So I decided to take the plunge after all and posted on AO3, after an interesting talk with Cavendish.

His logic: Well if there are only 73 stories for that fandom, there certainly should be more than enough room for my little oddball. Also, how on Earth was I supposed to meet new people to play with if I didn’t go out there… ;)

So, here we go. ( Read more... )

Just like the header says.

When I watched The Nice Guys this weekend, something in my twisted, crossover-loving brain just went click. So I began to write, and now, three days later I find myself sitting on the finished draft of a 1400 word Nice Guys/X-Files story in which an older Holland March essentially gets rescued by a certain FBI agent.

Yup, I can write that, I thought. Turned out both characters strictly refused to get into talking. Or maybe the ( Read more... )

Watching an episode of Star Trek: DS9 every evening for the past couple of weeks apparently has had its consequences. For the first time in a long while I sat down and wrote a bit of fan fiction. About 850 words. A brief glimpse at Julian Bashir right after the "In Purgatory's Shadow /By Inferno's Light" two-parter ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning with the idea of writing a lengthier entry on Jane Campion's Keats movie Bright Star (For the interested: the last three years of John Keats' life, seen through the lens of his relationship with Fanny Brawne; a movie typical of Jane Campion as a director insofar as Bright Star's superb visuals, added by a strong focus on the ( Read more... )

As the end of the year is fast approaching and I've seen several people taking the opportunity to post self-reflexive entries on their writing: What do you do with the stories that never quite made it? I am not speaking about the unfinished ones, but rather the ones that you finished but chose to hold back for one reason or other ( Read more... )
