Good:

It looked like they were actually trying on this; the scene where Steve is running through what looks like a fire fight? Hell YEAH!
I don't care what anyone says: Chris Evans looks good in that costume and actually pulls it off without me immediately cringing.
Red Skull looked fucking awesome!
It looks like it might actually pull off being a period piece without making it feel like a period piece, which I think is important.
THE SHIELD -- I don't understand the upset with so many people over the indestructible shield having what looks like damage. Even the shield will have "scorch" marks and the paint will be scratched if you're getting hit with bullets and god knows what else. It's not like there are huge dents in the thing.

The Bad:

I hate (hate hate hate) how you can tell they CGI'd Chris' head on the body double in that one scene (if you've seen it, you probably know what I'm talking about but for those who haven't: Steve (Chris) is sitting on the bed being told not to let whatever happens change him.)
They didn't cut a good trailer together -- it wasn't nearly as "EPIC" as I was expecting it to be. I mean, c'mon, at least give me a shot of a stormtropper or something.
"How do you feel?" "Taller." Ugh. Just ugh.

I Can't Get No...

2010-09-13T02:10:56Z

For a while now I've been really unsatisfied with fandom and haven't been able to figure out why -- is the slew of mediocre fan fiction I've been reading? Is it the disappearing act from some of my favorite authors? Is it the fact that I rarely get time to write?

Well after thinking long and hard about it over the last few days, I think I figured it out: I don't have a 'main' fandom anymore. I used to -- Harry Potter and I were totally BFFs -- but now I no longer have the time to devote to it. Don't get me wrong, I stay in touch. I read and comment whenever I can. I just don't have the time to set up the proverbial shop and settle in for a while.

It makes me sad to think about -- being an active part of at least one fandom has always been hugely appealing to me. I love meeting new people and having discussions, especially with people who are just as enthusiastic about something as I am. I meet some very awesome people back when I was active in Harry Potter -- you know who you are and I still love you guys! -- but now it seems like the only "contact" I have with other fans is when I'm posting something on epic_recs (which I totally love doing; being a mod and reccer there rocks!) or when I comment on something (and that rarely leads to discussion).

I really want to jump back in -- Sherlock fandom, why must you tempt me so? -- but don't feel able to do so with any real consistency. I feel like the crazy aunt of fandom: I drop in with goodies that you may or may not want, flit around for a while, and then disappear like I was never even there.

Maybe I should make buttons?

FIC: Distractions by Prentice (Iron Man; PG) Tony/Jarvis

2010-09-06T06:49:45Z

I have no why I wrote this. No, really. No idea. That said, I can't believe I don't have an Iron Man icon. That's just...not right. I need to rectify it. Soon.

Title: Distractions.
Author: Prentice
Fandom: Iron Man
Pairing: Jarvis/Tony
Disclaimer: I don't own it, but if I did, something like this would have probably happened.
Spoilers: This is set pre-Iron Man, but still has minor spoilers for the first movie.
Summary: Distracting. It's distracting, that's what it is. Very distracting. Almost too distracting.

Notes: This is an odd little story, as the majority of it takes place in weird little flashbacks that are just kind of plunked in the middle of dialogue. It might work for you, it might not. Either way, it was fun writing and I'll probably write more for these two. Also, a big thanks to ladylahatiel , whose fic was fabulous enough for me to want more Tony/Jarvis in my life.

Help Pakistan

2010-08-20T19:22:57Z

For those interested, one of my fellow mods, jane_elliot, has generously offered to host a rec-a-thon at epic_recs for the charity auction at the help_pakistan community. Bidding starts at $5 USD. The more bids, the more recs.

I'll be participating during the event with Jane, so anyone who bids will have double (if not more, depending on who else volunteers) the recs for the money. It's for an excellent cause and every little bit counts so even if you just go there to offer your own services, please take a look. :)

Old Zines

2010-08-17T16:21:11Z

I've been wondering about the appropriateness of scanning and/or transcribing my old out-of-print zines lately -- is it appropriate to do? Should I only do it if I have permission? If I can't get permission from the author for whatever reason, should I leave out their story?

