I conceived “Blazing Shields” as a Sam/Steve story, but then I realized that Bucky/Sam might map better onto the Jim/Bart template. But if Bucky’s filling the Jim slot, what do I do with Steve? He’s one of my favorites and I don’t want to leave him out entirely ( Read more... )

Marvel Cinematic Universe, human weaponization and objectification. Set to Aqua's "Barbie Girl."
I actually have enough of an idea for this that I might try to vid it, if I knew where to start. No doubt there are tutorials out there.

A peaceful mining community of kobolds bands together its resources and hires seven badass ne'er-do-wells to help them fight off the roving bands of adventurers who keep stomping through, stealing their stuff, and murdering any resistors.

So I was thinking about potential endings for "Flyer Farmer Seamstress Spy." Rarity is probably the closest Bill Haydon equivalent, which would make her a bit too obvious as the mole to anyone who's familiar with the Le Carre side of the source material. I actually want her to be the red herring - she is passing stuff on to the Ponies' Republic ( Read more... )

The theme so far for my newest original fantasy project seems to be mixed-gender odd couples - the two relationships I've fleshed out so far are a het married couple who are sort of an exploration of what could happen with a quiet nerdy guy and a Manic Pixie Dream Girl ten years down the road, and a Butch Girl/Femme Boy moiraillegiance.

"Flyer, Farmer, Seamstress, Spy" - a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic futurefic in the Stale Beer (flat punch?) espionage genre. Everyone's several years older, and working in some capacity for the Equestria Secret Service. Celestia suspects that security has been compromised and asks Twilight Sparkle to play Whack-A-Mole. Unfortunately, ( Read more... )

I don't write horror, but I just thought of a lovely way to screw with genre-savvy characters ( Read more... )

This is probably just because I've been thinking more about Disability In Fiction lately because of Galatea, but lately I've been feeling the urge to write a pastiche of Victorian girls' fiction in which the token Ill Girl (whom I've decided to name Emma Temple) gets a happy ending that doesn't involve either dying edifyingly or a miracle cure. I' ( Read more... )

The world does not need a Dark Magical Girl based on young Magneto.

I'm currently calling her Erika Eisenhardt. She's a few years older than the heroine and tall for her age, to make it a little more plausible that she could pass for an adult when necessary, since she's living on her own and traveling a lot. Physically, I see her as a Tall, ( Read more... )

I need a plot. Or at least a premise. Right now all I have are a few characters and worldbuilding details, and a bunch of superpowered fantasy-Asian teenage girls chasing each other around fantasy-Asia in a vaguely homoerotic way. (And one of the adult characters is basically a transgendered firebending Hindu priestess ( Read more... )
