So damn tired. SO DAMN TIRED.
I didn't sleep a wink on the flight, although I 'rested my eyes' for about 30 mins as we flew over the northern part of NSW.
Unpacked, dumped everything into piles, went and had a three hour nap. And now I'm on the verge of falling asleep where I sit. I'll wake up with keyboard imprint on my cheek or something.
Have antibiotics for the cold, have cold&flu medicine. Have fast internet again. (*hugs fast internet*)
Need sleep. Just going to rectify that now. Although it's only 7:30pm and still light outside.
HK travelogue (there's not that much of it) will be posted tomorrow. If I wake up.

Left home at 6:30am, got home 9pm.
Suzhou is a city about 100km west of Shanghai; it used to be bigger than Shanghai, back before the colonial powers started taking an interest in China, being situated on the river, with major luxury industries in silk and pearls. Now, it's more of a tourist town - temples and gardens and suchlike.
But such pretty temples and gardens and suchlike!
This is the part of the trip where I really got into taking photos. But I'll keep the travelogue brief so as not to bore the pants off y'all.
( in which I take a lot of photos and climb ALL THE STEPS, and the stepbro gets married...again! )
But, yeah, that was Suzhou. Nice day trip; I'm glad it wasn't more than one day, because it was gruelling.

This is the short-and-highlight-y version of the trip to Shanghai - not including the last day's tour we took out of town. It's brought to you by sick-induced insomnia, in an attempt to keep myself from hacking my lungs out.
You know it's probably not good when you've coughed yourself raw...
Anyway! Starting with our arrival in Shanghai - flight in, trip aboard the Shanghai Maglev, and then waiting for my stepbrother and his new wife to meet us at the station. (They were late. They usually are.)
( and so I started browsing around )
So that's the very-quick phototour of Shanghai and the bits I thought interesting/unusual/funny enough to capture for posterity. Mostly with my phone, hence the dodgy state of the photography. I have a lot more photos of our tour of Suzhou, but I'll winnow through those so you're not subjected to a Travelogue Of Doom for the one day where we went full-bore Tourist!

I'm trying to get my files from my phone to my computer. It's proving nearly impossible...
Dear Bluetooth, why won't you love me?
Dear Bluetooth, why won't you love me?
Okay, so...it all has to start somewhere. And after watching HP: Deathly Hallows 2, I got sucked into writing Harry Potter 'Next Generation' fic, to the point where I now have an entire universe planned out around Albus, Rose, Scorpius, and the other Next Generation characters. (And the older characters aren't missing out, either. Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Draco and co. are all developing 'futures' and it's more than a little scary...)
How much of it gets written depends on whether the bug bites me hard enough to stick.
TITLE: The Pointy End Of The Stick
SUMMARY: Rose Weasley has a boyfriend. Albus and Scorpius are giving him 'the talk'. They're having rather more fun than Albus expected.
CATEGORY: Humour, NextGen, At Hogwarts, Awesome Foursome
RATING: G
NOTES: This isn't quite the first story in the Awesome Foursome chronology, but I'm kind of stuck between whether I should write "Rose Weasley and the Hogwarts Malevolence" or "Love Story".
TITLE: With Benefits
SUMMARY: Scorpius has always exceeded expectations in insufferability...and in being very good.
CATEGORY: Romance, Rose/Scorpius, Albus/OFC, NextGen, Post-Hogwarts
RATING: NC-17
NOTES: This prompt inspired a much longer Scorpius/Rose fic that I couldn't finish before the deadline. However, this section of the story stands alone and is complete.
In other news, I've finished reading the Percy Jackson series (first series) and am contemplating ficlets. Just small bits and pieces, mind.

