Fictional worlds, real joy

All bsg_remix fics have been posted, yay! There are so many awesome fics over there, but I would be particularly remiss if I didn't point you towards the remix written for me: Apres Moi, Le Deluge (Helo/Sharon, PG-13). I tend not to think of remixes as regular fic exchanges (because, well, they're not), but you guys, it's like this fic really was written for me. If there's a common thread in my early BSG fics, especially, it's examining the line between Boomer and Athena; this fic does exactly that, and I love it so.

Reveals go up tomorrow; I ended up writing two fics, and I'll write a ficlet for anyone who correctly guesses one or both of them. (Hell, if you guess both, I'll write you anything.)

In other news, I submitted my remixredux09 fic, picked up a pinch hit for apocalyptothon (which is very exciting, since I hadn't signed up for it this year because of other commitments and was feeling bummed about not participating), and have spent the past ... way too many hours skimming through the prompts at st_xi_kink. Star Trek Kink Meme: more addictive than TV Tropes?

Set phasers to that other setting

I think I just inadvertently created the best pairing ever: Graham/Nandi (BtVS/Firefly). Y/Y?

Okay, maybe I'm the only one who loves Graham an unreasonable amount. But it's Julie freaking Cooper, okay? She is never not awesome.

I've been loving writing lately. It's amazing what the lack of, say, five or six looming deadlines can do. But I got about 2000 words written today, which I'm very happy with. (Don't look at me like that. Of course it was what I was meant to be writing. Not something totally unrelated. Not at all.)

Changing the subject completely - *ahem* - Star Trek Reboot! ( And spoilers )

Also Star Trek related, a couple of Kirk/McCoy fic recs:

Second Skin, by anonymous. Lovely and thoughtful are not words that are usually associated with kink memes, but this fic is. It has porn, sure, but mostly it's about Kirk and McCoy's friendship, and especially about what happens when Kirk, after an alien device transforms him into a woman, decides to stay that way. I don't read a lot of genderswap fics, and even fewer that deal with trans issues, but this is fantastic.

A Shocking Turn Of Events, by cordelianne. The Bridge Crew gets a dose of truth pollen. Jim thinks it's awesome. No one else agrees. Except possibly Bones. aka. My current favourite thing ever! I laughed all the way through this, and honestly, I'd start quoting my favourite bits, but that would be all of it, and I don't want to spoil reading it for you. Just ... if you love the Enterprise team at all, and/or wacky mishaps involving alien life forms, you have to read this.
