FanFic Ask Game
Apr. 1st, 2019 06:15 amOh, hey one of these things where I can probably answer the questions.
( FanFic Ask Game )
My Chocolate Box fics
Feb. 21st, 2018 10:30 pmApparently 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.
( My writing process for them, such as it is )

Fandomy stuff
Feb. 15th, 2018 07:59 pmMissed last Friday night’s check in – was watching Black Sails. Kid was out Friday and Saturday nights, so we got a bunch of eps in. Snuck in another couple when she was safely out of the way the last few days (showering etc), then pushed our luck too far last night. Her boyfriend was over (V Day) and they were hanging out in the next room with the doors shut, so I started a new ep, which promptly opened with a naked threesome going at it, and even as I was reaching for the remote to turn off the dvd (with the dodgy battery), Bunny burst into the room. I sort of yelped and hit the TV’s power off button. I know, I know, there are worse things on heaven and earth. *cough* Yes I let her watch Hannibal. *sigh*
( I've only seen up to 2.03, low-spoilery rambling about why I started (and kept on) watching Black Sails )
On writing – I wrestled my Chocolate Box fic into submission and also wrote a couple of treats that I had fun with. Also wrote a longer fic for another small fandom exchange, and both of those have opened, yay.
For Chocolate Box I got TWO awesome Hogan’s Heroes fics, yay!!!
I have signed up for hetswap, but it’s only a small exchange, maybe 35 people, and while I love watching het pairings on TV, I rarely carry that investment over into reading/writing fic. So I only requested and volunteered to write in the same four fandoms... only to have no one share my enthusiasm. I got an email from the mods asking me to nominate another fandom I’d be willing to write in or they’d have to delete my sign up and I wasn’t going to bother since even if I match, someone will still have to write a pinch hit for my, but I looked through the prompts and found one I could do so I’ve nominated that one. *shrug* If I match, fine, if not, I’ll just write a treat or two if I feel up to the challenge. Still gobsmacked that no one else wanted Sense8 or Lucifer ☹

My Yuletide fics
Jan. 10th, 2018 08:40 pmWhitechapel
Drowning in Darkness 11k
Kent/Chandler, G rated, Graphic violence, Horror themes, Awkward Flirting
Set after S4, Kent continues his awkward attempts to date his boss, but the shadows haven't finished messing with him.
Note - My recipient's prompt was minimal so I checked out other prompts and the idea of dark!Kent appealed, and that fitted in with my recip's suggestion of post S4 fallout so I ended up writing my first horror story. Go me!
- My recip didn't comment but I wasn't expecting them to, I wrote the fic I wanted to and had fun, 'tis all good :)
( And Treats in Easy Virtue, Whitechapel and Sense8 )

Hetswap challenge and Lucifer
Jan. 21st, 2017 05:17 pmNext episode of Lucifer in 2 days and 16 hours, not that I have a tab open with a countdown or anything. Fic not back from beta yet, so given the gifs I've seen from the promo, looks like I'll be tagging it canon divergent from the get go. Never been so happy to be jossed :)
If the episode does go that way, I won't have any inspiration to write Lucifer any more, but that's cool.
So, my resolution is to sign up for every challenge/exchange that I notice (luckily my flisters talk about challenges a lot). As long as I can reasonably expect to be able to fulfil the challenge, of course.
So, starting with that, I have signed up for hetswap. Sign ups close 26th Jan, if anyone else is interested.

Yuletide gift and fics
Jan. 7th, 2017 06:21 pmI received a lovely gift for Yuletide! I am so very grateful my writer took on the challenge of writing Deacon/Stu, yay! and it was awesome.
animating every night by tillunwish
What We Do in the Shadows (Deacon/Stu) 1.7k
Stu takes Deacon on a date to the movies. It goes about as disastrously as you might expect.
( Fics I wrote for Yuletide in Call the Midwife, Sense8, Lucifer, Judex and Independence Day )

My fics, just stuff about writing
Jan. 4th, 2015 01:09 pmFor the first time in too many years I had plenty of time to write and read Yuletide. I wrote 22k of gen and het fic, which I'm pretty sure more than doubles my entire output in both those things.
( My fics )
I also have had much more time to read Yuletide this year as I am still on holiday instead of back at work, so when I ran out of fandoms I wanted to read I sorted by kudos and read a heap of fics that had hardrly any kudos. Admittedly I skimmed some, but I also found a few super interesting ones.

This is how I feel at the moment.
Sep. 10th, 2012 10:28 pm( Screencap of my fave scene from latest Dr Who ep under cut )
Yay for dinosaurs on a spaceship \o/ Now I NEED someone to write Riddell and Nefertiti travelling with the Doctor some more until they get the hang of space/time, and then for some reason (like Sherlock is crucial to the survival of the universe) Riddell becomes Lestrade to protect Sherlock. Lestrade's wife and kid are part of his cover story, he really goes home to Neffy, or rather, she's travelling around doing important world-saving stuff and drops in periodically to have hot sex where she is totally tops him.
Because otherwise I’m going to have to do it and I won’t have the time until after Yuletide and then what happens after Yuletide every year is my fic writing falls over because I have all that telly to catch up on again.
My life, so hard.
( Lewis fic I don’t have time to write )