I think I may be quite officially sick. I spent far too much of last night coughing, tossing and turning, first too hot, then too cold...
I seem to do this a lot when I travel. :(

I'll be glad when we hit HK and I'm no longer staying with the parentals.
High Tea in the Shanghai Peace Hotel, built in 1926, closed in 1952, renamed and reopened in 1956, refurbished per 1926 in 2007.
Really awesome high tea.
Very nice dinner.
Mostly, this is what I want to do when I reach HK: just take some time out, not have to walk everywhere, relax, chillax, and get some decent sleep.
Tomorrow, Suzhou.
(Note: Presently in HK with Dad, so internet access to places like Twitter and Facebook is back - huzzah! Have cold - boo! Have been reading Percy Jackson series - am on book 5. How many of these are there anyway? Does he ever plan to stop?)

( saturday and sunday - lots of rest and retracing )
Today is the fancy shopping districts - an upmarket-looking shopping centre in our area that we didn't discover until yesterday, and the Bund. High tea at the Fairmont Peace Hotel (great architecture) and dinner with stepbro, SIL, and her mum, aunt, sister, and bestie (parental dinner for them, compared with Friday which was SIL's family's dinner for mum and Uncle V).
And then tomorrow we're doing a tour to Suzhou. Something about...water canals and towns and old-style buildings? *is a little vague on this point*

Today we met the stepbro and sis-in-law for lunch, and her mother, aunt, sister, and bestie for dinner, did a lot of walking, a lot of shopping, and generally came home exhausted.
Mum wanted to get a nice top/jacket made for the wedding dinner on Sunday night (why we're here in Shanghai in the first place), and so we went to the silk markets out near Xiananmen metro - and by 'near' I mean 'at least 1km walk away'. By the time we walked there, traipsed through three floors and walked back, my feet were killing me.
Last time we were in China, I was wearing a different pair of shoes - sneaker-type things that were reasonably comfy. While we were in Europe, the walking wasn't so energetic - most of the tour group were 60+ and their idea of 'energetic walking' was not my idea of 'energetic walking'.
This time, though, the shoes I'm wearing combined with 4-7 hour days on the feet are beginning to hurt. And today, after walking to the Silk Market, through three floors of the Silk Market, back to the metro, to the place where we were having lunch (Dapuxiao metro station), up and through the better part of five floors of what's going to be a seven-story shopping complex when it's finished and everything is open, back through a cute little maze of shops out the back of Taikang Rd (highly recommended if you're ever in Shanghai), then around and about West Nanjing Rd (we were at East Nanjing Rd last night) trying to find the SIL's favourite hotpot restaurant...
My feet were really sore. As in, crazy sore.
So sore we nearly took a taxi home. But instead we just caught the metro back to our station, and walked the few blocks home. But tomorrow is going to be a 'quiet' day.
I didn't buy any fabric! Mostly because I wanted to work out my gameplan for purchasing fabric - how much, what kinds, what I was going to make of it. But we're coming back on Sunday to pick up mum's top and there shall be purchasing. :)

So much walking!
We started with some tech purchases and a quick recon of the area - mum bought a iPhone case with some serious bling (a jewelled peacock) for a friend, and I bought some fairly cheap tech - a USB hub and a USB drive.

So, I'm alive! And apparently can post to LJ/DW from the connection in the hotel - bring it on!
Unfortunately no photos just yet since I don't have wifi access on my phone so I can't send the pics. Result: a wordy travelogue without pics.

sheppard_hc Christmas exchange! I'm so sorry this is late - it was done by Sunday night, but then my first two betas fell through, so I had to go hunting up a third option! I hope you enjoy the fic!

I've been cleaning up around the house before I head off to China for the stepbrothers.
And it occurred to me while moppping that floor that I do the housework because I know if I don't do it, B1 will; and B2 doesn't do the housework, because she knows if she doesn't, B1 will...
Things I'd like to do with the house this year:
1. paint my room/wardrobe
2. move my desk into the study
3. clean up and organise the study
4. get the kitchen redone
5. get the garage sorted/unpacked

