BANZAI! A STICKY POST!

( Original Fiction Directory! Plus some other garbage. )

Okay, first things first! Fic site update! Not that anyone probably cares, since nothing went up there that hasn't already been posted here. But still, I like to keep my readers informed, ducks in a row, et cetera.

Secondly! I have decided that we need icons. I decided this mostly because I was reading Shadow of the Templar the other day, which is an awesome quartet of origi-fic that I highly recommend, end of aside. SotT has *great* icons that say things like "No! We are not having the mpreg discussion again!" and "Deja Screw - the weird feeling that somehow, somewhere, this woman has fucked you over once before".

I've decided to make icons upon these lines, because I think our stuff has similarly amusing one-liners. Here's what I need from you guys: suggestions! What are the lines that have, in the past, stuck in your head from our stuff, that you find amusing/touching/interesting/weird/et cetera? (From anything, fanfic as well as origific.) Give me ideas, and I will make icons. Or you can just make me icons, I'm not picky (and I am, definitely, lazy). Then I'll post a bunch of icons and you people can use them to your heart's content and maybe some of them will catch the eye of strangers and get more readers here! Booyeah!

That's all for today, since I spent most of the weekend working on the book of FIG sidestories, which should be coming soon to a theater near you.

Okay! Here are the last of the August drabbles, finally. You may (or may not) have noticed that there was no September prompt open, because I hadn't finished these up. I may or may not continue with this.... it's been fun, but it's a lot of work, and there have been a few months where I've barely (or not even) gotten seven prompts, so I'm just not sure anybody cares that much, including me. The jury is still out. For now, have at the last of August.


Fic #8: Career Plans
Request: Any Other Name, Theo/Tricks, post-story happenings
Requested by: opiumandjasmine
Length: 1,056
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Er . . . can you believe I actually intended for this to be porn, but then it turned out not? It’s usually the other way around, especially with these two. But it got all long and serious and . . . long.


( We can't be normal. )



Fic #9: Taking Turns
Request: Harry Potter, Sirius/Remus, prompt: “it’s not your turn with the map”
Requested by: tamchronin
Length: 319
Rating: PG
Notes: Boy, am I out of practice with these characters. Fortunately, I just saw the HBP movie, which . . . really didn’t have these characters in it. Damnit.


( We're trying to do something very important here. )



Fic #10: Kindred Souls
Request: Phoenix Rising, Lewis and Skye, prompt: meeting without knowing who the other is
Requested by: hiki_chan
Length: 492
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This was weirdly difficult.


( Is everyone who works here so God damned attractive? )


Fic #11: Music Lovers
Request: Touch the Sky/WYWM crossover, Andy and Skye, no particular prompt
Requested by: meepalicious
Length: 269
Rating: G
Notes: If there are two characters in this entire crossover ‘verse who would have less to say to each other, I don’t know who they would be. Therefore I apologize for how utterly mundane, boring, and short this fic is.


( Let me know if he says anything entertaining. )


Fic #12: Be Prepared
Request: Crossing Borders, Rhen and Shatani, prompt: Shatani teaches Rhen’s children how to make bombs
Requested by: dreamseternal
Length: 588
Rating: PG
Notes: I was all set to write this fic when I realized that these kids didn’t have names.


( When in doubt, always build it on the ground. )

Holy cow! It's an entire post of FIG drabbles!


Fic #4: Testing
Request: Fallen Into Grace, Rylee & Mika, prompt: Mika asks Rylee how long ‘this’ is going to go on
Requested by: dreamseternal
Length: 539
Rating: PG
Notes: This is the reverse of last month’s fic. Sadly, it doesn’t have Mika in drag, but it might have made it there eventually if I had kept writing.


( Mika shifted in his seat. )


Fic #5: Quality Family Time
Request: Fallen Into Grace, Julianna/Darius Chancellor, prompt: how to be a good hunting team while having a family dinner
Requested by: pythia_delphie
Length: 450
Rating: PG
Notes: Whhhhhyyyyyy did I kill these two off before they were main characters? *Sob*


( I could take on anyone in this place right now! )


Fic #6: First Time for Everything
Request: Fallen Into Grace, Malakai/Shea, prompt: fic when they first started sleeping together
Requested by: dykeosaurus
Length: 713
Rating: R.
Notes: At first this fic stumped me. I had honestly never started thinking about why they started sleeping together or exactly how it had come up. I mean, having never been a teenaged guy myself, I just didn’t have any clue how they would have this conversation. “So, Mal, I think I’m gay.” “Great. Me too. Wanna bang?” Then the obvious solution occurred to me: porn.


