This is, as near as I can figure, a complete list of all the stories I have finished in the past five years. If I were really going to be a diligent archivist of my fannish work, I suppose I should also hunt down the stuff I wrote in the HP fandom-- but I'm not cruel enough to inflict that on anyone reading this journal. There may be some ficlets belonging to various fandoms hidden in the comments of this journal as well; I'm working on finding them all and organizing them on this list as time goes by. Most of my cartoons and doodles should also be listed here as well.
Many, although not all, of my stories can be found on
my AO3 account.

Notes: Once upon a time,
svmadelyn ran a BadFic Mini Ficathon. This is my take on the badfic prompt I received.
SGA Comics
Lost City Comics, Part OneSummary: It's not so much a story, you understand-- it's more like a very pathetic comic. Because I was thinking, hey, you know what'd be cool? if someone did a little mini-superhero comic book about Rodney McKay, Man of Relatively Thick Tin, and then I thought, it's too bad I'm not that good of an artist, and then I thought--

A Torchwood Anti-Story Thing, Possibly Called "A solitude of sky."Rating: R, because I swear a lot, even when I'm not writing a proper story.
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Summary: This is nine thousand fucking words worth of a post-Children of Earth Torchwood story outline, where I try to fix the whole Ianto thing without retconning the world. It's an epistolary stream-of-conscious blathery outline thing, people. Nine thousand words of this shit! What the hell was I thinking? And it has been staring angrily at me from my Google docs for, like, almost two years. It is time to release it into the wild. (Perpetual WiP, if you hadn't guessed.)

Sherlock BBC Fiction
The ObviousRating: PG

Sometimes, if the boredom were especially bad, he would do all at once.
