procrastinations [Nov. 20th, 2009|10:33 am]
Of all the things I ought to be doing, I did this meme. From [info]daria234:

1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

Characters are:
1. Astrid Farnsworth(Fringe)
2. Sophie Devereaux (Leverage)
3. Maria LaGuerta (Dexter)
4. Misa Amane (Death Note)
5. Rita Morgan (Dexter)
6. Nyota Uhura(STXI)
7. Parker (Leverage)
8. Revy (Black Lagoon)
9. Gaila (STXI)
10. Tara (Leverage)

And this is what I did with them )

If all my friends jumped off a bridge... [Nov. 5th, 2009|12:32 pm]
meme time!

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

I feel silly doing this, since I'm not much of a writer or anything, but it sounds like fun. Plus I get to show off the fact that I have a fic masterlist and can pretend to be an actual organized person, at least in one facet of my life. :D

little creative jump-start... [Oct. 22nd, 2009|02:47 pm]
Okay, people.

Who wants to give me prompts for original flash-fiction? Any kind of prompt welcome -- quotes, plotbunnies, songs, single words, etc. If you have strong feelings on adult content (pro or con), let me know with the prompt, kay?

I know I have more important things to do, school-wise, but... yeah. I don't wanna.

Think of this as one of those "how well do you know your friends?" quizzes... [Oct. 19th, 2009|10:27 am]
Okay, I just posted and deleted because I thought of a cleverer way to say the same thing.

Behind the cut, I'm going to post a chunk of the article I'm currently discussing in my 16th century lit paper. The game is, you read the quote, and guess which much more concise and elegant (but less appropriate for grad school) quotation I am SORELY TEMPTED to use in my paper.

I probably should have slept more last night...

Warning for gratuitous academese and made-up words... )

there's always repercussions when you're dating in school [Oct. 15th, 2009|04:48 pm]
OMG I FINALLY FINISHED IT YOU GUYS. IT IS EIGHT THOUSAND WORDS LONG.

If you put this in the same room as, say, that S/U baby fic I wrote, I think reality might implode. It's anti-fluff.

All for you, [info]rubynye. <3

Title: "Friend is a Four-Letter Word"
Fandom: Star Trek XI, mirror universe
Pairing: Chekov/Sulu
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: stalking, rape, sexual horror
Summary: Pavel wants Lieutenant Sulu to want him... but of course, you can't always get what you want.
Word count: @ 8,000 total.
Author's note: for a prompt on the ISS Kink Meme by [info]rubynye, who said "In regular Trek fics, people stumble on sex pollen. In the Mirror Universe, I imagine that it would be used as a weapon..."

"To feel like if you can't fuck someone, you're going to die right on the spot.... I can't quite imagine what it must be like."

Shit you guys, we really do live in the Mirror Universe.

And speaking of the MU, I should FINALLY be finishing that story today. I am really trying. I didn't know when I started this one that it would have so many words in it!

Bringing Out The Dead [Sep. 22nd, 2009|10:45 pm]
On race, class, crime tv and fiction, and the Rocky Mount murders. Discussion of violence against women, not graphic but probably upsetting. Also probably incoherent rage. )

Dear Pandora Station, AGAIN,

When I was writing Spock/Uhura you played "Bones" by the Editors.

Now I am writing Kirk/McCoy and you tell me "Human/Alien" by Area27.

There really is no pleasing you, is there?

odds and ends [Sep. 2nd, 2009|11:07 pm]
Okay, housekeeping time.

Two fics posted for the kink meme since my last fic dump here. Of course, you're saying, that means I finished some of my WIPs. Of course you would say that because you're a crazy person! Nope, I wrote two random comfort!fics for people having bad days, because fluff is easy and discipline is hard. Also, let's go shopping!

"Two Tickets," a Kirk/McCoy academy ficlet where Kirk has had a terrible, horrible day. After my last couple of weeks at school, I'm tempted to write a whole bunch of these. For [info]andhopeto.

"Perks of the Job," where Uhura and Spock have a baby and Nurse Chapel helps. AMAZINGLY fluffy. For [Bad username: slyprentice,] who wants to be a nurse. Written entirely because I love nurses, in a gratitude way, not a fetish way.

Also I have a new LJ title, as some of you may have noticed. It references two of my major fannish obsessions -- I bet most of you will get at least one of them. :) Somewhat more obscurely, my current DW title is from the kids' show "3-2-1 Penguins!," because it amuses me.

(ps, "hug it out"? "man love"? Devlin, Rogers &co, are you trying to kill me?)

