I signed up for sherlock_remix. Who wants to join me? All you need are 5 fics of at least 500 words. Stories aren't due until March 30, so you'd have lots of time to write. But, if remixing isn't your thing, you could just save up prompts for the latest fest at sherlockmas. They will be taking prompts from February 1 to February 6, and then there will be a omment fic ( Read more... )

I signed up for holmestice. My holiday exchange dance card is now full: one for HP, one for Sherlock, and the December wishlist fest at where_no_woman. I'm not signing up for anything else unless I finish one of those stories very early. I think I put way too much info in holmestice my sign-up form, but I guess that means my writer has more to choose from, so yay? It ( Read more... )

How do you guys think of titles for your stories? It is the one aspect of writing that has never gotten any easier for me, and I am already dreading the title search for each of my upcoming deadlines.

The little Gaila/Uhura ficlet I wrote last night for the awesome ladies fest was so much fun that I figured it wouldn't hurt to troll for more prompts. Sure, I have an Ianto fic that's not too far away from being finished, and I need to keep working on Torchwood stories so I can be comfortable with this crossover big bang I'm allegedly writing, ( Read more... )

First, I am shocked that secretsolitaire was the only person to correctly identify my remix (which I posted here if you missed it.) I didn't do the what's-in-my-id meme when it came around because I know the answer: my id wants women being strong and vulnerable at the same time, preferably in situations where they are rescuing or taking charge of male characters ( Read more... )

I declare my remix done! I can't say that it's a perfect story, but it's definitely the best story I could make it. I think there are probably still some holes in the plot, but then, the same is true for a good 90% of Star Trek episodes. I shall claim that I was being faithful to the source material*, and hope that people will overlook plot ( Read more... )

I can't believe I was seriously considering defaulting this afternoon and now I have 2300 words! I ended up scrapping the character I originally wanted to write about, which was disappointing, but I feel much less lost now. In fact, the introductory scenes are totally finished, and the big pivotal scene is at least 75% done. I actually know what ( Read more... )

So, when I started this entry a couple hours ago, it began like this ( Read more... )

I am trying to talk myself down from a ledge right now. Yes, the fic is due on Sunday, and no, I will not be home Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday nights, nor do I work in an environment where I can steal a couple hours to work on it during the day. But I will still have Thursday and Friday nights to work, and also time on Saturday and Sunday. If ( Read more... )

boosette posted some intriguing drabble prompts at where_no_woman. There are already some intriguing stories, like this one about Kira Nerys and freedom, and this sexy and evocative snapshot of Kirk/Chapel.I feel frustrated because it's been so long since I've finished a story. By which I mean a *real* story and not just some commentfic or meme answers. Every night, ( Read more... )
