I probably should have put this in Bitchy Fic, but this is a Fic Challenge along the lines of Secret Slasha.
It's called FlashFic a thon, write a 1000 word fic for someone and someone will write one for you. You send in two pairings (or threesomes) you like, plus a sentence saying your preferences about the style of writing you like (dark,happy, torture,etc) by April 8 and the stories are due in by April 21.
Details are at marguerite26's lj Flashficathon
By the way--it's any pairing of any characters that have appeared on the show at any thime. Het or Slash.
Hey, I'm like a magpie, picking up odd bits of this and that. I try to pass on the good stuff.
Finally!
'My fandom' lj icons for M*A*S*H. I'm happy now.
Oh, those are cute!
And how silly is it that I just now realized of course Hawkeye and Trapper would be slashed to kingdom come?
LOL -- every time I think I've lost my innocence I'm proved wrong.
What Consuela said!
For its day, M*A*S*H was very ground-breaking.
Those slash-coloured glasses, eh? Man, but they're powerful. It's only recently, in happening across reruns of
Magnum P.I.
that I realise that Magnum/Higgins is practically canon. I mean, really - absofuckinglutely camp as a Judy Garland factory, with the whole TomOfFinland!Detective living with his uptight and thoroughly queenalicious mate. It's all rather touching, actually. And I nearly bit through my tongue to keep from cackling when I caught five minutes of
Home Front
last night, with Lawrence and Dairmuid (is it Dairmuid? Pretty Irish gardener chap) being irresistably slashable. I was chastising myself for commiting automatic RPS slash upon their relationship, when Lawrence turned to his companion and said "Oooh, talk Latin some more. I do
love
it when you talk Latin" in what was very clearly an intentional piece of camera-friendly (but, I presume, not real) flirtation. Conscious slash-enabling, type of thing. And actually, that does happen quite a lot. I'm not sure whether it's a Zeitgeist thing or if it's been ever thus?
(pssst, FayJay, I did read "Web". And even though I'm strictly a no-Tolkein woman, the story was gorgeous. Next up, once I can find the damned things since dymphna remains unattainable: all 27K words of Faith by Nights.)
I'm doing an incubus story for the Anthology.
If you liked
Web,
it's worth checking out Kate B's
Beauty,
which is a sort of companion-piece. Same site.
I'm doing an incubus story for the Anthology.
Oh,
excellent.
Oh, excellent.
Heh. More like, self-serving; the third book in the Ringan Laine series (of which "Weaver" is the first) is called "Matty groves" and the ghost is an incubus. This is really getting me into the headspace for writing about a supernatural sexual predator.
And the story ("Wish You Were Here", a kind of practical pun title, since one of my favourite songs last year was the song of that title by a band called, yes indeed, Incubus) is set in Paris. And setting things in Paris always makes me happy.
