It's a pleasure to meet all of you!<br /><br />Work persists in getting my new journal into tip-top shape. I'm hunting down icons, communities, testing various styles, and searching for a suitable mood theme. It's a little tedious, yet oddly very exciting at the same time. <br /><br />I joined <span class='ljuser ljuser-name_open_on_sunday' lj:user='open_on_sunday' style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://community.livejournal.com/open_on_sunday/profile'><img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif' alt='[info]' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://community.livejournal.com/open_on_sunday/'><b>open_on_sunday</b></a></span>, and, time permitting, may try my hand at this week's challenge tomorrow.<br /><br />A few fics that I have (tentatively) planned... a time-travel for one or more of the female characters to meet sweet, nebbishy pre-vampire William (done before, but I'd like to have a go myself); a Xander/Tara friendship (possibly becoming more) story (I am peculiar in my love for that odd pairing, I admit); a Spike/Tara friendship/romance fic; and an AU or two that are still coming together in my thoughts.<br /><br />In the meantime, I hope all of you are doing well. I look forward to continuing to meet more of you! http://java-maiden.livejournal.com/688.html thanks update fanfiction content public 0 http://java-maiden.livejournal.com/343.html Sun, 11 Sep 2005 05:10:28 GMT http://java-maiden.livejournal.com/343.html Hello to anyone out there looking in!<br /><br />I'm working on my user info - I hope this will suffice until that goes up.<br /><br />My name is Juliet O'Neill, aka "java_maiden". I'm new to Live Journal as a member, but have often read in communities. I created an account primarily to be able to participate in Katrina Aid, but plan to keep it active for fanfiction purposes. <br /><br />Preferred fandoms: Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Labyrinth, Beauty and the Beast (TV show - Vincent/Catherine), and although I'm not really active in these any longer, Highlander and Doctor Who. I like gen, het, unusual pairings, humor, fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, AU/AR, and romance. I love a good, plotty story with lots of twists and turns, as well as one with great emotion and characterization.<br /><br />I am a lecturer in creative writing on an as-needed basis and a customer service manager for a bookstore (have to pay the bills!). I'm also studying midwifery and practical application of hypnotism in pain control techniques. I may not do anything with that knowledge career-wise, but it's always fascinated me.<br /><br />I have a deep and passionate love for music of almost every kind, but a special fondness for folk, Celtic, and "new age" (geez, such a misnomer...)<br /><br />I enjoy writing drabbles, ficlets, and chaptered stories or conjoined series of stories.<br /><br />I believe that's all for now. Thanks for stopping by - it's a pleasure to meet you! http://java-maiden.livejournal.com/343.html introduction calm public 14