I just don't know the answers to any of those. I love the idea of being able to share some of my favorite works, ones that have either disappeared from the 'net or never quite made it there in the first place. I know that if The Foresmutters Project hadn't taken the time to transcribe some of the older ST zine stories, I never would have had the pleasure of reading 'This Deadly Innocence' or 'The Prize'. I'd love to be able to do that for a couple of other stories and fandoms.

I don't want to step on any toes, though. I don't want to start transcribing or scanning and then have the author or old fans come at me with pitchforks, especially since I only plan on doing it because I want to share the stories with others. You know, so I can chatter about them with someone else and not just have to think to myself how good they are.

Cheer me up, buttercup

2010-08-09T20:08:48Z

These last few days have been extremely stressful. Between issues with the house, illness, and trying to catch up on work, I feel absolutely brain fried. The worst part is that I just came back from an impromptu vacation, which turned into a nightmare, and can't take another one for several more months. Not that I'm sure I even want to take another one with how badly the last one went -- having food poisoning while stuck in a car is horrific.

The bright spot in this is that I recently bought some fabulous fanzines. They're like-new and well worth the money I spent on them. I'll have to try to buy some more when I can. It gives me something to look forward to and add to the fanzine library I'm building up with my friends. :)

Fan Fiction: Useful Resources & Organization

2010-08-05T17:35:19Z

Useful Resources For:
...downloading, formatting, converting, and organizing your fan fiction...

Fan Fiction Downloaders:

Fan Fiction Downloader - (Windows) - One of the most widely used and popular fan fiction downloaders on the 'net. It works with several sites including fan fiction (dot) net, archive of our own, hpfandom, and many more.
DownloadStory - (Mac) - Another popular program that works with Mac OS. It works with several sites including portkey (dot) org, the wonderful world of makebelieve, and many more.
Graffer - (Windows) - A newer downloader that is gaining in popularity and usability. It works with several sites including all the silver snitch archives, fiction press (dot) com, twilighted (dot) net, and many more.
Fan Fiction Downloader On Google - (Online) - not the same as FFD above - An online app that uses your google account to download fan fiction.
Squee!Book - (Online) - An easy to use website that allows you to download stories from livejournal, dreamwidth, and more.
Scrapbook Plus - (Add-On) - Firefox - an easy to use Firefox add-on that allows you to download, save, and sort you fan fiction into folders and sub-folders. Easy to back-up and restore.
Read It Later - (App) - Multi-Use For iPod/iPhone/iPad/Firefox, etc. - an app. that is somewhat similar to the delicious bookmarking site with the exception that it archives a copy for later and allows you to read it off-line. Apparently has paid features that you can use as well.
Instapaper - (Bookmarklet; App) - A useful bookmarklet/app that allows you to bookmark sites and read them later; you can add them to your iDevice, e-reader, or use the bookmarklet to read them in text format on your computer. The downside is that if the site requires you to log-in, this app won't work. Paid features are available.

Formatting:

E-Book Formatting Tutorial - by amothea - This is one of the quickest and easiest tutorials I've found; it includes information about e-book formats, info about programs you might need, and links to other useful sites.
sigil - (Program) - E-Book Editor - A multi-platform WYSIWYG ebook editor. It is designed to edit books in ePub format.
Readability - (Script/Bookmarklet) - A simple tool that makes reading on the web more enjoyable by removing the clutter around what you're read. This is a great tool for those of you who want to clean up a web page before saving it in 'Read It Later', 'Scrapbook Plus', or on your computer to convert later.
Google Docs - (Online) - Though usually used for e-mail purposes, Google Docs is an excellent WYSIWYG document editor.

I haven't found many useful formatting tutorials that focus solely on formatting - many of them stray into areas that are either too advanced for the everyday user or concentrate more on the program that converts the file than the actual formatting of the file. I'll add more as I find them, however, and hopefully suss out which are useful and which are not.