(pps why can I not find Mad Men slash? I know it would be really angsty and depressing, and I want it anyway.)

what is this i don't even [Aug. 20th, 2009|01:18 am]
Okay I am sleepy and have been through a lot of stress today but GUYS GUYS GUYS.

Have you guys noticed how freaking CARNIVALESQUE nu!trek, esp in fic/fanon, is?

Because SERIOUSLY. It's like "whoa everything's all topsy-turvy, let's take this total screwup and put him in charge!"

And then the Lord of Misrule is like "okay, let's save the world and have crazy antics!" And everyone just sort of goes with it.

I feel like I should have more to say here, but that was just a random little archetype!epiphany. I feel like there may be some sort of meta fic or prompt in there, IDK.

But you see what I'm saying, right? Right?

~*edited because I forgot the phrase Lord of Misrule. There is AT LEAST an icon in that.*~

Everyone else was doing it and it seemed like fun, so...

I am doing the "You Should Write" meme!

To tell me what I should write, follow the link and reply to my comment.

Sadly they don't seem to let you comment anon, though. But I'm pretty much open to any requests.

Kink Meme Fic Dump Part 1.2 -- WIP Update [Jul. 7th, 2009|01:27 pm]
This is where I tally up all the stuff that I'm working on and not done with yet. Behind a cut because I dunno if anyone actually cares! :)

If anyone does care, comments/encouragement are super appreciated, because almost all of these are giving me Trouble.

I've got my work cut out for me.. )

Star Trek XI Kink Meme Fic Dump, Part I [Jul. 7th, 2009|07:47 am]
[Tags|, , ]

I say Part I because I have soooo many WIPs and I am still telling myself every day that today is the day I'm going to fix them. :D

These are all links to my DW, where everything has its own header with rating, warnings and author's notes, etc.

"Whistle While You Work," tiny, cutesy Chekov/Sulu ficlet from Spock's POV, maybe PG or PG-13

"Logical Arrangements," The one where (almost) everyone in the cast is polyamorous. Romance, fluff and (hetero!) sex, multiple pairings, hard R or NC-17 for sex

"Detonate For Me," Kirk/Spock kinky porn without plot, NC-17

"Maybe In Another Lifetime: Five AUs Where Kirk and McCoy Loved Each Other, And The One Where The Finally Admitted It," a series of AU (alternate universe) snippets where Kirk and McCoy are cops, college students, Dungeons and Dragons characters, Steampunk airship pilots, etc, etc. PG-13 for silly sexual humor. With fan art by [info]knightemplar.

"Where Many Have Gone Before," True drabble (100 word fic) poking fun at a variety of fandom cliches. R for sex comedy.

"Extreeeeeme!" Fluffly ficlet where Sulu and Kirk are BFFs in search of fun on leave. PG, language.

"There To Catch You," Schmoopy fic where McCoy has a panic attack and Kirk and Spock help him through it. Probably R for threesome implications, sexual imagery, and scary stuff

"Got Your Back," Just a fight scene between Sulu and Chekov and a bunch of Klingons. Could be slash with more context, or just friendship. I'd love more feedback on this one, because I don't have a ton of experience writing action.

I'll be back later with status reports on my WIPs and whatnot. Right now, I may go back to sleep. :D

OMG GETTING A DOG GETTING A DOG OMG OMG.

That is pretty much my thought process right now, alternating with OMG GOTTA CLEAN THE APARTMENT.

We are going to go pick up MacGuffin this weekend. Tonight we went to PetSmart with Scott to get a crate and toys and stuff for him. The cashier asked us if we were getting a new puppy and it turned into a whole conversation with the other people in line and because I am a huge nerd I ended up explaining to everyone what "MacGuffin" is a reference to and it was pretty exciting. OMG. DOG.

I feel like there might be something else to say, but PUPPY!

oh yeah. I wore the dress to the wedding and it was fine. Thanks for the advice!

May 18th -- FOC_U day of posting support [May. 18th, 2009|02:00 pm]


FOC United banner created by lj user benaaronovitch.

So. I'm posting in support of Fen Of Color United today, in the role of a white fan who seriously wants to see more respect for people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds in the geeky and genre media that I know and, mostly, love. It's not about political correctness and silencing free speech, it's about welcoming more voices and listening to more points of view. That's not stifling, it's, I don't know, blossoming.

I wanted to keep this short in the service of it Not Being About Me. But if anybody wants to see me ranting and raving about this sort of thing, check out the massive flamewar I started on RPGnet! I swear I was not trolling on purpose, I was just kind of "wtf!" and wanted to share.

You guys I am such a dork I invented a TV trope.

I am kind of terrified to actually register as a troper, though. [info]comment_fic has already started taking over my life.
