Anybody got a few minutes?

I've got about 2500 words on a 2015 bsg_kink bingo card fill. I changed something major and need someone to read through and make sure I changed all the pronouns properly, AND let me know if anything else is confusing. Also if it's worth continuing. You know, the usual. :D

I think [livejournal.com profile] plaid_slytherin, [livejournal.com profile] singerdiva01_sk, [livejournal.com profile] fragrantwoods, and [livejournal.com profile] laura_mayfair have access to it already. It's on page eight of "KINK - current week," which is obviously a badly-named document. lol

Anybody else has time, ask me to add you.

My Fic

If you want to read my fiction, definitely check out My AO3 .  Everything I write gets posted there, including commentfic, RPF, fics involving underage characters having sex, and original fiction. Those don't get posted here for various reasons, and some of them are locked to AO3 members only.

All my fic posts here are public, so anybody can read them, whether or not you've friended my fic journal.

My fanfic in this journal is entirely Battlestar Galactica 2003 -  mostly Kara paired with somebody.  I write a lot of smut, some genfic when the prompt strikes me just right. Any fic I write for other fandoms will only be posted to AO3.

I love fic recs, especially for good Kara/Helo stuff, so please tell me about something good you've read. When I find something Kara/Helo, I add it to the Thrace_Agathon collection at AO3.

And [livejournal.com profile] newnumbertwo is my trusty beta, even when I forget to acknowledge her in the posts, which I am ashamed to say happens often. We've added [livejournal.com profile] laura_mayfair to our writing village, and she's a welcome addition. Sometimes, [livejournal.com profile] singerdiva01_sk helps, and we like having her around, too.

By no means a comprehensive list of my fics, the following is a listing of ongoing or complete series or chapterfics. Some people would call the latter WIPs, but since each chapter stands alone in the same 'verse, I don't consider these works-in-progress


SERIES )
CHAPTERFICS )

Because I've seen this happening all over fandom, I'm putting this out there for the record.

I have no intention of taking my stuff down, either here (it's part of the reason I made a separate fic journal) or on AO3. If something were to happen to me, I can't imagine my daughter or my beta village would do so, either. But...if you save something offline for your own reading use, and for some reason my stuff is no longer available, please feel free to share my works with whomever asks.

A mini-manifesto for Longmire's Vic/Walt, and some fic recs

First posted at [livejournal.com profile] het_reccers for my tenure as special reccer for November.

My view of Longmire is informed by both the series and the books. I watched the series first, then started reading the books, and each enhances my appreciation of the other. I picture the series cast when reading. I love the relationships on the show and in the book series, and am definitely rooting for the Vic/Walt romance for the long haul.

Mini-manifesto

Recs - obviously, I have a thing for first times. lol

These are five out of the mere forty fics on AO3. It's a tiny fandom yet, but I enjoy reading Vic/Walt almost as much as I enjoy a good Kara/Lee fic. Almost.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds

Always wanted to tell your own Star Trek story about Kirk, Spock, Janeway, Picard, Uhura, Sisko, Major Kira, Archer, Tom Paris, Hoshi, the Borg, U.S.S. Enterprise, etc.?

Well, your time is coming, as Simon & Schuster, as part of its celebration of Star Trek's upcoming 50th anniversary, will bring back its popular Star Trek: Strange New Worlds fan fiction writing contest. The orignal Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was a yearly collection of Trek short stories published between 1998 and 2007, with the amateur writers' works chosen via an open submissions process. The new contest for 2016 will result in ten grand prize winners who will have their stories published in both print and eBook formats as part of an all-new official anthology from Simon & Schuster.

Additionally, the two first prize winners will receive a free self-publishing package from Archway Publishing.

A deadline of January 15, 2016 has been set for submissions by U.S. residents only, and the winners will be announced on March 31, 2016, with the winning stories selected by a panel (to be named in the near future). And, to make the 2016 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds a fully fan-created package, fans will soon be asked to submit their artwork for cover consideration. Visit Star Trek Books for additional details.

Thirty Days of Fandom Writing: Day Six

When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?

I....write whoever's talking. The vast majority of the time, it's Kara, who is definitely female. In one of my original stories, I wrote from a male POV, and in another, I wrote from a gender-neutral POV.

When it's fanfic, it's usually Kara, so usually female. Original, anything goes. lol

Thirty Days of Fandom Writing: Day Five

If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?

If someone in my head wants to talk, I let them. Trying to shut them up always ends badly - like everybody shuts up badly.

I do try to ask them questions so I can figure out who they are and why they've decided now is a nifty time to bulldoze their way into a fic. The answers are usually pretty interesting. And sometimes, it turns out that character belongs in that particular universe, but in a different story, so they're just sort of poking their head in for fun, and to let me know there's more to this universe than I thought there was.