I had in mind the goal of making 12 quilt tops in 2012, and I succeeded!
( quiltspam below )
In addition to the 12 quilt tops, I did costuming, made cushion-covers, and began sewing bags for gifts. The 'Victorian Steampunk dress' is still to be completed - I haven't put the sleeves on the coat just yet because I was looking for cuff lace (and finally found some). I also think I'd kind of like to do some hand-embroidery along the collar and the pocket flaps, but that's for 2012, I think!
Now I just have to find somewhere to wear it!
2012
In 2012, I'd like to:
- make another 12 quilt tops,
- sell at least three,
- make at least one quilt from go to whoa - top, basting, quilting, binding and all!
I still have quilting projects in the works from 2011:
a) Half-Square Harvest
b) Charmed Prints
c) Quilt Blogger's Uber-fest
And amidst all this, I hope to get a regular job, and actually finish one of my many unfinished original stories!
I may not be getting much sleep in 2012.
Writing sheppard_hc. Finishing stepbrother's wedding quilt today. Wedding is tomorrow, and we're going to China on Wednesday for the Chinese celebration (SIL-to-be is from China and not all her family/friends could make it).
I just hope it goes off without too much ickiness. (There's already ickiness thanks to stepbro's mum and bad blood and control freakism and...let's just say it's bad and leave it at that.)
Watched Thor last night, then went on to watch Star Trek (2009) for a bit, then back to Thor again to get the bits I missed the first time. But I still have the music from Trek 2009 in my head. Whoever wrote that music can bloody well write music, let me tell you. 'Earworm' ain't the least of it.
Anyway, after watching Thor, now I have bunnies entirely inappropriate tosheppard_hc. *grimace*
But at least the Avengers movie trailer now makes sense!
While hunting around the Tube Of You, I was very disappointed to find what looked like an awesome trailer for a Cyclops movie...only to realise it was made by a fan. *sigh* I know I'm kind of the only Cyclops fan in the universe (pre-2001 Cyclops, that is...I haven't read the storylines since then) but it would have been nice to see him portrayed as the leader-character he is in a movie about his origins. And the trailer looks like it was made by a Cyke-fan.
Yet another instance of me backing "the wrong horse" according to the dictates of fandom. I have a knack for picking them.
And, finally,jo_graham is asking for your thoughts on 'Allegiance' and specifically the situation as it stands in Sateda. If you've read the book, go forth and communicate!
Now, please excuse me, I have to write Sheppard and co. in the dark, on the run, and with John injured and in pain.

For thesga_santa 2011, I got assigned ![[profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
starry_haze! And she got this:
TITLE: Widow's Pique
SUMMARY: Among the Blood, Black Widows are witches who are feared and distrusted for the skill with which they can weave tangled webs to see visions of the future - or entrap the mind. But when Teyla Emmagan of Athos village is called to the court of the Queen of Atlantis Territory, she is less concerned about being misunderstood, and more worried to step awry in the complex politics of the Atlantis court.
Then, too, there is the distracting presence of John Sheppard, a Warlord Prince whose interest in her is something Teyla cannot fathom. Does he distrust her motives? Is he merely protecting his Queen? Or is his interest something else - something that Teyla must learn to accept in order to best serve her Queen, her Territory, and her own heart?
RATING: R
WARNINGS: (highlight to see) rape in a character's history
CHARACTERS: Teyla, John, Elizabeth, Carson, Sumner, Rodney, Bates, assorted original characters
PAIRING: John/Teyla
NOTES: This is the first part of the prequel to 'To Serve A Queen', and has been added to a little bit at a time for the last five years. I didn't thinkstarry_haze would mind too much if I completed it as her SGA Santa fic - it fit most of her requirements, the concerning one being "close-to-canon AUs". I made several other attempts at ficness - the original plan was to write EPIC LONGFIC "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" for her, but that fizzled thanks to writing angst, and then my attempt to write the 'Dave Sheppard has to deal with John/Teyla' fic "My Brother's Keeper" went bye-byes so this was it.
There was a second part to 'Widow's Pique' planned - one which features Elizabeth's court in its full glory and deals with Michael, Kanaan, and John/Teyla. I started with a basic romance plot and then about 18 months ago, reshuffled the plot to be EPIC. *coughs* I don't think it will ever be written, though.

