Well, I defaulted on Biggles Holiday Airdrop and CIEX. I have finished my ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
fffx assignement, though! (Also I'm up as a pinch hit there, nr 72 for the win: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic, Biggles Series - W. E. Johns, Outlast (Video Games), Crossover Fandom [various], The Expanse (TV), Eye Candy (TV), Dracula - Bram Stoker (Novel 1897), Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005). Can be fulfilled with two 5k fics OR one at 10k!)
I'm signed up to au5k and candyheartsex. Excited but have not started, lol.
And now, for the fics I've received lately!
In Biggles Holiday Airdrop:
In ficortreat:
In Yuletide 2024:
In H/C Fest 24:
And I wrote, for Yuletide 2024:
I'm done! I'm free! I did it! Whumpcember 2024 is complete and not a moment too soon; I think I've used up every ficlet idea I had and then some and now I don't want to write anything shorter than 5k for a month. Ugh. Like, I'm aching over here to write something Long and Complicated, LMAO. Also, I think I might never recover from having to come up with so many titles.
Anyway, despite a migraine and/or concussion (tough to tell, no doctor was consulted, lol) knocking me out of the 'being able to look at screens without lots of Pain and Nausea' game for half of December, I'm done! I had lots pre-written and managed to get a pretty penny done these last few days, and I'm very proud of myself :D
Behold! Fics!
24k words total, and this knocks me over 100 works posted on my AO3 account! Which is super cool, I've never done that before! XD
Happy New Year's! <3
ficinabox has revealed! I received two fabulous fics (my poor heart, mercilessly attacked):
And I wrote 5 fics! I got all but one of the swaps I asked for and I'm really happy I went for it, because having lots of assignments was really fun :DDD
trickortreatex has revealed! :D I wrote two fics; an Attic fic for sweetsorcery and a Suspense (Radio 1943) fic for psychomachia <3
I've also finally caught up on 10001 Nightmares Party! Everything from hoodwinked and
TisStrangerEerierAndPreposterousUsername is up there, and I've also got some fic recs XD
cnovels, Peach Flower House is shutting downsmallfandomfest until Nov 21 (fills are only a 500-word minimum!)duckprintspress' next anthology, A Truth Universally Acknowledged, starts on Nov 20vriddy, worderlands is a new writing communityIt's Halloween! <3 And trickortreatex has revealed works :D I got an Attic fic :DDD I've also written an assortment of ficlets for ficortreat <3
fandomgiftbasket has revealed! :DDD
I wrote 2 fics and received 5 gifts! <333 My two fics were both for sweetsorcery, an Attic fic and a fic for The Man Who Went Too Far by E.F. Benson, which is a new fandom for me :D
And I got five gifts! I'm absolutely flummoxed, and so grateful and delighted, they're all so awesome <333
I got a Leverage (Drago/Harry—somebody took me up on this rarepair!) fic by Teratornis, a set of three BruJay icons by
kingstoken, an Amos/Prax ficlet for The Expanse by impala_chick, a BruJay ficlet by redhandedtamarin, and last but certainly not least an Attic ficlet by
sweetsorcery.
This was the first time I actually signed up for anything like this and didn't just do gifts, and I had such a good time! :D I love all my gifts! <333 And I really enjoyed the fics I wrote, and it was fun exploring a new fandom :DDD
ficortreatquillpunkThe Forced Proximity Flash Exchange has revealed, and I'm thrilled to announce I both wrote and received 2 fics :DDD I adore both the fics I got, they're both so lovely <3
For sweetsorcery, I wrote breathe in until you can taste the thunder on your tongue, an Attic fic, as well as an aching kind of sound, a Thurnley Abbey fic. This is a new fandom for me, but I've been wanting to try writing it for a while, and I'm pretty pleased with the result :D
And I received Down in the Trenches, a Biggles fic (Algy POV, Biggles/Erich) by sholio, and True Dawn, a Biggles fic (Biggles/Moorven) by sweetsorcery.
In other exchange news, I've signed up to trickortreatex, since it is after all only a 300 word minimum \o/ I also did end up sending in a swap request for ficinabox, which I'm very nervous about. It's my first time doing FIAB, let alone the swap thing!
Welp, I've signed up to ficinabox. I'm not sure how that's gonna go with school starting but I figure if all I manage to write is 2k and I default on the rest, that's good enough for me! :D In addition, I've also updated my Generic Exchange Letter with some optional prompts. These are freeform tags I've requested in various exchange <3
And I present my longest completed fanfic yet: like phantom wings, a Meet You at the Blossom fic, Jin Xiaobao/Zongzheng Huai'en, for a total wordcount of 13289!
For justmarriedexchange, I wrote that which soars in the night sky for SweetSorcery, an Attic - A. M. Burrage fic for the prompt 'Fake Marriage - Amnesia Makes Characters (Erroneously) Assume They’re Married' which I think is just delightful XD
And I received Moon Over Mayfair by SweetSorcery, a Biggles - W.E. Johns fic for the prompt 'Proposal - Love at First Sight; Proposes Immediately', an absolutely phenomenal fic that went right to my heart :DDD
For raremaleslashex I received I Gave it My Best but this Halo Don't Fit by PyroAo which sadly I have not read yet but it's a Kon-El | Conner Kent/Jason Todd fic and I'm very excited!