Thirty Days of Fandom Writing: Day Four

Do you have a "muse" character, one who speaks to you more than others, or who tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character become your muse?

Kara.

Kara talks louder than anyone else.

Kara talks more than anyone else.

Kara became my muse by never shutting up, for oh, the first year?

I like it when Kara talks in my head. And she does talk even when I'm not writing BSG fic. She's always got something to say.

And in a pinch, when "oh, shit" is happening, "What would Starbuck do?" makes a decent decision-making strategy.

Thirty Days of Fandom Writing: Day Three

For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?

Kara Thrace. :D

No, really. Whatever fandom I'm writing in, Kara is my girl. She was in the Firefly crossover and the two Buffy crossovers.  The three-sentence fics don't count, because...well, they just don't. Even when I'm writing original fiction, Kara's influencing it somehow.

Thirty Days of Fandom Writing: Day Two

Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.

I write BSG fic. A lot of BSG fic. I think I'm closing in on 350 entries on AO3.

I have written three-sentence fic for Dawson's Creek and Criminal Minds - one each. I'm not impressed with either of them. I've seen some fantastic three-sentence fics, and mine don't come anywhere near that.

I've written a few pieces of BSG RPF, all involving Katee, not all involving sex.

I have written crossovers for [livejournal.com profile] bsg_kink, one with Firefly and two with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I've written a few original pieces, mostly for things like [livejournal.com profile] hc_bingo and other challenge comms.

As for BSG fic, I think I'll probably still be writing BSG fic when I die. BSG, Kara in particular, speaks to my muse.

I have had a weird hankering the last day or two to write something for Longmire - the books rather than the show - but I haven't even read the thing for which I want to write, so my muse is getting ahead of herself. lol

Thirty Days of Fandom Writing: Day One

How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?

It's not much of a secret that I never wrote not-school-related fiction in my life before I watched BSG2003. Hmm. Well, that's not entirely true. Somewhere I have a story about Heather Dawn Kensington who loved horses and loved to play the piano. It's about five pages long, and I don't even have to find it to wince about it.

I don't really know what it was about BSG which pulled me in. I only know that when I finished watching it, there were moving pictures and talking characters in my head, and my life hasn't been the same since.

Fic: Some Assembly Required I: Fragore

Big Bang is LIVE!!

Here is Some Assembly Required, Part I. Read the tags, just in case, but I don't think this part has anything particularly triggering.

Topic originally posted to bsg_checkin which became I Would Like To Thank....

Many fanfic writers use the services of the same beta reader for years. I have been wondering if it would be better to switch betas more often and be exposed to a wider variety of comments.

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of switching? Of staying with the same beta always? I ask this theoretically, because this is a question about the system of long beta relations, not about individual people. If you want, you can answer from a writer´s perspective, but also from a beta-reader's perspective, or both.


I answered from a writer's perspective. And, by the way, this was a very good topic to pursue.

I'm not gonna go wild (Um, FRAK no) and say sayonara to [livejournal.com profile] newnumbertwo and [livejournal.com profile] laura_mayfair anytime soon (or like, ever), but I'm easier now with the changes happening within BSG fandom in general and within my BSG writing world in particular. If and when (please make it no time soon, pleasepleaseplease) I have to let them go, I will let them go with love.

Things change. I don't have to like it. I do have to Roll With the Changes. TM REO Speedwagon.

Fic: Lessons in Nonverbal Communication, K/L, early season two

Nongraphic references to Kara's abuse and to Zak's death.

Prompt: [livejournal.com profile] no_takebacks: Bill gets a clue and sends K/L to 'couples therapy' in S1 or S2. They are required to attend in order to remain working together as CAG/lead pilot. (I didn't quite stick exactly to the prompt.)

Not recently, but [livejournal.com profile] newnumbertwo and [livejournal.com profile] laura_mayfair had their beta eyes on it more than once. :D Thank you, ladies!

Fic: Insolence II: Defiance, Kara/Lee, R

Trigger Warnings: This fic contains references to non-consensual spanking as discipline, abuse of authority, Kara's childhood abuse, and implications of abuse in the current relationship.

If any of those things are triggers for you, please read with caution, or a friend nearby.

Sequel to Insolence.
Bill finds out about Lee's disciplinary procedures.

I started this well over two years ago, and it got bogged down in psych details. I'm not completely thrilled with it, but it works as a bridge between the beginning and the end. Constructive criticism is welcome - I have no practical experience with this particular kink or its psychological repercussions.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] newnumbertwo and [livejournal.com profile] laura_mayfair for beta and patience with my general moodiness over this piece.
