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

Okay, so, I actually do remember saying I wasn't going to up and vanish again this year. But! Technically I haven't been gone, just not posting a lot, I'm still up to date on my friends list etc. So, since I haven't been active enough to post one of these in a while, here's a roundup of everything I've been up to since January (hint: not a lot).


Under Covers (Covert Affairs - Annie, Auggie - PG - 3058 words) Auggie's sick (but not if you ask him). Annie's playing nurse (but not if you ask her).

Dictionaries For Dummies (Sexicon Remix) (Glee - Brittany/Santana - R - 1341 words) Four words Brittany doesn't know (and one she kind of does).

Set Fire To This Town (The West Wing - Josh/Donna - NC-17 - 4657 words) What's a girl like you doing in a place like this? Spoilers up to episode 6:15 - Freedonia.

Space Invaders (Wizards of Waverly Place - Justin/Alex - PG-13 - 16,945 words) Justin was right. (Of course.) Which sucks for Alex. Especially since it means aliens are now on their way to Earth, and, oh yeah, they want to destroy the world. So, someone should probably stop them? Spoilers up to episode 4:1 - Alex Tells The World.


... and a vid:

Don't Stop Movin' (Primeval, Ensemble) Team ARC = awesome. (Mostly.)


Firstly: OMG West Wing fic. No, I'm not going through a fannish resurgence, just posting fic I wrote ... three or so years ago? I have no idea why I didn't post it at the time, but oh well, it's done now. (I actually have more of these somewhere, I think, but since they're just comment fics I'll probably leave them.)

Secondly: Accomplishments, yay! For a while there I legit wasn't sure I'd actually finish my apocabigbang fic (the horrors!), but I pulled through. Note to self: procrastination does not work on big bangs. I also managed to get my helpbrazil2011 fic done, which is of the good; I actually had a bit of a mixed experience with charity auctions this time around, since my qldfloodauction bidder never got back to me, nor did one of the people whose fic I won, but I guess that kind of thing happens. The fic I did end up getting, however, was fantastic - lotus0kid wrote me Better Off Ted fic, and you should totally read it if you're into that kind of thing (aka. the kind of thing that is amazing).

And I wrote a pinch hit for remix, which was fun, since I talked myself out of actually signing up this time around (disappointing, but realistically a very good idea). I'm totally doing apocalyptothon, though.

Thirdly: I signed up for femslash11! Which should be okay, since I have holidays coming up in a few weeks, and I really love this ficathon. Also, if there's anybody out there who shares my fandoms (*cough* Sonny With a Chance) and wanted to maybe sign up too, that would be okay. Or whatever.

( Statistics, questions, etc. )

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.

( Individual projects )


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.

Title: Dream Days At The Hotel Existence
Fandom: Glee RPF
Pairing(s): Mark Salling/Dianna Agron
Word Count: 1172
Rating: PG-13

Summary: "Don't you have your own room?"

Notes: Written for christ_chexx_4u for prettylightsfic.

( Nobody knows just how it feels today )

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.

Title: If I Could Talk I'd Tell You
Fandom: Glee
Pairing(s): Artie/Tina
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG

Summary: There's a lot she wants to tell him.

Notes: Spoilers for episode 1:9 - Wheels.

( When I can smile I'll let you know )

Ack, why can I not write? I'm trying to finish my spook_me David/Selena fic, and I love the premise, like, a lot, but actually getting it down is like pulling teeth. Yesterday I wrote 200 words! This was an improvement over the last four days. God, why is it hard?

Far more awesomely: prettylightsfic is running again this year! Besides yuletide, it looks like this may be the only holiday fic exchange I participate in this year (unless something new and awesome suddenly pops up - I would not say no to something Disney-themed, or even Glee), so I'm very excited. The poll to gauge interest in fandoms is up now, so if you have any interest in a multifandom RPF exchange, you should totally consider signing up, and go vote! And, I'm just saying - if you really love me (and are genuinely interested in participating), and wanted to suggest Disney RPF as a write-in fandom? I would totally not be opposed to that.

Since I have no new fic to offer (I'm still working on those meme prompt fics, I swear), have some episode reactions:

( Glee )

( One Tree Hill )

The last episode of Greek wasn't my favourite, but Ashleigh is adorable. As always. I'm kind of loving Eastwick (even though I'm not fully caught up yet), which I only really started watching because I love Jaime Ray Newman and Rebecca Romijn, but it's awesomely cracky and kind of enchanting. And I'm watching Flash Forward, mostly at talumin's behest, but the only things I really care about are a) Janis, b) John Cho, and c) WHAT WAS UP WITH THE RANDOM FREAKING WALLABY? Um.

ETA: Haha, this window has been open so long that I managed to watch The Plan before I finished posting! Thinky thoughts to come, possibly?

So, apparently this fic is going to be even longer than the last one. I still remember when the longest fic I'd written was 3000 words.

A couple of TV reaction posts, because I do occasionally still pay attention to stuff that isn't Wizards of Waverly Place:

( Glee )

( Greek )

More briefly, and hopefully non-spoilery: Ryan and Esposito continue to be totally married on Castle (and possibly my all-time boyslash OTP? Like, I know I don't have a lot of those, but these guys, I ship them so very hard ♥). And I'm just going to assume that whenever Gwen and Morgana weren't onscreen in Merlin, they were off shagging like bunnies, y/y?
