OK, here's the intoabar fic, in its finished form! I feel like there's a lot I could say about this story, and why it felt like it was kicking my ass for a while, and so on. But it's probably better to just let it speak for itself. So:

Title: Stories Yet Untold
Author: astrogirl2
Prompt: Jarod walks into a bar and meets... Mr. Gold!
Fandoms: The Pretender/Once ( Read more... )

OK, here's the last of my Trope Bingo ficlets, giving me a great big BINGO! on the last row of my card. I... kind of couldn't not write this fandom for this particular prompt.

Title: This Is Not a Simulation
Fandom: The Pretender
Prompt: secret twin/doppelganger
Character: "Gemini"
Summary: This is Project Gemini.
Rating/Warnings: PG. ( Read more... )

OK, next meme ficlet, this time for redstarrobot, who asked for Sydney and "blankets." This one turned out to be an actual drabble.

Title: A Sense of Security
Fandom: The Pretender
Characters: Sydney, Jacob
Rating/Warnings: G-rated, although it touches on some dark stuff from canon. Spoilers for Sydney's backstory.
Length: 100 words

( A Sense of Security )

Here's an entertaining little writing meme, stolen from lost_spook:

1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.

OK, here we go, five alphabetized fandoms:

1. Blake's 7
2. Doctor Who
3. Farscape
4. The Pretender
5. Venture Bros.

Here's a little bit of The Pretender fic I wrote for fan_flashworks. The prompt was "breakfast."

Title: Day One
Fandom: The Pretender
Rating: PG
Length: ~430 words
Content notes: While there's nothing graphic in this story, The Pretender canon does disturbing things to children, some of which are implied here.
Summary: Young Jarod's first breakfast at the ( Read more... )

See, I am still working on these! This one is for kerravonsen, who requested "Backstory from your Jarod and Jenny stories; show in more detail how they met." Well, OK, then!

Title: The Critical Moment
Fandoms: The Pretender/Doctor Who
Rating/Warnings: G. Possible spoilers for "The Doctor's Daughter."
Length: ~500 words

So, here's the thing. fan_flashworks announced their new current challenge, which is "five things." And as I was trying to think of something to do for that, I remembered that once upon a time, I had this idea about maybe writing a series of tiny little crossovers between The Pretender and various other fandoms. Hey, I thought, maybe I could do that! ( Read more... )

This one is for kerravonsen, who suggested "Harry Potter/Pretender: Jarod is the Defence Against The Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts." Technically, she was requester number six of what was supposed to be five, since sneaky jhall1 got in just ahead of her, but I a) am feeling generous, and b) thought for sure that there ought to be something interesting to do with ( Read more... )

No, I hadn't forgotten about the ficlets I promised people! I've just been busy. And not very creatively juicy, after all.

Anyway, this one is for graycardinal, whose prompt was, "Pretender: Jarod Pretends to be a Time Lord. (Why?)" This is almost too obvious an answer to the "why?", I fear. And, yes, I'm aware that this idea really, really needs to be ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know, I'm being a bit spammy today. But after taking forever to get around to the last one of these, I thought I'd try to make up for it a bit by being zippy with this one. This is for graycardinal, who requested, "Jarod encounters the Master; the Master blinks." This is probably even more snippet-y than usual; I'll leave it to you to imagine the ( Read more... )
