Trivia that wasn't

[cornerofmadness]

There was supposed to be a trivia night but when me and my friends got to the Colony Club it had been canceled. Ah well. We had dinner anyhow and I went to the library and committed the sin of getting out books (because dammit I NEED to whittle down my own TBR pile). Bad CoM, BAD!

If they dont' fix the heat in the damn science buildings there might be a revolt. It's STILL in the 90s in my lab and the class room isn't much better. I think this is how I'll die

I got my chocolate box assignment. NOT what I was expecting but it should be a lot of fun.

I also see fandom_stocking has the stockings in need up. Ugh I have three I want to finish and I'm not sure I can pick up anything on top of those three stories.



Day 8 -In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


You would think this is easy but it really isn't.

Hyperion's Son BtVS/AtS You knew I'd pick this one now that it's finished. Yes it is a crossover fan novel, an alternative reality where much of season 5 of Angel didn't happen (especially Origins where in a leaking spell leaves Connor thinking he's insane and self medicating with heroin.

Fata Viam Invenient Another BtVS/AtS cross over that was written long before Origins. I do think it's amusing that I had put Connor with Gwen before the comic book did (this one is a bit kinkier)

Psychadelic Butterfly BtVS, set in Giles's misspent youth where Ripper unknowingly meets Spike/Dru and a backfiring spell causes a certain vampire to gender swap.

Some Like It Tied Up Fullmetal Alchemist, Roy/Riza, kinky a bit and somehow this is my story with the most hits according to statistic. Blinks

In Each Other Fullmetal Alchemist, Roy/Riza, Ed/Winry, my second most popular story according to AO3. It's a big bang based on just a gorgeous piece of fan art

Source of Sorrow Fullmetal Alchemist, Roy/Riza, Ed/Winry, the whole Sorrow series is probably my favorite for this fandom (and I HAVE to get one of them on AO3, it's missing)

Two Graves Saiyuki, sort of Hakkai/Gojyo, Goku/Sanzo and OMG I have almost none of my Saiyuki stuff on AO3. Guess I know what I'm doing once I move my Buffy stuff. THis one is about a serial killer

The Elagabalus’s Wine I wrote exactly two Vassalord stories but this story is #3 most popular I have on AO3 and I would have sworn it was #1

And lastly here are two original things I did for a holiday challenge, two new stories I'm noodling around with to write. Granted, the closest they've come to being betaed is me running spellcheck BUT if you want to peek at them and see what you think of the characters, that would be so cool.

New England urban fantasy I had more of this but it died with the flashdrive. I'm still holding out hope my friend can retrieve it.

Steampunk vampire hunter This came out of a conversation I had with myself (hush) when I said I'd like to cosplay a steampunk Van Helsing then decided, why cosplay when I could WRITE her.

So remember the other night when I told you that I submitted 2 pairings I've never done before to make the minimum offers for chocolateboxcomm? GUESS WHICH ONE I WAS ASSIGNED. xD

Thankfully the recipient said genfic was fine, so I should be able to get something together fairly easily for a gen prompt.

My 20th fill for fandom_stocking is up to 5k and only halfway done...

[cornerofmadness]

Oh naturally. Honestly I has half expecting that myself. Good luck. I have written mine (which is actually requested gen fic) before and thankfully because I don't even KNOW the other two fandom options.

Look at you go. I need to stop dicking around tonight and at least finish one more stocking and start another.

[enemytosleep]

Yeah whoever was assigned you got all 3+ of your requests so they may or may not know the other fandoms depending on what your requested. You only had to match on one of them to be assigned to them. I submitted SO many FMA and Voltron prompts, but only two for Inuyasha and Natsume. Inuyasha I can write lots of pairings, but they only had 4 tags to choose from and I only have written for 1 of them. Natsume, of course, was the one I got. THANK FUCK FOR GEN FIC.

People have already posted fills for the needy stockings so I really hope we can get them all filled before next week. Fingers crossed.

[cornerofmadness]

Yeah so while it would have been cool to have a couple prompts to pick from I'm fine with what I have (it's FMA). I need to get an idea for it.

Good luck with yours

No stockings here, still dicking around

[enemytosleep]

Message me the letter link if you want me to toss some ideas for FMA. I already have an idea for mine now that I've been in the shower LOL I'm not going to start it until I finish the stocking behemoth though.

[cornerofmadness]

Sure thing. And yeah me either. Well first edit the story I get PAID for, then more stockings, then this and by then it'll be whatever the hell else I signed up for at this point

[pattrose]

I've never seen Buffy, except on Angel. But I'm going to check it out later. Thanks for the recs.

[cornerofmadness]

I enjoyed them both (the first couple stories here have most characters from both shows) if you try them I hope you like it.

[bay_alexison]

Oh man, I remember the FMA Reverse Bang! Indeed that fanart is very beautiful and I too was happy to have that art assigned to me to write a story for!

The artist doesn't do FMA fanart anymore sadly, but I still keep up with her on Twitter!

[cornerofmadness]

Wasn't that fun? I wrote another FMA story way early on to an art prompt (I mean WAY early on, I want to say like 2005-2007). I enjoy writing to art.

Aw that is too bad but cool that you have her on twitter.
