So, one of my rules for fic was "No RPS". My only other ones are "No mpreg" and "No watersports".

Somehow, I've broken the RPS rule like it was not even there. At first, it was only Bradley/Colin in Merlin. I hardly ever read any J2 stuff, but mostly because I'm a Jensen girl. (Jared is fine and everything, but I fell in love with Dean first and I play favorites. So when Castiel came around I was so happy. Before is was just Dean/OMC and crossovers. Castiel was a godsend. Literally.) But, I've seem to have fallen in love with Pinto. Which is Chris Pine/Zach Quinto, for those not in the know (mean, probably no one on my flist).

I can't even feel guilty for this. All the kink memes have ruined me.

I mean, I was reading Pinto fics on break at work. Hell, I've been using my mom's netbook while my laptop is out. The only reason is to keep up with the fics.

Now I have to go read more fic.

Maybe I can get someone else to.

I fail at the "anon" bit of "anon kink meme" but mostly because I want to see this soo much. I mean- Merlin/Reboot? Hell yes.


Seriously, if I was not working on millions of other things I would try this. Except I don't feel like I could write any Star Trek, as I only know the canon of Reboot and what fic has taught me. I somehow never watched any Star Trek as a child. Which is probably like a miracle, as I remember skipping by it many times. My childhood was mostly cartoons. Older ones, too. I've seen most of Tex Avery and all those guys. And every Tom and Jerry and Scobby Doo, ever. Then there was my game show phase and my love affair with Jerry Springer. I have never said no to a documentary.

But the first scifi show I watched was probably SG1 and that was by accident. I read scifi books a bit, but it has only been in the past handful years that I remembered "Oh, hey- they have tv shows with pew pew lasers and aliens and really cool ships." I hardly ever complain about the noise in space battles, either.

I'm just really intimidated my the Trek fandom. I mean, it is huge and old and vast. There are many series and movies and... I don't have the time. I'm still working on my comic canon. I've gone two nights without sleep because of fic for ST XI and I saw the movie three days ago.

But then I remember that I've gone through other fandoms pretty fast recently- due South, Merlin, SGA, Supernatural, Torchwood, and a few smaller ones here and there. And for most of those I've had to watch the episodes twice because I was forcing friends to watch (three times for whole seasons of SPN). And that's not to add the times I rewatched just because I wanted to. And for all of those I was failing in class. So, maybe I'll give it a try. I really do need a better classic scifi education.

Edit: OKAY. When I said I wan't writing it? I lied. Just a bit! I might have... drabbled. I couldn't help it.

So, I'm now working on another TW crossover. This one is TW/HP. I've even got a title, but no fanmix, yet. "Veiling the Rift". You can guess from the title what it is about.

And if you can't- Sirius appears in Cardiff after he falls through the Veil. The fun bit is that Sirius is still a dangerous criminal in the Muggle world. So Torchwood will have fun when they find out who he is. Mind probing! Learning about wizards! Learning about aliens! Learning the fate of the wizarding world! Reunions!

I'm planning on writing more before posting anything, although I do have the first little bit done.

I've also been working on the TW/Brainship story. I love the Ianto/Lisa back story and the Doctor is adorable as a Brainship.

( Brainshp snippet )

( Veil snippet )

Soooo I've got a little plot bunny. A Torchwood/Brainship fusion. With Ianto as a Brainship and Jack as his Brawn. Tosh is another Brainship. Her new Brawn is Gwen. Susie was her old one, but she died. Owen in a CenCom worker that Tosh has a crush on.

I'm not quite clear who Lisa is yet, except that she did something bad to Ianto.

I also kinda started working on the fanmix for this.

You know, a while ago I was explaining something from a show to a friend.

Then, I had to stop and think. I could not remember if that was from the show, or if it was from a fic.

My friend commented that I was getting fanfic confused with reality and I responded that canon could not be considered reality- it was still TV.

And then I remembered a fic where the character got distracted by a porn reality. And that just made a daisy chain of meta fic connections that I had to stop.

So, I never thought this would happen. I mean, I kinda always thought it was a bit iffy, and something I would never do.

But, it did.

Merlin has made me read RPS. I didn't want to. I avoided it with Supernatural, mostly because I am purely a Jensen girl (I mean, Jared is fine and all, but I think of him like my lab- cute, but sorta gangly and awkward and not someone I'd allow to be left alone with something breakable). I mean, Castiel was a (literal) godsend to me. Now I can read fic without feeling dirty! Hurrah!

But, Merlin. And Colin and Bradley. I tried to avoid it. Then, the pictures and the video diaries and the interviews and then a few fanvids and now I'm reading fic. In the back of my head I'm screaming "these people are real, they have feelings, and they might have nightmares if they read this" but the rest of me is just squeeing in glee.

I mean, dolphin noises. All the way.

Now, I'm going to find more fic and fall into that "in Lucifer's mouth" level of hell. But I'm sure there will be plenty of lovely people there with me.

