Fic reposting and posting summary
Apparently some people find round-up posts like this obnoxious. May I suggest scrolling or not clicking? For my part, yes, it's self-promotion, just in case, but it's also a chance to write a little about the writing process or what the fics mean to me. Anyway, if you're interested, over the past week and a half I've reposted the following:
No friend to those with noses (Dark Angel) G. Joshua, Alec. 488 words.
First posted: Late December 2005. Summary: A smelly cat is no friend to those with noses; Joshua has a snout.
A clear view (Dark Angel) PG. Alec, Max, Mole, Dalton (Max/Alec implied). 880 words.
First posted: January 2006. Summary: Alec rescues Dalton, Max is furious at how he did it and Terminal City gets entertained for free.
Days, weeks, months and years (ER) PG. Haleh, Neela and Ray. First posted: February 2006. Two post ‘Dream House’ 12.06 drabbles.
Yesterday, I crossposted: Epicinium (Smallville) Teen. Lois, Chloe, Clark, Gabe, Lana. 2,682 words. Coda for 4.8 ‘Spell’.
Summary: The aftermath of the eighteenth birthday party that Lois and Chloe don’t remember.
The two Dark Angel ficlets are tongue in cheek. 'No Friend To Those With Noses', which made me laugh when I looked it over, is pretty cartoonish and 'A Clear View' rips off a POTC scene. It took a while to find my saved Word documents of that story because I’d saved them with a jokey title that makes sense when you’ve read the fic, but is a pain over a decade later when the connection isn’t so obvious,
I feel I should write more comic fic, but I am so glad to be writing what I am writing (even if it’s not ready to post yet.)
'Days, Weeks, Months and Years' are two drabbles that are codas (or responses) to ER’s 12.06 ‘Dream House’. 'One' focuses on Haleh. 'Two' focuses on Neela and Ray. The title applies to both drabbles in a different way. I was working on an entirely different series of drabbles last week too, so the discipline of writing a drabble and weighing/counting every word was on my mind.
Posting that inspired me to post 'Epicinum'. As I’ve said, I’ve been resurrecting WIPs and editing and polishing older fic of late. This fic was one of the later group, and I thought it was ready to post, but held back for probably the same reasons as when I first wrote it (which I think must be the autumn of 2013, so I don’t remember much about which sections came first – I have a feeling that the fic grew from certain scenes after I rewatched the episode, but I’m not sure. I added a few hundred words in the redrafting this month.) Anyway, I was probably thinking ‘Who’d care?’ as it was such a time since the episode first aired but as I’d reposted reaction fic to an episode of ER that I barely remembered, why not?
That's all a lot of gen. There is Max/Alec and Neela/Ray lurking in those fics, but that's related to how I see those fandoms. I have been writing het, but it's not ready to post yet for various reasons.
I don't know if I'll be able to continue reposting fic as regularly, although given that I'm only up to the start of 2006 and only started Dreamwidth in 2009, I don't want to stop again.
