Guys, dreamwidth has defeated me.  I'm stil around, check in on peep's posts periodically, but whenever I decide to do a catch up post - which tend to cover several topics and there therefore long and require a cut, I just cannot make the cut work - even by copying and pasting the code for the last cut that DID work.  I just dunno what setting I've got on it (presumably I've figured it out previously) but I mess around and I mess around. Last night the cross post to LJ didn't cut either, but when I reposted it first into LJ it did work, but then when I copied and pasted it back to DW it didn't.  GAH.

I'll try to post short, one topic ones, I guess.  ha, like this.

I hope I gave you plenty of ideas to play with and inspire you. I've tried to give you lots of scope, but if you find you can't work with them, or if you have another brilliant idea that excites you to write, then don't feel locked in to my prompts. I really believe the most important thing about these fic exchanges is writing a story that you're enthusiastic about and have fun writing.

Just briefly with the likes/dislikes - I love character driven stories that focus on relationships (either ships or devoted friendships), add as much or as little plot as you like. Please, please, NO character death, rape, partner betrayal etc. I don't mind angst, as long as there's a happy ending. I am all about THE HAPPY.

Only a few hours left to bid in the Fandom Trumps Hate auction! None of my super rare fandoms I'm desperate for fic in were listed (sadness) but then I remembered I didn't bother finishing my Being Human treat for Chocolate Box because I couldn't find a beta and I have bid on three beta readers instead, yay!

It's on now! A week of browsing before bidding. Lots of fandoms and writers. I've signed up. So if you'd like a fic from me now's the time :) You can only offer three fandoms so I've listed old faves Lewis, Whitechapel and Sense8, but if you'd like something in another fandom I've written in before feel free to check with me to see if I can do it. Full tag set here

So I loved Being Human UK season 1. And then the US version started the next year, and it was the same plot line, so I didn't bother, and just kept watching Mitchell and George and Annie, but then season 2 got dark, and then season 3 was just dark, dark and more dark and ended horrifically. But then season 4 and 5 had new characters that I adored, Hal and Tom and Alex, yay!!

(This post inspired by my Choc Box recipient having my OT3 as one of their other prompts so I was inspired to watch S4-5 again on the off chance I got inspired to write a Treat. But then I made the mistake of giving into to the urge to read a few of the handful of fics for them and found this awesome, perfect fixit ending for them and now i am feeling all replete, so idk.)

Summary: One moment they were human and then the moment passed.

And 7 minutes of Hal being adorable and also dorky here

So now I'm into season 2 of the US version and can't decide if it's queer coding or queer baiting, like, in S1 when they house hunt and the landlord thinks they're a couple and Aidan just goes with it I was okay they did that in the English version, but now Henry's progeny (a pretty young soldier he picked up during a WW) has turned up and they're physically familiar (Henry is very pretty and hearteyes Aidan madly in the flashbacks) and meanwhile Aidan talks to Bishop about how Bishop chased him for years with a butterfly net and now we've had a scene with Aidan in a blood drinking orgy with two girls and a dude (I say 'orgy', Aidan was wearing pants, but the others were all in sexy black underwear) but with only a couple of quick flashes of him with his arm around the dude sucking on the back of his neck and then the dude's dead or unconscious and the two girls are all over him. And now his maker Bishop (in Aidan's hallucination) is referring to Josh as Aidan's wife.

And I'm only half way through season 2. Pretty sure it's diverged enough from the original that I don't have to worry about them doing to Josh and Aidan and Nora what they did to George and Mitchell and Nina.

Also, honourable mention to baby!vampire Henry being played by the same actor who played 700 year old vampire Henry in Blood Ties several years earlier. I OT3'd Henry/Vicky/Mike, of course :)

Thank you for writing for me, I hope you have fun. If detailed letters stress you out and/or you already know what you want to write, feel free to not even read below. Truly :)

Just found this adorable 2010 Swedish film about two senior politicians from rival parties who fall in love. It has romance, misunderstandings, angst and, of course, a happy ending, I've watched it three times in under 24 hours (because I'm on holidays and CAN)

For Australians it's on SBS on Demand for the rest of the year, yay!

One and only fic on AO3 - Let's Tell the Press by nineveh_uk. Thankfully, it's awesome and funny.

Yeah, I'll be requesting this for Yuletide :)

Apparently when I sign up to a challenge with many fandoms offered I end up writing fic in three of my top five favourite shows. Go figure.

The Newcomers (Hannibal, 3.2k, Hannibal/Will, E, Graphic) Will and Hannibal make a new life for themselves in an obscure village.

Too Everything (Whitechapel, Chandler/Kent, 1.6k, M) Chandler runs into Kent at a gay bar

In the trailer (Sense8, Lito/Hernando, 1.6k, E) Hernando visits Lito at work


I saw on a Discard chat that some people like reading about people's writing processes so I figured I'd give it ago. Mostly I just throw things at a page and see what sticks.

Hello, thank you for writing for me, and I hope you have lots of fun.
