mini nanowrimo, word count 284, look avengers RPS. idek. [16 Nov 2012|08:26pm]

I wanted to write Chris Evans not being an actor or being a failed actor and then starting his own bakery. Dog bakery. IDK EITHER. I'm sorry. In my head, eventually Chris and Jeremy end up together. They get a house to flip in the Valley [that didn't used to be in porn, but maybe it did. there's a weird stain on the wall, okay?] and fall in love and East farts a lot. Chris makes good food and feeds Jeremy.

I like cooking stories.

Did I say I'm sorry yet?

( It all started when East gave him that Look.Collapse )

mini nanowrimo, word count 478, progression toward a final draft [15 Nov 2012|08:28pm]

so, this is the beginning to my Steve Rogers/Darcy Lewis/Bruce Banner side fic from The Huntress series. It's basically Darcy's story to start with but I have already kind of outlined each of the other two as side along pieces... because I'm a masochist.

( On May 12, 2011, Darcy Anne Lewis was granted a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science from Culver University. The sun was bright and the air held the faintest hint of salt and sea water.Collapse )

mini nanowrimo, word count 277, office drone fic! hah [12 Nov 2012|09:52pm]

more from the lamentable life of Agent Stephen Rodgers. uh. i have no excuses. what it says on the can.

( The real trouble working for SHIELD wasn't the villainous organizations bent on world domination or the evil geniuses making human killing robots. No, it was that no one knew how to use the Oxford comma properly and people insisted on mangling his last name.Collapse )

mini nanowrimo, word count 411, Dead Men's Tales [11 Nov 2012|06:16pm]

So, this is actually the second thing I started writing in "avengers" fandom. Basically I thought about, "So, Coulson's "dead" and so is Sherlock. They have to be kept somewhere... wonder if Mycroft and SHIELD ever did any joint ops." And yes. This. This is the first time I've touched this in a while. Rough and slap dash and verb tense issues and. Yes.

( This is how it happens: He wakes up with a godawful tinny sound grating his ears and an incessant throbbing pain reverberating in his chest. The pain is familiar, grounding even, but the noise is new. He expects to find Clint sitting on the edge of his bed smirking at him and demanding he get up so they can get disgusting deep fried tacos from the place on the corner. Collapse )

mini nanowrimo, word count 1075, gimme a deadeye and burn the british [10 Nov 2012|07:55pm]

here's something new you might not know about me. i love diners. i love diner food. i love checkerboard floor tiles and chrome fixtures. i love juke boxes and milkshakes. i love diner sitcoms. i was a nut of a kid that loved Alice. i love diner slang. that being said. i also love the character of darcy lewis. this is not an au. darcy lewis is the only one, sadly, in food service. though if you want you can totally imagine nick fury as the sassy short order cook. i won't look.

so i made mutant baby of a fic where darcy the grad student post-Thor living in nyc works in a diner to make ends meet. a theme diner. i know, i hate me too. not as much as darcy though.

i've been working on this fic here and there. the last scene is what i came up with today for mini nano. :)

( This was not how post-graduate life was supposed to be, then again Darcy Lewis had come to accept the surreal and mundane as part and parcel of her awesomely weird life.Collapse )

mini nanowrimo, word count 319, the bare bones of - Past is Just a Goodbye [09 Nov 2012|08:23pm]

I keep writing origin stories. This one is for Phil. If Phil Coulson ended up being the baby brother to Joyce Summers. You know, Joyce Summers who was Buffy Summers' mother. Yeah. Phil Coulson uncle to the slayer. This was supposed to be this kind of light hearted campy piece. Uh, but apparently I can't do anything lately but write tragic back stories. One day I'll write something where people have awesome parents and stuff. Today is not that day. Joyce is awesome though. Buffy was lucky to have her.

( Phil's mama tried to leave his daddy several times in Phil's life. She left the first time with Phil and Joyce in the old beat up Datsun that was always coughing up black smoke. Daddy always found them in the end.Collapse )

mini nanowrimo, word count 1585, sequel to of stars and skies [08 Nov 2012|10:02pm]

So, I asked schuyler what I should write for mini nano tonight and she said, "something happy!" and lo my WsIPs have no happy things at the moment. So, I said "eff it! alien babies make everything better!" and it is ridiculous, but here you go. Clint and Coulson have adopted an alien baby. And some other things that happen.

( Clark Clinton Coulson-Barton was a strangely precocious baby...Collapse )

mini nanowrimo, word count 866, a scene from (I) Hear the Voice of Rage and Ruin [07 Nov 2012|08:11pm]

So, when I started back writing fic and started writing in Avengers movie 'verse. I kind of fell in love with Clint. I know, everyone is surprised. But I have always loved werewolf fic. Like shifters/changers or whatever you want to call it... before Teen Wolf, before Twilight, hell even before I started reading Anita Blake and that whole thing. I'm not a horror movie person, but I was really damn into werewolf lore and such.

