Yes, most of my WiPs are Merlin fics. [Mar. 1st, 2009|03:28 pm]

Gacked from [info]torakowalski: Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!

1. "Ah, good." Rodney snatched away one of the buckets and padded barefoot to the bathroom. Several other buckets of ice were lined up on the tile. "I waited to run the bath." He turned the cold water on full.

2. Based on dad's journal he'd narrowed the possibilities to a curse, possession (which he quickly disproved), the influence of a demigod, or a complete mental breakdown on Dean's part. As Dean smiled at a biker who bent over to dump his trash, Sam decided not to rule out the last.

3. "Jack. Okay. Let's say I did have a yard sale. How many people in Boulder do you think will buy Epistemology in Ancient Mesopotamia for fifty cents?"

4. "You may play with my hair," Arthur said.

5. "Pick it up!" Arthur actually whacked Merlin's bottom with the flat of his blade. "No cowards on the practice field. I won't allow it."

6. "I shall mock your tonsure," Arthur assured him, although it was a little too soon for lightness and Merlin flinched.

Now which of these is part two from The Care & Feeding of Unicorns?

An Archive Of Our Own: progress report [Feb. 28th, 2009|10:37 am]
[Tags|, , , , , ]
[Current Mood | busy]
[Current Music |Steppenwolf -- born to be wild]

Chipping away at uploading the older stories. 53 of my fics are now uploaded to An Archive Of Our Own.

96 to go.

The Beg Me For It series is now up at the Archive.

I've taken "Celebrate Life" out of the flow of the story, although I will upload it as a separate fic within that universe. I've done the same with the 20 or so drabbles.

Question: would you like me to do the same on my website? Am I right that it's irritating to have to plough through a series of drabbles to get to the next part of the series?

Hey, a friend met Rick Anderson. [Sep. 3rd, 2008|09:00 pm]
[Tags|]

Cool. I just heard that a friend of a friend was working up in the arctic circle when an MGM television crew stopped by their cooking camp.

Apparently how it works is that they fly people up there, set up a camp, and then anyone who's doing anything in the arctic goes that camp for supplies and food.

MGM was filming Stargate Continuum.

She met Rick Anderson and the entire SG-1 crew. I'll let you know if I hear any anecdotes.

Fighting depression with memes. That WIP meme. [Aug. 20th, 2008|08:20 am]
[Tags|, , ]
[Current Mood | Awful. Really, really awful.]

Ask me about any of my stories, or anything about what I've mentioned working on, or something you'd like to see me work on, and I'll share what I have (without too much spoiling), or tell you where I'mgoing/what I'd do.


  • Of course this means Out Of Bounds.

  • This also means that "John litters the Pegasus galaxy with (oops) babies" fic.

  • Any of my HP fics, such as my unfinished Reunion are also fair game.

  • It's also open season on any of my shorter fics, drabbles that you're curious what might happen next, and SG-1 fics.

Still gloating. Gen I have wrote. [Aug. 9th, 2008|04:52 pm]

[Current Music |gavin rossdale - adrenaline]

I'm allowed to gloat twice in one day, aren't I?

How about continous gloating for several hours?

[info]seticat is seeking Harry Potter Gen recs.

Do you folks read HP Gen? I would like to pass some recs along.

It may surprise some to know that, yes, I do occasionally write Gen. It's accidental and I try to keep it to a minimum, but fanfic is a bit like breeding orchids. Sometimes you get unexpected results.

Gen I have wrote (with excuses):

I've written since 2001, drabbles included, 170 stories.

Huh. Wow.

The raw list, no, no links. Just counting my gold here, move along, this is actually quite dull. )

List, unnumbered, with links, and I didn't pull out the duplicates and translations here. )

Podcasting for school.

My verbal drills are to be sent to my professor via mp3 recording. This is what happens when your professor is from India. All my Indian professors love technology.

If I were to -- hypothetically speaking -- record some podfic while Audacity's open anyway, what stories should I record?

New York to recognize gay marriages from other states. And Canada. [May. 29th, 2008|12:50 am]
[Tags|, ]
[Current Mood | awake]

New York is going to recognize gay marriages from other states.

Aside from the fact that this is wonderful, this is going to clear up a major bureaucratic hassle. I've heard that divorces are particularly problematic when your marriage is not recognized in the first place. State agencies have been left boggled not knowing what to do.

And think of the child custody of married gay couples, now secure (hopefully). The health insurance benefits. Having access to your partner if they're in the hospital, able to make decisions on their behalf if they're incapacitated. Your will being reconized. Hell, even stupid stuff like the phone company letting you ask questions about you and your partner's phone bill.

