Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Day 8
In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created.

There are a lot of fics that I've written that I still like which is a good thing. Here are three, not necessarily The Best, but fics that I could read more than once.

Another Time, Another Life - L.A. Confidential (Bud White/Ed Exley) - I've always thought that L.A. Confidential held a lot of slashy subtext between Ed & Bud. The last scene, with what's said and isn't said, is a perfect example of that. In this fic, I turn the subtext into text and it's a nice little look at what could have been between them.

Five Times Giles & Anya Could Have Met - Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Rupert Giles/Anyanka (Anya Jenkins) - I like the structure of the five times fics and being able to explore Rupert's backstory and mix canon with AU was fun. Anya meets Rupert several times - first when he is nearly ten years old, the second when he's a demon summoner, then touching on canon at the high school, once during an AU season six, and once post-series. Ethan is there for some of the fun as well. It's funny and sweet with a touch of romance.

The White Rabbit of Unit B - OZ (James Robson & Vern Schillinger) - De-aging is one of my favorite tropes to read and when I got a prompt about the effects of the anti-aging drugs gone wrong, I had to jump at it. And who better to de-age than a tough as nails Neo-Nazi. There are several OZ pieces that I could have chosen, but I like the humor in this one. For those who haven't read it yet, please note that given the characters involved, it is by no means politically correct.

oz_magi is open for business.

So sharpen those shanks and go here for details.

A million-and-one Beecher/Keller-centric songs and not one for my OTP.

Yet.

Have to keep looking. The words are out there somewhere, I just know it.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, the information you need is here.

Jump in and take part!

I wrote 2 stories for this year's oz_magi.

In the Cards for apple_pie_champ - Dino survives and has to look after Peter. McManus is a dick, Adebisi is a little bit creepy, and Ryan is his usual conniving self.

Somewhere in the Andes a Butterfly Flaps Its Wings for jalu2 - Ryan's mind went in circles, following the path of his feet, hitting the same question with a new angle. What if things had been different?

And I received 2 wonderful stories

Needs & Wants by vanillalime - Sean makes a habit of coming to Tim's rescue

A Baby in Oz by ozsaur - Claire leaves her baby in the breakroom and the staff fawns over it. Tim gets paternal & Sean gets wistful.

There are many more wonderful stories over there so visit oz_magi and take a look. Thanks again to trillingstar for running the challenge this year!

Just want to let everyone know that the halfamoon community is up and running until February 14. It's a good time to celebrate female characters in movies, TV, and lit with fics, poems, picspams, fanmixes, vids, meta, etc. So if you have a favorite female that doesn't get enough love and attention, now's the time to do something about it. (In fact, you can even put up a post entitled "Female Characters that Don't Get Enough Love and Attention"). Enjoy.

If anybody has an interest in writing a little femslash in the Buffy/Angel/Firefly worlds, you have two days to register for the latest femslash_minis challenge.

Why am I mentioning this now?

Glad you asked. Every ten rounds, an author gets to choose a theme, this time around it's my turn - femslash based around one of the AFIs 100 Greatest Movie Quotes.

So if this seems to interest you and you feel like participating in a fic exchange with a fairly quick turn around time, check it out.

Here endeth the pimp.

For the three or four of you who watch "Justified"...
