I wish I was a mermaid and was friends with all the fish

Okay, so most of what I posted this month was actually written last year, but most of what I did write this month was for longer fics that haven't been posted yet, so it pretty much evens out. Anyway, I posted nine fics in seven (eight?) fandoms: Wizards of Waverly Place, Disney RPF, Princess Protection Program, Glee RPF, The Office, Dollhouse, and a BtVS/Firefly crossover.


Offer Me Alternatives (And I Decline) (Dollhouse - Dominic/Adelle - PG-13 - 650 words) It's not the end of the world. Spoilers up to season two.


Kiss And Tell (The Office - Ryan/Kelly, Andy/Erin - PG-13 - 937 words) Five kisses that may or may not have happened while filming Male Prima Donna.


Our Faces Split The Coast In Half (Princess Protection Program - Carter/Rosie - PG-13 - 784 words) Rosie decides to show Carter around Costa Luna.


Mnemonic Devices To Help You Remember How To Spell 'Mnemonic Devices' (Wizards Of Waverly Place - Justin/Alex - PG - 3470 words) She finds sticky notes in four different books, folded pages in two, and even notes scrawled in the margins of something she thinks must have been one of their dad's old magic books. Spoilers up to episode 2:5 - Night At The Lazerama.


A Dollar Seventy-Five Won't Buy You Much (In Space) (Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Firefly - Graham/Nandi - PG-13 - 265 words) Home is where you lay your head.


Everything Is Not What It Seems (Disney RPF - David Henrie/Selena Gomez - PG-13 - 1928 words) They're being stealth. (Or, the art of keeping a relationship secret when your boyfriend wouldn't know subtlety if it hit him over the head. Repeatedly.)

To Face Unafraid The Plans That We've Made (Disney RPF - Demi Lovato/Selena Gomez - PG-13 - 1656 words) "So," Demi says. "There's a dance." Part of the DC High 'verse.

Dream Days At The Hotel Existence (Glee RPF - Mark Salling/Dianna Agron - PG-13 - 1172 words) "Don't you have your own room?"

How To Be A Domestic Goddess (Glee RPF - Lea Michele/Dianna Agron - PG-13 - 1733 words) She's majorly, totally, butt-crazy in love with her roommate.

THINGS TO DO IN FEBRUARY:

- Finish the last few scenes of my apocabigbang first draft. Edit.
- Write help_haiti fic for juleet.
- Write post-Yuletide fics for pirateygoodness and yo_mtvraps.
- Finish assignment for purimgifts.
- Maybe write some Cara/Kahlan for the porn battle.

Also, y'know, start school. But, whatever. Priorities.

I know you guys have all seen this, but I'm boosting the signal anyway: help_haiti. You can offer fic, graphics, physical goods, etc. in exchange for donations to help those in need, or bid on goods offered by other people. If you're interested in making an independent donation, there's also some information on how you can do that.

My thread is here. I'm offering to write a fic of at least 5000 words in Wizards of Waverly Place, Disney RPF, or related fandoms, for a minimum bid of $10. I'll also consider requests to write in any fandom I'm familiar with; you guys know what I'm likely to be able to write, but if you want to make sure I can do it, you can comment here, or email or PM me. I can write genfic, most het and femslash pairings, and a very few boyslash pairings; crossovers, AUs, fusions, etc. are totally welcome, and you can choose the prompt or scenario, as vague or as detailed as you'd like.

Also - obviously - I'm back home :) Fics I've already promised are on their way, and I'm slowly catching up on stuff that's been happening while I've been gone. (I may have missed you guys, a little.)

Answers to the fandom opinions meme. Includes spoilers for Battlestar Galactica and Legend of the Seeker.


mfirefly10 asked:

What was your opinion of BSG season 4.5? What did you like/dislike about it? What would you have changed? And finally, did your opinion of 4.5 and the conclusion to the storyline(s) effect your opinion of the series as a whole?

( Battlestar Galactica )

pirateygoodness asked:

a) Battle to the death of all the Disney stars, and you can only save one. Who? CHOOSE YOUR FAVOURITE WISELY, THERE ARE CORRECT ANSWERS.
b) Which is the gay one, Demi or Selena?
c) If you could see any not-already-existing DC RPF AU, what would it be and why?
d) Tell me two thotz you have on Legend of the Seeker, since I'm watching it. :D?

