My fic: Telling My Stories to You (Midnight Radio - Podcast, Sybil/Amelia, 646 words)

This is a couple of days after I actually posted it - but hey, I managed a ficlet for [community profile] femslashficlets! It was for the 'remainder' challenge where you can write about any of the past weekly challenges, and this is for the prompt 'story'. I wrote about Midnight Radio, which I've mentioned before and which is a lovely 10-episode self-contained f/f story in radio show format. (I had no idea what to tag it so that's why it only has five additional tags and they're all generic. *g*)

Amazingly, it has already received a comment on AO3! It's a tiny fandom - this is literally the second fic in the archive, and at 646 words it's the longer one - so I had no particularly high hopes for how soon it would find readers.

My Chocolate Box fic (Present Perfect - Doctor Who, Zoe/Isobel, rated M)

Now that Chocolate Box authors have been revealed, I can share the fic I wrote. My recipient happened to be [profile] elstaplador, with whom I share more than one fandom and ship, so I had options. I ended up writing a Zoe Heriot/Isobel Watkins story, from Classic Who. I've started several Zoe/Isobel fics before, but now I finally had to finish one, so I'm pleased.

I didn't manage to write any treats in this exchange, though I thought about many intriguing prompts. Perhaps later!

(Ratings are so hard, though, I'm not sure if this warrants Teen or Mature rating! Decided to go for the higher rating to be safe, but I've seen more descriptive Mature rated fics around than this one is.)

(Tags are hard, too, it seems that these days I go for more rather than fewer, just in case.)

My Yuletide fics (Wayfarers, This Is How You Lose the Time War, Moonbase Theta Out)

Yuletide reveals were yesterday, so here are the fics I wrote. Yes, fics in plural - this year I succeeded at writing two short treats for Yuletide Madness as well.

For my assignment, I had The Wayfarers again, but this time with a request that finally allowed me to write a Rosemary/Sissix sex scene that takes joy in the interspecies aspect of it. Also I had a really chocoholic phase when I wrote it, in case you can't tell. Luckily it seems to have worked, based on the comments.

Yes, I like putting in lots of tags. (Also, let's not speak of the fact that I altered the title several times and accidentally typo'ed this title as "Excellent Desert" without noticing it until several hours after the reveals. *facepalm* Luckily I did notice it and fixed it. There is quite a difference between the words dessert and desert.)

Both of the Madness fics I wrote were entries into new fandoms for me, hurray! Which is very understandable in both cases as they're very new fandoms. In one I even wrote the first fic for the fandom, which is rather exciting.

Yes, this is the first fic in the fandom! It's thanks to [personal profile] st_aurafina's enthusiastic recommendation of Moonbase Theta, Out, that I discovered this lovely queer sci-fi podcast drama, and when I read her request I really wanted to write something. Several of the prompts were enticing and I would have loved to write for any of them, but I ended up choosing the one where I could include dogs. And also make Roger and Alex happy because they deserve it. (I did my best to not make it obvious that I know little about gardening and have trouble keeping plants alive. I love the idea of gardening very much, however!)

And I wrote my first fic for This Is How You Lose the Time War! It was bound to happen sooner or later, I am so in love with this book. This story pretty much wrote itself when I just gave myself some time at the keyboard, and I've had lovely feedback for it, especially considering how small the fandom. I've even seen it recced twice! (Also, I got to write a dog again!)

My Femslash Exchange fic

Uh, I'm so late posting this, but here's the fic I recently wrote for Femslash Exchange! I had a bit of a stressful time with the exchange as the first story I tried writing just wouldn't come together, and I had to scrap it and literally started this one less than a day before deadline. But I enjoyed writing it and am pleased with how it came across, and happily my recipient also seems to have liked it (that comment totally made my day).

It's only my second Explicit rated fic that I've posted, and the first time I ever wrote this ship or any version of Clara. I guess I've got to own up to not-so-secretly-anymore enjoying Missy/Clara as a ship.

Many thanks for [personal profile] unfeathered for her lightning-fast beta, which definitely helped make this story better than it would have been otherwise.