In honor of this, I bring back my not-cloying-I-promise gay marriage fic, written when the first gay servicemen got married in Ontario:

Fools Can Dream, Stargate SG-1, Jack/Daniel, PG-13
Jack thought it would be cool to have the wedding in space.

Well, that was fun. Fiddling with Website. [Apr. 26th, 2008|10:31 pm]
[Tags|, , , ]
[Current Mood | fiddling]

I blew off an entire day. *guilty grin*

I did reorganize the Harry Potter fics on my website. Make them easier to navigate, like my Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis pages.

I've linked the fan art and translations to each story page (s), so they're no longer sitting by themselves on the <href="http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/artpage.html">fan art</a> and translations pages but people can clickity-do-dah when they find the stories. Of course, since many links go straight to the fic, ideally I'd have them in the story itself, but one step at a time.

Of interest to (I imagine) no one but me: Fanhistory.com imported the publish dates of all my fics. This is something that I'd planned to do myself someday as a way to gloat look at the development of my writing style. (Also of interest only to me, and maybe dad.) Cool.

I writes lotsa fic, I do.

For those with little time, a handful of drabbles. [Dec. 12th, 2007|03:22 pm]
[Tags|, , ]
[Current Mood | depressed]

Like I said earlier, I'm having a miserable day. A depressing day, in fact. No, I don't want to talk about it. No, there's nothing I can do about it.

I'm going to curl up in a ball and write. And hide. And not come out.

So I'm giving you: Comfort fic. Soft, fluffy happy stuff. Comic stories. Stories where there's never any doubt of a happy ending. The ones that make me feel good from beginning to end. After all, surely I'm not theonly onehaving a bad day?

Given I often write to cheer myself up, there are quite a few comfort fics in the candybox. Here's the last post of four, for those of you still in finals with zero time on your hands.

Silly drabbles like a box of chocolates:

Appalling Hurt/Comfort Fic. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John/Rodney. PG-13
A send-up of post-Trinity fics. Rodney is sorry, truly, truly sorry for blowing up three-fifths of a solar system. Thank goodness John is there to comfort him. With roman baths.

Not A Pretty Sight. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John/Rodney. Zelenka. PG
This accidental voyeurism fic was in the kink post, but let's throw it in here because it's fun to see Zelenka crack up.

Power Napping. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John, Rodney. Gent. PG.
John has a super power: Napping. And he uses it to get Rodney to sleep.

Double Bed. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John/Rodney. PG-13
Set in Astolat's A Beautiful Lifetime Event universe with her permission, John realizes it's obvious where he sleeps.

Pastoral Symphony. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John/Rodney. R
Rodney first thing in the morning makes John wonder what he sees in the guy.

Pavlovian. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John/Rodney. R
Rodney teases John with imaginary weapons.

Class A's. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John/Rodney. R
Rodney's about to get a Nobel Prize but he's distracted by the uniform.

Ron/Teaspoon. Fandom: Harry Potter. Ron/Teaspon. R
My attempt to explain the icons that read: Ron/Teaspoon = OTP.

Realistic Morning Sex. Fandom: Harry Potter. Ron/Draco. R
Koanju wanted "realistic" morning sex with bad breath and everything. Okay. Here's some very realistic morning sex.

Percy Weasley Finds A Loophole. Fandom: Harry Potter. Percy/Dumbledore. R
Percy thinks he can get out of the, cough, services required of the Head Boy.

The Big Secret. Fandom: Harry Potter. Percy/Bill. R
The incest drabble that is not an incest drabble.

Ron As 'Q'. Fandom: Harry Potter. Ron. Sirius. Gen. Crossover with James Bond. PG-13
Hey, Ron As 'Q' won a drabble award and everything. Ron invents Auror gadgets in use by Auror Sirius. Um. Except they have a few bugs.

Guye Fawkes Day. Fandom: Harry Potter. Twins. Dumbledore. Gen. PG
The Weasley twins create mayhem at Hogwarts as Dumbledore knowingly looks on.

A Little Night Music. Fandom: Harry Potter. Hermione/Rita. The closest I've ever come to Femmeslash. PG-13
Hermione took Rita home over the summer but Rita Skeeter still finds ways to get under her skin.


Okay. That's all for now. Enjoy your comfort fic. I'm now prepared to curl up in a ball.

Given I oftenwrite to cheer myselfup, there are quite a few comfort (nothurt/comfort) fics in the candybox. Here's post number three. Yes, I think it's clear what motivates me to write.