I also wrote shoot your shot for infinity for palebluestings, a Wind Breaker fic, Sakura Haruka/Togame Jo.
I signed up to fffx for the first time and this morning I got an email from modzilla (the event mod). The Fear(TM). It was fine! Just somebody with questions regarding one of my requests but still. I was not prepared, lol.
Anyway, I wasn't originally going to sign up, but I finished all my exchange fics back in June, which was very nice in July, but now I'm just kind of going 'but... but... fic... deadline... where?' all the time. Like, I've done (counting the ones I've finished but which are technically not over yet) like 12 exchanges so far this year and the break was nice, but now I'm bored.
A reminder to myself, fandomgiftbasket is still going, so do that too!
On that note, I have a mystery gift from fandomgiftbasket! I'm very excited, I requested like 8 different fandoms so no idea what it's gonna be. I also got a delightful All for the Game, Jean/Andrew/Neil fic for rarepairexchange. I do feel bad because I've still not read either of my gifts from fandom5k, but they're Long, and I just don't have the emotional wherewithal right now, sigh.
I started watching Meet You at the Blossom on Viki, a BL cdrama which I really like so far! But every other episode Stuff Happens and I have to write a fluffy fic to heal my heart before I can keep watching, so I've written two fics today and am working on the third while I work up the courage to watch episode six. (Stuff has Happened. Things have been done. Shit Is About To Go Down, I'm pretty sure.)
(Like, regarding fffx, I'm dubious about my ability to write a 10k fic, but I'm fairly sure I can do two 5k fics, so I plunged in headfirst, lmao.)
Anyway, I still need to write (check's notes) 8.6k words by midnight tomorrow to hit this week's writing goal, so please excuse me while I panic. (This post was definitely not a moment of procrastination, why would you... I mean... why-why-why... ehem, why would you think that?)
For bitesizedfandomsex I wrote to hurl oneself up a mountain
for Tarlan, a 阴阳师 | Yīn Yáng Shī | The Yin-yang Master (Movies - Guo Jingming) Boya/Qingming fic.
And I received domestic sourcing by ropememory, a Devil Wears Prada (2006) Andrea/Emily fic.
And for hurtcomfortex I wrote like ashes float away
for psychomachia, a CBS Mystery Radio Theater (The Deadly Hour - Eric) George/Martin fic.
I received The Fiend and The Flame
by SweetSorcery, an Attic (A.M. Burrage) Derek/Stanley fic.
So at some point, mostly because the idea was funny, I submitted the prompt Biggles Bachelor(ette) AU on smallfandomfest (and I stand by that it's funny) and so let me babble for a moment because I'm never writing this but maybe I can get it out of my head.
So I wouldn't want it to be a modern AU, but consider; some random (queer, just for the hell of it) dude in the Biggles'verse inherits, as a surprise, a shit-ton of money, and also wins a shit-ton of money at the lottery at the same time. Double score! What to do with the money? Get a whole Bachelor(ette) production going, of course. Maybe over the radio, maybe over early TV, whatever fits.
For one reason or another (maybe somebody thinks it's a scheme of some sort, or Enemy Action) Biggles (or somebody else!) must infiltrate this whole production. Maybe it is elaborate Enemy Action, a most daring scheme, and Erich is for some reason the Bachelor. So of course Biggles has gotta go in as a contestant. You know. For the mission.
Obviously.
Cue shenanigans. Maybe crossdressing shenanigans. Maybe Biggles isn't even trying to look like a woman, but nobody's got the guts to ask him what he's doing there and so it just keeps escalating. Maybe there's some gay chicken in there. Some identity shenanigans; maybe Biggles thinks he is fooling Erich and is having a crisis of conscience (but Erich totally knows.)
And... I don't really know the rest, LOL. I imagine some cracky fun times, perhaps some crack treated seriously; maybe there's a date and Biggles and Erich keep trying to get the other to reveal something and it just keeps getting more ridiculous. And some angst, perhaps? Maybe Biggles goes quietly mad watching all these women tossing themselves at Erich and gets like. Jealous, LOL. Maybe some hurt/comfort, too, because that's fun.
Anyway, yeah, there it is. Now let's see if tossing this out like this will free up some brain-space \o/
idproquo has revealed! I wrote an SGA (John/Todd) fic for shetiger and received a MDZS fic (Qiren/Ruohan) by
humancorn that I adore. I've also written two fics so far for
smallfandomfest; one Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun fic and one for Wellington Paranormal (TV). I only need to write one more fic for smallfandomfest to get a badge :D (And I want one! I haven't managed in the previous two rounds I've participated in, but maybe third time's the charm?)
