that WIP meme everyone is doing.

[cornerofmadness]

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Upon request, I will post a random line or two from any of these you choose. Assuming that the file adds up to a full line, that is. (note: if it had less than a full line I didn't bother with it here)

This is surely not everything. But it’s more than enough. If I had an inkling I DID finish it and forgot to remove it from the WIP folder I didn’t post it here. OMG it’s going to be three days worth of work clearing out stuff I KNOW I’ve posted from the WIP file folder. I suck at organizing

FMA - Anger is like Fire (I believe this is Royai, the last one in the now very AU series that I started years ago before we even knew Riza had a tattoo, who Roy learned his alchemy from etc. one of the first series I ever wrote for fma)

Tangled Web- this year’s big bang (Roy/Riza, Ed/Winry, Al/OC, Havoc/Rebecca)

Circling my Heart – (written with evil_little_dog). It’s in her marking time universe, Roy/Maes, Roy/Riza, Maes/Gracia

Straying Past Boundaries – Ed/Winry/Ling, set in Xing, started a couple years back for a challenge. Got part of it done for that. Never remembered to go back to it. I think about it every so often usually when I’m up to my eyeballs in other commitments

G is for Gun – for the fma_ot4 alphabet challenge (something else that fizzled) Royia in Ishbal…I think

FMAot4anniversary – Roy/Riza/Maes/Gracia in various combinations, murder mystery and the first meeting with barry the chopper…while he’s still alive

Greedlingthird story – Ed/Winry, former Greed!Ling/Winry – sequel to Gilded Cage and Misadventures in Babysitting. Winry has a half Xingese son to one of Ling’s brothers (pretending it was the homunculus’s child). Ling thinks they’re dead but he’s about to find out differently. I lost half of this in a computer meltdown and never finished.

I dare you – this might be posted. Just a little thing, Ed and Al make drunken bets (I’m going to look this one up because this is totally postable somewhere if I haven’t)

Only a Shadow – Roy drinking. I am NOT sure if this is mine of evil little dog’s

Roymaesknife – looks like I wanted to introduce knife play into a roy/maes

Snippets from the desert- only a paragraph long but I think this is vegas crackfic where they meet the saiyuki crew or maybe soul eater (because Al needs to meet Blair)

Sjs challenge – this is something that says it was going into a longer story but honestly I’m not sure it ever did (it was probably supposed to be in my big bang)

Strands sequel – as it says, this is meant to be a sequel to Strands of Nightmare, an AU where everyone thinks Riza has shot Roy on his execution day then herself. Meanwhile, they’re alive and well living in the north with Havoc/Gracia. Riza was pregnant with twins when the Resembool Trio show up. It was started when we first learned Riza expected she and Roy to be tried as war criminals and long before we knew about Madame Christmas. All we had was an interview saying ‘Roy has sisters’ It’s also Ed/Winry and Al/Lan Fan and Al/OC as Al is a bad boy

Status – Like circling my heart it’s in evil_little_dog’s Marking Time universe and it might have been absorbed into Circling or something else. I can’t remember


Saiyuki - Candy from Strangers – (gen) this is this year’s big bang, looking like I might not be able to finish it

Holidayhakkaigojyo – started for someone Hakkai/gojyo



Jossverse - Untitled (CYA)– it was meant to fill in for someone at the choose your own author ficathon and I forgot about it like the fool I am. Oz centric

Hyperion’s Son – my great white whale, an AtS/BtVS novel that is slowly getting done, B/A, Spike/Cordy, junkie!Connor

Connor20yearsfromnow – found it while looking around. Not a freaking clue where I was going with this

Conndrunk – just a snippet of drunk Connor in his dorm. Wonders if I can finish this for the bake off or is it too long hmmm

Holidayfaithconnor – I’m thinking I started this FOR someone a few holidays ago, never got more than a few paragraphs, faith/Connor

Leaning on the Edge of E – AR, Connor centric, probably doable if/when I ever finish hyperion’s son. It’s already 4 or five chapters in


Dresden Files

Dresden Challenge – gen fic, started two years ago for Christmas, didn’t get it done, forgot it existed. Maybe this coming Christmas….

Lyraholiday08- yep this was supposed to be one for Christmas 2008 for lyrangalia. I RULE. It’s gen fic, Thomas, Harry, Karrin. I should finish this one too. It wasn’t half bad. Thomas is hiding something from Harry

Starying past Boundaries, of course!

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Ha, that's just what I was going to say!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

fine here's some of Straying for you too - “I still don’t see why you had to come to Xing with us,” Ed grumbled, eyeing what Winry thought might be a fruit stand even though she couldn’t identify the fruit in question. “We’re here to examine their different alchemy styles.” He gestured to Al and Roy. “It could be dangerous.”

