I offered on one. I'm peering at the others and deleting anything that would require research or make me go "ugh" when I think about actually writing them. I'm down to 8.
Mal: Does.. um.. does this seem kind of tight? Kaylee: Shows off your backside.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was going to offer on a third, but I checked the source material, and realized the requester was requesting a book, but requesting details that are only in the movie version. And they're different enough (and specific enough) that the actual source was not going to be source-y enough for me to consult!

Debating on whether to offer for another while waiting. With my luck, I'd get assigned both, so. Hmm.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
My original false Yuletide assignment is now available as a pinch hit. I already have a pinch hit, so I'm not offering. But maybe I will do a stocking stuffer. Just 'cause.

Ahahahahah OH GOD, okay, I have a pinch hit. What was I thinking?
No, no, okay, I can totally do this. I already have the story planned out. I just have to sit down start typing as soon as I get home, that's all.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I have two possible stocking stuffers earmarked. Just in case I feel like torturing myself some more.
Right now, I'm just trying to decide if the two dropped words are worth an email with "should be Blah blah AND blah" in it.

The good news is that my would-have-been beta readers gave me a sanity check read after posting (which is how the dropped words got noticed) and they all liked it and thought it worked.
It's... not my usual style at all. At all at all.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I managed to completely forget about writing my yuletide story, and wrote it the day of, eleven hours before it was due, in an hour, and subsequently posted it.
I do not recommend such methods to others. Seriously, brain = explody.

It's probably not worth contacting the Yuletide mods for a comma, huh. Oh, well. Yuletide pinch hit uploaded.
I need to be dead now.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Yeah, okay. Thanks for that.
Aaaand suddenly I find myself feeling a surge of antipathy towards the WGA. Which is most unreasonable.
