Discworld: Monstrous Regiment. All Characters, All Prompts. (I did it! Haha! :-)
Fandom: Monstrous Regiment (a Discworld Group)
Characters: All of Them. A Veritable Cast of Thousands. :-)
Prompt: All of Them.
Word Count: 100 - 2907 (See "Info" for individual fics).
Rating: K - MA (See "Info" for individual fics).
Summary: While a number of these fics include (and are explicitely about) other characters in MR, all of the stories follow an arc that traces Mal's life from when she was a child (under 50), right up until she dies (permanently, I mean).
As such, I can summarize the entire 100-fic project as "Mal's life-story, with interludes". They have been numbered for your convenience, so that you can read them in the correct order. :-)
(Yes, there are some discrepancies... I didn't work out how vampires age until I'd already written a couple of fics making reference to how old Mal is... For the sake of clarity: While some fics suggest otherwise (oops), Mal actually joined the army at the age of about 122. She would have looked about twenty (by human reconning) at that point. (50 years = about '15' in Vampire life-span... After that, they appear to age one 'human year' for every ten years that they live... They have a natural life-span of about 1,000 years).
Notes and/or warnings: As you will quickly discover, in my ficverse, Mal is gay-gay-gay, and always has been. As such, there is femslash a-go-go all through this stuff. Polly features prominantly. (I state for the record: Yay for believable slash!)
There is humour. There is fluff. There is explicite sex. There is romance. There is True Love. There is all the blessed joy of our existence. There is also post-traumatic stress, attempted suicide, successful suicide (sort of), rape, murder, terror, incest, and all the pain and terror of our existence. (Don't worry, the "Info" sections for each fic will warn you about the nastier stuff... and the fluffier stuff).
I hope I have presented them well. :-)
Read on, if you dare. :-)

Prompt: All of Them.
Word Count: 100 - 2907 (See "Info" for individual fics).

Summary: While a number of these fics include (and are explicitely about) other characters in MR, all of the stories follow an arc that traces Mal's life from when she was a child (under 50), right up until she dies (permanently, I mean).
As such, I can summarize the entire 100-fic project as "Mal's life-story, with interludes". They have been numbered for your convenience, so that you can read them in the correct order. :-)
(Yes, there are some discrepancies... I didn't work out how vampires age until I'd already written a couple of fics making reference to how old Mal is... For the sake of clarity: While some fics suggest otherwise (oops), Mal actually joined the army at the age of about 122. She would have looked about twenty (by human reconning) at that point. (50 years = about '15' in Vampire life-span... After that, they appear to age one 'human year' for every ten years that they live... They have a natural life-span of about 1,000 years).
