List of Fic
Well, I guess this is kind of like a masterlist for fic posted to this journal. Right. I'm a little worried about making my stuff easier to find, but I'm told this is a good thing, right? Right. In alphabetical order by fandom and then fic, with abbreviated summaries. (Right now it's just a list. I'll make links and stuff as I go along. WIPs are marked with an asterix after the title. If you'd like to read more or other fic in any of these fandoms, you could also check my memories--I have lists of fic I have read and enjoyed linked there.)
(Note: Many of these, as you will see, were originally posted to anon kink memes--not because they are extremely kinky or even graphic, but just because I'm mostly cowardly.)
As the World Turns (Luke/Reid)
--Drabble Series (in progress); Part one "Yes, we will fight about this."; part two Lie To Me; and part three Click your heels together.
--10 Random Facts about Reid Oliver, a meme ficlet here.
Donald Strachey Movies
-- A Brief Vacation*, my attempt at action/adventure. WIP, and when I eventually finish it, there will be a sequel. (only two parts posted so far)
-- Cookies, sort of a drabble thing, just a moment between the boys.
-- Gold, written for the ficathon. Contains Donald/Kyle as well as Donald/Tim. (Incidentally, this is probably the fic from this group I like the best, and that worked out closest to what I'd hoped for. It wrote itself, and is the first time I wrote a fic for anything so far in advance. You'd think that would help my anxiety.)
--drabble
Star Trek (AOS)
-- Be Your Hero--for Team Jones, for the ship wars--for the fairy tale prompt. Based on the Snow Queen.
--Brussel Sprouts*--for one of my hurt/comfort bingo prompts, don't even ask. WIP.
-- Can't Hurt Me Now, a Gaila ficlet, for a hurt/comfort bingo square.
-- Defining Frechet Space*--a Chekov ficlet, also prompted by the anon kink meme. WIP.
-- Elective Procedure, a kink meme ficlet that isn't really very kinky. Jim/Bones pairing, originally posted in the buckelup meme.

-- Home for the Holidays--Christmas on the Enterprise!
-- Requisitions (Five Times Drabble)--Captains need to deal with requisition forms ... (still the kink meme)
-- Surviving--McCoy returns to the Enterprise as the sole survivor of an away mission, but as Kirk realizes, he doesn't return whole. (yup, posted originally to the kink meme)
Star Trek (TOS)
Away Mission--established relationship threesome fic (without the sex, sorry!), for the h/c table at the h/c comm.
Treatment Parameters--hurt/comforty Spock/McCoy, post For the World is Hollow (posted originally in Spiced Peaches) http://ivorysilk.livejournal.com/19536.html
Untitled mpreg ficlety thing (written for the anon kink meme)
Untitled ficlety thing redux (written for the anon kink meme)
Weiss Kreuz (most of these are on ff.net, but some of these are here)
--Bitter Aftertaste: Side Bish. Ken joins the team in London. Ken wants to pick up where he and Aya left off in Tokyo. Aya doesn't. But a man can change his mind ... can't he? (kink meme prompt fic)
--Hanging On--Side B, Ken and Aya (prompted by a prompt from fic on demand)
--Laying Blame--silly mission fic, featuring Ken and Yohji, for the Weiss Day fic exchange.

White Collar
-- Anklet fic* (untitled as yet)--comment ficlet. No pairing yet, Peter and Neal. (WIP)
-- Being An Artist Kid ... (a Five Times fic) "Being an Artist Kid Can be Hard, But Having an Artist Kid Can be Worse, or: Five Times Peter told Neal he was Proud of Him", written for the 2014 Reverse Big Bang. (No, it's not Neal being immature, it's actually just another de-aged/kid!fic.)

-- Four Christmas Cards--Advent fic, inspired by Alcatraz cards. "At Christmas time you will be allowed to mail (4) Christmas cards."
-- Half-Pint Neal--comment ficlet. Gen.
---- Half-Pint Squared--sequel to Half-Pint Neal, featuring more de-aged Neal.
-- Illustrations--Almost at the end of his sentence, waiting for those last few weeks of good behaviour, Neal agrees to work on a dangerous case with another team. Peter thinks it's a bad idea. Peter's right. NC-17.
-- Loyalties--Neal doesn't want to go undercover this time. After the Fowler debacle, Peter doesn't much care about what legitimate work Neal does or does not want to do. (kink meme prompt fic, rated R. No pairing, really, although you can read whatever you want in.)
-- Rarely Pure--I filled my own kink meme prompt. Be warned. For pretty much everything. P/E/N. Rated R.
-- Reporting--Elizabeth grieves. Rated PG. Character death.
-- Swan Dive, a short genfic Checkmate post-ep, to satisfy my need for seeing the aftermath of all that whumpage of Neal (although, really, they all get pretty whumped.)

