candygramme wrote me a ficlet for the prompt:
first time Krycek meets an alien (Guerin) and decides not to kill it/him

It's HERE..Krycek meets Michael Guerin and mischief ensues, YAY!
Go read! :D

What I wrote for yuletide:

1)Yest' chelóvek, yest' probléma. Net chelovéka, net problémy.
Fandom: Eastern Promises

Then it was Christmas night. The pc was apparently holding (you should hear the sounds coming from the HD, like a donkey in love, I tell you), I was feeling weird (and only a few hours later realizing it was because I was soon going to be sick like a dog), and I discovered Yuletide Madness: writing extra treats for any request that intrigues/inspires you.
Oh, I loved it, and I will do it again next year!

I wrote:

2) Addams Traditions
Fandom: The Addams Family.

( Read more... )

And I also wrote:

3) Event Horizon
Fandom: Sandman

I would like to thank all commenters (and I will reply to their comments directly, I saved them all), they have all been very generous :)

And as I posted earlier, I got Yuletide Treats written for me!!!

Which, as I understand it, was something  of the last moment, simply pinch hitters were invited to put in requests for the Yuletide Madness, and well, I wasn't expecting any of my requests to be picked up  an instead I got two LIFE treats! Which I love (Charlie and Ted, c'mon,  in a slash world, they are so going to happen, but I just adore their friendship/quirky bonding anyway*G*), and am now going to see who wrote those :D

In other news, both mum and I are starting to feel slighty better, even if eating is still an issue, and it's fine for me, but mum is transparent as it is. Crossing fingers, though, we should slowly get better and better.
I will do a fanfiction recap of the year asap, too. For myself, mostly, to encourage me to write more and to consider what I wrote and how and why, and I'll do a practical list of things that I hope to accomplish this year, too. Eventually ;)

disanddat asked for Dead and Breakfast's The Sheriff: JDM :D.
This is the drabble that came out…AU, in that The Sheriff doesn't die at the end of the film, and also, clearly, I'm still assessing the character.I promise to do better next time, that is, tomorrow.

( D&B's The Sheriff drabble )

All stories GEN, no pairing, no warnings. All with some (imo) significant John-presence.


minkmix consistently (and I mean that, I've been reading her stories for more than a year now, and the quality and rhythm and regularity of her writing amazes me) writes great SPN stories, with a sure voice for the Winchesters and a sharp eye for the little things of every day life, even if it's a life on the road.

Selectee, by minkmix
Dean listening to John rambling in the car. I love Dean's pov of his father, here, and his own teenage attitude - wisely kept to himself...truly enjoyable read.
"Dean never quite knew what to do when his father directly sought out an opinion. It was much like overhearing the very elderly allude to an active sex life or seeing a badly drawn tattoo on a really pretty girl. It was about as troubling as it was intriguing."


Following on the theme of a teenage Dean somehow dealing with/or around John and very much aware of his father's presence in his life in even the most amazing circumstances, the following story is funny, clever and a lovely read.

Monsters and Movie Sets, written by cole_chan

"It turned out that this craptastic town wasn’t just one of Dad’s random stops to earn money before returning to the road. No, Dad had found a surprisingly nice house with an amazingly good rental price and a job in garage that gave him just the right number of hours so he could work and hunt all in one perfect package. Sam was especially happy because it looked like he would start and finish the year in the same school. It was good to see Sam happy, because at the age of thirteen he was starting to show some worrying teenage behavior.

Dean wondered if his Dad would let them stay in town once he found out about this little supernatural escapade."


The last story has a different tone, more bittersweet:

Things We Pass On, by relli86
It's a look at what parents pass onto their children, not always consciously, starting from John and Mary's own parents. Six things, each one very important. I like the structure of this very much, the way it moves in time and from character to character.

title: enters Krycek
author: phantomas
genre: AU, spn scifi verse, slash, PG
pairing: Dean/Krycek implied
warnings: none
words: 2678
disclaimer: textual pastiche, I mixed it all
notes: this follows if there was a compass, if you were a star and Dividend by disanddat. It won't make much sense if you haven't read the previous stories.

title: it's a wonderful world
author: phantomas
fandom: Uncaged (film, JDM)
ratings: NC17
length: 1187 words
warnings: mentions of underage beatings
notes: it's all disanddat's fault! And well, this film is pure horrid crack, but Sharkey's character is such a textbook for child abuse and 'sins of the parents' consequences, and, well...baby!JDM is to die for. Simple as that *G* feedback welcome - disanddat story is here!

Arcadia, by sangga

Previous installments - all self-standing: Omega (prologue), Abaddon, and Arcana. It's not strictly necessary to read these before reading Arcadia, imo, but if you haven't, do read them.

It's the story of Sam, in a way (and that sounds weird, and it could/shoud be Sam's story, but it came that way and I like it). Told in bits and pieces and fragments and emotions and people. An amazingly tight pov. A great read. Quite painful at times, but never gratuitously so.
I'm so happy this was posted :) It creates an atmosphere around that stays for long. Not to miss.

I have thyroid problems (in between other issues) so I don't have the best control over my mood swings..however, this entry on the merits of profic- vs. fanfic
http://kradical.livejournal.com/868712.html

has me simply seething with anger. I am now regretting ordering the book, and I am now accusing and recognizing myself as a hypocrite because at the end of it I'll buy it and read it anyway, but truly? I'm seething.

Fire from my nostrils kind of rage.

ETA: I don't usually invoke swear-words and/or bad words in my daily RL or net language...but I am having wild mood swings, and I know it, so I came back to this entry tempted to edit out the BS word in the subject entry. But, honest to myself, I'll leave it there.Though I should point out, kradical is being quite graceful/diplomatic in dealing with it all.

I've worked through my (partly meds-induced anger) and reached the disappointment stage. Disappointment because I don't see tie-ins as intrinsically different from fanfiction, at the end of it all. They have somewhat different rules and obligations to observe, and it's the choice of the author whether to submit her work to the publishing market or the fanfiction audience. The fact that the tie-in is authorised does not make it different from a gen, plot-based fanfic.
I personally know several fanfiction writers that I'd be severely surprised were they not be published if they chose to go that way.

I suppose today is not a good day? There must be issues at work here that are more closely personal. But as a fan, I can't help but disagree with arguments that delineate difference in terms of economic success and 'alleged' quality control...

Oh well.

In other news, I found Rama II (Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee) in a second hand bookstore, and also finally got The Fall of the Kings (Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman).

ETA the 2nd: I suppose I should stay away from fandom meta (not the community, the generic activity)(and generic fandom, too) for a while. It sounds good to stay away.

FIRST OFFERING
From: Suitable Gravity, by DVS - one of my most favourite Pros novels, SCI-FI AU

Bodie picked up a shrimp-shaped bit of vegiform. "Open wide, my petal," he teased, and brought it towards Doyle's mouth.
"Only," Doyle told him, sotto voce, "if you want me to bite off your fingers."( Read more... )

SECOND OFFERING
I was hit by a fancy, and I'm writing a drabble (or double drabble) for each day, with the aim of covering each day a different genre in the fandom; possibly/hopefully some of those I've never written before.

( Pros double drabble here )
