June 2012

Fic

Werewolf Big Bang

"Strays" (AO3 | DW | LJ)
Bandom (MCR), NC-17, about 14,500 words, Frank/Gerard
Frank and Gerard's life off-tour is all about grocery shopping and blowjobs and general domestic happiness...until Gerard goes missing, and bloody scraps are all that's left behind. So when a stray dog turns up on Frank's doorstep, can anyone blame him for wanting a little normal back in his life?

Supernatural/J2 Big Bang

"More than the dirt it takes to bury them" (AO3 | DW | LJ)
Supernatural, NC-17, 24,000 words, Sam/Dean
Sam Wesson doesn't usually run off with strangers to fight what lurks in the dark. But then, Sam doesn't meet people he dreams about - people like Dean Smith - every day. It's not perfect, but he's making a difference and getting closer to Dean, so what's not to love?

Except the dreams he still can't explain. And the way he's starting to sweat and shake and itch for something he can't name. Something like demon blood.


bandom_meme and other bandom stories

"Woke up in Vegas as a werewolf again" (AO3 | DW | LJ)
Bandom (FOB/related), G, 2600 words, with Pete and a bunch of others
""Werewolves," Patrick said, patting Pete's arms like he wanted to make sure he was real. "Only you, man.""

Three times Pete was a werewolf in Las Vegas.


"shadows and sunlight" (AO3 | DW | LJ)
Bandom (MCR/Midtown), R, 1000 words, Gabe/Gerard, for [community profile] bandom_meme
Gabe could almost see light trying to escape from Gerard's skin, like some magic that wouldn't stay contained.

"your team sux" (AO3 | DW | LJ)
Bandom (MCR/Panic!), NC-17, 1700 words, Mikey/Ryan, for [community profile] bandom_meme
Mikey stumbles into Ryan at the Stanley Cup game. Literally.

Avengers stories

"Nick Fury doesn't make mistakes" (AO3 | DW | LJ)
NC-17, 2300 words, Nick Fury/Rhodey
Nick Fury doesn't make mistakes. Even when he goes to Stark Tower with a bottle of whiskey in the middle of the night.

"And it feels so good" (AO3 | DW | LJ)
G, 720 words, Steve/Bucky
"I like the future already." In which Steve and Bucky reunite.

Community-related notes

This is only applicable to [livejournal.com profile] chomalfoyfics, but: I reached the character limit on my project list! (It happened when I tried to update the post with And it feels so good, so it took me 135 stories to get there.) To compensate, I broke the list into four entries:

-Bandom
-Supernatural
-Harry Potter
-Other fandoms

That's all anyone needs to know, but this feels like a landmark, so some further notes about my fanfic: the three fandoms that got their own page are the three fandoms with the most stories. As of the end of the month, Harry Potter has forty-two stories (posted from 2003-June 2011), Supernatural has forty stories (posted from May 2008-June 2012), and bandom has twenty stories (posted from March 2011-June 2012). And there are eighteen other fandoms besides, such as Fringe (with six stories), Mad Men (with two stories, but I'd like to write more), and Twilight (four stories).

And a couple more statistics: I posted nearly 47k in fanfic this month, nearly 130k for the entire year, and four of the top five stories receiving hits on AO3 are stories I posted since May 28th. (More Than The Dirt even received the second-most hits out of all of my stories on AO3 after about a week.) Yay fandom! ♥

July 2012 and beyond

Onto the second half of 2012! Here are some of the things on the horizon:
  • [livejournal.com profile] bandombigbang Wave Three is due this month, and now that I've cleared off some of my projects (not enough, sigh), I'm definitely participating! The prequel to the story should post eventually, and if it all works out, there might even be a surprise or two. Ooh.

  • After that, I'm not officially signed up for anything, but of course I'm getting a [community profile] kink_bingo card. I'm thinking I might go for a Trans/Genderqueer Bingo this time. I'll see!
I'm keeping things relatively clear for mental health reasons - it's less stressful if I'm not trying to edit fast enough for a challenge deadline and/or artists - but it doesn't mean that I don't have plans. I'd like to finish up a couple of my in-progress series (as in, three that I can think of) and several of my in-progress one-shots (I can think of at least three or four there). I'm also thinking in advance of doing a special October series of stories with horror themes/creatures, and I'm sure I'll be poking in [community profile] bandom_meme and other places now and again. Certainly, my minimum of one fic per month will not be changing in the foreseeable future.