-- Zombie Emergency Preparedness. Ficlet, written for a prompt by virgo76. When the zombies come, Neal is ready. Gen.
XMen (Movieverse)
--just a drabble, I used to write them
-- Suzy and her Steamboat, a very odd Wolverine/Gambit drabbly thing, and the first thing I wrote here.
Just a quick note on feedback: If you are reading any of my stuff, and have the time and inclination, I love comments. Of any kind.
The long version of the feedback note is this: It's apparently in vogue right now to tell readers the "correct" way to leave comments or feedback (and this changes every few years, from it's best to leave long detailed concrit to the best feedback is "I loved this!", depending on towards which side the pendulum swings), but IMHO all that is is the writer's preference about the kind of feedback they would prefer, if you were inclined to leave feedback at all. Some writers like hearing a lot from their readers, and some writers just want to hear that people are reading. Everyone's different.
[Now, obviously, if you like the writer's work and want them to keep writing, it behooves you to coddle said writer in their whims. If you don't enjoy what they are creating, then, well, this is also their fandom, and if they are enjoying themselves, it's may not be your wish to encourage them, but it's also impolite to interfere with their fun. I also always think gentle concrit is never a bad thing, especially for a young or new writer, but people post creative works for different reasons, and not everyone who writes fic is serious about writing, really. So YMMV.]
Because fanfic writers write for love, not money, and most of us do it in our spare time while holding down jobs and doing our laundry and dealing with family stuff. Writers of fanfic don't *owe* anyone fic, really (unless, of course, you've committed to writing in an exchange or auction)--and to be honest, that kind of attitude annoys me. I write because I love it, and because I want to, and when I can--but in terms of priorities, it is very much a hobby, and down the list after the job/family/life stuff. However, neither do readers owe a writer feedback--writers write and post hopefully for the joy of it--no one has forced them into it, and they aren't owed anything. Writers that demand feedback also annoy me.
BUT.
Fandom is a community, and for me, fanfic writing is a symbiotic community. When you write, it is seriously awesome to know someone enjoyed your work, or even just took time to read your effort. Seriously awesome. And hearing positive feedback makes you want to write *more*. Because all of us like being rewarded for things we do. So if you want a writer to spend their time writing you more fic, feed their ego. It's simple, and it works. Tell them you are reading and you like what they are writing. Tell them if you are hoping for more (but politely--some writers are extra-sensitive to any kind of pressure). And never think that because a fic was posted a while ago or because the writer already has several comments they won't care about yours. Most writers treasure each comment. They re-read them as motivation. They grin and step a little more lightly after receiving each one.
And when I read (because I read way more than I write), I kind of think it is very cool for me to be able to communicate with some of the authors I love, who create works that cheer me up, that comfort me, that make me sob into my tea or bubble with joy. I get excited by receiving replies from my fandom heroes and admired authors, you have no idea (it's like, they spoke to me! ME!) For me ultimately, it's the interaction with other readers and writers that will never stop being amazing and incredible to me, and the part of fandom I adore the most.
(And to be honest, the only times I offer concrit is where I genuinely feel I have something more to say about the piece--so it has to be really damn good to cause me to think enough to have something more to say at all. I used to offer conceit freely, esp. when I really admired the author and the work really moved me, but now I only do when the author is explicit about wanting it, because it does take a lot more time and effort than simply pushing the kudos button--which is why I am also this explicit about encouraging my readers to send it my way if they wish.)
So, what is the point of all this? Well, partly, it's just cuz I wanted to weigh in, and partly just in order to say that, to let you know my preference as to comments on my own stuff, which is this: If you are leaving me comments, or want to, please do! It doesn't even need to be positive--I kind of am trying to get better at writing as I go, and for my part, I really want to know what you thought, good or bad. I want to know what worked for you, and what didn't, or what the fic made you think about. If you want to speculate on where a wip is going or have ideas for a sequel, hit me! It doesn't need to be some great brilliant thing--if you really enjoyed it, I'd love it if you let me know; if you want to tell me why something in particular worked for you (or didn't), I would love that even more. I'm definitely geeky enough to get a total thrill out of the fact that (after having gotten up the courage to share my scribblings in public) someone out there I may not ever know might bother to read and actually like something I've posted. But each time I post, I am terrified that no one is going to read it and, that if they do, they hate it. And either way, I'd really rather know. :-)