Converting:

Calibre - (Program) - Converts and Organizes - a popular e-book converter that allows you to format your e-book, choose the file format, add table of contents, book covers, and much more. Highly recommended.
Squee!Book - (Online) - Converts - an easy to use online website that converts individual stories; allows you to add book covers and converts to limited formats.
BookCreator Tool - (Program) - Converts - converts documents (Microsoft Word 2003-2007) to LRF/MOBI/EPUB. Works with Calibre, if you want.

eBook Hood - (online) - a simple online website that allows you to convert your docs for your iPod, PDA, or Mobile Phone. Only .rtf and .txt documents accepted.
2EPUB - (Online) - Converts - mostly powered by Calibre, you can upload one file type and download it in another format. (input: doc, epub, fb2, html, lit, lrf, mobi, odt, pdb, pdf, prc, rtf, txt. -- output: epub, fb2, lit, lrf, mobi.)
eReader Software - (Program) - Converts - usable for multiple devices including a variety of smartphones, this site has various program options that allow you to convert simple files into .pdb format.
Zamzar - (Online) - Converts - an online converter that will convert to a variety of formats; works with your e-mail and the free version only allows you to convert files up to 100MBs.
Google Docs - (Online) - Converts - able to export in .pdf or .rtf, this is a great basic converter that can double as a document editor or, if you want, additional storage for your fan fiction.

Please note that many fan fiction downloaders (including some of the ones listed in the FFD section above) can double as a very basic converter. There are also many sites available via google search that allow you to convert files to specific formats for free as well as several newer word processors that allow you to choose what type of file you'd like to save your document as (i.e. .rtf, .html, etc.).

Organization:

Calibre - (Program) - E-Book Library Manager - a popular e-book library managers that allows you to edit meta information, use tags, and further organize your e-book library.
Adobe: Digital Editions - (Program) - E-Book Library Reader - an e-book library manager that allows you to annotate pages and transfer e-books from one computer/device to another.
Read It Later - (App) - Multi-Use For iPod/iPhone/iPad/Firefox, etc. - an app. that is somewhat similar to the delicious bookmarking site with the exception that it archives a copy for later and allows you to read it off-line. Apparently has paid features that you can use as well.
Zotero - (App) - Plugin for Firefox - Helps you collect, manage, cite, and share your research sources. Designed for research, this plugin should work well for e-books as it allows you to group, add notes, sort by categories, and more.

There is also the option to use your own file managing system or using the e-book library that comes with your e-reader (if you have one).

WOWIO - great site for free e-books and comics that aren't necessarily mainstream.

BAM Video Vault: FYI to Users

2010-04-23T00:20:51Z

I received this notice a few days ago and thought I'd share with those of you who might not have heard:

Ning has decided to do away with the free networks and switch all to premium. Justin and I won't be able to keep the site alive if a payment is involved, so sadly enough, BAM will be closed when Ning makes it's final switch. I hope you all can find some different video homes - and it's a shame to see this site go down in flames when we have made such an impact on the vidding community. I'm so incredibly sorry guys.

- Sequoya.

That basically means that anyone who is hosting videos over there and have them posted needs to find a new home or else they won't be viewable anymore. I have a few videos posted over there - mostly the ones that aren't allowed on youtube - so I'll be doing a few switches myself. I'm not sure where I want to host them as youtube is a killjoy and divshare isn't as user friendly as I'd like but I guess we'll see what happens.

Fan Video: Surrender (Star Trek XI) Kirk/Spock

2010-04-13T04:14:29Z

Find more videos like this on BAM Vid Vault

Title: Surrender
Vidder: Prentice
Music: Surrender by Blake Lewis
Video: Star Trek XI
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Concept: No matter what universe they are in, Spock and Kirk always find one another.
Notes: For the past few months I've had an absolute hankering for an AU story based on the idea that Reboot!Kirk gets catapulted into the future and must find his way back to his time and his Spock. Older Spock finds him and, after proving that he is Spock, helps him find his way back. Well, I haven't had time to write this but I did manage to make a video that (sort of) captures what I want. Enjoy!

