Since I haven't posted a random fic fragment in a while and the Hugos have Blackout on my mind, here are 400 words of a post-Blackout fic that I can't describe or excerpt from outside of a cut. (Which...is basically the nature of anything set after the series, really.) ( SpoilersSpoilersSpoilers )

This is not officially part of the still-in-progress Claudia & Steve snuggle!fic, although given how I might be framing that one, you never know. It's just what happened to spontaneously result from the onslaught of W13 feelings I've been having recently ( Read more... )

This weekend's WIP fragment is the very beginning (not counting blog posts) of one of my two closest-to-finished Newsflesh fics. Coincidentally, both of these fics demonstrate that I like playing with the idea that Georgia's a bit of an eccentric eater--not disordered, just not terribly focused on food.

I have a post all written about why this upcoming workweek is stupidly stressful beyond the usual reasons [see also: sledgehammer of bureaucracy], but I'm too tired to judge whether posting it is a good idea ( Read more... )

In practice, I don't know if I'll make a habit of this, but since I'm still awake I'm technically still thinking of it as the weekend, so what the hell. Have a random, non-spoilery fic snippet from a WIP.

So many of you replied to my question from last night that it seems like a good idea to just say "thank you" in a separate post rather than rephrase essentially the same thing 20+ ways. So: thank you for weighing in! It was interesting reading, and I was pleasantly surprised that basically everyone tries to read their entire flist ( Read more... )
