A Texan, an Aussie and a Brit decide to write a fic together...

Chapter 3 of Hearts Filthy Mess went up on AO3 this morning. It has now had the most hits of any of my own fic on there (same for one of my co-authors), having beaten my previous #1 The Mystery We Are into second place a short while ago. This is bloody marvellous and means that by ( Read more... )

So, if you've spent any time around here recently you'll know I'm a fan of Sherlock (and the incomparable Rupert Graves). What some of you might not know is that I'm also a fan of Discworld.

Someone on Deviant Art drew Rupert Graves as Vimes and Mark Gatiss as Vetinari. Bloody marvellous!

Post the first sentence(or 3) from every WIP you're currently working on, even if it's very short. Then invite people to ask questions about your WIPs. With any luck, the motivation to take that WIP one step closer to completion will appear as if by magic!Not got that many wips but here they are (with one exception as it's almost ( Read more... )

I did this last year which demonstrated the overwhelming conclusion that AO3 readers liked my Dresden Files/Highlander series (there was only 1 fic in the top ten that wasn't from it).

So, it's that time of year again where I tell all you lovely people what I have been writing (or not writing as the case may be) over the last 12 months. Fic wise it's been another slow year due to being attacked by the busy and not having time to write or think much. There were 4 Big Bangs that tempted me and I failed to finish (or even start in ( Read more... )

For a long time I've kind of had a general idea of what Thomas should kind of look like, but I've never seen anyone I'd really like to 'play' him. Today, I decided to look up some non-Merlin pics of my favourite knight - Sir Gwaine, played by Eoin Macken - and I think I have at last found my Thomas.

Have some pics...

So, as you do, I googled Abney Park fanfic to see if anyone else had written some.

Much to my surprise I found myself mentioned on the Brass Goggles steampunk forum. Not only that, it was complementary which considering they were generally not positive about fanfic in the thread took me somewhat aback, but in a good way ( Read more... )
