Now that I've caught up on matters LJ, I have to say I'm not too offended by the flags - it is something present on just about any other site. And the Russian buyout might actually mean people who want to develop LJ, on top of less chances of running into the kind of over-compliance with US morals that led to Strikethrough and similar.
And lookit! imaginarybeasts has a new issue out. I broke and wrote a story for this one, an exercise in folktale.

I know I have a problem with being what I like to call high-strung. I deal with it, and I've recently encountered a trick that works for me. Technically Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way recommends these "morning pages", free-writing for as long as the words keep flowing, to clear your head in the morning, but I've found that the morning is the time I rarely need them. Instead, I write when nervousness builds, and it helps me immensely. By the time I hit 1 000 words, the problems are formulated, solved, and I feel calm. The trick is not to re-read as you write, just write until it dries up.
And if I do manage to write in the morning, I can write fiction, too - usually nice mood-vignettes that work in quiet ways. This is yesterday's: Thanatos is the Greek personification of Death I've written of before.

Vlad Draculea: historical character. Death: original character based on Maki Ichiro's interpretation of the role of Tod in Elisabeth. Sequel to this and this.
Rated R for discreet smut.

Am running like a chicken with my head cut off, so I guess I might as well post this for public consumption. This is the first in a series that I've been writing for the past month - I have 4 chapters out of 9 already finished. It's also origific or as close as makes no difference, since one character is historical and one is inspired by Maki Ichiro's performance as Death in Elisabeth (see icon).
So here's Vlad Draculea, age almost-nine, and the world that surrounds and shapes him into legend.
With thanks to fyrie as usual and alice_montrose for beta.

I don't really know who the narrator is. Agent Smith from the Matrix, perhaps, or one of Pratchett's Auditors of Reality. Rated R for description of violence, a cool one hundred words in all.

An original vignette, 186 words. This is what happens when I re-read Sandman one too many times.