At any rate, I wanted to write a Clint is a werewolf fic. And... it's turned into this entire EPIC of a tale. i would post what I have so far but it's... over 43 pages long with actual raw fic written and about 10 pages of outline and an actual mythology/lore handbook that i've written along with a hellacious timeline that is now spanning about three different fandoms. my crossover love let me show it to you.

so have a scene. of a young clint who meets remy aka gambit.

( tell me i'm a bad man Collapse )

so, i have surpassed my entire month's goal in a week. whoops. maybe i should try doing 4 times what my monthly goal was and have that be my new one?

mini nanowrimo, word count 595, redheads, everclear, and social engagements [06 Nov 2012|06:02pm]

so, a little bit of time ago i proposed the idea of the utter ridiculousness of having all these awesome shows/movies that centered on the east coast and nyc in particular. the potential for crossovers is amazeballs. i mean - suits! white collar! criminal minds! avengers! SO MANY THINGS that touch [and touch each other. haha. ahem.]

so, i uh started just scribbling things down. notes really. well, here's the first sort of put together snippet of the Government Inter and Intra-Agency Mixers Are Hell on Personal Lives series.

( The woman gestured to the empty seat next to Pepper and Pepper waved her phone at it. “Which one of the suits is yours?” “Ah, I'd really rather not claim any of them,” Pepper said with a faint smile.Collapse )

Author's note: GIVE ME ALL THE REDHEADS. FOR I WILL LAY TRIBUTE AT THEIR FEET. ahem. their lives are hard what with the ~~gay~~ best friend wrangling or wrangling or ~~gay best friend's boytoys~~ other dudes

mini nanowrimo, word count 171/150, first bit of this fic-They Wanna Crack Your Crossword Smile [05 Nov 2012|05:16pm]

So, when I was first getting back into writing and into Avengers movie fandom, I thought, "hey wouldn't it be awesome if a grown up Warren Peace from Sky High ended up in the Avengers 'verse?" Annnnnnd, yeah. So, I started writing it. A fic about Warren post-Sky High and how he ends up (or will eventually?) getting mixed up in the lives of one Clint Barton. And the rest of that guy's team. I have no idea if this will end up Warren/Steve Rogers or Warren/Darcy or Warren/no one on the team. IDEK. I'm sorry.

except I'm not, because there is no Sky High fic out there anywhere. I'm just trying to help, people.

pre-emptive warnings/apologies - unbeta'd, raw rawest of the raw edits.

( The kid was beat. Beat down, beat up, beat every which way but loose. Clint would have respected the guys beating the kid down more if they'd left him as soon as the kid went down, but bullies had no real sense of courtesy. Leastways, that had been Clint's experience.Collapse )

mini nanowrimo, word count 891, first bit of this fic-The Life You Save [05 Nov 2012|05:24am]

moar works in progress. just using mini nanowrimo to work through and plod along with stuff.

this one, is a different take on an "origins" story. idek what it is other than, "i wanted clint as a nurse who meets up with coulson and eventually ends up at SHIELD" fic. not necessarily a "paramedic au" except it is. except it's not?

eta- now with actual content. unbeta'd obvs. clunky and chunky in places [just like me!]. rawest of raw things. apologies abound.

( Clint supposed in another life he would have been better at killing.Collapse )

in other breaking news, ~~it's best to use cardboard for power moves~~ i'm off for two days! sleeeeeeping in! watching mooooovies on my telly. staying in my pjs all day! or do general upkeep things. like laundry. or buy more socks instead of washing them. that seems financially unsound.

mini nanowrimo, word count 451, excerpt from a longer fic [03 Nov 2012|07:32pm]

excerpt from a fic i'm calling Sending Postcards from a Plane Crash, Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, sort of a fix-it fic? Phil is dead. Clint is losing memories and everything seems to be unraveling one moment at a time.

( Clint found the body on a Wednesday.Collapse )

yo, yo, yooooo. writerly things. [01 Nov 2012|07:15pm]

hi.

i write things on occasion, and i did something that will quite possibly end me. i decided to join mini_wrimo. now the ending part is totally on me. i accept full responsibility. i have chosen to write at least 150 words a day. i have done this in the hopes that it will get me to finish the epic stories/series/THINGS OKAY that i have started/are languishing feebly and forlornly in my WsIP folder.

here's the sitch - there are times when i will be stuck. there are times when i will gnash my writerly teeth and sneer at my screen and go, "SELF WHY ARE YOU WRITING THIS DRIVEL?!" and this is where i need your help, fellow internetians. (internetonians? interfolk?)

we'll call this a fic request/prompt drive by post. you leave something "inspirational" for me to write about or on and i'll try to fill it. i have no expiration on this post and i also do not promise it will be filled in a timely fashion (think of it like getting presents in the middle of july - you know if your birthday is not in july then this makes more sense) but i will promise to fill them eventually! even if november is over! i commit to you in this post!

