1 - No longer accepting friend requests here.  You can find me on Dreamwidth as maidenjedi, if you're so inclined.

2 - I'll be crossposting here for awhile, but probably not forever.  Nothing on Livejournal will be made public.

3 - All existing entries are being locked down.  Fanfiction can be found at AO3 and Dreamwidth.

I've been on Livejournal for a ridiculously long time, and this sucks.  And yeah, moving is silly in a way (hello, dictator government!  Welcome, and please wipe your feet before proceeding!).  But I've already been on DW for a number of years, as I prefer the interface and the fact that it is American-owned and -operated.  This doesn't signal a huge change for me.

Howdy NPT writer! Hopefully, we got matched on a fandom you're as excited about as I was when I chose them. I wrote most of what I was thinking in my sign-up, but here's some more about me generally.

Generally, I'm a fan of angst, post-apocalypse canon and AU, buddy road trips, awesome women being awesome, pre-series spec and canon-divergent AUs (the kind that just deviates within the universe - I don't like alt time periods, high school, coffee shop or other such AUs). For most of my fandoms, if I have a ship, it's probably het, but there are exceptions. For all that I like angsty, dark stuff, I don't go in for sexual violence, explicit or otherwise and prefer no irrevocable main character deaths.

Specifics under the cut in case of spoilers, especially for the current season of Game of Thrones and most recent season of The Walking Dead..

Hi, Yuletide Author! Thank you for signing up and thank you in advance for what you're going to write. I've been doing Yuletide long enough that it feels like a genuine tradition, and I am excited!

Generally, things you should know about my likes/dislikes: I prefer angst over fluff, I like happy endings that come after struggle or discord, I love character studies and backstories. I love minor characters in fic, the chance to flesh out what we don't see on the page or screen. Not into pregnancy AU, high school or university AU, or modern AU. While I love angst, I don't love trauma, especially of the sexual variety. Not into threesome pairings in any of my requested fandoms and prefer femslash if any slash (though not graphic). This year I've been pretty obsessed with costume drama, so my requests reflect that. I'm on Tumblr as Maidenjedi and my AO3 profile is linked here, too (also, Maidenjedi).

Three of my fandoms this year are represented on page and screen. I've watched all the versions available and read the novels, so feel free to cross those lines in your story if you choose one of those.

Specifics under the cut! Yay!  And again, THANK YOU!!!

Well, the Not Prime Time reveal happened while I was away, so I'm late in posting this here. This fic ate my brain for a good number of weeks. It's wildly AU and went in a totally different direction than I thought it would when I decided I wanted to write about Shireen surviving.

Not Prime Time authors are revealed today, so I can cop to writing the following:

The Man in the Gabardine Suit is a Spy (Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America movies)
Steve and Natasha are on the run. Until one day, they aren't.  This one was written for snickfic and was from my actual assignment.  I wasn't able to see Captain America: Winter Soldier a second time so my canon is a bit squiffy, and my tonal inspiration was drawn a bit from the final episodes of the first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  But truthfully, I started shipping Steve/Natasha after that movie and the idea of them on the run fascinates me.

To Humbler Functions, I Call Thee (Game of Thrones)
Catelyn Stark, mother.  For etoilecourageuse.  I tried a few different ways of writing what I was driving at: Catelyn Stark's identity as a mother is her highest calling, and how does mothering five children of her own and serving in that function for two other children really become rooted in her?  I also originally tagged this as also being a Song of Ice and Fire story, for which I was chastised in the comments because I shifted the canon to suit my needs re: Robb Stark's birth.  But frankly, since a certain incarnation of Cat is unlikely to grace our screens, and I'm theorizing that every decision, every opportunity of mothering contributes to that eventual fate, I think this story is for both canons.  ::shrug::

Title: Ruins
Author: Maidenjedi
Rating: R
Warnings: None really, but this is bleak, as it's post-col.

Summary: Three months after the world ends, Mulder and Scully are heading west. XF Santa 2013 gift for memories_child

NOTES: This functions as a sort of prequel to my post-col story Left Standing. There’s no real need to read that first but they do tie in together. memories_child  asked for post-col/post-series, and this came to mind. As in the previous story, I’m ignoring finale canon and the second film.
