“Having Your Cake” got a review asking how old Ed and Lucy were in it. And I realized that maybe I wasn’t very clear on that. I’d been thinking “Last Battle” era (making them both consenting adults) but I failed to mention that anywhere or give any concrete clues. No wonder it hasn’t gone over well. It might need tweaking anyway.

I also got one saying someone loved “Hands Clean” but thought I should go back and expand some stuff, etc. Which I actually would do if I had the time because I agree-it needed work and some day I'll either have to fix it or take it down but I can’t go back and rewrite such a long story when I really need to write things that can be, if not published, at least better practice for getting things published. Unless I decide to do the story again but in my own universe or something… I’d have to find a way to make it make logical sense independent of the Potterverse. And since the story is kind of “wtf was I smoking?”* in the first place. Well. Most of my Potterverse fic wouldn’t work in any other universe.

I can't continue the J/MM fic until I decide exactly where they are and who they're with and where they plan to go next.

Narnia Comment of the Day )

As far as my ballet mystery is going, it's limping along. Something is missing from it.

**answer: nothing at all. My brain is a strange place.

TITLE: Hinech Yafa 1/1 (the long version of a Porn Battle prompt)
Fandom: Bible
Pairing: Jesus/Mary Magdalene
Prompts: gown, green, sleet, steep
Notes: Title comes from the Idan Raichel Project song (okay, yes, and the Bible but I was listening to the song), based on poetry by Solomon.
Also, there is a severe lack of anything resembling porn in this (and possibly a lot of historical license). Thank you [info]threeorangesfor the emergency beta.

The fireworks are going off again. It's no longer the Fourth, it's Town Fair Day, but I think my neighbors just like having fireworks on weekends.

There are some other fandoms I've been interested in lately. I'm getting very into Monk, but I also don't feel like that's a good fic writing fandom for me. I have a couple of Gemma Doyle bunnies. And two fics, Bible and HP, that I still haven't *finished*. And well, like five original projects...heh.

GAAH THERE THEY GO AGAIN

But I've just done the 10 Song Shuffle Challenge. You put on your IPOD or playlist and set it to shuffle. Then you write one drabble or ficlet for the first ten songs you hear. You're supposed to write the fic during the song and stop when it's done. It's kind of addictive....of course I cheated, obviously. And I only have nine because the last song that came up, I just couldn't make anything work for. Might try this for other fandoms.

All Narnia themed this time-mostly gen and one het incest )

David and the Green Eyed Monster

TITLE: David and the Green Eyed Monster 1/1
Author: babydraco
Fandom: Bibleslash
Pairing: David/Jonathan
Rating: NC17
Summary: Jonathan had a whole life before he met David, and David doesn’t handle that well.
Notes: I didn’t use the formal language in this one, and I was less than careful about historical accuracy. I won’t have time to write fan fics for awhile, other than ones I’ve already promised to do, so I just wanted to have some fun.
Disclaimer: Some guy who’s been dead for thousands of years owns these characters who are based on real people. So there is nobody to sue me, which I like.
Threeoranges and Sparklebutch were extremely helpful betas and patient with my whining.

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

TITLE: A Sailor’s Suit and Cap 1/1
Author: Babydraco
Fandom: A Great and Terrible Beauty
Pairing: Felicity/Pippa
Rated: R
Summary: Written for the Porn Battle, prompts were glass, windows, lace.
Warnings: Femmslash
Disclaimer: I am not Libba Bray (if I was, the series would probably be different) and I’m not making money off this.
Note: This has not been beta read, because with the Porn Battle, there isn’t enough time really. Not at the pace I write. ETA: And apparently the prompt was "grass" not "glass". Oh well. And the title is from "Heroin" by Lou Reed/The Velvet Underground.

my porn battle fic. That's the link for the short version, although I'm not sure what the real difference is between the short and long versions- except that I had to remove every non essiential word from the short version to fit.

I was listening to This and that finally broke the writer’s block. Song has a nice rhythm to it that works too.

Title: Untitled
Author: babydraco
Fandom: Bible
Pairing: Jesus/Mary Magdalene
Rating: Mild NC17
Prompts: water, fire

Feedback: Please.

Thanks threeoranges for the beta.

Combat Fatigue 1/1

Title: Combat Fatigue
Fandom: Bible
Pairing: Jonathan/David
Rated: R
Summary: The battle's done and they kinda won. Now what?
Warnings: none. It's even almost vanilla.
Feedback: Please.

Rain poured down )


Notes: I'm quite happy with this one. It just works well, and it did so from the start, unlike some of my other D/J which I had to rewrite. It's also the one I got the most feedback for. Would a sequel ruin that? Because I feel one coming on.

Honey to the Bee 1/1

I'm demolishing my old fic journal on LJ, so I'm reposting some stuff and taking the advantage of rewriting them at the same time.

Rated: NC17
Summary: Saul tries to take everything that Jonathan loves. Prompts were honey,
vows, Philistine

Disclaimer: It’d be breathtakingly arrogant of me to claim I own these
characters.
Whoops. Forgot to thank threeoranges for helping with the beta.

King Saul was bored )


Notes: I cleaned this up a bit, changed some of the dubious word choices, etc.
