highrise living for a joke like me

These are all from the Drabble It Forward! I did in December. It seems like my turnaround time is getting slight shorter...

for wiccanslyr: Firefly, Mal/Jayne, angry lust kiss
Damage Control | PG-13 | 100 words | complete
Mal saw the way Jayne looked at him.

for theemdash: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, aliens who talk out of their butts
Why No One Talks About P4A-534 | PG | 100 words | complete
Don't you start. Just...don't."

for theemdash: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, paperwork
Distraction | PG | 100 words | complete
"Bored, amuse me."

for theemdash: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, weird calendars
Page By Day | PG-13 | 100 words | complete
365 ways to waste time at work (according to the package)

for theemdash: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, angry lust kiss
Compromise | PG-13 | 100 words | complete
"Oh, that was a big word, Jack. Good for you."

It's been a while since I've done "real" drabbles. Now I can focus on my picfor1000 (late), my imaginarybeasts (unplotted!), my stargate_summer (behind!), and fandom_grammar (I don't even want to talk about it). *headdesk*

I decided this one didn't need to be beta-ed, so I just went over it for typos (found three!), slapped a name on it, and here we go:

for sorcha_gaia, who as a block-breaker prompted me: SGA, verdure/verdant, wire, metacarpals
Helping Hand | NC-17 | 1434 words | complete
John didn’t think he took a real breath until they were back in Atlantis and Rodney was on his way to the infirmary. Maybe not even then.
Rodney gets hurt on a mission; s5; pre-slash, I guess, though there's porn in them thar hills; no spoilers

Why do you people keep making me write McShep? I don't ship McShep. I don't like McShep. And yet all three Atlantis fic I've written have McShep in them (even though one and a half are unrequited, and the third one could be, too...). Sheesh.

I would love to finish another fic or two before the 31st, but I'm not sure it's gonna happen. Especially since the one I'm working on next is a tear-jerker.

Now, to fold first load of laundry, remove second load from the dryer, and decide if I need to wash both sets of sheets or just the ones with the grapefruit juice on them.

I definitely started this one last Christmas, but I didn't finish it before I went to Florida and then I got stuck. I finished it in about July, bumbled it around in beta, and here it is:

Cassie's First Christmas | PG | 1124 words | complete

Happy holidays, everyone.

Yeah, ok, one of these got finished a while ago and was just waiting for the other five, but the other six fic where all written since I moved out. Oh muse, never leave me again!

Remember that Prompt Me! I did in September?

for dawning_star: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, "After all this time..."
Je Ne Regrette Rien | PG | 908 words | complete
"After everything, do you regret that we opened the 'gate?"
Project Bluebook is going public; future time; pre-slash; no spoilers
I've been wanting to write this exact scene forever.

for theemdash: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, ivy
Memory | G | 327 words | complete
"From Before or After?" Daniel asked tensely, and Jack could hear the capital letters.
don't ask, this is a standing joke; ep tag for 8.06 - Avatar; established relationship; spoilers for 8.06 and 2.04 - The Gamekeeper
The ivy thing's a long story, but at least it's done with now. I was originally going to post a snippet from the alien uni fic in my WsIP folder, but then this story sprang, Athena-like, from my head onto the page last night on the train home.

for theemdash: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, not a break up, not an amtdi, but maybe just maybe both (What that means is your guess.)
Not | R | 444 words | complete
"Unless one of you has been lying to me, there's nothing fertile in that union."
not what anyone expected; s9; established relationship; no spoilers; WARNING: partner betrayal, unflattering characterizations
No idea if this is what you wanted, but this is what I've got. And it wound up being a sort of prequel to our First Name Basis, which was totally not on purpose.

for starkravingsane: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, "Oh my god, did you just intimidate that volcano into not erupting?"
Intimidation | PG | 547 words | complete
"I didn't touch anything," Daniel chimes in quickly, reading Jack's mind as usual. "Not this time, at least."
just a little bit of silliness; any season; established relationship; no spoilers
This really sprang out of the mental image of Jack stopping his foot in a pissy manner. Which never made it in, of course.