New Who: Doctor Who Series 1 (Series 5; Series 31) Thoughts

2010-04-11T06:23:56Z

Despite the fact that the new series of Doctor Who hasn't yet aired in the US (next week!), I pleased as punch to say that I've seen the first two episodes (The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below) and absolutely loved every minute of them. That said I should probably backtrack a bit and talk about my initial reaction to New Who (which will further be known as NW, as I'm a lazy sod who doesn't feel like typing it out every time)...

Much like everyone else in the Who 'verse, I was saddened at David Tennant's depature as The Doctor and blown away by his exit, which was equal parts painful and fantastic. Unlike the Tennant loyalists, however, I was more than a little elated by the idea of having a brand spanking new Doctor and Companion on the way (sidenote: Donna will forever and always be my companion and I truly hope that they revisit her at some point because the Doctor Donna is an amazing thing). Ten was never really my Doctor, if you take my meaning, and though I thought RTD and David Tennant (and the Master, and Donna, and Wilf, and...) were a forced to reckoned with, I just really never connected to him in a way that said: THIS IS MY DOCTOR!

Matt Smith has cured me of that. He's brilliant and sassy and saucy and just perfect. I love his floppy hair and his bowties and his strangely positive but entirely all over the place attitude. He brings something fresh and fast and new to the Doctor that I didn't realize I was missing and Steven Moffat, you brilliant man, you know how to tell a story and weave in little details that I can already tell are building into some sort of crazy-awesome story arc. But, anyway, yeah, Matt Smith might just be MY Doctor and I can't wait to find out if I'm right. XD!

Now onto the new companion...

I really really feared that Amy Pond (I agree with 11; Amelia Pond is so much better) was going to be a Rose 2.0 and I wasn't prepared for that because Rose is Rose and no one else will ever be her (just like no one else will ever be Donna or Martha or Sarah Jane Smith or...). I also feared that she would somehow be absolutely awful in her role and...she's not. Don't get me wrong, she's not spanking but she's good and I liked (liked liked liked) her storyline with the Doctor. It was cute and sweet and didn't leave me feeling like they were trying to rip off previous companions in any way.

Now onto the show itself...

They're bringing back the Weeping Angels! Holy Fucking Balls! YES!

Now that I've gotten that out the way, I love the new design of the Tardis (and how 11 is so obviously in love with her (you sexy thing, indeed)) and I'm warming up to the new sonic screwdriver (thank you, dear). It's too early yet to say if the storylines are going to be fabulous but from what I've seen they're nicely paced, well thought out, and more lighthearted than previous series have been. They've also given us a bit of a lookie-lou into future episodes and between the Weeping Angels and River Song (I'll never not think that's a stupid name; double negatives for you!), I'm set for something special

I even enjoyed the Star Whale bit in the second episode (The Beast Below; cool story, bro) , which I know a lot of people have complained about. I do wish they'd cut down a bit on CGI, though. I mean, if there's any complaint I can make, it's that they're overdoing it with the CGI. As Eddie Izzard would say: scale it down a bit, we're British. ;)

Hmmm, what else...

Oh, yes, one last thing: GOTCHA! XD

50 Lyrics Table: SyFys Alice; Alice/Hatter

2009-12-16T18:20:37Z

Challenge: 50 Lyrics Table Masterlist
Fandom: SyFy's Alice
Pairing: Alice/Hatter; Jack/Duchess
Table:

001. I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not;
I'm far from lonely, and it's all that I've got
002. I write the lines you want me to;
with the words I dare to use 003. a place between sleep and awake;
end of innocence, unending masquerade

004. everyday is the same
when looking straight ahead;
caught in the safety of routine
005. we just can't stop believing,
because we have to try;
we can rise above, the truth and the lies 006. can't say I was never wrong,
but some blame rests on you

007. like violence you have me, forever, and after;
like violence, you kill me, forever and after 008. I’m finding my own words, my own little stage;
my own epic drama, my own scripted page 009. you got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,
know when to walk away and know when to run

010. hey, when we first met,
I thought that time had come for me to die;
but now I see, that you had come to bring in here new life
011. should I bite my tongue, until blood soaks my shirt;
we'll never fall apart, tell me why this hurts so much 012. it's been a while since I've really spent time with you,
wish I could take back the times that I had

