2011 writing round-up
I'm thinking I should have started this post much earlier today. Oh, well. I'm also hoping like hell I actually tagged all of these with 'fic: postings' or I'll never find them all. (One link to each, usually to Dreamwidth, which still has subjects on comments, or to AO3.)
Wheat Hair & Weddings, Highlander/Lord Peter Wimsey books. From my 1000 regrets challenge. (03/23/11)
Changes, Highlander Aidan-verse. Marc's academic future. (04/26/11)
Old Dogs & Tricks, Highlander Aidan-verse. Methos, writing fanfic. (04/28/11)
Not Heated, Highlander. Methos and a taller tale than usual, aka my very late inappropriate elf challenge fic. (04/28/11)
Old Friends & Silver, Burn Notice, gen. Sam, Mike, and favors you don't want called in. (05/01/11)
No Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth, Burn Notice, gen. Fiona and her family. (05/02/11)
Horseshoes, Hand Grenades, Homicidal Maniacs, HL/X-Files, gen. Mulder and McCormick hunting a serial killer. (05/04/11)
Blind (As) Luck, HL/due South, gen. Armando Langoustini, Ray Vecchio, and the Immortal Cimmoli. (05/23/11)
Grey Cats in the Dark, HL/X-Files, gen. Cory and Krycek, trading alibis and getting things done. (08/04/11)
Grim Castle, Buffy/Discworld, gen. Buffy, Susan Stol Helit, and book retrieval. (08/20/11)
Girls' Knights Out, SG-1/HL, gen. Amanda and Vala drinking and discussing sex and thieving, while the men (sensibly) flee the field. (08/21/11)
Kindred Spirits, HL/Leverage, gen. Sophie, Rebecca, and tea. (08/22/11)
Spice of Life, Leverage/HL (Aidan-verse), gen. Joe's temporary bouncers. (08/22/11)
Vintage Appreciation, Forever Knight/Southern Vampire aka True Blood. LaCroix, Erik Northman, and vintages. (08/24/11)
Dates, HL/Forever Knight, gen. Schanke forgot the date -- again. (08/28/11)
5 Things Steve Rogers Gave Up To Be Captain America, Captain America/Marvel movies, gen. Just what it says. (10/01/11)
Recoveries, HL/White Collar, gen. Methos acting as a repossession agent for Marcus Constantine. The letter's being delivered to Neal Caffrey.
You See Two Geek Geniuses And Several Computers, Warehouse 13/Leverage, gen. The Leverage team were in a maze of twisty passages, all alike. Written for Girl Saves Boy (or the World). I was really pleased with how this came out. (10/13/11)
Breaking, Buffy: the Vampire Slayer (Buffy/HL in one ending), gen, horror. Drusilla breaking and entering. Written for Spook_Me and honestly, it just doesn't do what I wanted it to do. I think I may go back and try writing it in 2nd person again or something. (10/26/11)
Friend of the Family, Highlander (HL), Aidan-verse, gen. Marc's family meeting Adam Pierson for the first time. (12/14/11)
Apocalypse Drinking, HL/Dresden Files, gen. Methos, MacAnally's beer, and Wardens Luccio and Ramirez. (12/17/11)
Hippocrates' Garden, HL/Buffy, gen. Oz, Gregor, and a medical clinic's cashbox. (12/17/11)
Occupy Immortality, HL. Cory's sympathies are with the Occupiers. The FBI is still unamused with him. (12/17/11)
We'd Better Switch the Guests To Decaf, HL/White Collar. In which El is immortal and Peter's managing a crisis. (12/17/11)
[Note to self: Post all of these, Apocalypse to We'd Better Switch, to the AO3!]
Reading You Five By Five, Leverage/The Losers. Eliot, Jensen, and an ongoing competition. (12/18/11)
Not Fall To Pieces, due South, gen. The 27th Precinct and zombies. No, I still don't know why I did this. (12/28/11)
The Veneer Job part 1 of 4 or 5, HL/Leverage/Undercover Blues, gen (might yet go to slash). Part one is posted, so I guess I'll count it. In which the Leverage team decides to steal an FBI agent. (12/31/11) [Note to self: Put this on A03!)
Looking at this... I wrote more this year than I'd been afraid I did. And I wrote stories in a lot of fandoms, some of which I hadn't written before. I didn't finish many long pieces, although I've got some that are moving and one that needs yet another edit (this is me rolling my eyes at myself). But I've started several, and I'm still working on them. I've written Aidan-verse, and started posting old Aidan-verse to the AO3 (Sirocco is next and would be up already but the holidays hit, followed by the holiday doldrums). I still need to post some things to A03, and HL Fiction, and definitely I need to update the Eyrie.
As for the stories I've been working on that just aren't done yet? I've got 11 fanfic stories pinned to the recent list on Word:
Auld Lang Syne (Alex & Xan and the Scoobies),
a Buffy/Covert Affairs crossover (working title: Oz, Auggie, and the were-jackals),
Depth of Field (the next Southern Comfort story, now up at 10K words and still growing more plot),
Joe Dawson, BAMF (SG-1 crossover and thet title sums it up),
the HL/Miss Marple crossover for which I desperately need a title,
Sean Burns & the Four Musketeers (please don't let Matthew show up; he's working for Richelieu; and I need a title),
Some Party (El Burke & Joe Dawson both being their awesome selves),
Through Different Eyes (which needs about 1000 words cut out; that's the one I'm rolling my eyes at),
Walking Shadows (Krycek, Oz, and Cory dealing with a mage who walks in, and with, shadows),
Ways of Love (Matthew McCormick & Eliot Spencer trying to find a serial killer before she finds another victim... or them),
and The Wild Hunt (last of the Doppelganger/Storm Crow series).
Plus, obviously, The Veneer Job, which has 3 or 4 more parts to go, and a bunch of challenge ideas I need to do something with. (I posted one tonight in replies, so I'll dig it out tomorrow into its own entry). And I have got to write that HL/Eureka fic, damn it. That might be tomorrow too.
So, yeah. Not a bad year at all, really. Right. Tomorrow I'll do the favorite lines meme, but tonight, I think I'd better go to bed. Night, all!