[the following i have stolen from lakeeffectgirl]Is there something you wish existed in any fandom you know I've dabbled in? Or a fandom where you at least know I've watched the show/watched the movie/read the book? Leave your prompt here and I'll give it a shot!

for a more comprehensive list of things i have written [please excuse my cringing] visit my ao3 or my old now defunct writing lj.

feel free to submit a fandom and something inspirational - a picture, a song, or quotes or even just a "i want to see person x do this with person y and then do this" or "hey, writerly girl - write me person x in a coffee shop au"

have at it!

also, thanks for the help! ;)

thelionforreal and i spent a wonderful day (well, painful too) getting ink done. after a rather circuitous taxi ride, we arrived at the studio (Mojuju Tatu) literally minutes before our artist, Daryle, parked right in front. there were long moments of sitting, knitting, chatting, and looking things up on imdb. suffice to say, the pictures speak for themselves.

uhm. what can i say about the show? it was amazing. waited in line. mad dash into the venue. people fell. it was not on san jose event center. not on.

cabal was there. part of team nyc was there. i saw some of the texas folks and my lex-zee. there were good fangirl funtimes. that other people have said more at length about and in better detail. but hey. have some pictures. i feel like this is the one way i'm contributing to fandom at the moment.

make love, not wank. srsly. [07 Sep 2007|10:06pm]

[ mood | accomplished ]

i don't do meta, except when it gets me pretty. and i don't wank unless... uh. well i get a happy ending. =) that being said, please if you feel like we don’t have anything in common with me or don’t want me on your friends’ list anymore… defriend. it’s really okay. it might take me a few days [or months] to check that maranel thing, but eventually i’ll return the favor. every day is defriending amnesty day.

bandom wank, et al. i don't feel like linking. if you're aware, you know what's going on. if not, then count yourself lucky. this post is not for that. have your opinions, feel free. that's what they are there for. i may not agree, but that's, hey, my opinion too.

i am, if you are not familiar with this lj, not in most of these bands' target demographic. i was born at the tail end of the 70s and am a good deal older than a lot of the fans that go to these shows. is that embarrassing sometimes? yes. is it awkward that i’m older than some/most of the members of certain bands? hell yes. does this make me better or more knowledgeable than the younger fans? sometimes more knowledgeable, but not better. does it detract from my enjoyment of the bands? hell the fuck no.

i like my fandom. i don’t feel like we’re the oppressed masses. but, again, you are entitled to your opinions. i’m proud of the bandslashers’/bandom’s responses. they’ve been intelligent and well thought off. if you think the “stage gay” is offensive then that is your prerogative to think so. that’s not what this space is about. this post is not about being one of the persecuted masses, but from a fan who loves the bands she follows. just take it as that. i’m not going to start mess with anyone. i don’t want that. it’s not why i’m in fandom. i fully understand why people are upset over the recent events, but fandom is a safe place for me to enjoy the things i love.

i spent a good amount of years getting my degrees on such cases. i work every day with children that face issues of race, sex, gender, socioeconomic disadvantages. i talk with and work with most of these bands’ target demographic. they love the music first and foremost. just like i do.

enough time's been spent wanking, let's get to the love. so, in no short order and in direct inspiration from lovelypoet's post, i bring you the things i love from my bands. so, the “stage gay” not withstanding these the things i love about my bands. [also, if anyone has a link to iphignia939’s post o’ love, i’d love to link to that too. if it isn’t locked and such.] eta- here it is!

( no order, because i’m anything but orderly Collapse )

so, yes. i got a tad wordy. ;)

MAKE LOVE, NOT WANK.

tell me what you love. leave it here. any flames or such? hey, it's my lj, i'll go ahead and delete 'em. it gets really crazy? i'll just lock it up.

all typos, misspellings, run on sentences and fragments are mine & no one else’s. just as this above is my opinion.

[ mood | working ]

as most of you know, i'm back in school. my next big paper is on fatherhood.

so... i need your help. i'm supposed to interview/survey two first time expectant fathers and two fathers with children under the age of two. i know many of you have brothers, cousins, et cetera that are married [i am not that fortunate] and/or are expecting kids.

if you could cut and paste the appropriate section for either the expectant or already are fathers... and then have them email it back to me at

jfcderivera at yahoo dot com

i would be greatly appreciative. there aren't many questions (about five) and they can be as detailed as they wish. it can be anonymous if they wish and not leave me their real name.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you!
