For once, doing ninth_wonders didn't take over an hour and didn't break my brain.

This makes me very, very happy.

In celebration of my happiness, anyone want comment fic?

Gacking a meme from kita0610, because I am bored and I haven't posted in nearly a week:

Ask me a question about one of my stories. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about my plans for future work if you want to, but keep in mind, I may not have anything firm/definite yet. Anything. Whatever you ask, I will try my best to answer.

My fic can all be found under my fic tag--either because it's on my LJ or because there are links to it from my LJ. Also? Some of the posts tagged fic don't look like they have fic in them; in such cases, there is fic hiding in the comments.

Also, as long as you're here on the subject of fic, here's a question from me: I've written in seventeen fandoms so far; what do YOU think should be the next one?

I don't know why I decided to do this...the idea hit me out of nowhere, and it's probably pure narcissism on my part to expect anyone to read it. But in case any of you were ever curious about some of the really big moments in my life...here some of 'em are.

Title: Six Experiences That Have Defined Me
Disclaimer: Everything in here actually belongs to me. Why? 'Cause I'm ME! Autbiographical, man.
Word count: 8,744 (That's right--it's that long)
Rating: Meh...I'd call it a PG-13, at the worst.

Who wants to have a Blackout Party In The Bomb Shelter Drabblethon for the night?!

ETA: I'll start.


In another two minutes, they are going to miss the call for marks. This scene is important, this scene matters--

--this scene will never be as important to David as the taste of Vincent's tongue when his make-up is smeared. It's cramped as hell, hiding in one corner behind the set, hands and mouths and teeth and oh, God, fingers digging into his back at the same time that sharp hipbones press into his waist. He will never remember how they got into this position.

"Jesus, you're killing me." He whispers against Vincent's mouth.

He chuckles. "You love it."

It's not fair. The boy cheats by way of facts.

"Guys!" A voice David identifies as Tim's yells across the set. "We're ready for you!"

"Shit." David hisses frantically as they pull apart and begin fighting with zippers and shirt hems, hauling everything back into place.

"Guys! Come on!"

Vincent untangles himself easily and returns to his marker, settling himself down with a faintly evil grin while David adjusts his leather jacket and heads to his own mark on the other side.

"What took you guys so long?" Tim asks in annoyance.

It's a rhetorical question, but it doesn't stop Vincent from smiling angelically at him and replying, without missing a beat, "Last day make-out session."

Minear rolls his eyes. "Cute. Okay, take it from where we left off in three, two..."

Vincent's face transforms immediately--heart-rendingly--as he delivers his line

("My dead mother couldn't love me.")

and David is secretly really glad that Angel is supposed to look hurt and dumbfounded here, because otherwise, his own dumbstruck admiration of Vincent's acting chops might've been really misplaced.

You'd never have known he had just made out with a guy playing his character's father in a corner for the past fifteen minutes.


ETA again: It's not supposed to be good, it's supposed to be funny. ::realizes this plan may have failed spectacularly::

It's over! It's done with! FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, HALLELUJAH, FREE AT LAST!

::sings:: Everybody's free...to sleep...

So for the benefit of everyone who filtered me off their flist yesterday to avoid the spam, here is a round-up of everything I did for Blogathon. Lots of fic got written for lots of people. Some people, even people who were promised, didn't get them, though, and I am SO, SO, SO SORRY for that--there weren't a lot of beta resources that time of night and some of you, I really didn't want to post something of quality best described as "marginally acceptable." You will get something in the coming weeks if you got gypped today. I'm really sorry.

As far as the fic goes, though, I really ran the gamut this time: het, slash, gen, crossover, AU, incest, threesome and utter CRACK. Also, I wrote in fandoms I have never written in before, or have only dabbled in once or twice! It was all very broadening. :-) So, for your perusal, the fic, separated by fandom:

Angel

Water - A Connor/Fred for fodian, in which Connor watches Fred in the shower.