I also managed to get in my assignments for both hurtcomfortex and bitesizedfandomsex on time, whew. And I've finally gotten around to checking in for fandom5k, so that's cleared (now to actually write the fic though, LOL.)
I think in June I only have deadlines for fandom5k and unconventionalcourtship. ...I still haven't picked a summary for UC, OTL.
tinyfandomflash is now up on AO3 :D And it's the 17th, so today my fic for smallfandombang also went up on AO3. It's a 10k Classroom of the Elite (anime/light novels) fic, a sort of slice-of-life romance character study kind of thing. I'm not really sure, LOL. It's accompanied by absolutely lovely art by valiantbarnes <333booknook (Jan | Feb | Mar). So far I've read like 35 books this years, which is wild; I read like 44 books in total last year.fandom5k now that the dates have been revealed. I keep going back and forth, LOL; I wanna, but *can* I? ...I think it'll depend a lot on if I can finish a few commitments before sign-ups close.unconventionalcourtship (not that I'm doing anything *yet* LOL) so yeah, I wanna write an Attic fic for that! Still haven't totally clicked with a blurb though :( space_swap has revealed. I defaulted, and I assume I was defaulted upon in turn, as I did not get a fic. That's fine. I don't regret defaulting, so it was probably the right call.Finally finished the 10k Attic fic I started like 2 months ago, lol. I basically went 'it'd sure be fun if my 10th Attic fic is 10k words' and then I did it. (It's a ghost romance, because I'm weak for ghosts <3)
It can be found here on tinyfandomflash. (It'll go up on AO3 and SqWA on the 15th because sadly I should probably follow my own rules. Sigh.)
I also wrote a MDZS fic for the Money Bags Flash Exchange. (And received 2 fics; one original and one MDZS!)
Also we're approaching the end of smallfandombang! My fic goes up on the 17th, I am so excited! :D
Which means... time to commit to new things, lmao. So I've signed up to bitesizedfandomsex and unconventionalcourtship. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to talk about what I'm writing for unconventionalcourtship, since it's not an exchange? But basically I'm still in the stage of trying to decide what blurb to write for. I do know the fandom though! (Can I talk about it or not, lol???)
I also signed up to latetreatbonanza, lol.
smallfandomfest also starts up again in May, so I'm very excited. The prompting period goes first, so maybe. Somebody. Has an Attic prompt or two to toss up? Because I'm not particularly interested in filling my own prompts, lol. But I do also have a bunch of prompts I've already got my eye on from the last round, so I'm not exactly hurting. (It's been going for a While. There are like 6k prompts now.)
I still plan to sign up for highadrenalineexchange but I probably won't do fandom5k unless the deadlines really work for me. So much stuff already, sigh.
With both fandomtrees and Murder Mayhem Flash Exchange (deusexchange) revealed, I have arrived to drop links!
For fandomtrees I wrote one fic:
For Murder Mayhem I wrote three fics:
And for Murder Mayhem I received one fic!
I've also written one fic (so far, hopefully more to come!) for threesentenceficathon:
Somebody bought me three (3!) books from my wishlist!
This is awesome!!! I'm so excited! XD
Also, fics:
smallfandomfest. I am utterly bamboozled.hcfest. (I was so worried I'd miss it, since it's basically just me doing it, LOL.)fandomtrees! I still haven't decided if I'm going to sign up or not but I am keeping an eye on the Trees; I had a lot of fun with fandomgiftbasket and I wanna drop more random fics on random people!smallfandomfest. I've dropped a couple of prompts, the one I'm most proud of is the Bachelor(ette) AU for Biggles. I am still cackling evilly at that. Like, I don't know how it'd *work*, but I am cackling. XDtinyfandomflash has reached 10 challenges now, and I am ridiculously proud of myself for still getting the prompts out on time. Since it's only 2 challenges a month, maintaining it is going pretty well for me, and I'm quite happy I got it going and didn't just like, let it languish forever in my drafts.fandomweekly and I wrote a Leverage fic for it. I would like to write one fic more for it before Amnesty ends, but we'll see. I feel like I almost had the characterization down but not quite, so I'd like to make another attempt at Leverage. *musing expression*wraithvault. One day I'll catch up, but today is not that day.getyourwordsout because I wanna sign up for next year. I'm thinking I'll sign up for 500k, because it's more fun getting halfway on an unattainable goal then it is to fail at a reasonable one, LMAO. (For reference, 200k-300k is what a reasonable goal looks like for me *right now*.) (I think I'm technically signed up for inkingitout this year with a 200k word goal which, yeah I might actually reach that. Interesting. Considering I haven't thought about that at all all year, I'm still debating if I'll sign up again next year. It looks like I might be able to sign up for both?)hcfest again. Sigh. Right now H/C Fest is in the claiming and filling prompt period and I had better write at least one fic or there might be nothing at all, LOL. The prompts can be found here, if anybody's interested.Fandom Gift Basket has revealed! I wrote 4 fics:
I've also written my first fic for Tiny Fandom Flash:
And I wrote a fic for the One Reality Over challenge on Ad Astra:
XD
