Meanderings of a (former) lurker

11 January 2015 @ 11:50 pm

Following is an index of all my stories divided by size. Supernatural fanfiction is first, followed by CW RPS (real people slash). Other fandom fic (Glee & Merlin) follow. Some (not all) of the stories below are also on my AO3.

Quick note to fanartists: Podfic? Fanart? If any of my stories moves you -- go for it! Just drop me a line so I can see the outcome :) Please, IM, however, before writing anything within the universes of any of my RPF stories.)

Please comment when you read so I know what works! Occasionally, I deleted stories for personal reasons. If you recall something, PM me, and I'll see what we can do.

Wordcount: 985 – one-shot

Genre: Gen, coda

Characters: Miracle, Sam, Eileen, Dean

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural or any of its characters.
Author's Note: The Supernatural finale was not what I would have hoped for. But this is NOT a fix-it fic. I envy all those who loved it. Perhaps in an alternate universe I would have felt satisfied. But the deaths in the real world had me craving life in my favorite fantasy world. Yet, Supernatural changed me over the years. And I was blessed with performances that could not have been more sublime -- down to the very end. But most importantly, I've made lifelong friends that I cherish. So thank you, Supernatural. Thank you SPNfamily. Here's my personal Swan Song. See you on the other side.

$2.99 Limited Time Sale @ Amazon for Santa's Last Gift

Wanted to let everyone know that Santa's Last Gift is now available for purchase. It's on sale for a limited time at Amazon for $2.99 (40% off). This is a full-length novel, not based on any prior writing of mine.

The greatest gift might be what they already have.
After years away building his career, event planner Sebastian Chesnut returns to his small hometown of Fir Falls to reconnect with his mother, sister, and young nieces before his job takes him to London.
He doesn't expect to find his high school boyfriend, Matty, has become a virtual member of Seb's family. Back then, Matty only offered a casual relationship, but Seb fell hard, and history is soon repeating itself. Seb’s afraid to hope for a second chance, no matter how much they’ve grown and despite the family they share. Instead, he focuses on creating a last perfect holiday, which won’t be easy with his sister’s ex planning to take the girls over Christmas.
Seb and Matty might not know what to do about their feelings for each other, but one thing’s for sure—it won’t be Christmas without the kids. Can these star-crossed lovers pull off a holiday miracle?

Apollo 11's 50th Anniversary | A One Small Step Micro

I wanted to write a little something in the One Small Step verse in time for the 50th anniversary but real life got in the way. Please accept this teeny snippet...

The weeks leading up to Apollo 11's 50th anniversary, Jensen is like a kid, bouncing around and announcing each new documentary he finds as if he's uncovered a hidden treasure. But no matter how much Jensen tries to engage him, Jared remains calm and says that it's silly to think that the 50th anniversary means anything more than the 49th or 51st. It remains equally astounding to him every year. That makes Jensen go quiet, like he got the first time Jared shared his awe over the space program.

On the day of the anniversary they are lounging around, Jared with his laptop on his lap and Jensen reviewing a manuscript. The sound from Jared's speakers surprises Jensen and he looks over to see that Jared had clicked on the Google Doodle and Michael Collins' recording about his great adventure is playing. Jared's lip curls up in a delighted smile, dimples on display. That's when Jensen knows the rocket ship cake he'd ordered two months in advance, with as much accurate detail as the pastry chef could manage, would indeed be welcome.

Reworking an older story for possible publication

For those of you who liked my Big Bang story Beholder note that I’ll be removing it in a few weeks for a major rewrite and attempt to turn it commercial.

Feel free to go to AO3 and download a copy of it to keep for personal use if you wish. After it’s gone please feel free to DM me and I’ll send the older story or the new novel if finances are tight.

All I ask is that you don’t share it but rather send interested folks to me instead and I will do my best to accommodate.

The story was personal to me and while technically it was a real people fic, the characters were my own. Now they will change again and hopefully the novel will be stronger and tighter.

Thanks to everyone who checked out The Music of Love under my pen name Sandine Tomas. Available from Amazon or Dreamspinner Press. I hope to have another novel out in time for the holidays. As always I have a special place in my heart for my SPNfamily without whose support I couldn’t have returned to my writing. Hugs and kisses to you all.

AO3 MOBI files issue

Update!!!! It's FIXED. Thanks to anyone who made some noise about this. :D

Amazon has let us know the issue is fixed and you should be able to send AO3's MOBI files to your Kindle once more! (We've already sent a few ourselves!)
— AO3 Status (@AO3_Status) August 18, 2018

So for no clear reason it became impossible to email MOBI files from AO3 to Kindle addresses. They keep getting rejected.

Then AO3 posts this Tweet:

Bad news, MOBI users: we just spoke to @Amazon's @AmazonHelp and were told emailing MOBI files will no longer be supported by Kindle's personal document service. You'll have to transfer them from a computer or download them directly to your device from now on.
— AO3 Status (@AO3_Status) August 13, 2018

There is a workaround (for now) -- download the MOBI and then convert using the free app Calibre. The converted MOBI will still email to your Kindle address.

I don't know if this will change and they really will stop accepting MOBI files (their own ebook files!) like they already don't accept or convert ePub files.

Personally, this is upsetting because I love AO3 and the ease with which I used to get nicely formatted fanfics on my Kindle. I hated the weird spacing and such of a converted PDF.
