A Lonely fic
Mar. 18th, 2020 10:16 pmSometimes a story resonates with people and you get a lot of readers/feedback. Sometimes all you get are a few clicks and silence...
Back in 2011 for NaNoWriMo I wrote a story called "The Dragon Hunter's Daughter"
I'm fairly proud of that story. It's my first completed NaNoWriMo entry (I've finished something every year since, but it was the first.)
It's really a stand-alone story, unlike the Mega Crossover space opera I've been writing since then every year. I'd like, some day, to turn it into a real story, something people might pay for, though I suspect it might never happen at this point.
I've since repurposed parts of it into something one of the characters in my Glee/BtVS crossover series tells (not my space opera). Not sure I'll ever finish that version. It is more work than I expected to extract just parts of a story as a story within a story.
But with this whole COVID-19 thing going on, and feeling extremely pessimistic (because while I'm not OLD, I am in more than one of the high risk groups. Not sure I'll survive a bout of COVID-19.) I decided to start posting the original story to AO3. It's ostensibly a Glee fan fic with Brittany introducing the different chapters in sort of a 'campfire tale' format.
Given that it was written over 8 years ago, and needs some minor tweaking, I think it is turning out fairly well.
But, it doesn't seem to be attracting an audience (except on Twisting the Hellmouth where I am also posting it). A couple clicks on AO3, and dead silence.
Sure, most of my stories as posted on AO3 don't get much attention (probably because I don't write anything explicit (no Slash, and only femslash in a roundabout subtextual kind of way, if at all) or in one of the mega-popular fandoms. But it's slightly disappointing that this one story is being ignored. (Maybe because I have it flagged as requiring an AO3 login to read? Was feeling a trifle protective of this one story.)
We'll see how it goes when I've finished posting it - Saturday hopefully..
Curious? You can find it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/23123167

Fic Update
Sep. 1st, 2019 07:29 pmMy main fic writing effort has been a long running series of stories for NaNoWriMo that I started in 2012 and started posting to AO3 in August 2013 - A Glee centric Space Opera - The Yucatan Job- written in 50K increments every November, and polished and posted the following year. Right now I'm finishing posting the 6th full story in the series (written in 2016) and this November I'll possibly write the 8th and final( maybe) story then post the story I wrote in 2018.
In the mean-time I've been working on some shorter things just for fun. Mostly not posted anywhere as of yet.
But I've been reading a lot of Harry Potter stories over the past six months and was inspired to start a new story.
Not thrilled with the title so that may change but here it is:
The Curse of the Protector
Basically, it's a "Female Harry Potter, raised by a Death Eater" story. Kind of. Sort of. There may be soul mate shenanigans eventually, and if I can get it to work some Bellamione (though I'm doubtful I can), and a crossover - of course. See the story tags for more.

For those who still wander over to Live Journal (for whatever reason - Stockholm Syndrome, nostalgia, etc), the annual "Twisted Shorts Fic-A-Day" is now complete, with over 200 short fics posted there during the month by 10 different authors (some regular participants, and a few newbees)
Here's the announcement link over in the Twisting the Hellmouth forums (and a link to LJ):
2019 August Fic-A-Day Challenge
Which also includes some discussion of the future of the challenge - stay on LJ? Move elsewhere? There is a Twisted Shorts community here on Dreamwidth but the challenge managers aren't using it yet.

New Fic - Roman Holiday
Jul. 15th, 2017 10:25 pm And we have a new story posted at AO3 and elsewhere
Roman Holiday - a sequel to my previous Joyce Summers/Sam Carter crossover. This time it's Buffy/Stargate/Josie and the Pussycats. Part of a series.
Chapter 1 Posted for the 10th Annual International Day of Femslash (Not sure that is happening this year but I posted a story for it anyway.)
Future chapters posted as they are written. The previous story in this series took me a year to post the whole thing. Hopefully this will go a lot faster.