( Disney RPF, Legend of the Seeker )

grammarwoman asked:

First-time vs. established relationship stories:

Do you have a preference or tendency to write one over the other? Do you have a preference or tendency (or just notice a trend) to read one over the other? Or do your answers vary by fandom?

Title: To Face Unafraid The Plans That We've Made
Fandom: Disney RPF
Pairing(s): Demi Lovato/Selena Gomez
Word Count: 1656
Rating: PG-13

Summary: "So," Demi says. "There's a dance."

Notes: Written for pirateygoodness as a yuletide treat. Shamelessly borrowed from her DC High 'verse, which is awesome and everyone should read.

yuletide author reveals are up! I'll be reposting my fics here over the next couple of days, but in the meantime, I wrote:

Mnemonic Devices To Help You Remember How To Spell 'Mnemonic Devices' (Wizards Of Waverly Place, Justin/Alex)

Everything Is Not What It Seems (Disney RPF, David/Selena)

To Face Unafraid The Plans That We've Made (Disney RPF, Demi/Selena)

Our Faces Split The Coast In Half (Princess Protection Program, Carter/Rosie)

SO, THIS YEAR'S THEME, APPARENTLY, WAS SELENA GOMEZ-SHAPED PEOPLE. AND DISNEY, BUT THAT IS HARDLY SURPRISING. I kind of feel like all my fics were really obviously written by me, but, it's Yuletide? With, like, a billion fics, so I'm probably not as obvious as I think I am.

... but, then again, two of my fics were accurately guessed before the reveals, so.

On that note: pirateygoodness and yo_mtvraps both guessed correctly, so, THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU GET TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT ME TO WRITE. (Except, well, okay, I'm pretty sure I know what I'll be writing for pirateygoodness.) Fandom, pairing, prompt, scenario, whatever - in this case, specificity is probably good, so go crazy.

I finally put up (and decorated) my Christmas tree today! I know, it's less than a week until Christmas, but the less time it's up, the less time my cat has to eat it, so. I also finished wrapping presents, watched Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, which, shut up, I still love, and then, I wrote stuff! (I love having my holiday ficathon assignments finished early, even if it's only by a couple of days, it makes me feel SUPER ACCOMPLISHED or whatever.)

So, since I'm actually making progress on stuff, I figured I'd do one of those fic check-in things.

( Current fics in progress )

So, yeah, I still haven't started my second apocabigbang fic, but I do have an idea for it; I'm not sure if it's something I'll actually manage to finish, but AtVS is definitely a go, regardless. And I probably won't be able to finish To Wish Impossible Things by the end of the year, like I would have liked, but I might be able to make some progress on it, and maybe make a concentrated effort once apocabigbang is finished.

I broke 1000 words on my yuletide fic! After I got a solid idea for it, it was actually pretty easy to write, so that's good. And I wrote 1000 words of Demi/Selena fic which is SO COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS, it even has the cheesiest summary ever, like, it could be a blurb from an actual harlequin novel. I'm not sure if should keep it like that or change it to something less cracky, hmmm. It was supposed to be a snippet, but is turning into an actual fic, like, I'm not sure the premise actually warrants it, but whatever. Also, I realised that this is my first ever ridiculous AU, I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF.

Anyway, I'm past the minimum word count on both my holiday ficathon assignments, so I'm feeling good about those. I still need to work a lot more on my apocabigbang fics if I want to be on track for the halfway point check-in at the end of the month, but I'm pretty confident about the first one, and I can deal with the second one once I have a few less things to worry about. And I'm having a lot of fun with them (especially the Alex the Vampire Slayer fic), so hopefully it shouldn't be too hard.

I wrote seven fics in November, around 13,000 words, in five fandoms. Three I'd written in before (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Wizards Of Waverly Place, Disney RPF), two I hadn't (Glee, Greek).


Burn, Don't Freeze (Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Buffy/Faith - PG-13 - 100 words) It's easy to keep warm, at first.


