A couple more fics to round these off:

Lost Lilies Out of Mind - Gone with the Wind, Ella Lorena Kennedy for tabaqui

totus mundus agit histrionem (but at least there's an interval) - Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley for teigh_corvus

Part 1 of these is here.


Unrelated, the new Nancy Drew trailer is out, and I'm actually pretty excited about it! Yes, it's cheesy and very tongue in cheek, but it looks like fun.



The other thing I want to share is a rec for a Babylon 5 music video. It's incredibly spoilery (covering S2-4) so I've stuck it behind the cut:

2018 was definitely the year of MCU fic. I wrote 123,474 words (!!), not counting my CHM Secret Santa fic, and almost all of those were in the MCU. Two (Memento Mori and till human voices wake us) are WIPs I hope to finish in the first half of 2019. The CHM Secret Santa is still anonymous so I will edit this to add that fic in once it has been revealed.

In date order:

Summary: Tony is the sort of friend who - if you call him because you feel horrible - will turn up with tequila, a jet pack and a stripper. You'll still feel horrible, but you'll be a lot more entertained during it.

Anyway, Rhodey has enough strippers for the moment, thank you. (The strippers are hypothetical. The jet pack, unfortunately, is not.)

My Yuletide fic this year was for luzula , and was in Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness. I was absolutely petrified about attempting this, but I had a lot of fun world-building.

The Harvest of Orhoch (8512 words) by kangeiko
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Original Characters
Additional Tags: Karhidish tales, Canon-Typical Violence, Original Mythology, Worldbuilding
Summary: 

The stain of murder wears heavy upon the soul.

The King of Orhoch seeks to name his heir, though it is no easy thing.
 

I have internet access in the hotel! Only for the next half an hour and then I'm offline for a week, but internets!!!! I don't appreciate how much much I rely on the internet for daily queries until it isn't there any more.

In the meantime, I signed up for kiss bingo, which seems to be one of the few bingo challenges where I actually have a chance of writing enough fic to fill a line or two.

( Here is my card.</a> <font face= )

Following yahtzee63's example, I'm rounding up all the fic I owe people, sticking it all in one place and trying to catch up on stuff.

So. If I've yet to hand something over, it's probably because I'm having some trouble with the prompt. If you're happy with what you requested & just wait it out, that's fine, but if you maybe want to renegotiate to something that'll get written quicker (!), that's also great. Thus far, I have the following (tell me if I've missed you out!) -

- leyenn: (Babylon 5) Marcus finding out about John/Susan, or John/Susan/Talia, or Londo giving John advice on how to deal with a harem.
- raedbard: (Carnivale) Sofie & anyone else, poker.
- likeadeuce: (Dexter) Deb/Doakes, fast food.
- brandy_took: (ST:TOS) Spock/McCoy, snark.
- bluerosefairy: (Sandman) Destruction/Delirium, wake.
- leyenn (again - sorry love!): (Xena) Xena/Gabrielle, Joxer.
- tww_minis: (TWW) Toby with Sam, Will or Ginger, boss/employee relationship, sexual tension & California.

I need to figure out what post-DH fic I want to write before starting to write it. Otherwise I'm going to end up with a giant mess.

I also need to go to bed, due to exam results tomorrow (midnight, ZOMG!! 26 hours to go!!!). Possibly accompanied by the very first HP book.

(I'm also really, really tempted to go back up to Edinburgh for a weekend or something. Or maybe to the Highlands. Somewhere green, and beautiful. Not that I have any money, of course, but... the heat & humidity is killing me. Hmmm.)

Both DH-spoilery, and both fab.

And because I love Petunia - ( spoilery fic rec )

Bed, now.

Because I can. I've got quite a few fandoms and I like trying out new stuff, so what the hell. At least it'll give me something to add all my yuletide and comica_obscura fic to!

(Also, I'm supposed to be writing about ten Alias fics at the moment and am hopelessly stalled. This could be because I need to write about dear twisted Arvin, but my daddy is poorly and I can't write about twisted fathers while my daddy is poorly. Hence the fandom-ness.)

I have cranberries today. And also almonds. Yum. *munch*

I'd gloat about how many I've filled already, but it's only just hit me that I'm going to have to branch out into new and uncharted territory to fill the rest of this. Hmpf. Rarelit fandoms, here I come!


( The fandoms - in alphabetical order )

Stuff recently written but not posted here:

like champagne on a maiden voyage (the Hollywood Remix)
a remix of 'This Thing Called Life' by poisontaster for remix_redux.
Fandom: X-Men
Summary: You can't sip at life.

numerology
written for jennyo for femslash06
Fandom: Firefly / BSG
Summary: In the language of the Lords of Kobol, eight is an inauspicious number.

So, that's good. I'm also dead chuffed with my multiverse2004 assignment as I have a million and one ideas and one particular one that makes me all glowy inside. Of course, as luck would have it, I've settled on one of the fandoms I don't actually have kicking around on DVD, but the wonders of Azureus have solved all my tv-deprived problems.

Mmmmm, raspberry scones. Tonight, matthew, I was spoiled rotten by athena25 who also did the gardening. Sleepy time now...

Ah, it's that time of year again.

( The year in fic )

My word, I've written a lot more than I thought I had!

