Hi world!

I've been active in fandom since 2001(ish), but I took an extended (decadeish long) break and am now trying to find the fun again! Please feel free to friend me and say hi!

My fics are here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/bewize

I am slowly moving old fics to AO3, but it's very slow.

The fandom of my heart is X-Men, but I am also a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I dabble in lots of others.

Other things you should know - I don't post often, but I'm trying. I f-lock posts about my family and/or job. I basically just want to live my best life without extra drama, but I do have a tendency to process trauma through dark humor. You've been warned. ;)

Friends, 

I am making my way back into fannish-ness and I miss the connections of old.

But, I'm doing it at Dreamwidth mostly.

If you're there, please friend me!

It has gotten difficult to format posts here on LJ.  XD

Here are links to AO3 for my new drabbles.  It's only been *mumble* years.  

So, here are the chapter links for the new drabbles.

Challenge #2

In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Fannish Goals

Keep writing. Finish my Small Fandom Big Bang.

Keep writing stuff that is me having fun. No stress writing.

Other Goals

Finish C25K. Keep running. Maybe try and run a 10K. Or more? Don't get ahead of yourself.

Keep working on the Flylady system and keep working on getting my house in order.

Take two vacations with family and maybe a girl's weekend/solo trip? Something.

Someone tell me where the good slash is. Please let it exist.

And the OT3 fic?

I'm very excited about this exchange! It looks so much fun. Please do not stress over writing for me. I'm going to be excited by anything you are excited about!

Generally, I like most types of fics - character studies, missing scenes, behind the scenes, what really happened, what happened before, what happened after, AUs, crossovers. I'm easy. :D



My general DNWs: Damsels in Distress (Dudes in Distress), Gore, Gratuitous violence (violence for plot is totally ok), rape (but dub con is ok, as long as there is some evidence of consent), torture.


Specific Requests:

1. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949): Brom Bones, Headless Horseman, Ichabod Crane, Katrina van Tassel - I am open to nearly anything here. This would be super fun as an AU, but I would love to see just *more* of what happened. My one request is please don't make Katrina simpering and daft. Case fic would also be awesome. What happened to Ichabod? What happened to Brom? What happened to Katerina? Just who *was* the Headless Horseman and how did it come to be?

2. Luca (2021): Alberto Scorfano, Massimo Marcovaldo - I am *dying* to see their relationship develop here. Please don't give them a sexual relationship at all. But, I would love to see a father and son dynamic really open up here. It was so broadly hinted at in the movie and poor Alberto has so much damage from his own father. I'd be open to hearing backstory for both characters, too. All other characters are also welcome, too, but I'm curious what happens after Luca and Guilia go to school. What's life like when it's just Massimo and Alberto? (Also, protective Massimo was amazing and Alberto really needs some of that in his life.)

3. Sleeping Beauty (1959) - Fauna, Flora, Merryweather, Maleficent - Maleficent scared me to death as a child and she remains my favorite Disney villain. I would *love* to see world building around the fairies and their backstory. I'd love to see history, or fairy politics, or the politics of being a "fairy godmother." Anything is going to be good here.

4. Cinderella (1950)- Worldbuilding Cinderella's Parents - What on earth led to the situation where Cinderella's Father choose Lady Tremaine? Or tell me their love story? Why does Cinderella have a Fairy Godmother? So many questions about what happened before the movie!

5. Raya and the Last Dragon (2021): Raya, Namaari: Binturi? Dep La? Both? Neither? More? Super open to hearing how these women navigate the world after the movie's end. I'm open to any type of relationship here, but both of these women were competent and that's something I love seeing! Do they rebuild Kumandra or do they never really see eye to eye? Go for it!

I've begun transferring everything over to Ao3.  I'm super super late to the party.

Still no luck finding much active in the way of my current fandoms.  Still having fun on Tumblr, though, and on A03.

I have been amazed by the number of things I've written and forgotten.  Some good — some not.  But it's okay.  LOL!

I'm going to make some notes of things I started here and never finished.

100 Drabbles:  Iceman (X-men).  I've got over 40 of them.  Good excuse to rewatch the films.

I have stumbled back to LJ in the hopes of finding fandom joy again.  It's been a long time since I've written much of anything, and I haven't even read much either.  

Where does fandom hang out right now?  I know about AO3, but where do the discussions and the fun and the friendships happen?  Someone help me... LOL!

I'm not very active in fandom at the moment, but feel free to search my journal for samples of what I like and what I write. Also, if you search under the yuletide tag, you'll see my past letters.

General Likes and Dislikes:

Likes: Plot, witty dialogue, action scenes, sex scenes that are plausible, laughter, angst, things that make me cry, moral grays, loyal friends, hard choices, happy endings, quiet moments, and surprise twists.

Dislikes: Incest, underage sex, irresponsible kink, excessive violence, gore, stereotypes that go unexplored, stories that the author felt trapped into writing!

Bottom line - if you write it for me in one of these fandoms, I'm going to like it. So relax. Have fun. And, trust me, I'm already excited!

Request 1
Fandom:Hotel Transylvania (Movies)
Mavis Dracula Jonathan (Hotel Transylvania) Dracula (Hotel Transylvania) Martha Dracula

I adored these films. I would love to see more about the meaning of family in this universe. Feel free to include as many of the other monsters and families as you'd like!


Request 2
Fandom:Despicable Me (Movies)
Lucy Wilde Felonius Gru

I would love to see this fabulous couple handle some of the more typical moments of raising children. But, anything would be awesome! I'd love to see adventures, relationship growth, the Minions, their pasts coming back to haunt them... whatever works!

Request 3 by bewize
Fandom:The Incredibles (2004)
Violet Parr Dash Parr Jack-Jack Parr

I would really love to see the kids have adventures of their own - either as kids, or as adults, or both!

So, I participated in Yuletide this year. It was my sole fandom endeavor. That is just SO SAD.

I would really like to get involved with fandom again, though. It's a tremendous source of joy that I am missing in my life.

So, because it seems I need motivation - what ficathons/writing things are people participating in that I can still timely join?

Thanks!

PS - Yuletide write up coming soon. :)
