Poll #2

Hey all! This is only for the people on my f-list who read my fic "Ehrgeiz", so I've put it under a cut to save the rest of you. Another poll! Please let me know, I'm really having trouble deciding on this. Answers are viewable only to me, though I'll let people know what the majority was or whatever if they're interested.

Hey guys! This is a poll for those of you who read my fic...or like, those of you who read my Final Fantasy fic, anyway. I have been posting Deeper Understanding (the Angeal/Sephiroth/Genesis/Zack OT4) at FF.net. It's got some minor edits and one larger one in the latest chapter, but anyway. I'm going to be adding chapters in closing the gap between part IX and part X, SO, this means first time OT4 smut and things.

The deal is, I haven't formatted any of it in LJ tags, I've just done it as FF.net takes it, which means without the tags and stuff, so I'd have to go in and retag everything, and what with my tendency to get italically emphatic, that's a hefty chore. I'm willing to do it, but not terribly excited about it, SO, I'm wondering how many people would reread if I did it, OR if you guys would be cool with me just linking to the other site? I know there are some hardcore anti-fanfiction.net people among us, so I thought I'd ask to see.

This also may or may not have to do with the fact that I've had a paid account for months and haven't yet abused the poll feature and I'm indulging myself. I've got this thing for radio buttons, okay?!

Here is the playlist I use for Ehrgeiz. It's 33 songs, and this isn't in any particular order, as I always shuffle, except for the first four (which are always, always the first four I listen to) and the last one (which I always end on). These are all songs that pretty much mean the world to me or did at some point, and some are a little weird but amazing. If nothing else I have excellent taste in music. ;] I was going to upload them all individually but like. No. I'm sorry, lol. Time consuming and irritating and I do apologize for my lack of patience, but I hope you'll download the whole thing and give it a listen whether you read the fic or not. It's all damn good music. The first four in particular give me chills, but I couldn't pick a favorite out of any of these. Check out the lyrics too. I might have to type up the Ours ones for you as I don't know that they're posted anywhere, but the rest are findable.

And lastly, the song whose lyrics I found before I was able to hear it way back whenever I started this thing, comes unsurprisingly from the band Ours. This is the song that brought about this fic, and thus I give it it's own link in the hopes that you guys will, if not the others, download this one song.

link: The Worst Things Beautiful by Ours
On the day you were born
The sun filled my eyes
I fell within the wars that rise
What were you here for?
What will you find?
Could I save your life, like you saved mine?

Wait until the morning comes around
Wait for something beautiful
Wait to see if worry turns around
Wait, please wait

I tried to keep you from
Everything that was
So difficult for me
But it makes you strong
When you hurt so long
I'll put it all in faith that you won't leave

And I'll wait until the morning comes around
Wait for something beautiful
Wait to see if worry turns around
Wait, I'll wait

Looking up now you see that
Everyone seems so happy
The crooked somehow keep breathing
When you couldn't be so happy

Maybe they just don't know
Maybe we just don't know
Maybe we just don't know

So I'll wake every morning
Wake with the sun
Were the worst things always
The first things to come?
Find a way to move on and a way to be strong
Because somethings do change...
Some things come that make
The worst things beautiful

Wait until the morning comes around
Wait for something beautiful
Wait to see if worry turns around
Wait

MCR Crack fic! Or, y'know, part of one.

So I'm at work cleaning my desk up and getting caught up while no one's here (read: playing on the internet because I'm hopeless) and I've been waiting for this 900 page thing to print and while I do that I've been trying to kinda clean up my gdocs (HA!) and I found this beginning of an uber crack My Chemical Romance fic that I started and will probably not finish, but that I like parts of, so I thought I'd post it in my journal just to remember it before I delete the gdoc. The title of said gdoc is "God Fic"

In which there is Gerard/Frank, laughter, new discoveries, crack, and Frank Iero is God. Literally.

A7X Fic - Ehrgeiz Chapter VII

2008-03-23T20:50:48Z

Title: Ehrgeiz
Author: the_staci
Fandom: Avenged Sevenfold
Pairing: M. Shadows/Synyster Gates
Rating: NC-17
POV: Third
Summary: The stronger they are, the harder they fall. One, two, three, shatter.
Disclaimer: Don't know them, don't own them. None of this ever happened.
Warnings: angst; violence, gore, and non-graphic non-con
Author Notes: This is pretty much an excuse for me to torture M. Shadows and soothe my hurt/comfort obsession. It's a little cracky, a little demented, and will become steadily darker as I go. I am super excited about this fic and I hope you guys like it! Feedback and concrit are love. Thanks to the awesome subjecttosin for the beta! This chapter was really intense for me to write, so I'm nervous about it and I hope it's okay. Dark and angsty and I don't know. Everyone please, please go and download This Night by Black Lab. Lyrics.