Happy romance, with at most a teeeeny bit of angst, but only as a seasoning:

Out Of Bounds. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John/Rodney. NC-17
Ah, yes. The current massive WIP mention in the AU post. What's not to love about a figure skating romance?

Fools Can Dream. Fandom: Stargate SG-1. Jack/Daniel. PG-13
The non-cloying marriage fic. These are few and far between.

Special Delivery. Fandom: Harry Potter. Ron/Harry. R
And embarrassed Ron and Harry take delivery of a new bed. (Set in Martha's Circles of Power universe, with Martha's permission.)

The Albatross. Fandom: Harry Potter. Snape/Percy. PG-13
Told from Hermione's point of view, an unlikely pair quietly run a shope together off of Knockturn Alley.

In November. Fandom: Harry Potter. Ron/Neville. PG-13
Another to not fear the pairing. It's a 100-word drabble and soft and gentle.


Warm, snuzzly Gen:

Self Sufficiency. Fandom: Supernatural. wee!Chesters. PG
One of the quiet moments in the Winchester household. John gives a squirming Sam and Dean haircuts.


Honest, Icarus, I don't have time for these long stories. Just give me a boxful of drabbles.

I'm having a miserable day. No, I don't want to talk about it. No, there's nothing I can do about it.

I'm going to curl up in a ball and write. And hide. And not come out.

In the meantime, I will give you: Comfort fic. Soft, fluffy happy stuff. Comic stories. Stories where there's never any doubt of a happy ending. The ones that make me feel good from beginning to end. After all, surely I'm not the only one having a bad day.

Given I often write to cheer myself up, there are quite a few comfort (not hurt/comfort) fics in the candy box. I'll do this in three posts.

First, have some porn! This is only my happy, comfy porn:

Early Birds Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John/Rodney. NC-17
Here's first-thing-in-the-morning, sleepy-happy porn.

Hotel California Fandom: Stargate SG-1. Jack/Daniel. NC-17
How about first time porn out in a boat -- with rimming?

Oh, What A Night Fandom: Stargate SG-1. Jack/Daniel. NC-17
Almost unclassifiable. A wacky SGC party with drunken stripping, bad dancing, and a game of poker played with a deck of tarot cards.

Shy Guy Fandom: Stargate SG-1. Jack/Daniel. NC-17
Pure, unadulterated storage closet porn. Where they could be caught on base for that extra black ops thrill.

Unconditional Fandom: Supernatural. Sam/Dean. NC-17
The rating sort of goes without saying in this context, eh? Hoodoo ritual sex and two brothers razzing each other all the way through it.

Skinny Dipping with the follow up Christmas Lilies Fandom: Harry Potter. Harry/Percy. NC-17
This one is hard to find on archives. Skinny Dipping isn't on a lot of sites because Harry is fourteen years old while Percy is eighteen. Yet it's not really chan since Harry isn't drastically younger or less mature than Percy and has none of the power issues of the genre. Instead it's gentle exploration... and there's that lake and teenage sneaking around....

Two Men On Top Fandom: Harry Potter. Ron/Snape. NC-17
Don't run from the weird pairing. This is probably the steamiest story I've ever written.


I'd rather have comedy, thanks.

During finals... AUs and crossovers! [Dec. 8th, 2007|08:11 pm]

[Current Mood | cheerful]

For finals entertainment, an incredible amount of distraction. While I bask in good news. :D

No, no, I'm not going to tell you.

One more final left. In the meantime, I'm watching Fight Club and distracting you.

I rarely write AUs but when I do, they're loooooooooong. I guess it's all that worldbuilding --

Beg Me For It. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Fandom: Harry Potter. Ron/Draco, Percy. NC-17. ~75,000 words

Out Of Bounds. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. John/Rodney. NC-17. ~95,000 words so far.

Except when they're not --

Binary Roles. Fandom: Stargate SG-1. Jack/Daniel (sort of). NC-17.


The only two crossovers I've written --

Colony Atlantis. Fandom: Stargate SG-1/Stargate Atlantis. Jack/Daniel. R.

Up From The Bowels Of The Earth. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis/Supernatural. Gen. PG-13.

And the finals continue, so for you I have: Incest. [Dec. 6th, 2007|05:42 pm]
[Tags|, , , ]
[Current Mood | chatty]

My cat is now demanding that I feed him. He's butting my shoulder with his head. Hard. Hard enough to rock me. (Big cat.)

The [info]wildernessguru has a movie with which to entertain himself, although at the moment he's nursing a mild hangover from going out with friends last night and is trying to rehydrate in the tub. Somehow, I suspect Fight Club is not on the menu tonight.

