Van Helsing fiction site update

  • Posted on June 4, 2011 at 6:30 pm

I’ve added two more Van Helsing stories to the site, both written this year.

Carl the Poet is my 7th annual April Fool’s Day story.

Just the Right Static Charge was written for my friend Pati’s birthday, which was May 31st. It’s not crack-fic, I actually wrote it quite seriously, but by the end it can serve as a sort of sequel for her other birthday story and an April Fool’s one. Deals with a dark issue, though, so don’t expect some of the silliness that’s in many of my other birthday and April Fool’s Day stories. :)

I also updated the site with the Yuletide Treasure Project stories I wrote in 2010, which I’ll list in another post.

Site Update

  • Posted on September 10, 2010 at 10:48 pm

I added two Van Helsing slash stories to my website, one that was posted to LJ in May and one that was posted just a few days ago. The first is adults only, the second is pretty tame. The stories are:

Sins of the Father–This Carl/Van Helsing slash fiction story is about 26,000 words, so it’s not a super-quick read. It was written based on a plot request by Pati, a good friend of mine. I started it a few years ago (seriously) and kept putting it aside because parts weren’t easy to write. I finished it over a year ago, and then set it aside again only to add almost another 10,000 words on before calling it finished.

Of Eyestalks, Stalking and Animal Anatomy–This one had been on my computer for several months, as it was supposed to be a belated birthday story for a friend, and ended up being sort of an early birthday story this year. It’s a sequel to a sequel. You should read The Semantics of Contracts by my friend, and my sequel to that called Semantics and Angry Poultry, before you attempt to read this story, or it won’t make any sense. This is a bit silly, and fun to write.

Marvel Crossing’s supposed to finally go live by the end of this week, which is technically now. I can’t wait to read my story! *bites nails*

Yuletide Assignment Ahoy!

  • Posted on November 17, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Scrooge YuletideWell, I narrowed my list down to about 11 fandoms to offer, and made my selection about which 3 to request. I almost added a 4th, but then opted not to. My requests and letter to my Yuletide Santa/Goat is in my LiveJournal: Fan Fiction Requests for My Dear Yuletide Santa!

Two of my requested fandoms were the same as last year (Lawrence of Arabia and SeaChange) but I couldn’t reproduce my requests from last year completely since two fandoms weren’t eligible this year. American Gothic fandom is a new request for me, but I’ve loved the show for years. I’ll be excited no matter which request I’m matched on.

Can’t list the fandom or the assignment I got as that flies in the face of the spirit of the Secret Santa thing. But it’s not one I really expected to get (because that’s pretty much how it works, just like last year) but one that’s going to be fun. Got the assignment on the 15th I believe, and so far I have almost 300 words written. I actually wrote 150 words right after I got the assignment because I had immediate ideas. I’ve been adding to that in spurts. This one is a lot of fun, and my recipient wants fluff rather than angst, so it’s just going to be a good time had by pretty much all.

A complete draft for the X-Men movieverse ficathon is due Thursday, which isn’t a problem, I’m just aggravated that someone has misplace my X-Men DVDs which is making it difficult for me to fact check. And that someone, for the record, is not me.  Fortunately the completed and ready to roll story isn’t due Thursday–that’s Saturday the 28th. Which makes the whole thing a bit easier, as I’m sure I can find the DVDs over the weekend.

I also have a story to complete by Thanksgiving for the Child. We did an impromptu fic exchange about a month, maybe 6 weeks ago, just between us. That’s a fun one, too. Of course, I have a feeling she hasn’t done much with it, so it may get extended. And I’m also trying to put the final edit on a 27,000 word story that’s been languishing for EONS.

So it goes to figure that during a week when I want to do TONS of fan writing, the RL writing that pays the bills has just exploded and I have more this week to do than I have in a while. Still, all good, all fun.

Regarding Yuletide, here are the two wonderful stories I got last year. I hesitate to ask for Lawrence of Arabia again this year becuase the story I got last year was so fantastic:

The Vices of Old Men

It’s a remarkable piece of writing, and so perfectly captures their relationship and the essence of the film.

And I got a Yuletide Treat, too! These are stories that don’t have to make the 1,000 word limit that can be posted after the deadline for assigned stories up until the evening of the 24th, I believe. This story was based on one of my other requests, from the film 300. This one comes with an adult material warning–if you’re underage or squicked by sex between men, give it a miss.

Lessons

I’m looking so forward to the 25th to see my story and to see how well my recipient likes the story I wrote for her! I’m just as excited about the reveal for the X-Men fication on the 28th, too. It’s my first foray into writing anything but drabbles in this fandom, and I hope I please my giftee.