“Edward, you just said so many foolish things, I don’t know where to begin,” Roy smirked. Winry sighed.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Straying - “I can’t believe I’m here.” Winry’s head snapped about as she tried to take in everything going on around her. They had only walked a block or two from the train station, carting luggage, into the congested market place. Four blond heads were garnering attention. Many of the people on the street stopped and stared. Only Mustang looked like he belong, though the cut of his suit was definitely Amestrian. “That was such a long train ride but it was worth it.”

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

You caved! How much of a slacker do you feel like right now?

I'd love to see Anger Like Fire, G is for Gun, and Straying Past Boundaries. And also roymaesknife, because that sounds incredibly hot.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I am SUCH a loser

Straying - “One day, Ed, I’m going to sit you down for a very long talk.” Roy sighed gustily.

“Put it in an alchemy book and pass it to him,” Winry replied, cool blue eyes knifing into Ed. “It’s the only way he’ll listen.”

“Especially about women.” Al laughed, tossing his head back, his pony tail slashing over his shoulders. “Besides, he always does the opposite of what you say, sir.”

“I was planning to take that into account,” Roy assured him.


Anger - Roy hated this unrest. He and Edward were over the same barrel. Bradley - or maybe he should call it Wrath - had found their weaknesses. Not that Roy supposed it was all that damn hard. All anyone needed to do was watch him and Fullmetal to see how deeply they loved their women

G is for Gun - He hates seeing the gun in her hand. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. He was meant to take care of her, he had promised her father

Roymaesknife - Desperation had a way of adding a forbidden spice to lovemaking, Roy decided as he pulled Maes into one of the caves that dotted the Ishbalan desert (is wondering if i DID finish this under a different file)

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

Like I said, most masochistic meme ever.

I like these! G is for Gun looks especially interesting, and if you find that you have posted the knife one somewhere, point me in that direction. Your MaesRoy stuff is the best.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It is. Well I DID call for a 'let's finish our WIP's' as a New Year's resolution this year.

i might have finished G is for Gun too. if i find them i will. i'm glad you liked them. did you ever read my and mjules's 30kisses Maes/Roy claim

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

My goodness you have a lot of WIPs. I think I have 5.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm demented and I finish nothing

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'd love to see something from the Dresden Files Lyraholiday08 story.

I'm also still gonna do the meme.

[a-big-apple.livejournal.com]

Ooh, lots of things I want to see lines from! Straying Past Boundaries, and I dare you, and Snippets from the desert, omg sounds cracktastic.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Straying - Winry refused to let Greed’s demands overshadow her time in Xing. If Ran Fan had told him Winry was aware of what he wanted, Winry couldn’t tell.

I dare You - “S’okay,” Al replied, only now learning that alcohol and brains didn’t mix well. “Winry! Paninya!” He called loudly to the girls they were sharing a house with.

Snippets - “Ed, you have to come try this!” Al yanked his brother towards the Star Trek Experience, nearly taking out a group of senior citizens waiting in line for the penny slots.

[a-big-apple.livejournal.com]

Haha! I desperately wanted to go to the Star Trek Experience as a teenager!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Status got swallowed by Circling.

You finished the Oz-centric story and posted it, I remember editing it.

I want you to give me something for the Greed!Ling unfinished story. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i never posted it. you did edit it.

ah yes the break my heart lost lots of it (luckily it was handwritten. one day i shall retype)

greedling/winry - “Thanks,” Winry knocked softly then slipped inside, not surprised to see Roy feeding her son who was attacking his bottle like a villain who needed slain. “I see they’re wrong. It’s not Riza working on her maternal instincts, Roy.” His first name still felt odd to her, not having moved to a first name basis with many adults and even fewer of them male.

”Paternal,” he corrected, smiling down at the baby.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if you see my version of this, all my BtVS/AtS fic went bye bye in my various crashes.

D'aww, you tease him however you want, Winry. :D

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

Do I dare ask for Holidayfaithconnor?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

there is so little of that (great icon btw) - Autumn rain sluiced down over Faith, cold, damp and utterly inadequate to wash away her regrets. She had fucked up again. She didn’t know why it surprised her. She was made for fucking up. The way B still looked at her said she would always be a worthless failure, not matter how many amens she tried to make.

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

Now that's pure Faith.

[ishte.livejournal.com]

I need to see "I Dare You".

And this will make 135 comments? holy crap! I don't think I've EvER had 135 comments on a post of mine.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

there's more of I dare you in the early comments

“Whatcha doing, brother?” Ed asked.

“You said first person right?” Al caught Roy and kissed him sloppily then pretty much passed out against him.


most of them are rpgs i think

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! that's great! You're aware that Ed ended up having a nice kiss with Roy because of a similar situation, right? Not a dare, but a bet, which might as well be a dare.

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Course... I can't read past the first few... and it's 145 not 135... Still...

My version of this meme has only gotten one single comment... and it didn't ask for a line from one of them. *pouts*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha i think it's just me and ELD rpging

i didn't even see yours. LJ has been weird lately about populating my list