Anyway. New fandoms, anyone? *big grin*

So, you're never supposed to look back on the year because it does bad things to perspective. Or something. I may have made that up. I would, however, like a prepare a list of things wot I wrote, mainly because I've become a slovenly wench on cyberspace and have neglected to 1) keep offline copies, and 2) organise myself. Anyway, not really a meme, and not in any particular order, here are the 2004 fics I worked on. This list will probably be expanded as I remember things (and as the smutty_claus authors are revealed).


B5 FIC:
RAMPION: Written for bubosquared for the Londothon, G'Kar finds out about the Keeper in a scene different from that in the books. Initially written in my head as a comedy, it somehow came out... a wee bit darker than I had anticipated. Londo/G'Kar.
LA DELUGE: Après moi, la déluge: G'Kar contemplates the rain. Written for 15minuteficlets, although it took me half an hour and so it was never posted to the community.
REAL LIFE: I'm loathe to add this here, as I did not write it this year but, rather, about three years ago. I did, however, finally neaten it up and decide that I wasn't going to expand it into a novella. So. John/Delenn, wherein things are nowhere near perfect.
ANATOMICALLY IMPROBABLE: Comment drabble for selenak. Because we loves selenak, yes, precious, oh yes we do. Londo/G'Kar. With tentacles.


HP FIC:
AN EPISTLE: AKA, From Prof. Severus Snape to the Editor of 'Magic Musings - A Current Events Political Journal'. Snape rants. And raves. In letter-format. WIP.
SHE AND I: smutty_claus entry. The worst time to become a father is eighteen years before a war. Ron/Hermione. AU, future-fic. This was something that I wanted to write as a novella, so it feels very unfinished to me, but with the deadline approaching, I didn't have much choice. I may unpick at some point and do stuff to it.
WALLS: Drabble. If you can read this, thank a teacher.
IF WISHES WERE HORSES: Drabble. Harry dreams.
RENVERSE: Very abstract. I may have been slightly drunk and/or stoned whilst writing this and I just don't remember. Sirius contemplates debts of love and honour. Black/Snape.
UNEXPECTED: Drabble. Unexpected developments during an Occlumency session.
MASS: The Fidelius Charm can do terrible things and Draco looks too much like his father for any good to come of it. Severus/Lucius, Lucius/Draco, Severus/Lucius/Draco. Sort of. One of the major fics I worked on this year, this took me the better part of four months to write.
LE RECIT: merry_smutmas entry. The Final Exam is different for all those who take it. Percy Weasley / Alastor Moody. I fiddled with this from August onwards, but it was about a week before it was due that inspiration finally struck. I'm actually rather pleased at the way it turned out, not least of all because it's been a while since I last wrote genderfuck fic.
NO HIDING PLACE: A student is bullied.
CASUS BELLI: Drabble. Preliminaries.
ANTI-CLIMAX: 15minuteficlets fic. After the war, things carry on.
CEREMONY OF INNOCENCE 5: COATLAXOPEUH: Something is wrong with Ginny Weasley. Tom Riddle/Ginny Weasley, Draco Malfoy/Ginny Weasley.
TURPENTINE: Mrs Black considers murder and bloodlines.
RUMOURS: Drabble. Severus Snape does not have sex.


OTHER FIC:
AN ADEQUATE EXPLANATION (1/?): American Pie WIP. Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity (Nick Daimos). AKA, after Jim and Michelle's wedding, Finch pays Stifler's mom a visit. Bad idea, bad idea, bad idea.
IDLE HANDS: CSI/Brimstone crossover. No link to this fic, because I would dearly love to eradicate it from the face of the earth. In fact, I never wrote it. My computer was attempting to achieve self-awareness, and this was all it could come up with.
ABBATOIR: The Matrix (AU). It's not a Pyrrhic victory if it doesn't matter. Agent Smith/Neo.


STUFF WORKED ON BUT NOT FINISHED / POSTED:
THE WHORE OF BABYLON: Otherwise known as The Fic The Would Not Die. I will finish this fic during 2005 or, so help me, I will invade a small country to stave off my frustration.
THE BEST REVENGE: Bella/Sirius. Because Bella Black is a poor choice for a babysitter.
QUE VIENE EL COCO: This swings in between evilness and schoompyness and just plain drama. I can't decide if I want a dark gen fic, a darker slash fic, or something so h/c sacchrine my teeth with melt. Gah. Gimme a year, I'll write it.
CEREMONY OF INNOCENCE 10: IVY: This is actually complete, but as I haven't written stories 6-9 yet, I'm sticking it here. And I can't post it out of sequence because Actual Plot is happening and gah. Just gah.
THE LONG AND COMPLICATED COURTSHIP OF GINEVRA WEASLEY, aka A DECENT PROPOSAL: Draco/Ginny, Arthur/Molly. Sorta fun, sorta unlikely, but what the hell.
PETER!FIC: Um. So I don't write A/Us, but I decided to try my hand at a 'What if?' fic. So we have an almost-gen fic based around pivotal choices the Marauders make, aka what if James had chosen Sirius as Secret-Keeper?
TIME-TRAVEL!FIC: So I wanted to do a time-travel fic, and my brother, bless his soul, helped with the plotting. At the moment, all I have are eight pages of plotting, but as I am rather keen on the idea of writing Marauder fic, this may change.

OK. *contemplates list* Bugger. It turns out that there is a good reason for me not having any time to do actual uni work...

Sleepy now. Must find bed. *snooze*