My fic: Far From Home (Doctor Who - Classic | Victoria, Jamie, Second Doctor | General Audiences)

Aaah, I've kept forgetting to post this here, but I ficced some Classic Who again a while ago, another [community profile] who_contest entry. It was the amnesty round, for any of the past themes, and I ended up using the prompt "Away from Earth". Also, for once I ended up writing something serious for that community - my entries until now have tended to be predominantly silly. Although I enjoy those, it's nice to do something different every once in a while. :-)

Also, it came in second place, yay! And I've had really nice comments for it, which warms my heart.

My fic: a little Classic Who drabble (Victoria Waterfield, Two and Jamie)

Oh, a recent little tiny thing I posted on AO3, written for the [community profile] who_contest Drabble challenge. I didn't share it here earlier, because my laptop was running low on charge and my charger was Elsewhere. Posting it now that I remember! I am rather proud of actually managing to write something that only ran 100 words. I find it so much harder to write one hundred words than one thousand! Especially for anything complete. I actually wrote another drabble for the same prompt as well, but I chose this one because it managed to be more of a complete story (I'll post the other one on AO3 when I get around to it). Even if it means a continuation of only posting light-hearted stuff into that contest. Oh well, light-hearted is good, and I enjoy writing fun things.

Besides, I love this inordinately, because Victoria is a lot more awesome than people typically give her credit for.

I just realized that I forgot to share my latest completed and posted fanfic, which was written for [community profile] who_contest for the prompt "Urban Legends". I originally had a longer and plottier story in the works for this prompt, and I wish I'd gotten that written, but it just wouldn't be written on time, and finally after abandoning it, I came up with this story. Seems that "short and whimsical" is the one type of story I actually manage to write for that community.

Much belated fanfic shares from the early part of the year

It's occurred to me that I haven't shared here the last few fics I wrote, for Fandom Stocking (which was in January!) and Chocolate Box (which also has been a while, namely two months!). Actually, this has occurred to me fairly often, but not when I've been sitting down at the computer with leisure to write. As I didn't gush about my Chocolate Box gift at all here, I'm doing so at the end of the post, so check that out if you want to be recced some lovely Jane Austen femslash!

For Fandom Stocking, I wrote two little ficlets (I need to get my browser to stop correcting that word to fillets!) for [personal profile] thisbluespirit. The first was a little piece of silliness involving Two, Jamie and Zoe and historical clothing. Because 18th century aristocratic fashion will never stop being amusing.

The other fic also for [personal profile] thisbluespirit was a little Bill/Ace story. My first time writing Ace. It was lots of fun!

Also, slightly late but not too much later than deadline, I managed to post a Thirteen/Missy fic for [personal profile] trobadora. I'd written two Thirteen/Missy stories before we had more than a couple of minutes of Thirteen canon, so I wanted to give it a go now that we've actually had a season with her. Contains biscuits!

But I'll direct you to the Fandom Stocking 2018 collection if you haven't got around to checking it out in the past months, as many lovely things were created for the fest.


In February, for Chocolate Box, the "good things to eat" theme inadvertently continued in gen form as I wrote a Bill & Twelve fic. It's not all about pancakes, but there are pancakes, too. It could be called my first attempt at a five things fic if it had five parts, but it has four.

I'm excited because I've been wanting to write these two characters becoming friends for ages, and to subvert the way canon kind of sets them up against each other a lot. I've also toyed with the idea of shipping them, but when I was working on this fic, I realized I wanted it to be female friendship and that it was the natural way for the story. Judging by the first comment I had already, that choice definitely worked for at least one reader, so I'm happy.

It occurred to me that I'd forgotten to post my this year's [community profile] wintercompanion fic on AO3 after the challenge ended. Or rather, I'd started posting it but had left it as unfinished draft. So I posted it a few months late. Some of you may have read it when the challenge was ongoing and the fic was posted in the community. Anyway, I'm sharing it now. My first time writing Jack/Twelve, my second time writing the Twelfth Doctor - I think he might be one of my favourite Doctors to write! I suppose it doesn't hurt he's one of my favourite Doctors to watch, either.

It takes place well before S10 for the Doctor, when he's fairly recently come to the university where he ends up staying for quite a long time. As for Jack, takes place whenever-long-after-the-canon-we-have-for-him.
