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

After having written nothing since March(!), I finally posted fic this month - six, to be exact, in five different fandoms, plus a crossover. I also updated As You Like It, which has been languishing since 2007, taking my total word count this month up to about 10,000 words - something I'm definitely not unhappy with.


Love's Not A Competition (But I'm Winning) (Dark Angel - Alec/Max - R - 1487 words) A little friendly competition never hurt anybody, right?

Homecoming (Doom - John/Samantha - R - 2216 words) He doesn't sleep.

Should Fall Apart (The End Is The Beginning Is The End Remix) (Firefly - Mal/Inara - PG-13 - 100 words) It isn't at all the way she imagined it. Spoilers for the entire series, including Serenity. A remix of Should Fall Apart by trialia.

Is There A Box For "I'm Totally Gay?" (The Cover Girl Remix) (Gossip Girl - Blair/Jenny - PG - 100 words) She thinks about kissing the gloss right off Blair's lips. A remix of Not Your Girl by sionnain.

Confessor (The Intergalactic Communication Remix) (Stargate SG-1/Farscape - Cameron, Aeryn - PG - 100 words) She is only a soldier. A remix of untitled by kernezelda.

Boredom Fades, But Infidelity's For Keeps (CW RPF - Alona Tal/Danneel Harris - PG-13 - 1348 words) She fucking hates these things, she really does.

( 2008 fic masterlist )

Round 5 at remixthedrabble is over, and the archive is open. This time around, I wrote six fics, and had three written for me, which was awesome; there were over a hundred fics submitted altogether, in 47 different fandoms, and you can check out the master list here.


Fics written for me:

Fics written by me:

I'm Afraid I Think I'm (More Human Than Human Remix) (Battlestar Galactice - Boomer - PG-13 - 250 words) It's not like she was the only one keeping secrets. Spoilers up to episode 2:1 - Scattered. A remix of Five Things That Never Happened To Sharon Valerii (#3) by projectjulie.

This Is Not A Romantic Comedy (Nick And Nora Remix) (Gilmore Girls - Jess/Lorelai - PG-13 - 500 words) There are things Jess doesn't do. Like kiss Lorelai Gilmore. Spoilers up to episode 2:5 - Nick & Nora/Sid & Nancy. A remix of No Sid, No Nancy by karathephantom.

Loyalties And Marinara Sauce (Bizarre Love Triangle Remix) (Dark Angel - Logan, Alec, Max - PG - 250 words) "So what is this, a two man job or something?" A remix of Loyalties And Marinara Sauce by amory_vain.

Not much of a roundup, actually, since I only wrote two fics, but whatever. I blame vidding, and winter; hopefully there will be more in September.


Dark Angel

Cake (or, Other Four-Letter Words) (Alec/Max - PG-13 - 904 words) She blames Normal for all of this. Spoilers up to episode 2:21 - Freak Nation.


NCIS

False Witness (Tony/Kate - PG - 270 words) "It's not what it looked like."

Still watching NCIS; we've just started season four, and I'm still having Twilight malaise. I still love Abby more than anything, and I like Ziva, but I loved Kate, and I miss the banter between her and Tony; I'll have to see how the next couple of seasons turn out.

(Oh, and if anyone has recs - Tony/Kate, femslash, gen, or anything particularly outstanding - I'd love to hear them.)

Must send in my apocalyptothon draft, and remind myself it's just a draft. Also, read the Buffy season eight comics, because I've had the second volume sitting around for, like, ever. And keep vidding, in the hopes that I will - eventually - have a completed vid to offer.

In the meantime, I have fic:

Cake (or, Other Four-Letter Words) (Alec/Max - PG-13 - 904 words) She blames Normal for all of this. Spoilers up to episode 2:21 - Freak Nation.

Written for jam_pony_fic's recent mini-ficathon, for maroon_sue, who requested Max tries to bake a cake for her boyfriend. I took a (very) small liberty with the prompt, since established relationships aren't really my forte, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out - I had planned for them to get down and dirty more figuratively and less literally, but this way's good, too.

Nine fics this month, in six fandoms plus a couple of crossovers:


Dark Angel

Consolation Prize (Original Cindy/OFC - PG - 230 words) "She is so checking me out."


Doctor Who

Genealogy (Eight - G - 100 words) "I'm half-human." Spoilers up to episode 4:13 - Journey's End.

Supersonic (Rose/Sarah Jane - PG-13 - 100 words) There are many uses for a sonic screwdriver (or sonic lipstick).


She's The Man

Token (Olivia/Viola - PG - 130 words) She tells herself it's for charity.


Stargate SG-1

The Case Of The Missing Jello (Among Others) (Teal'c, Vala - PG - 1228 words) Five times Teal'c and Vala cheated.


Torchwood

Fitter Happier (Gwen/Martha - PG-13 - 2859 words) After Martha joins Torchwood, she and Gwen land themselves in a series of sticky situations. Spoilers up to episode 2:13 - Exit Wounds.


The West Wing

In Da Club (Ensemble - PG-13 - 200 words) "This is a strip club."


Crossovers

Dead Man's Party (Studio 60/Sports Night - Jeannie/Kim - PG-13 - 297 words) Just another Studio 60 wrap party.

Sunset Boulevard (The West Wing/Studio 60 - Ginger/Jeannie - PG-13 - 300 words) Sam's already complained twice about being offered jobs in development, and Ginger's not even sure what that is.


Most of these were written for International Day of Femslash plus the femslash08 fic exchange (you can blame talumin for the crossover prompts). The Case of the Missing Jello was written for sg_fignewton's Teal'c Alphabet Soup, and Genealogy was my contribution to post-Journey's End fic - unofficially subtitled "In which Eight is not a lying liar who lies, but in fact just got his tenses a bit mixed up," because the entire concept amuses me. It also reminds me that I was watching the Doctor Who movie a few weeks ago and stopped partway through (which is something I did to at least three movies in the past month), so I should really finish that.

Title: Consolation Prize
Fandom: Dark Angel
Pairing(s): Original Cindy/OFC
Word Count: 230
Rating: PG

Summary: "She is so checking me out."

Notes: Written for International Day of Femslash.