So, 2011 is the year I kind of slacked off in fandom.
I watched Fringe, Sanctuary, H50, Rizzoli and Isles, Lost Girl, Castle, and Dr. Who, and only really added Sanctuary to the writing list.
SGA continued to dominate the scene, although Sanctuary made a good showing for the first half of the year, before fizzling out due to a lack of Kate and/or Kate/Will. I started writing Harry Potter Next Gen fic (about the children), joined in with a fanfic exchange for The Losers, eked out a couple of Merlin fics, and an NCIS (I kind of stopped watching the show), wrote one H50 fic about the girls (not well-received in a fandom that's all about the Steve/Danny slash), and there was, of course, Yuletide (last year and this), with Young Wizards, Jason Bourne, Emily of New Moon, and the Disney Princesses.

I started writing Harry Potter Next Gen fic (about the children), joined in with a fanfic exchange for The Losers, eked out a couple of Merlin fics, and an NCIS (I kind of stopped watching the show), wrote one H50 fic about the girls (not well-received in a fandom that's all about the Steve/Danny slash), and there was, of course, Yuletide (last year and this), with Young Wizards, Jason Bourne, Emily of New Moon, and the Disney Princesses.

So: I wrote one assignment, one pinch-hit, and two treats:
My assignment for
sallyislikeFANDOM: Emily of New Moon
TITLE: Heart's Desire
SUMMARY: Years after she jilted him at the altar, Ilse Burnley has to deal with Teddy Kent - now husband of her best friend.
CHARACTERS: Ilse Burnley, Perry Miller, Emily Byrd Starr, Teddy Kent
TAGS: Friendship, Post-Series, Love, Misses Clause Challenge
NOTES: Me being me, I left this until the last week, then tore my hair out trying to get it done. But I rather liked the result - Ilse and Perry are rather cute in their 20s-ish swinger-y way, and I liked the conversation and ramble that Ilse and Emily go on. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this story.
My pinch-hit for
kawreeFANDOM: Tangled (2010)
TITLE: My Kingdom For A Kiss
SUMMARY: A month after Rapunzel is returned to her family, she's still adjusting to palace life - and so is Eugene.
CHARACTERS: Rapunzel, Eugene.
TAGS: Post-Movie, Character Study, relationship, Friendship/Love
NOTES: I think the thing about this story is that I feel I didn't quite have the skill to pull it off. But it was well-received, which is the important thing. I wanted to write a longer, action/adventure-ish story about Rapunzel and Eugene getting into scrapes in the palace, and maybe I still will, but I think I may have to buy the movie and watch a lot of the 2nd half to get a feel for the city and the kinds of things that could happen.
My treat for
sallyislike:FANDOM: Emily of New Moon
TITLE: Choice Of Victory
SUMMARY: When Ilse goes into a fight, she knows to choose her victories.
CHARACTERS: Ilse Burnley, Teddy Kent
TAGS: Drama, anger, resolution, friendship.
NOTES: This was a 'missing scene' I kind of wrote for the middle of my assignment fic, but it didn't quite fit the mood of the other one. I'm not sure it's as finished as I'd like, but I didn't want to just throw it out, so I put it down as a treat.
My treat for
deenseyFANDOM: Disney Princesses
TITLE: A Day In The Life Of
SUMMARY: It’s all in what you’re used to. Satyrs and fauns and naiads and dryads she can - and has - dealt with. Gods, heroes, and monsters? Sure, fine. Mice wearing caps and scarves and t-shirts who squeak at her when she doesn’t put the file in the right spot? What kind of detective agency is this anyway?
CHARACTERS: Megara, Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, Tiana, Naveen.
TAGS: Action/Adventure, AU - Detectives, Women Being Awesome, Misses Clause Challenge, Bedchel - and then some!, Anthropomorphic Characterisation, Bedchel Test Pass
NOTES: My most popular fic and rather fun to write. Tiana and Naveen just kind of turned up at the end, and then the ending wrote itself! I'd love to write more in the Disney Princess Detective Agency universe, I just don't know where to start!
