For the last couple of years I've done an AO3 meme, so I thought I'd repeat it this year and see if there were any changes.  Figures for 2017 and 2016 are in brackets.  I'm a month later than last year, but it won't make a great deal of difference overall.  Total works this year = 692 [543, 400] so a steady increase.  This year I've also written a ( Read more... )

The last four questions, two of each were easy to answer, two caused a slight problem, but I've got over (or round) that!

Firstly, from scfrankles Adam Carter (Spooks) and Greg Lestrade are learning a new language together.  What language and why?They met at an evening class, but Greg was curious as to why Adam, who was clearly good at languages, was there ( Read more... )

I was extremely fortunate in receiving four ficlets for Chocolate Box - all of which were for Forever.  It would appear I cornered the market in them.

To my utter surprise, I have written every single prompt for this year's JWP (okay, technically there are two more to do at this point, but I'm not stopping now).  Normally I only write for the prompts which appeal, but this time I was over half way through before I found something I was less keen on, and by that time I wasn't going to miss out ( Read more... )

I was discussing this theme on Twitter with lozenger8 and said I had sufficient thoughts that I would write a blog post.  And then promptly didn't - in part because that was the day I then went to see Titus Andronicus, which isn't condusive to such thoughts.  But now it's come up again as the Trope for the Day on DW's ushobwri and brumeier has asked for our ( Read more... )

During the past year I have got to know a number of people from ushobwri Writers who are generally in different fandoms, so I would be unlikely to come across them otherwise.  One of these is aome whose request "You know, since Sherlock doesn't seem to be the sort to care about gifts (either given or received), perhaps something gift-oriented might be ( Read more... )

Over the last few months I've taken part in a few exchanges, and received some excellent fics, so I'm now sharing them with you:

The first was for Night on a Fic Mountain: Dinner with the Morgans by ArgyllePirateWD, a Forever fic which hit all my favourites: Henry & Abe, Henry remembering the past, Abe wanting to celebrate Henry's birthday (a ( Read more... )

Once again I've been participating in watsons_woes July Writing Prompts, writing for the prompts I fancy.

I'll be updating the list until the challenge finishes.

It's hot and I'm not feeling inspired, so have another meme, this one pinched from daria234Pick your five favorite TV shows (in no particular order) and answer the following questions. Don't cheat ( Read more... )