( It's not like I've had many opportunities. )


Fic #7: Swap Meet
Request: Fallen Into Grace, prompt: post!TFWC gender-swap fic
Requested by: liberty_witch
Length: 592
Rating: R
Notes: After some detailed thought, I decided that this fic would be better served as a series of four shorts, rather than one lengthier fic. This way I could focus on more characters. Also, this may be the funniest fic I've written all year.


( You could help instead of just laughing at us. )

August drabble batch, number one! I've decided to post these in clumps rather than once a day, since I have more than 7 of them to do. Also, because I really like some of these and I'm super impatient.

Fic #1: Paternal Instincts
Request: Crossing Borders, Jiahn/Shatani, prompt: talking about wanting and/or not wanting kids
Requested by: cold_sophie
Length: 1,095
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This fic kind of surprised me.


( Maybe we should practice on the dog for a while first. )


Fic #2: Patience
Request: Variance, Bryce/Skyler, prompt: hurt/comfort
Requested by: anoyo
Length: 488
Rating: PG-13, though really only because of one reference to bondage.
Notes: Technically, Anoyo requested that I write whatever I felt like writing that I knew she would enjoy. She always wants Bryce/Skyler, though. That’s just the way she is. Muse!Skyler, upon hearing it would be hurt/comfort, requested something non-scarring. This fic is another one from the short-short beta list, but I think it's actually pretty funny without knowing who the characters are, so hopefully y'all will agree with me. If not, skim past!


( You've lost your chance to infect me with your miserable virus. )



Fic #3: Formal Occasions
Request: Following Seas, prompt: “There’s no such thing as too much ruffles.”
Requested by: straycat_cayra
Length: 666. This fic is the devil.
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Surgeon general’s warning: this fic may be dangerous to your health. Additional notes: there’s really no time or setting for this fic. It wouldn’t be before the party on the Rallins island because Tam and Quentin weren’t banging then, and there really hasn’t been room for it since then. Whether or not this fic could successfully take place at the end of Following Seas is a question I won’t answer, since it would give away the end of the story. Therefore this will sadly have to be considered AU.


( This, I didn' see comin'. )

August drabble requests open closed!

1) Each month there will be a theme.
2) You can give me a prompt!
3) Prompt goes in this format: Fandom/Original work, character/pairing, prompt. The prompt must fit the theme, at least vaguely.
4) The first seven people to give prompts will get their prompts posted on the last seven days of the month.
4) Give me as many as you can handle, and August will be a drabble month like last December, only I'll post them whenever, not every day.


Lurkers welcome!


August's theme is.... a non-themed month! No, this is not a lame excuse because I could not think of anything. August is my birthday month, so the theme is thusly: prompt me to write something that you feel I would enjoy writing. It can be anything you like!


All users can request! Because that lame thing about people who had recently requested not requesting seriously wasn't working very well. Also, there is no limit to the number of requests this month. See strikeout text above. However, please make sure all requests are in by August 7th, so I have time to, you know, actually write them.

This may be the best drabble I've ever written. I'm just sayin'.

( July drabble #7: All Work and No Play )

Whoops! I totally forgot to post my fic today! Bad Kouri, no biscuit!

( July drabble #6: Navigation )

Today, I am proud to yet again share with you what a loser I am.

Lurkers are welcome! The more, the merrier!


July's theme is... questions! This theme has two options. Either you can ask any character a question (i. e. Fallen Into Grace, Benjamin, prompt: what is your favorite animal?) or you can have one character ask another character a question (i. e. Fallen Into Grace, Zachariah/Benjamin, prompt: Zachariah asks Benjamin which animal is his favorite). As usual, please do not use my lame examples.


April's winners: (kthxrawr, wolfpilot06, ritzyphoenix, anoyo, hiki_chan, and wepo) can now request again!


May's winners (can request again starting in August): appending_doom, tamchronin, gypsy_atavari, meepalicious, tomoyodaidouji, hugin08, aska_sun.


June's winners (can request again starting in September): nornoricat, liberty_witch, namine_no_miko, stylized_wings, pythia_delphie, straycat_cayra, noborukasahara.


FYI - Karasu and I are taking a mini-vacation Thursday-Sunday. There *will* be a chapter post Sunday, though it might be later than usual, but the reason I point this out is to let you know that if you make a prompt request Thursday evening or later, it won't show up on the list of requested fics until Sunday. That's all, folks!


ETA: ......theme fail? Seriously? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

ETA2: Okay, since either everyone is asleep or this theme sucks and no one wants to tell me, I am opening the floor, meaning the above people who were told they couldn't prompt, can prompt. Maybe they're awake. ^_^

Layout was changed again because the grassy one didn't load properly on 8 out of 9 computers I tried it on. The graphic kept getting cut off. So. Now we have a cityscape which loads properly. Yay!

June drabbles.... start!

No chapter post today due to overwhelming and massive soul crushage thanks to work. But there will be a chapter on Saturday!
