is this a bandwagon i see before me?

{Take the 100 Things challenge!}

Yup, so I'm doing this.

My first thought was that I wouldn't be able to think of 100 anythings. However! I am going to be doing 100 fics that blew my mind. No theme or whatever beyond 'holy shit, I love that!'. Some will be old favourites from HP, things I've loved in Merlin, some will be new things as and when I read.

Basically, I am a bit of a shitty commenter when it comes to fic, and sometimes I feel like I get so caught up in writing that I neglect the reading side of fandom. I adore and want to celebrate the skills on show in fic writing

fyi: these posts will be unlocked

Happy sunday, you gorgeous people. ♥

someone woke up on the right side of the bed this morning! Sounds FABULOUS can't wait to see what you love!

[myworldmytrue.livejournal.com]

Eeep, I keep seeing this on my flist, and am kind of tempted by it, but I don't know if I could come up with anything that I could actually write 100 posts about. But your 100 fics sounds very exciting! HP fiiiiic!!! \o/

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

I am still dithering about doing this. I do quite want to ... maybe I should just say I am and get on with it! :D

[slightlytookish]

I've been debating whether I should sign up all week but now I'm thinking I should just go for it :D

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

I am feeling very chirpy today, yes :D Thanks, hon! I just posted the first one, and am putting together a list of some old (and not so old) favourites now for future posts.

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

Ahah yeah, I finally caved after seeing LOADS of posts about it. Just write about things that make you happy! Or your favourite words! That was one I considered for a while. :D

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

Do eeeeet :D You read LOADS, so you could do books you have read, or poems, or just the vague "things you love" angle. I just want to nose into what makes my flist tick, really ;)

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

Yay, do it! I'm excited to start reading everyone's posts.

[myworldmytrue.livejournal.com]

Oooh, favourite words would be fun! I'm just not sure I'd have enough to say about anything. I'm not a writer really, and WORDS ARE HARD. Not sure if writing in Finnish would be easier, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of the whole thing, since only two people on my flist speak it. But I am tempted. DAMN IT. :D

[ekaterin24.livejournal.com]

Great choice of 100 things!

[kajmere.livejournal.com]

this is such a cool idea!
I would love to do it too, I haven't a clue what I would dedicate 100 posts too yet though, Might have to think on that one for a bit.

I love your fic idea though, guaranteed I've read well over a hundred that I could squeel about :D
Looking forward to all the recs!

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Putting together the list is proving to be loads of fun! I hope people find some gems they haven't read :)

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

It's all over my flist and I'm really looking forward to getting to know people a little better through it. A lot of people are doing variations on a theme of 100 things that make them happy, which is going to be great!

Yeah, I thought the same about doing fics. I've loved so many over the years :'D Putting together the list is fun already :D

[junkshop-disco.livejournal.com]

You always say 'I'm not a writer' but you're one of the most interesting and eloquent people on my flist. DO THE MEME ♥.

[junkshop-disco.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to see your entries :D.

[myworldmytrue.livejournal.com]

Oh, the things you say...♥ I've been trying to think of a snappy 100 Things title that would fall under a specific theme but still leave me enough wiggle room so that I could come up with things to talk about. I dunno, maybe I'm overthinking the whole thing, lol.

[junkshop-disco.livejournal.com]

♥

You're overthinking. You could totally watch 100 Obscure Movies and make that interesting, or talk about 100 records/bands/people you were obsessed with at some point in your life, and it would be AMAZING to read.

edit for wine typos. Oy

[myworldmytrue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was thinking about a general 100 Films thing (which could cover different things, like favourite/terrible/guilty pleasure/etc films), or something like 100 Beautiful People (although that one would probably be more pictures than words, though it wouldn't necessarily have to be just about physical beauty). Or maybe something more general that wouldn't tie me to just one topic.

Damn it, why didn't I buy wine on Saturday? I'm totally craving it now.

[alice-pike.livejournal.com]

Just starting seeing this all over the flist, and I think it's such a great idea. Still deciding whether or not to do it myself, but I must say, I will definitely be looking forwards to yours--there can always be more fic recs in my life.

[junkshop-disco.livejournal.com]

You could make it 100 Films and People Who Starred In Them to cover most bases?

So hungover this morning. Just took me 50 minutes to write 130 words.

[myworldmytrue.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, I could! Then again, I always talk about films and pretty people, so it might be a good challenge to try something different. Or not, lol.

*pets your head very carefully*

[junkshop-disco.livejournal.com]

You could always pick something from here?

100 Places I Put A Stolen Traffic Cone

Damn! A friend of mine had a traffic cone she'd stolen when coming home drunk from a bar one night. Don't think she has it anymore though. :D

Heeh, will have to look through that list, see if anything inspires me.

But can I still be a little bit proud that you're hungover on a Monday morning? It's very Gwaine of you.

[junkshop-disco.livejournal.com]

The only time I ever tried to steal a traffic cone, it was so much heavier than I expected (I think it had a sandbag in the bottom, but at the time that was too much thinking for my brain to process). I dragged it about 10 yards and then had to abandon it, so I didn't so much steal a traffic cone as... slightly relocate one. Rebel, rebel.

It is. Although I fear his hair would be better in the same situation. Mine's a little bit bird's nest. Let's not even talk about the rings of yesterday's eyeliner

[myworldmytrue.livejournal.com]

:D I think the one she stole didn't have a sandbag, so it wasn't particularly heavy. It was later used as a hat at parties, among other things.

We once stole one of those big trolleys from a loading dock of an old people's home (it was Midsummer and we were extremely drunk) and rode it down some hills and eventually abandoned it in a ditch (after much giggling and trying to push the thing uphill to hide it behind some bushes). Ah, good times.

Yes, but unlike some, we don't get to wash our hair in unicorn tears.

[junkshop-disco.livejournal.com]

I have stollen a shopping trolley and surfed in it while under the influence. My friend fell out backwards and cracked his head open on the pavement. He's a teacher, so while we were sitting in the hospital waiting for him to get stitches, through the concussion he was like, 'I need a story for how this happened. Should I say I was mugged?!'

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

Putting the list together is a lot of fun so far!

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

I'm really excited to see everybody's entries, there are so many interesting topics people have chose. I hope I manage to rec something you enjoy :D

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

100 REC POSTS I AM EXCITED. :D

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

\o/

I solemnly swear there will be Merlin recs in there at some point *facepalm*

[ellecc.livejournal.com]

I followed Boo here and I love random fic recs :) This 100 Things thing is awesome.

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

Hiiii. I hope you find something you like :)