Gift of Grace - vignette - A Cordelia gen for siliconalleycat, set in the universe of her marvelous fic, Year of Grace.

Moment in Time - A Connor-and-Holtz-in-Quor-Toth gen for m3sektet, in which I played with the issue of how you fucking spell "Steven."

Driver's Ed - A Connor and Gunn interaction piece for hateable, set in my fake memories AU series, in which Gunn teaches Connor how to drive. Or tries to.

Red - A Connor and Drusilla interaction piece for stoney321, set post-"NFA."

Firefly

Dandelion - River and Simon's last kiss, written for bitter_crimson.

Good Omens

Kissing Cousins - A Crowley/Aziraphale kiss for soulstar.

Harry Potter

A Black Family Wedding - A Sirius/Anrdomeda piece for rinsbane. No, it is not their wedding.

Birth - A Malfoy gen about Draco's birth for runcible.

Heroes

Voyeur - A Noah/Sandra Bennet smut with implied Noah/Claude. For lady1raven.

Homestar Runner

Man Down - A Homestar Runner drabble of UTTER CRACK written for fandom_helps.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Gestation - A "POTC: AWE" Elizabeth drabble written for fandom_helps.

X-Men

Simulate - A "Cable being inappropriate with Jean" piece for likeadeuce.

Project: X-Men - Feral - vignette An "X-Men" AU Scott/Rogue piece for katers007.

Project: X-Men - Commencement - vignette An "X-Men" AU scene with Scott being jealous of Warren for angelofthenlght.

Crossovers

The Man In Question - A "Torchwood"/"Angel" crossover written for lafemmedarla. Jack/Darla/Dru.

One-Night Stand - A "Supernatural"/"BtVS" crossover written for exsequar. Sam/Faith.

Waiting - A "Supernatural"/"Drive" crossover written for green_wing. Gen. Sam and Winston.

Candy Mountain - An UTTER CRACK drabble crossing over "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "Charlie the Unicorn." (I was REALLY tired.)

Voice posts

Not fic. These are the places where I made voice posts to break up the monotony.

First voice post, out of sheer boredeom.

Second voice post, right before I took a dinner break with Darla.

Third voice post, in which I SING

---

And that's really everything of note. Everything else is me talking about how tired I am. :-)

::goes off to SLEEP FOR TEN YEARS OMG::

You know that level of tired you get when everything starts to be really, really funny?

I'm there.

So here you are, an actual 100-word drabble, crossing over "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" with "Charlie the Unicorn."

X-Men ficlets seem to be ruling this part of my day. Here's one for angelofthenlght, who enjoys Scott's pain. :-D

Title: Project X-Men: Commencement vignette
Fandom: X-Men AU
Disclaimer: X-Men belongs to Stan Lee and Marvel comics.
Rating: G
A/N: Yep, another piece of "PXM." Maybe I'll end up writing the whole thing in 'shippery vignettes over the course of today. ::doubts it, though:: This one's actually set BEFORE the last one I posted.

I posted ten minutes late on purpose this time, to get my schedule back on track. :-) No, seriously.

This one is for katers007, who likes it when I write ze "X-Men," and I almost never do.

Title: Project: X-men - Feral vignette
Fandom: X-Men AU
Disclaimer: "X-Men" is the property of Stan Lee and Marvel comics.
A/N: This is set in my as-yet-unfinished, unposted "X-Men" AU series called "Project: X-Men," from the chapter called "Feral." It's the second vignette in the series I've ever posted, and like the last one, it's Scott/Rogue.
Rating: NC-17

And here's another prompt response, this one for likeadeuce, who wanted Cable being inappropriate with Jean. :-D

Title: Simulate
Fandom: X-Men comicsverse
Disclaimer: X-Men belongs to Stan Lee and Marvel comics.
A/N: This is unbeta'd, kinda weird (probably because it's unbeta'd) and set during "Search for Cyclops," because it's the only series with Cable I've ever read.
