FIC (sort of): The Red-Headed League of Female Doctors

Wed, 08 Apr 2015 17:14:18 GMT

I wrote a treat for naraht for Bad Bang IV: The World's Worst Exchange. It is probably not as bad as it could be, but it's still pretty bad. I had so much fun writing and illustrating it.

Friday fics — tricksters and other enigmas

Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:31:34 GMT

Je ne suis pas un cadeau et mes cadeaux encore moins (449 words) by Nelja
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Norse Religion & Lore
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Loki/Sigyn, Frigg/Óðinn | Frigg/Odin, Loki & Óðinn | Loki & Odin
Characters: Loki (Norse Religion & Lore), Óðinn | Odin, Sigyn (Norse Religion & Lore), Frigg | Frigga
Additional Tags: Humor, Gift Giving, Worst at Friendship
Summary:

Odin et Loki s'interrogent : qu'offrir à l'autre pour le nouvel an ? Il faut que ce soit le pire cadeau de l'histoire des cadeaux. Leur honneur est en jeu !

Norse Mythology was always a rare fandom, but now you have to craft increasingly-arcane queries to confirm just how little non-Marvel fic there actually is. And then sometimes it's in French. Luckily, I read French!

Learning Russian (1210 words) by perevision
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic World
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: William Wilcox/Amedeo Kaplan, Jake Kaplan/;)
Characters: William Wilcox, Amedeo Kaplan, Jake Kaplan
Additional Tags: Books, E.L. Konigsburg
Summary:

Several years later, Amedeo no longer feels like a member of Aloners Anonymous, but he still hears the double exclamation points when he thinks William Wilcox's name.

I love this book so much—it's one of my favorite Konigsburgs, and she was one of my favorite authors, ever. There should be more fic for it, but as there's only the one, luckily it's delightful.

When Wart met the Doctor (1470 words) by SansSerif
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Doctor Who, Once and Future King series - T. H. White
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: The Doctor (Doctor Who), Arthur Pendragon, Wart, Pellinore (Arthurian), Merlyn
Additional Tags: Sword in the Stone, Christmas, Feast, Questing, dragon - Freeform, Acting, Forest Sauvage
Summary:

“It was Christmas night and the proper things had been done. … There had been mummers to play an exciting dramatic presentation of a story in which St. George and a Saracen and a funny Doctor did surprising things…” — TH White’s Sword in the Stone c.1939

I don't know the classic Doctors well enough to work out which one I think this is! Perfect idea for a crossover, though.

the beatings will continue until morale improves (1621 words) by astolat
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Sherlock (TV)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson
Additional Tags: Spanking, BDSM, First Time, 3x01-The Empty Hearse
Summary:

"This is why you didn't tell me, isn't it," John said.

So I actually really hate it when people slap and/or punch each other, especially if it's played for laughs, unless one or more parties are deriving sexual gratification from it, in which case I love it, so this is, like, fix-it fic for me.

Friday fic(bunnies) — improbable Bible crossovers

Sat, 11 Jan 2014 04:38:44 GMT

Technically, none of these stories exist—yet; this is a problem that could be remedied!—but wisdomeagle came up with six superb Bible crossovers in honor of my birthday. I mean, come on, who doesn't want to read and/or write Jael the Vampire Slayer?

The rest of my birthday was equally fabulous! I found a copy of P. G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters at Half Price Books after they cunningly lured me in with a special birthday coupon. Although, quite inexplicably, they have all their Wodehouse shelved in the Mystery section…

Friday fics — two illustrated novellas

Fri, 26 Jul 2013 21:58:43 GMT

I only have two stories to share this week, but they're both amazing and they both have illustrations!

Babysitter of the Daleks by sloth_in_a_box, lippian and aceattorneysho
Baby-sitters Club/Doctor Who (Eleventh Doctor) crossover. Gen/Humor/Crack. ~PG. 31,820 words.
The Eleventh Doctor comes to Stoneybrook and unlocks the alien mystery of its perpetually-looping timeline (among other things) in this Baby-sitters Club Christmas Super Special.

As a huge fan of DW, the BSC, and cracktastic crossovers, I knew I was going to love this story the minute I saw the lovingly hand-rendered cover. It is absolutely filled with in-jokes about the OTT ridiculousness of the BSC books and I love it.

Vae Victis (33405 words) by Sineala
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Eagle | The Eagle of the Ninth (2011)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Marcus Flavius Aquila/Esca Mac Cunoval
Characters: Marcus Flavius Aquila, Esca Mac Cunoval
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Historical, Alternate Universe - Ancient Greece & Rome, Alternate Universe - Etruscans, Alternate Universe - Gaul, Etruscans, Gauls, War, Romance, First Time, Additional Warnings Apply
Summary:

War looms on the horizon as Marcus' homeland of Etruria is faced with the unreasoning demands of the Gauls, a vicious, deadly foe. Young and lonely, Marcus begins a tentative friendship -- a friendship that could become something more -- with Esca, a prince of the Gauls. But the differences of the two nations cannot be ignored, and both Marcus and Esca must choose between the needs of their peoples and the desires of their hearts.

True story: I actually had a freshman seminar on the Etruscans with Larissa Bonfante, mumblety-mumble years ago. The Etruscans are awesome, and so is this story.

Also contains gorgeous artwork by alby_mangroves!

yuletide flailings

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:28:12 GMT

Am in the middle of drafting my Dear Yuletide Author letter. In a way I find this part much harder to write than my eventual actual story—I'm so terrible about writing directly about what it is that I enjoy, as opposed to flailing incoherently in its general direction and hitting kudos/like/reblog/5-stars/etc as hard and enthusiastically as I can. This is a failing of mine that I should work on.

I have barely made a dent in narrowing down possible offers. I'm thinking of combining this with a project to create master list of all the fandoms I plan to read in Yuletide this year, for the benefit a hypothetical potential author who might a.) want to write a crossover b.) with a certified Yuletide-rare fandom that c.) their recipient (i.e., me) is actually familiar with. Is this a good idea, does any one think? I hasten to iterate that I'm not demanding any crossovers with anything. I mostly just like making lists and also procrastinating.