I'M OPEN TO FIC RECS.

GOD. Now I've read a J2-Colin/Bradley crossover. See, Merlin? This is what you turn me into. I sorta hate myself now.

I'M GOING TO GO WORK ON MY FIC UNTIL I HAVE A NEW CHAPTER OF SOMETHING TO POST. I DON'T CARE WHAT, I JUST NEED TO GET SOMETHING DONE.

I don't know which to work on, though. I have my SGA/Numb3rs fic, my Merlin/Marvel crossover, and my Merlin coloringbook!crack.

And I have been having unhealthy urges to write other crossovers. I should not be allowed to think of crossovers. I mean, I've had a SGA/Eureka crossover dancing around my hard drive for a while. I mean, there are only so many ways you can start to write Nathan Stark and Rodney McKay fighting before it all spirals into random insults and yelling. I have three drabbles that is them just doing that. And they get mean.

( Time for random fic idea explaination )


And now I have to write one of these. I'm on Spring Break, so I have time to do them. I just don't know which to work on first. So, maybe a poll.

Poll #1365052 WIP writing poll
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Which story should I start on/continue first?

If "other crossover", what should it be?

Title: What Am I?
Artist:  thisfishflies
Synopsis: This Mystery Activity book sets a strange task for Merlin. A mysterious stranger has taken Arthur prisoner and Merlin has to find him and set him free. Join Merlin on a dangerous journey to save Arthur. Work through the puzzles, play the games and answer the riddles to help Merlin save his  friend, the future king of Camelot.
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes: Based on the book/idea here.  First installment of the "Merlin Mystery Activity Book" 'verse. Well, second if you count this comment!fic. And, this took me way to long to make. It would have been better if I had something beyond MS paint, but you have to play the cards you're dealt. It also killed me to slowly trace everything, then going back and erasing the best lines.

( Merlin looked down at the parchment and sighed. Really, they had no imagination. )

More to come, when I am not so tired.

SOOO, I'm writing a bit of Merlin/Iron Man. It's for the Kink Meme, but I'll probably fail at that. I mean, I'll try. I really want to have Tony/Merlin and then Tony/Arthur. Tony would be all disbelieving until Merlin did some magic and then he would want a drink. He would end up sleeping with Merlin because, well, it's Tony. He is an amazing slut. And Merlin is just too adorable for him to pass up.

He and Merlin would bond over the fact that they both kept something from their leader- Merlin's magic, Tony's being Iron Man. Tony would see that Merlin is totally in love with Arthur and try to get them together. Instead, he somehow ends up sleeping with Arthur. This leads to Tony/Merlin/Arthur. And then Merlin/Arthur.

There would be jousting and Iron Man being thought to be some magical knight (Uther sends Arthur to slay him?). Merlin and Tony would kill some magical thing, come back all sweaty and mussed (this is before the threesome bit, Arthur is jealous like a mofo).

Merlin send's Tony back with his magic and Tony's iPhone. Arthur still doesn't know about the magic in the end. Poor boy.


Utter, utter crack. It is MA:A meets Merlin. It is making me giggle
And I am writing it as I am supposed to be learning about Paleozoic Invertebrate Marine Life.

Want to know how Tony get's to Camelot? He was fixing Doctor Strange's new Mac. I'm not sure why everything is Apple, as I'm a PC girl, but Macs seem to interface with magic in my mind.

I promise promise to get back to SGA/#s as soon as I get this out of my head. I can't work with all the crack cluttering it all up.

So, a fun thing I've just found- a slash penpal comm. I've tried the penpal thing before, but  it fell apart after a few months. I jsut did not have enough in common with the other person, I think.

Fandom could solve that. Who does not like to talk fandom? Who also does not like to receive letters? Add that together and you have something awesome.

Right now the
snailslash  comm is small, but it just started. It just needs so pimpage to get it going. So, this is me trying.

It would be awesome to see more people in other fandoms join, and then spread the word. I mean, more fandoms can only be more good. Or whatever.

It would also be awesome to have a penpal of my own. To read my post, just look here to the introduction of awesome.

All day I've been dithering. I can't decide to watch Torchwood or not. I mean, I  know it is wonderful and everything, but I feel a bit guilty. I haven't seen any Doctor Who and it feels like I should, before.

But, I felt a similar feeling about Stargate Atlantis. The only thing that made that better was that I had watched many episodes of SG1 over the years. Sure, it's been haphazard and almost accidental, but I knew the back-story and could follow the plot easily. I knew the characters and don't get too confused when reading fics with crossovers (I still am a bit iffy on Mitchell. I've only seen one episode with him.) Plus, I'm making up for that now, slowly working my way through all of SG1.

I feel worse about the Doctor Who/Torchwood thing. I don't particularly want to watch Doctor Who. I know, it is also supposed to be wonderful and shiny and everything that is good. I just. I have some strange compulsion to not watch it. I've had similar feelings for other things, and I can't do anything to overcome it. I refused to watch Firefly for years.I held out on Supernatural until just a few weeks ago. I'm slowly working up to The Sentinel, too.