And now I distract my friends... with incest.

This category is much easier to define than kink. It either is incest, or it isn't. Obviously only the fandoms that feature families tend have incest fics (sorry, Stargate folks, I suppose I could make an effort to write Rodney/Jeannie). But incest comes in many different flavors:

Wincest

Unconditional. Fandom: Supernatural. Sam/Dean. NC-17.
You gotta love a fandom whose main pairing is incestuous. How about some playful hoodoo ritual Wincest?

Twincest

Ante Up Fandom: Harry Potter. Fred/George. NC-17.
I read one too many twincest fics featuring Weasley Family Trauma and wondered, hey, wait. Where's the twins' iconoclastic humor? The two boys keep daring each other. Line? What line?

And plain old incest

Not My Affair. Fandom: Harry Potter. Ron/Percy. R.
How about some accidental incest? With tough implications -- and over a year's worth of clean-up afterward. (I always liked Bill in this.)

Here Again. Fandom: Harry Potter. Percy/Arthur. NC-17.
Then there's some parent/child incest with strange power issues.

The Big Secret. Fandom: Harry Potter. Percy/Bill. PG-13.
Finally, some incest meta fic mocking how incest is thrown in (from time to time) just for shock value. Yes, well, this time no one's shocked.


Enjoy your boys! Tomorrow: Hmm... should I do AUs, or Romance?

The kinkiest stories I've ever written. [Dec. 4th, 2007|11:19 pm]
[Tags|, , ]

When I'm busy, I like to keep Monte kitty entertained with a little feather toy. Then I'll put a movie on for [info]wildernessguru. And for you guys, I present...

Kinky stories I've written. Assume all of these are NC-17/

The Four Kinkiest:

Lost in the Temple of Law. Fandom: Supernatural. Sam/Egocentric Transsexual.
Highly explicit, involving a dildo, an older transsexual with a young college kid -- and did I mention the transsexual part?

Unexpected Guest. Fandom: Harry Potter. Harry/Ron/Snape.
The most pornographic story I've ever written. Pages and pages of three-way sex. It is almost never reviewed (what can you say about pure porn?) yet remains pretty much the most popular story on my site. The people who admit to reading it say that, cough, they've read it more than once.

Sex, Drugs & Death Eater Rock. Fandom: Harry Potter. Ron/Draco.
Crossdressing. The set-up makes more sense if you start with the first part, Beg Me For It. But if you just want the kink, hand wave over the circumstances (sure, sure, prison, apartments, whatever) and watch Draco crossdress, dance, and get quite high -- while dragging a slightly unwilling Ron along with him.

Council of Obvious Edicts. Fandom: Harry Potter. Harry/Percy.
More crossdressing. What can I say, I have a thing. Only this time with corsetry. And humor. Percy tries to pass as femme in public.


Less kinky (at least on the [info]wildernessguru scale of kink) but still on the list:

Tanlines & Dogtags. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. Sheppard/Lorne.
Mild exhibitionism. A (straight) Major Lorne takes nude photos of his commanding officer.

Zen Taxi. Fandom: Harry Potter. Percy/Draco.
Public masturbation in taxi. Percy protesteth too much as Draco puts on a little show in a Muggle taxi cab.

Not A Pretty Sight. Fandom: Stargate Atlantis. McKay/Sheppard, Zelenka.
Accidental voyeurism. Zelenka walks in on John and Rodney's, uh, intimate moment in a very public place.

Two Way Mirror. Fandom: Harry Potter. Percy/Snape.
Explicit glory hole sex. (WG insists a glory hole isn't kink.) Percy descends into a seedy underworld of easy gay sex in the wizarding world.

Pin-Up Percy. Fandom: Harry Potter. Percy.
Mild humiliation and unintentional exhibitionism. Percy is tricked into posing nude.


Kinky drabbles:

Safeword. Fandom: Harry Potter. Percy/Snape.
S&M, psychotropic potion use. Drabble. Snape, Percy and a horsehair whip.

Rat For Dessert. Fandom: Harry Potter. Snape/Peter.
Implied S&M and humiliation. Drabble. Peter finds out what his initiation into the Death Eaters entails.

Just Desserts. Fandom: Harry Potter. Snape/Peter.
Boot-licking, dubious consent, humiliation. Drabble. A vengeful Snape fantasizes and torments Peter. Actually, all four parts of the dessert series are humiliation, but this one is the most sexual.


Surprisingly, not a single one of my SG-1 stories count as kink, unless you have a a thing for Daniel using a gun. Non-sexually. But....


Tomorrow: Incest fics!
