7/6/14: Yes, I am still alive. I've just become much lazier. (If that's possible) Or I could say I'm busy at work and with my new house, but the result's all the same. I still write fanfic but I just post to my fanfiction.net page. What social media I do is at tumblr now, mostly reblogging of pretty pictures from various fandoms. I will maintain this journal as an archive; $20 a year is cheap enough. My email is still the same too.
What organization I did with my stories is below the cut:
Title: The Seven Year Itch Author: bugs Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 5,000 Genre: PWP-ish Domestic Secksy Times Spoilers: post-IWTB: between the last scene and the credits roll. Summary: Home is where the heart is. A/N: Written to celebrate Dana Scully's 50th (gulp) birthday. Check out all the other great offerings at scully_fest!
Title: The First Light Author: bugs Rating: T Word Count: 1700 Genre: Drama, Angst, Romance, UST Characters: Mary, Anna Friendship; Anna/Bates; a whiff of Mary/Matthew Spoilers: Through S4.7 but not in great detail. Summary: Two friends trying to find their way free from their pain.
Author: bugs Fandom: Downton Abbey (Yes, I'm officially writing for too many fandoms that I need to start marking this on each story. And I have like 100 different things I need to be writing for, wow, let's start on some new characters!)
Rating: K+
Word Count: 2,400
Pairing: Bates/Anna
Spoilers: S1 and S3 Summary: A courtship happens at tableside over teacups, mending, and poetry. A/N: Some S1 UST and Highlands fluff to fight off any S4 blues.
Title: Smoke and Mirrors ~ Chapter One Author: bugs Rating: T for now Genre: X, A, MSR Word Count: 2,500 Summary: Dana Scully gave up her son to save the world from an alien invasion. But 2012 came and went. Now the answers are revealed. A/N: This will be a WIP and long. That's either a warning or a promise.
Title: Contrapasso Author: bugs Rating: R Word Count: 3,200 A/N:Finally! For bsg_aussiegirl's birthday.
This story will be in my Ring of Fire universe for Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal but it's not necessary to read those two stories. Chiaroscuro and Ring of Fire can be found on my fanfiction.net page.
wendelah1compiled all the entries for the xf_santa gift exchange. I've posted my contributions here, but there's a lot more amazing works to sample. If you haven't given it a look yet, do!
And just when every Phile caught their breath from that, we're onto Dana Scully's birthday celebration! She's turning... *deep breath* ...fifty years old. Where did time go for ALL of us?? Sign up to participate or just to enjoy the results at the comm:
Now onto a bit of self-pimping. It's funny how fanfic happens. I'd taken a break from writing after XF went off the air and my own life got busy. But when I saw I Want To Believe, the old impulse started right up...Only I didn't write any XF for years after all. I wrote a the first few chapters, but got caught up in Battlestar Galactica soon afterwards. I've since learned that you can finish a story started years ago, so I'm going to do just that. I'm glad that I waited, as a matter of fact. Current political events will fit perfectly into the story and I've learned so much with my years of BSG writing. I'm pretty excited to get started...As soon as I finish bsg_aussiegirl's birthday fic! (Busy, busy, busy...)
