Okay, so, I have declared my independence from the mad world of BBQs and am spending the day at home, writing ficlets. Win!

misspamela asked for 300 words of Patrick/Pete smut, and she's getting--this. *G* First time fic, 700 words, adult.

( We're the places that we wanted to go. )

astolat asked for Supernatural even though I was up late with nightmares about zombies, because she's secretly evol. However, I got her, haha!

Sam and Dean, pre-series, 400 words. ( Bad Dreams of a Different Kind )

Normally I don't write things that are under 1000 words so I actually feel weird about posting them, even though I enjoyed them. Like, clearly, they should just remain comment fic? But I'm having this weird, compulsive, post-organize-tag kind of moment. I'm going to blame it on Merry, who nags. *g* I don't even want to mix my fandoms, man.

Although, now that I say that, someone please tell me there's Pete/Sam out there. That would ROCK. Hee. <3

Last week, merryish said, "Write me John and Rodney with robots and pining," and I said "Okay," and a couple hours later I gave her this. I sent it labeled Break Up, No Robot, to make her think that I don't leap to do her bidding. Haha, me. Anyway, it's 1800 words or so, no beta, and it was fun. :) ETA no headers, so I forgot--2nd half of S3 spoilers, sort of.

( Break Up, No Robot )

Now with bonus ficlet--I was up late last night and asked for ficlet prompts, and I was thinking of Break Up, No Robot when I wrote this one, so I guess it's a sort of unofficial epilogue? 300 words, no beta, ( For Queenzulu, with fluffy blankets. )

Happy New Year, everyone!

I emerge from my incredibly hungover (bright idea: pulls of jack, jager & champagne, so classy), blinking, glazed state to announce that I'm resolved to organize and tag my fic and update my webpage frequently (ahahahaa), and to do my Yuletide reveals.

For Yuletide, I wrote Get Where You've Been Going for iamtheenemy who guessed it was me based on my, um, 2005 Yuletide Entourage story. ;-)

I was so glad to get Entourage again this year--I love Vince/Eric but only ever seem to write them in gift stories. I may try to mix it up this year and write 'em unprompted and not be so predictable at Yuletide time...but I bet that come next year they're on my list again. It's just that I LOVE them! *grins*

I also received an Entourage story this year, What Happens in Vegas by azewewish, about which I left stunningly incoherent feedback, and will have to do better. Fun fun story, with lots of the snarky, bitchy banter I so love!

At 10:30 on Christmas Eve, astolat said that we needed a pinch hit/stocking stuffer. I wrote a crossover between The Chronicles of Chrestomanci and Howl's Moving Castle, Silvers Not as Dazzling, for caudelac in a gleeful Chrestomanci and Howl! kind of daze.

Then I spent a good chunk of time feeding a chat room full of people quotes about Chrestomanci from the books. God, I love Diana Wynne Jones' characters. They're insanely charming.

Aaaaand that was Yuletide. A million (or 1052) thanks to elynross and astolat for running this beast of a fic exchange so smoothly and so well--it really makes the holidays brighter. I love it, and can't wait to go again.

New story!

Since I'm on vacation with nothing to do today, I finally have a little time for writing. Yay! So do I work on the zine story or any of the stories I owe people? Of course not. Those are all perfect reasons to write something else entirely. ;-)

McKay/Sheppard
No spoilers.
2500 words, entirely self-indulgent.

"I'm burning that when we get back to Atlantis," John told him.

Ford grinned cheerfully. "But you can't burn my memory," he said. "Uh, sir."

Ficlet #2 (SGA, J/R). 2750 words for astolat, who is getting--well. Anyway, she asked for it! ;-)

( Some Things Never Change )

Title: It's Like Your Hand
Rating: Adult. ish. Approximately.
Notes: 9500 words of Pop/SGA crossover crack. Here be RPS, mentions of GSF, and a host of other acronyms. Beta by terrio, who is thankfully a night owl. ;-)

You know how sometimes you write something and decide only your nearest and dearest, the ones who mock the most affectionately, will ever see it? This is that story. Except how I always post that story. Whee!

Oh, eta, this started out as a story for sga_flashfic's 'This is not happening' challenge, but then it grew and changed, so I'll have to write something else for that, because it's such a neat prompt.

( It's Like Your Hand )

So, in combined honor of Trickyfish Day and WIP Amnesty, I present bits and pieces of the trickyfish Choose-Your-Own-Adventure story I started writing...3+ years ago. It was a cool idea. I had maps. I will never, ever finish it.

Snippets! No editing, no order! Have, um, fun. *g*

ETA: One day I will master cut tags. Today? Not that day.

New Year's Eve was a blast, although it had a bad start when I drove around for 4 hours trying to meet up with misspamela to see Brokeback Mountain. Rte 128/95 is NOT my friend and an hour and a half after the movie started, I finally made it to the right town but the wrong theatre. I didn't even KNOW there were 2 theatres in that town. Grarrrrgh.

But a couple hours after I got home, Trisha and I met up with some of my friends for dinner, then we headed down to Providence despite horrid road conditions--ice, snow, all the fun stuff. Many hours of drinking later, six of us (the non-wimps! :-p) were out in front of the townhouse having the best snowball fight of all time, omg, so much fun! I went to bed around 4 and then woke up around 9 and came home feeling ridiculously hungover--seriously, okay, I don't know what it is about parties in Providence but I come home a *mess*--and yet also ridiculously cheerful.

In fannish news, it's DWNOGA and Yuletide reveal time!

This year, I wrote two DWNOGA stories. One for lilysaid, Everything in its Place, GSF. ( Notes )

I also wrote The Only Constant for ephemera_pop, Chris/Lance. ( Notes )

For Yuletide, I wrote Good for You, Eric/Vince from Entourage, for estrella30. ( Notes )

Big thanks to firequill, who wrote Chris/AJ for me (Check, double check) for SeSa!

And also to gritkitty, who wrote me what is now one of my favorite Master & Commander stories ever, The Murmuring of Bees Has Ceased.

Aaaaand that is the New Year's roundup, I guess. Best wishes for a wonderful 2006, guys--you all deserve it! :)

Title: Grass Tatters
Fandom: SGA, 20kb/3400 words.
Notes: A while back, sga_flashfic had a challenge and I talked about writing this cracked little story. Then there was Harlequin and I talked about another story, and Search & Seizure, and you get the drift, I'm sure. But hey, I finally got to one of them! *G* Thanks to astolat, kaneko and merryish for read-throughs!