013. I will never hold you underneath for me,
maybe only just enough so you can breathe
014. you're hiding something, 'cause it's burning through your eyes;
I try to get it out, but all I hear from you are lies 015. if you feel scared, a bit confused, I gotta say, this sounds a little
beyond anything I'm used to
016. welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day;
if you want it you're gonna bleed, but it's the price you pay 017. and most of all, I don't need your opinion;
'cause you don't know what it's like to be like me 018. you took me in and you drove me out,
yeah, you had me hypnotized;
lost and found and turned around,
by the fire in your eyes
019. and where I go,
you'll be there with me;
forever you'll be right here with me
020. and say goodbye to the last parade,
and walk away from the choice you made
021. here comes the rain again,
falling from the stars;
drenched in my pain again, becoming who we are.
022. how can you have lived this long, and not give in to rage?
don't you understand; we've both outlived our age? 023. there’s things I’ve done I can’t erase,
every night we fall from grace 024. sound the bugle now - play it just for me;
as the seasons change - remember how I used to be
025. remember all my past time, when the future is waiting for me;
I am lying on this ground, among memories 026. we are flying on wings in winter sky;
with fire burning deep inside 027. I must confess, that my loneliness is killing me now;
don't you know I still believe, that you will be here
028. through long December nights, we talk in words of rain or snow;
while you, through chattering teeth, reply and curse us as you go. 029. just give me one more moment, another walk out in the sun;
one more day to find some justice with your shadow by my side 030. there's a beast upon my shoulder and a fiend upon my back;
feel his burning breath a heaving, smoke oozing from his stack
031. you knocked me out, I can never be the same;
I pushed you over, but here we still remain 032. I lock the door and lock my head,
and dream of butterflies instead 033. your bones are sore and weak,
but your will is as strong as concrete
034. I`m in love with my lust,
burning angel wings to dust 035. another orphaned field, another broken shield;
another voice that whispers: escape, escape, escape 036. you set fire to me that night, you lit and left me burning;
out of my mind, but in my sights, I saw the tables turning
037. so wear me like a locket around your throat;
I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke 038. It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine 039. take these broken wings,
and learn to fly again, learn to live so free
040. somewhere after midnight, in my wildest fantasy;
somewhere just beyond my reach, there's someone reaching back for me 041. this is heaven to no one else but me;
and I'll defend it as long as I can be 042. the Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head;
I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
043. if you leave, I won't cry, I won't waste a single day;
but if you leave don't look back, I'll be running the other way 044. love, I get so lost, sometimes;
days pass, and this emptiness fills my heart 045. I never thought that this day would ever come;
when your words and your touch just struck me numb
046. these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do;
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you 047. it's a cold day in a cruel world, I really wished I could have saved you;
then who would save me from myself? 048. we're made out of blood and rust;
Looking for someone to trust, without a fight
049. where can I run to, where can I hide;
who will I turn to now I'm in a virgin state of mind 050. it doesn't mean much;
it doesn't mean anything at all

Fan Video: Go On (Star Trek XI)

2009-09-24T03:26:29Z

I've been playing about with the idea of making another fan video for a while, especially since I've been tagged with a few video challenges lately, and wanted to do something with 'The Show Must Go On' by Queen (love that song!). Thanks to a kind soul posting clean clips of Star Trek XI (just clips, sadly; not that it matters, I've already pre-ordered my dvd!) and a particular interesting challenge, I decided to go for it. This is the result!:

Find more videos like this on BAM Vid Vault

Title: Go On
Vidder: Prentice
Music: The Show Must Go On by Queen
Video: Star Trek XI (Opening Scene; USS Kelvin)
Concept: The show must go on, even in the face of adversity.
Notes: This video was the product of the 'no-edits' video challenge. The basic premise of the challenge was to take a scene from your favorite film/show/mini and sync it with a piece of your favorite music without editing the actual video/clip. No edits were made to the actual video footage (yay!) and it synced up rather nicely, IMHO.
