Well, the Xmmficathon is over, and it was fun. I have to admit to being a little disappointed that my assigned recipient still hasn’t had anything to say after 5 days, but she hasn’t posted a story yet either and there are about 3 outstanding. So I’m hopeful to hear from her eventually.
The story is an Erik/Charles slash story without anything explicit, really, and because I love them both separately and together, I was thrilled to write it. The story is Stalemate, and I had such a great time writing I think I’ll probably write them some more.
I wrote a Logan and Scott story that’s slash if you squint sideways really, really hard. But it didn’t seem called for to do more than barely hint. It was a pinch hit that I had less than a week to do. I ended up pretty happy with this experience, too. The story is Letting Go. It’s actually set in X3, which was one of my “won’t write” conditions in the ficathon. But since the request asked for a fix of something I hated (well, ONE thing I hated) about X3, it worked out all right for me.
I also helped with a story by contributing a beginning, end and some inner stuff with Charles/Erik and Erik interacting with Mystique. I enjoyed writing those parts, and find I think I’d like to write more Mystique. The story is here.
And the story that was written for me, oh! It’s by ion_bond, who is actually the person responsible for me starting to read Charles/Erik fic in the first place.
It’s a nice fix-it fic from X3. I hated that Magneto turned his back on Mystique in that film, and in fact that was the first sign that it was going to be wrong, wrong, wrong. He wouldn’t have done that, I don’t believe.
It’s wonderful in so many ways far beyond just fixing that injustice. Did you really think that just because Mystique was depowered, she’d become a wallflower? I don’t think so. Yet the only other thing she did in the movie was roll over on Erik. Again, I don’t think so. It has an AU ending to the movie, in which the characters act like . . .themselves! Imagine that. Read this story to see how it should have happened.
So that one’s in the can now. Very much fun! Onward to Yuletide.