for wiccanslyr: SGA, Rodney/Carson, John gets jealous, Rodney is oblivious, Carson secretly and evilly enjoys it and tries to make it worse
Crossed Wires | G | 404 words | complete
He didn't know why, but Sheppard seemed almost glum. Even his hair wasn't as energetic as usual.
he's pretty sure he's missing something; any season; R/C established relationship, implied unrequited J/R; no spoilers
I was trying to do this completely from Rodney's point of view, so I'm not sure how well I got the subtext across. Oh well.

for sidlj: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, fear of intimacy
Intimate | PG-13 | 710 | complete
"I said we’d do this, I'm not backing out now."
a little awkward fun; any season; pre-slash; no spoilers
And this totally didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. Bleh.

And one more, for the road:

for jd_commentfic's Kinkathon challenge
On Notice | NC-17 | 717 words | complete
Daniel notices things.
an experiment; any season; established relationship; no spoilers; full prompts in original post; WARNING: light bondage
Wow, it's been a long time since I wrote anything this typically kinky. (And yes, I know there are a few things Daniel's doing wrong, but that's on purpose.)

Tada!

The Jack+Daniel+baby fic for lgbtfest is up! You can find it here. Notes about writing this story will be up tomorrow.

No assbabies were created in the making of this fic.

(And yes, theemdash, my beta for fan_grammarians will be up tomorrow.)

imaginarybeasts #5 went live on the 30th, with my story, Danse Macabre - Ghost Story inside. Set in the Danse Macabre 'verse, Jul and Rin are at it again, this time with ghosts and crazy old neighbors and illustrations by the absolutely amazing Celleri-kun. I'd give it a PG-13 on the MPAA scale for innuendo and adult themes and 6 on the Kinsey Scale for completely queer (implied but not really graphic f/f and m/m relationships). For those of you fannish types, I'm sorry it's not fanfic, but I promise it's still good! :P

Though if you are looking for fic, I posted two drabbles to the jd_commentfic Kissathon: Pissy and Negotiations. It's likely I'll write more, so keep an eye out. Also, there's some great stuff in the thread, so you should read them all.

Um, happy October, everyone. *scurries off*

Ok, I said I was doing a writing round-up...

Wrote my first Eureka fic, for a multi-fandom Mothers' Day Challenge on loveforthefolks:
Rain Child | G | 200 words | complete

And my three responses for the jd_commentfic Porn Tree, which I reposted in writers_island. All are NSFW, and the last one has spoilers for "Unending" (though it's an AU):
Budget Meeting | NC-17 | 478 words | complete
Text-Based Evidence | NC-17 | 718 words | complete
Alternate | NC-17 | 637 words | complete

And now that I'm done with EDCP, I suspect mornings will turn into writing time. Two challenges due the second week in July; I can do this!

And the photos from yesterday will most likely go up this afternoon.

I seem to be mad prolific these days. Sweet

slash_100 prompt 007: Him (progress: 36/100)
also for au100 prompt 007: He (progress: 11/50)
big damn table
half-sized damn table

All around my hat,
I will wear the green willow
All around my hat,
For a twelvemonth and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it,
It's all for my true love,
Who is far, far away

(All Around My Hat | Prompt 007: Days | G | 2000 words)

Feedback is better chocolate.

slash_100, prompt 086: Circle (35/100)
big damn table

Art imitates life, that's all I can say. And before you ask, no, this is not an mpreg fic. (And those of you who know me well, if you get the secondary joke, please don't give if away.)

"Damn this thing to Netu."

(Women's Work | Prompt 086: Circle | PG-13 | 450 words)

Feedback is better than chocolate.

Oh, Vista, how I loathe you.

Tried to eat Firefox, but I found a way around it (here, about half-way down the page).

It won't let me into the innards of the file set-up. Dear piece of technology, I am smarter than you; stop assuming I'm an idiot.

And yes, it does "Cancel/Allow". I'm going to cry.

On the other hand, it's nice to be able to work without the cooling pad. And working arrow keys are the shit, no joke.

And there was fic, too.

slash_100, prompt 097: Writer's Choice (34/100)
big damn table

A bit of bribe fic for velvetcherri. Thanks, babe!

"You know, I’m really torn about that sweater."