( Lewis fic I don’t have time to write )
So, I wrote a fluffy, fluffy Lewis fic for Valentine's Day. Which, for the record makes four whole Lewis/Hathaway fics, which is the most amount of fics I've written to date for any one pairing...it's just they are SO PERFECT FOR ONE ANOTHER.
I periodically attempt to pimp Lewis, so this time I'll say, go HERE and check out lamardeuse's adorable picspam/reasons why everyone ships them (including the actors).
When I first started pimping Lewis in 09, there were only a tiny handful of fics - now there are 226 on AO3, and a reasonably enthusiastic comm (for such a tiny fandom) and even more importantly, a![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
lewis_challenge with a couple of super keen mods who keep giving us challenges! and deadlines! which I appreciate because I am rarely motivated to write anything unless I have a deadline.
( And more screencaps, because why not )

Pimping Ted & Ralph
Jan. 2nd, 2012 10:28 amI wrote a couple of tiny Ted & Ralph fics as treats because the prompt was basically 'omg give me a happy ending, put me out of my misery' which is pretty much how I felt about it.
Truth Be Told (Ted/Ralph, 2300 words)
Ted and Ralph spend Christmas Eve together.
There's Always the Drainage in the Lower Field (Ted/Ralph, 1100 words)
I started this one first, it was a bit experimental and mostly Ted being thinky, and I abandoned it and wrote the other. I finished this as a Yuletide Madness treat so that the recipient got a more definite happy ending. Hence them both being similarly themed.
I never watched the Fast Show, but a friend introduced me to the Ted & Ralph sketches, about a shy, kind -hearted gentleman who is in love with his gardener. There are hints throughout that his feelings are returned, although it is never spoken of, and the final sketch of the series had a slow mo of them running through a field of flowers holding hands. (it's only a few seconds and is on the last bit of the part 4 compilation below)
( Links to all the sketches )

Episode 7.06 of Supernatural is called Slash Fiction!!!!!!
Watched latest ep, 7.02 and have just realized I can't do the greater/lesser sYmbols to do an lj cut. Dammit. Will just say then, wow, there were some good lines and good acting.
Okay this post officially is devoid of any real content.
Oh, okay, so the other morning I woke up to a heap more kudos on one of my fics and I figured I'd been recced on a comm somewhere, and then Zebra told me it was a bnf on her flist, and so I went to have a look, as you do and she was just discovering Lewis so there was a sorts of links and enthusiasm and fannish joy flying around and now I'm all full of love for Lewis/Hathaway again, yayayayayayayayay.
Dammit, I've just reread that and seen all the typos but I don't know how to just page up though the text so too bad.
Brent Spiner is on Alphas right now.

As usual...
Oct. 15th, 2010 01:16 pmAs usual, behind in uni due to submersion in fandom, this time obsession with Sherlock leading to insane amount of fic writing, plus heaps and heaps of good telly on atm!
Over a couple of months I wrote 30k of fic, more than twice what I usually write in a year! One Lewis fic for charity, and four Sherlock fics, 1 x Sherlock/John, 1 x Sherlock/Lestrade, 1 x John/Lestrade and 1 x Sherlock/John/Lestrade.
Am now taking a break from fandom to do assignments. *SIGH*
...except that Whitechapel has just started, I will have to priorise that. What? It's only three eps!
( my recent TV viewing, probably only of interest to me )

Enough is enough.
Sep. 2nd, 2010 08:32 pmApparently I'm switching to dreamwidth.
I'm still crossposting to and reading LJ, so I'd ask that no one link my posts to Facebook or Twitter. Mostly because I find Facebook very scary.
Um, content?
I wrote a fic - first time I've been inspired this year. Mind you, who wouldn't be inspired by Sherlock. *hearts* Took a prompt from a friend to get me started though, of all things, a m/m/m threesome. Not normally my thing at all and Sherlock/John are totally an OTP, but seriously, Rupert Graves makes *everything* better.
Making Room Sherlock/John/Lestrade.

Jul. 12th, 2009 12:57 pmSomebody just posted a fic with this disclaimer - "RTD should never have been allowed to own these characters." I AM GOBSMACKED.
Also (note subtle segue) this seems like a good time to point out the completely fluffy Ianto and Rhys friendship fic (withtiny amounts of Jack/Ianto and Gwen/Rhys) I posted the other day. (pre-CoE)

Keen Eddie fic by me.
Sep. 23rd, 2008 01:29 pmI started a Keen Eddie fic three years ago, and was so keen I even posted a few parts, which was valuable learning lession on why I should never, never post WIPs. Luckily, my love for Keen Eddie is eternal and last weekend seemed like a great time to avoid assignments finish it.

TDK/Batman fics
Sep. 3rd, 2008 10:36 amIn less than a week I've written 8000 words of a new Batman fic, in between working, looking after Bunny and TWO parties. It's like floodgates have opened in my mind, or something. I really don't want to stop, in case this is it and I never get this again.
::koff:: Of course, it means I've had to take a personal day off work to write my assignment for uni due this week. Er, I'll start doing that, then.
Anyhow, my first fic is finally posted.
Five Ways Jim Gordon Found Out Bruce Wayne is Batman, and One Way Everyone Did
It's perfectly innocent gen fic and the plot is pretty much what the title says.