All The Better To See You With (Glee - Puck/Quinn - PG - 100 words) It's not like he watches her. Spoilers up to episode 1:8 - Mash-Up.

If I Could Talk I'd Tell You (Glee - Artie/Tina - PG - 100 words) There's a lot she wants to tell him. Spoilers for episode 1:9 - Wheels.


I Want To Hold Your Hand (Greek - Ashleigh/Rebecca - PG - 150 words) It's pretty much the same thing they do every night.


Don't You Forget About Me (Wizards of Waverly Place - Justin/Alex - PG-13 - 7005 words) All Alex wanted to do was to make Justin forget. (In which case, the spell could be called a success, but ... maybe not so much.) In which magic is used without permission, Justin gets amnesia, and Alex is definitely not his girlfriend.


Not-So-Good Titles For Murder Mysteries (Disney RPF - David Henrie/Selena Gomez - PG - 5335 words) In which David Henrie kills Joe Jonas (but not for real, probably).

Paparazzi (Disney RPF - Demi Lovato/Selena Gomez - PG - 467 words) Sometimes, when they're in public, Demi walks in front of her.


It's a lot less than the past couple of months, but I can live with that, especially since most of what I'm writing now isn't due for another few weeks or months, and because at least I finished the couple of major fics I was working on more or less around their deadlines. I'm also planning on taking it easy, a little, since I'm still recovering from that whole hospital thing, and because the last thing I want to do is burn myself out on writing just before my holiday ficathons and big bangs are due.

Goals for December: finish my prettylightsfic and yuletide fics, get more words my apocabigbang fics (including nailing down a plot for the second one, which is kind of giving me a headache), keep working on To Wish Impossible Things. Maybe write some Yuletide Madness, kink meme, and/or prompt fics if I have time for it.

It's a little late for a mid-month check-in, but whatever, I'm doing one anyway.

( Exchange fics )

So. I don't want to jinx it, but the Fall Fandom Free-For-All fic is finally going the way it was supposed to. Already there have been things that could possibly qualify as wacky hijinks! A reboot was definitely the way to go, I think. (It's still a lot later than I intended to have it finished, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to work on To Wish Impossible Things as much as I wanted, but still. I'm just glad it's actually going somewhere now.)

I'm still keeping up with wrisomifu, and in the past week I've made progress on four of the six fics I'm working on. So, yay.

It's (roughly) a quarter of the way through November, so, fic check-in time! The only thing I haven't made progress on is my Disney RPF big bang (excluding, of course, my prettylightsfic and yuletide fics, since those assignments haven't been sent out yet). And I've managed to write something every day for wrisomifu; so far, not counting random ficlets, I've written 6256 words, which ... is not extraordinary, but considering I was majorly blocked on one particular fic for most of that time, it's not horrible.

Title: Not-So-Good Titles For Murder Mysteries
Fandom: Disney RPF
Pairing(s): David Henrie/Selena Gomez
Word Count: 5335
Rating: PG

Summary: In which David Henrie kills Joe Jonas (but not for real, probably).

Notes: Written for the Halloween ficathon at spook_me.

( The butler really did it, no joke )

Wow, I am awesome at procrastinating. So far, in the past couple of days I've signed up for prettylightsfic, written my Dear Author letter, started compiling my yuletide requests and letter, put together word count meters for half a dozen fics that don't need them because they're currently sitting at a grand total of nothing, and written a ficlet that's completely unrelated to anything else I'm supposed to be doing. And, okay, I did manage to write another few hundred words of my spook_me fic, but the way it's going right now, I'm pretty much just hoping that people don't hate it.

I also tried to sleep, but obviously that didn't work out so well for me, since I'm still awake.

(But, apparently, last night the night before last I dreamed that my Disney RPF apocabigbang fic should be a Sliders AU. And that they should slide to a post-apocalyptic reality or something. And I woke up pretty firmly convinced that this was an actual thought I'd had while awake, and was therefore something that was actually awesome, instead of dream awesome, until I realised that, nope. In my dream, though, it was the best idea ever. And now I kind of want to watch Sliders. Specifically, I want to watch the pilot, but I do have a random season three episode that, for some reason, was included as a bonus feature on my Earth 2 DVDs. So maybe I'll watch that.)
