Well, though I got canceled for part of my shift I've just found out I've got to drag myself in for the rest of it. I was able to get some sleep today, so that's a plus.

And now I am going to get ready for work and pack my lunch up. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...

PS: Anyone want to write me Kirk/McCoy comment fic/comment porn to cheer me up when I get home in the morning?

Have you ever been just going along, happily typing away with good momentum and a seemingly clear idea of where you want to go with a story, and then just... hit a wall? Like, out of nowhere, smack into it? Repeatedly and painfully?

Argh!

Argh! Why won't they stop talking? I want to wrap this sucker up but Bones will just not shut up!

I need to be barred from the kink meme. For serious.

...and it is driving me insane.

Today was a day where I specifically planned nothing so that I could perhaps get some writing done.

And I... haven't. Each time I open a WiP I read it over, stare at the screen for a while, sigh, and close the file again. I even started trolling for prompts over at the kink meme to try and came up empty - is it just me or are they getting kinkier? The three "long" stories I've written have been inspired by the meme, as are most of the WiPs, so it isn't as though I haven't found anything before, but I struck out today. *sigh*

On a positive note I did read several fic on my "to read" catch up list, take a nap, do 2 loads of laundry, and make chocolate cookies, hummus, and peppers & mushrooms in balsamic vinagrette today. So at least I haven't been entirely unproductive.

So... not saying that anything would ever get written, but if you wanted to read a ficlet in the Star Trek reboot universe, what would you like to see?

It is currently 2am and I am still awake. I have to be out and about to take my car to the mechanic in under 6 hours. I am not happy about this. Since I'm not yet sleepy, however, I am writing this and eating leftover acorn squash and chocolate cheesecake. My weird cravings, let me show you them.

So I participated in fandom_stocking for the first time this year. I had fun, but didn't produce nearly as many fills as I had hoped I would, sadly. My stocking's contents can be found here. Go and admire :) There is an especially adorable Zoe/Wash backstory drabble by isellersfic that I love as well as a sweet and wonderful Teyla/Ronon/Rodney Vegas!verse fic by purple_cube. You will also find icons by vandonovan and yhlee that are excellent and definitely added to my collection. To round it out, you will find a link to a Doctor Who Ten/Reinette, Ten/Rose fanvid (Woo! Fanvid!) and holiday wishes.

My fills are reposted below:

Posted for celli's stocking at fandom_stocking here. Her special request was to include mentions of accounting or taxes. So here we have: Accountant AU. I think this might be my first AU...

( Star Trek, 'Tis the Season, Kirk/McCoy, PG-13, AU )

I have had a rather crappy day at work, which caps off a rather crappy few days in general.

Anyone got any cheer-up links, fics, vids, jokes, etc to share? I would really appreciate them.

I answered four prompts for last Sunday's B2S drabblefest. I was definitely heavy on the Kirk/McCoy pairing which I adore so very much.

I am really enjoying reading and writing in this community. Even when I can't get a word down on screen for any of my WiPs I have still managed to have a blast with the drabbles. Less stress, perhaps? Two of WiPs have the potential to be monsters, so maybe I'm just overwhelmed?

Note: All drabbles/ficlets are left (pretty much) as is. So far I've resisted messing with them after posting them to bridge2sickbay so that I don't make myself insane. Aka, unbetaed and rough(ish).

Hmmm, first time I've ever written McCoy/Uhura. I find I rather like them. At the very least Uhura fit best for the idea I had, it just felt right somehow.

Still, can't beat Kirk/McCoy for top place in my heart and affections.

My very first post using my shiny new laptop. So wonderful. It actually works, and tends to actually do what I tell it to, a novel concept, I assure you. What is not so wonderful is the process of transferring everything from my old laptop to this new one. Oy, headache.

In honor of my birthday, and to christen the new computer, I had wanted to write a new fic, however the muse has not been kind to me of late. I can do the next best thing, however, now that the reveal for remus_reads has occurred :)

First, however, I would like to pimp out the fic that I received in the exchange: Raindrops on Noses by nohwrah. I've linked you to the posting at her journal, rather than the community's journal so that should you want to comment on it, she will receive it more easily. This story is a lovely fic written from my prompts of: teasing conversations and hopeful endings. It is Remus/Sirius, G, MWPP-era, and quite enjoyable.


My contribution to the exchange is below, but before I get to that, a bit of background... It was written for nohwrah (Funny how that turned out :) ), with the prompts: smoking!sirius and unrequited love being requited. The minimum word count for this exchange was 200 words, however once I got started I couldn't stop. It just got completely out of hand :-D I think the prompts given were perfect - enough to give me a starting point without being restrictive of my imagination. I'm sure there are still rough spots in there, so feel free to point out any errors, or question anything you'd like - I love constructive criticism. I also had a second beta, rissabby, in addition to the always-wonderful amor_remanet, whose comments and suggestions were added to the version of the fic I'm posting now, so... thanks to wonderful, lovely, understanding, and patient betas!

Title: Sheer Madness of the Marauder Sort
Rating: PG
Pairing(s): Remus/Sirius
Warning(s): Hmmm, heights and smoking?
A/N: This fic was written for nohwrah for the remus_reads fic exchange to celebrate Remus Lupin's birthday. It was-betaed by the ever-talented amor_remanet and rissabby, whose help and humor are invaluable.

( It was the smoke that gave Sirius away... )
