Otter's Rock

I'm feeling the need to write something different. You know what that means; fic prompt time. So. Anyone who wants me to write them a fic, comment here. Fics will be at least 500 words long. Each person should make at least two requests, of which I will write one. Each request should contain one or more characters from the list below and a short prompt (theme, quote, etc). ONE request may be for a sequel/timestamp/missing scene/etc. from a fic I have already written. (For instance, I would not be averse at all to writing something more in the universe where Maria von Trapp from the Sound of Music was a Potential.) Crossovers are acceptable, provided I am familiar with both fandoms. I do not write slash or explicit sex.

Here is my current WIP list:

xover_exchange fic.  (And once it's done, I'll probably have Yuletide to start.)

Desert Between sequel, set several years later focusing on Spock's Vulcan wife.  And what she thinks of the whole situation.  (I'm still not sure this is what would happen, if this is the choice Uhura would make; but laurajv wanted to know what would happen if it did, and upon reflection I realized so did I.)

DS9 original character fic that's been on the backburner for some time but is slowly moving up my priority list.  It began out of my fascination with Vulcans, and my love of Bajor and DS9, and my realization that it was highly unrealistic that the only non-Vulcans we see marry Vulcans are Humans, and there's a whole Federation out there.  So I set out to write a Vulcan/Bajoran love story.  Which then got bogged down.  I have since realized that it is not, in fact, a love story.  It is a gen friendship story, about growing and learning and respecting culture despite differences, and about being in transition.  It's one of those where I'm not sure it will ever be finished, but I like it and so keep going back and fiddling with it.

Batman Beyond--Terry and guns.  A short meditation on guns and the way people react to them that hradzka rightly pointed out needed an actual, you know, plot to go with the philosophy.  I will get back to it some day.

Superman Movieverse/DC fic to the same plot bunny that spurred ljs_lj to write Biopsychology (and are you ever going to get around to writing that new sequel to it?)  My version is quite different, as the plot would focus on/be triggered by Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) arriving on Earth.  It's mostly about her and her issues and what she thinks of Earth and her cousin (and, eventually, his screwed-up love life, which is where the plot bunny comes in).  Since I finished my Richard-focused post-Superman Returns fic "A Family Story," I've had very little motivation to get back to this one, so it's staying on the back burner for now.  Maybe next year.  (I do intend to eventually get back to it.)

BSG AU called Jumping Time (and this may be the only time in my life I've ever been able to come up with a title before I had to post the fic).  Of all my WIPs, the least likely to get finished because while I have quite a number of scenes for it running around my head, I have no plot to tie them together with.  Basically, at the end of the series when Kara jumps the Galactica, instead of finding a new Earth they find themselves back in time about 6 months before the Cylon attack, and decide that the best way to save the Colonies is for the Rebel Cylons and the Final Five to infiltrate the Cylons and stage a coup against the Ones

I have several other plot bunnies, but those are the ones that not only have files, they have files pinned to my start bar so I can access them easily and they will stay in my head.

What I should be working on, fic-wise:

*this year's sg_rarepairings entry (1400 words done, no idea how long it will turn out to be, probably at least two times as long as it is now)

*the four prompts from this round that don't have stories written for them yet. One of the ones yet to be written really interests me, two are so-so, one doesn't inspire me at all and may just be quietly dropped.

What I am working on: the post-Superman Returns story that's been sitting on my hard drive since January of 2007. (No, ljs_lj, not the Biopsych plot bunny, the other one that's six months older than that one.) Have finally figured out what I hope is the last elephant between me and finishing it, then will send it off to beta to see what someone else thinks of it. (It's been sitting in my head and been re-thought so many times I'm not quite sure about it.)

htbthomas wrote me a fic for my birthday. It's a fun twist on the Superman Returns cliche.

I needed the pick-me-up. I leave for Pennsylvania at six in the morning on Friday, and there are some things that simply have to be done between now and then. Such as finishing the bridesmaid dresses. I thought I was in good time; all that needed to be done was the final fitting to make sure everything fits right with the zipper in, and mark where the hem needed to be. It had been fitted before I put the zipper in, so I wasn't anticipating it needing any alteration. Yeah. It needed an inch and a half taken in at the waist. That's not "take in the zipper an eighth inch or so," that's "take it apart and put it back together." I have no idea how I screwed up that badly. So, yeah, a lot more work and a lot more stress than I really wanted my last few days at home.

So, I'm writing, getting in my daily word count, continuing a disagreement between Kal-El and the Jor-El hologram. All of a sudden Kal-El thinks something to himself that comes out of nowhere as far as I'm concenrned, but it explains so much about Movieverse Superman, it's just amazing. I don't think I've ever read quite this take on it, but I could be wrong; in any case, thank you, Kal-El for sharing that with me. It's making my job so much easier. It's also telling me that I'm really getting the character down.