Glee Fic Side Story Updated
Jul. 8th, 2017 05:31 pm Updated my Glee Space Opera The Yucatan Job (Well, the SG1/DwP road trip side story "A Journalist Abroad" ) - The goal is to have it all posted before NaNoWroMo 2017. Might be able to get it done.
WHT: International Day of Femslash?
Jun. 20th, 2017 07:29 amThis year should be the 10th Annual International Day of Femslash - on July 16th (Or maybe the following week/Saturday)
But I haven't seen any notices on any of the usual sites and the main "co-ordinating" site for it hasn't been updated for this year. Or last year really ( last year they hosted a con but no actual mentions of the International Day of Femslash itself.)
So, what happened? Has it moved to some private, invite only location? Been sucked into the Facebook Hive Mind?
Inquiring minds want to know.
(And yes, I'm working on a story (idea only so far) to post. Something in one of my on-going Buffy crossover series. Probably. )
I'll probably do like I did last year. Post a story on assorted fan fiction sites and tag it as such.

Fic Update
Apr. 27th, 2017 10:46 pm Posted another chapter in my ongoing Glee Space opera, in which our band of intrepid travelers find they've taken the wrong exit, finding themselves even further from home.
Moved over
Apr. 15th, 2017 11:53 amI've moved everything here (as of this post) over from LiveJournal (and will be deleting the original there shortly.).
So, what's now here? Fan fiction, mostly. Or links to my fan fiction posted elsewhere. Or both. I mainly write Buffy crossover fan fiction, when I write, and that is posted over at AO3, Twisting the Hellmouth, and ff.net. What you'll find here are the non-Buffy stories, mainly several Glee fics i wrote as an experiment (one unfinished).
Most of my stories include non-canon f/f pairings (though, whether they count as femslash, since I don't write sex scenes, is debatable.)
I also do NaNoWriMo every November. For the past few years it's been used to write rough drafts of my Glee space opera series "The Yucatan Job"

Diva On A Half Shell - 8
Oct. 19th, 2013 10:53 pmChapter Title: Envelope
Disclaimer: Fox owns the Glee money making machine and RBI came up with the original show idea. Still not mine. Stars Hollow and its denizens belong to others.
Characters: Rachel/Quinn.
When/Where:Seriously AU. Pretend Glee Season 4 didn't happen that way, and lots of Season 3 was different. Quinn opens an envelope.
Note: [19-Oct-2013] It's been a while. A year? Yikes! No excuses other than a traumatized muse after last year's NaNoWriMo. This year's NaNoWriMo starts in a couple weeks. I'll try to get back to posting on a regular schedule after that is over, but no promises. And at least 1 more before it starts.
Word Count: 1,510 (8 of ?)

Long time no see!
Oct. 19th, 2013 10:51 pmI can't believe it's been so long since I posted here. Almost 8 months. I'll try to do better. Really!
I'll be back!
Mar. 7th, 2013 03:13 amWork's been a serious time-sink for the past couple months. Haven't done any real fic writing since the Christmas break. Not sure how much I'll get done before Easter but the ideas are still churning away.
Right now I have 2 different paths I want to take Diva On A Half Shell.
Either
Right now I have 2 different paths I want to take Diva On A Half Shell.
Either
- We'll explore some of Quinn's PB past starting with a Tony Stark encounter (Marvel Movie Universe Stark - I haven't read an Iron Man comic since college. Longer ago than I care to think.
- Or Ethan Rayne (Everybody's favorite chaos worshipper from Buffy) will show up in Star's Hollow (tying the story into another story series I started years ago under another alias - though hopefully readable standalone. We'll see. The timelines might not be very compatible.
- Or an AU combo of both.
Ever notice how sodas, and other drinkable liquids, that are sugar free leave a nasty after taste? Usually an hour or more later? When you are drinking them they are fine but later? Blech!
That also describes this past month. It has taken me four weeks to get past that NaNoWriMo "aftertaste" and start writing again. But things are looking up. I have 3 stories I'm working on and then I'll start back on installments to 'Diva On A Half Shell'. Hopefully before the end of January.

Post NaNoWriMo update
Dec. 6th, 2012 09:22 pmWell, I survived NaNoWriMo. 52K words in 30 days. Not that anyone will ever read it. It's stashed in a shoebox, under a pile of magazines, in the back closet. Well... the virtual equivalent.
It isn't too bad, considering the goal of NaNo is quantity not quality. Might post it, someday, somewhere else under a different name to spare myself the embarrassment.
Give me a couple weeks to recover my equilibrium and I'll start working on updates to Diva on a Half Shell
