January 1! So I can reveal that for Yuletide I wrote "Elinor & Marianne," a Sleepy Hollow story! The summary: “Here’s what I figure,” Abbie said. “You need to catch up to modern culture. But you should catch up in stages. By degrees. Even Mark Twain was a little too far ahead for you, so let’s take it back a step. We’ll start you off with what’s ( Read more... )

First up: It's after Christmas, but I can reveal that I wrote "Xmas In Connecticut" for Kaydeefalls in the Secret Mutant holiday exchange. She asked for a fusion -- any fusion -- so I put the characters in the 1940s movie "Christmas in Connecticut." The synopsis:

In December 1944, the entire nation loves Rebecca Lawrence - "America's Most Beloved ( Read more... )

I feel like my signup was probably plenty of information, but I'm going to reproduce it here with a few extra notes, in case that's helpful:

Right now I am 3 chapters (out of 11, I think) into the XMFC AU story "Pantheon". Summary: In the year 96 AD, all Rome is aware that their gods have begun to Mark certain people with their gifts -- the healing power of Apollo, the metal control of Vulcan, the deathly touch of Pluto, or the mental powers of Minerva. When those gifts fall to slaves ( Read more... )

This could be a huge ol' meta question, but what I am actually asking is, if I wrote an XMFC story in a setting so remote that it would absolutely require changing character names, as in all of them, would it throw you out of the story too much? There would be a handy reference guide in the notes ( Read more... )

I long to write some more fic but find myself a bit stymied. Any prompts for me? XMFC and Elementary particularly desired.

Not one but two new fics for your perusal, should they interest:

"Death Before Dusk", an Elementary fic, Sherlock/Joan, and yet not as romantic as you might be thinking. 15K words. The synopsis --

The bad news: In 111 days, an asteroid will strike the Earth in a cataclysm that promises to destroy human civilization as we know it ( Read more... )

Hi there! I didn't die. I just took my time writing a very, very long fic -- the longest I ever wrote -- which you can now read in its entirety at the AO3:

"Anarchy in the UK"

Synopsis: "Good God, Erik thought. The Prince of Wales is gay."Charles lives in the unceasing glare of the public spotlight, yet keeps his sexual orientation a closely ( Read more... )

Have just posted "Persephone," a fic that takes place just after the ending of the movie "Prometheus."

Summary: Elizabeth repairs David - but slowly he begins to realize he is malfunctioning in a way she can't fix.

And he doesn't want her to.

Also, needing some light and happy fun one fine day, I wrote an epilogue to "Appropriate Boundaries," a ( Read more... )

I have now completed "One Last Kiss At The End Of The World," an XMFC Charles/Erik fic. The summary: When Raven gets mixed up in a mutant cult, Charles infiltrates the group, pretending to be a true believer in the hopes of getting her out. What surprises him is the charisma and uncanny wisdom of the cult's leader, Elisha Ammon -- the emotional ( Read more... )
