The girlfriend has invented the perfect AU fusion fic--Sherlock/Super Mario Bros:

Sherlock is Mario, John is Princess Peach (arms crossed, tapping his foot, in a pretty pink dress and very impatient for Sherlock to just rescue him already as this waiting around is becoming somewhat tedious). Moriarty is Bowser (I will burn the heart out of you... ( Read more... )

So, having been seduced into the fandom by lamardeuse's lovely rec posts, I now appear to be writing Lewis fic.

Psst--writing mystery detective banter fic is the most fun ever:

"A surgeon?" Hathaway says, as they clatter down the stairs to the street.  "With hands like that?"

"Must be why he's no longer practicing," Lewis says.  "Look into it, eh?  Could be a ( Read more... )

I probably don't need to explain to anyone here that double-genderfuck femslash fics are basically my favorite thing ever--and this one from the Suits kinkmeme is joy itself:

Title: Third Street Laundry, Chapter 2
Pairing: Jenna/Kono, pre-Steve/Danny
Rating: PG
Length: 2000 words
Warnings: More long-forgotten, period-appropriate ethnic slurs.  Also, bad pidgin.

So I'm teaching a creative writing camp for high schoolers right now, and we spend a lot of time in the computer lab working on their stories. They come back and get me if they need a jump-start--most of them still haven't fallen into that college self-consciousness yet, though, and they can go on for pages about how it felt when they moved to ( Read more... )

Rating: PG
Length: 2900 words
Warnings: Some long-forgotten, period-appropriate ethnic slurs.

From my self-drafted pattern I have made great things!  Two dresses in five days, anyway.  Pictures under the cut:

( My dress form, while pretty close to my measurements, has silly fifties cone-bra boobs and an even smaller waist than I do, so any bagginess is due entirely to her imperfections.  Don't point it out, she has enough body image issues. )

Title: Not Ice Cream, But Sort of Looks Like It
Author: allheadybooks
Pairing: Amy/Rory, Amy/Rory/OMC alluded to
Rating: PG-13

Spoilers: Set post-"Day of the Moon," so spoilers up to that point.
Summary: The cat's not out of the bag, exactly, it's just that he doesn't feel like doing any misdirection at the moment and the Doctor looks confused, ( Read more... )

SO: in between writing stories about hot women and wasting my time on the internet, I occasionally sew my own clothes. I've always drafted my own patterns (I don't have the attention span or the trust in other people's judgment to use commercial patterns), but until recently I hadn't tried anything more complicated than a pencil skirt (which is ( Read more... )

SOME 1x23 ICONS YOU GUYS

The quality is embarrassing because I made them in MS Paint, even though my partner is a graphic designer and looked kind of embarrassed for me every time she glanced over and saw me drag-and-dropping my screencaps, but I am going to stop rambling and here they are.

( Jenna, Kono, Jenna and Kono, Kamekona, the back of Danny's head, and Chin's adorable nose. )