Only, I've finally gotten around to watching Merlin. Something about watching it made me want to watch Torchwood. I've been watching the first episode in bits and pieces until I fall back to Merlin. It is a strange form of ADD, I supose.

If I don't get through the first season of Torchwood soon I might do something drastic like watch Life On Mars, yet another thing I should have seen already. I mean, I've downloaded it on two seperate computers. You think it'd be watched by now.

Damn my strange form of tv series comitment-phobia. There really is something wrong with my brain.

Title: Gravity, Lift, and Air Resistance
Fandom: SGA/Numb3rs
Pairing: pre-John/Rodney
Rating: G
Spoilers: None
Word count: ~500
Note: Third in the "Dots & Lines" 'verse. Because you know John was a troublemaker as a child. And I wanted to write something short and fluffy. Some of this is based on fact. I might have done what John did on his bike. The outcome was the same. I've messed around with the ages a bit. Just go with it.
Summary: Johnny and Donny play. Charlie tries to teach them a lesson, but it backfires.



Past Installments of Connecting Dots & Straight Lines.


I just want to hug little Johnny and Donny. I mean, John all covered with bandages, Don's face all scrunched up and worried. The only thing that would make it more d'aww would be to imagine that Charlie wearing knee socks and short, and with jam all over his face. He'd be all "Let me explain the mysteries of the world" while his mom just grabs his head and says "first let's clean your face." Sure he's a super!genius, but he is still six.

Yes, when I was young I thought it would be possible to ride without hands or feet. I mean, I could do each independently, so why not together? I learned some physics that day. And that people will stop their car if you wipeout hard enough.

Title: Reunions, Introductions, and Discussions of Security Clearance
Fandom: SGA/Numb3rs
Pairing: pre-John/Rodney
Rating: G
Spoilers: All seasons of SGA, small ones for Numb3rs
Word count: ~2000
Note: Second in my SGA/Numb3rs crossover 'verse I am calling "Connecting Dots & Straight Lines". A sequel to "Ancestry". This one is more from the Numb3rs viewpoint, but goes more into the Eppes/Sheppard relationship. It will get to the slash. You know, after the crime fighting.
Summary: John visits his cousins. They aren't expecting him and no one is prepared for Rodney.

( “Yes, yes. Reunions and familial love and all that fun stuff. Can we now talk about something important?” Rodney whined. )

 

So, there's the next bit. Hope people like it. The next installment might take a bit longer but it will probably be from the SGA POV again. I need to re-watch some Numb3rs to get the voices right. I also need a SGA/Numb3rs icon. Feedback is welcome. I have no beta, so there are probably way too many mistakes to think of.

Title: Ancestry, or How Colonel Sheppard's Hair Defied Genetics, Too
Fandom: SGA/Surprise crossover
Pairing: John/Rodney-ish
Rating: G
Spoilers: Small ones for the whole series
Word count: ~1000
Note: This started out as a short, funny drabble. Now it somehow has angst peppered in. I don't know how it happened. This whole story was just supposed to be dialogue, but I sorta fail at that. But I had to get this out anyway, or else the idea would bounce around my head forever. And this crossover makes me happy.
Summary: Rodney learns that some of his jokes about Sheppard's hair have been right.

( His hair seems to match his mood, droopy and hanging in a way that shows it does follow the laws of physics. Sometimes. )

( The Hair, short. )


I want to write a sequel or something. Really, really badly. I mean, Atlantis practically ends up on the Numb3rs doorstep. And John's mother could be related to the Eppes brothers' mom. They could all fight crime and Wraith with math, physics, & hair. With slouching appearing once or twice. It would have double!Team. Colby and Ronon bond over weapons. Megan and Teyla would totally hit it off. Charlie and Rodney would be having geek!gasms in the garage ("Chalkboards? Real live chalkboards? Get your minions to get us some coffee, we have chalk to destroy!" "They are not minions, they are FBI agents. We have to solve the case, not make them our gofers." "FBI, Marines, whatever. They have small brains and hands. Let them do something useful.") John and Don are totally related. I know this in my bones.

So, I might do this.

Title: To No Earthly King
Creator: thisfishflies
Warnings: Angst, Civil War, bad drabbles
Disclaimer: Nothing is mine.
Notes: So, I've been sitting on this for a while. I love making fanmixes and do it all the time, without even trying. This has been my favorite playlist on my iPod and I only just got around to gathering them all up and uploading.
Heck, I went straight to making a C&DP when I finished this one (it's all crack).
The drabbles are pretty blah. I only added them to give an idea of the plot I had in my mind. I hope it worked.

The title of this came from a quote about the American flag. It was either that or a line from the flag code, and this one looks better.
There is a typo on the tracklist. Just ignore it.

( This flag dips for no earthly king. )
