Baby's first Who fic! I was getting annoyed with my brain's refusal to write anything of subtance lately so I decided to sit down and bash this out. It's, um. It's debatable if this could be termed subtance, but: Dalek Caan! ♥

Written for the Happyfest III prompt: Doctor Who ; Dalek Caan ; Cake. So obviously I had to write it and, you know, this be crack.

1000 words
Rated G
Vague spoilers for The Stolen Earth/Journey's End.
With oodles of thanks to hobbit_feets, euclase, and shutterbug_12 [who braved the scary sci-fi for me!] for the fantastic beta. I go all-out for crack fic, man.



( Let Them Eat Cake )

And this is the Treat I wrote for yuletide.

Cal/Stephen
Rated PG
With thanks to shutterbug_12 for a fast and furious beta

( And The Truth Shall Set You Free )

So the yuletide reveal came and went while I was in England and I didn't get a chance to fess-up to which fics were mine. This year I managed to write two fics, one for my assigned recipient and then a Yuletide Treat on top of that. I still need to reply to comments -- but one thing at a time, right?

Written for ariastar in the yuletide 2008 challenge

Harry/Perry with past Harry/Harmony
Rated PG-13 for Harry's narration
With thanks to t_eyla and hobbit_feets for beta and hand-holding, respectively.

( A General Theory about Idiots )

Another quick explosion of story that is being posted to keep it from wallowing in squalor in my WsIP folder on my computer.

Rated G

Summary: A few of the lessons in young Jack's life learned while growing up in Shipwreck Cove.

( Lessons in Conversation )

Dedicated to hobbit_feets, for no particular reason whatsoever other than she is lovely like a thing that is lovely and makes for a damn fine partner in crime. ♥

PG | 1,350 words | Jack/James
Summary: Making up for lost time means taking liberties when you can.


( Stolen Time )

Note: This is set in an AU, created by hobbit_feets and earlwyn, where Jack and James knew and loved each other as young men in London when Jack still worked for the EITC. Set very much pre-trilogy and with a lot of backstory missing. Hopefully there is still a modicum of sense present. Posted because I have a tonne of things like this left unfinished and I grew tired of hoarding the wealth to myself.

Um. So I wrote RPF. Yeah, I don't know either.

For cryptictac on the anniversary of her birth, with love and kisses and hopes that this is not too unbearable.

Hugh/Lisa
Rated PG for lies about nutrition
Much thanks to shutterbug_12 for the comma advice.

( Eat Your Fruits and Vegetables )

This spot is on a reserve as a place to babble about my fic and general experience participating in yuletide.  

Right now I am going sledding! In the balmy 40(f) degree weather! Where everything has turned to slush! Whoo! Here I am, cold, wet, bruised, sporting a snow burn -- but thrilled. I haven't gone sledding since I was twelve, and I forgot how much fun it is to zoom pell-mell down an icy slope. 

I went only in a t-shirt and jeans, because it was so warm today, but quickly learned that you don't wear layers when sledding to keep warm. You wear layers when sledding to act as a barrier between the rough ice and your flesh. My arms are a little beat up, and my tailbone dislikes me, but it was so so so much fun omg.

I have been meaning to make mention of yuletide since authors were revealed, but due to procrastination, and, you know, general laziness, I hadn't yet. So very belatedly, ( here are my final thoughts on that seasonal insanity test known as Yuletide. )

You know, as much as I adored the gifts I recieved from yuletide and love and admire the folks who wrote them for me, my favourite part was getting to write for someone else, and having them enjoy it. I definitely plan to be around for Yuletide 2008, though hopefully not as busy with work and/or knowledgeable of the ways to avoid the madness. There are still a few fandoms I've always wanted to write fic for and never had the impetus until now. 

I think that now concludes my learning curve through baby's first Yuletide. :)

I am as shocked as you are.

( And there is no Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs to ease the agony of being a liar.  )

Thanks to all of you who left helpful tips and advice for overcoming writer's block. I still don't think it's completely gone but I did come up with this short little thing. It's my first brotherfic. I feel so proud.
