YOU GUYS this is my last week of class! :D

So in order to share my glee, have a meme! Ask me for something that would make you gleeful :D Now, I don't mean the stuff you'd be *proud* to admit you like :D I mean the emo/cliche'd/trite/cheesy/silly/badfic FANNISH GLEE INDUCING stuff. I am *deliriously happy* to finally be getting out of uni, so there's a lot of squeefulness to go around :D Feel free to comment anonymously if you're all *that* embarrassed, but c'mon, it's only me :)


Disclaimers:

• I am slow with requests. You all know this by now. ^^; Though hopefully I will be less slow now that, oh lookit, soon no more classes squee!



• They will be short. Seriously. (WILLIAM STEVEN ROBERT CARTER I AM LOOKING AT YOU.)



• I will attempt fandoms about which I know nothing provided you link me to something you consider indispensable to understanding said characters. And/or geek at length about them. I'm easily influenced that way ^^

For my Loralove. SO OVERDUE OMG. Ch 1 is here. The third chapter ought to be the last one. I know what happens so hopefully there won't be so long between chapters this time ^^;

Still alive! Still writing! Last semester of school(!) EVER(!!!) (well at least until Master's. Ohgod I need a break first), hence lack of post-osity. Have not abandoned anything. Y'know, on the off-chance anyone was worried ^^;

Boston Legal ficlet. This is entirely piig♥’s fault for egging me on. Has no plot—mostly it’s a string of things that amuse me.

I'm counting this with February's work 'cause like I said, I'm not quite ready for March yet ^^' Mostly worksafe, no spoilers really.

Wordcount: 2,500


( More than two characters this time )

So the month ends tomorrow and I'm attempting to pad my wordcount for February. Since I do not count anything until I have posted it, have a ficlet. I'm sure this is piig♥'s fault somehow.

Erm. Hi everyone! Bunch of new people :)

Everything is tagged, so wander, read, and enjoy :) I've improved a lot so I hope my older stuff doesn't make you twitch as badly as it does me. The fanfic I've written for the original works of lorataprose and piigverse probably won't make much sense unless you've read the canon, so be warned :) (and you should totally go read their stuff) (like right now) (seriously, I'll still be here and they are both made of equal parts Win, Awesome, and Nift). You should also read altis, though hers is f-locked. I also recommend Piig's pre-apocalyptic Nano and torturedsoul, a Bandom AU-of-original-characters collaboration between Altis and Lorata.

I do take requests, but am dreadfully slow at fulfilling them. Mostly because I have the attention span of a beenie baby. I also do trades; f'r ex, I wrote some Legally Blonde genfic for moon_brain in exchange for some awesome fingerless gloves with the Batsignal on the back. I got the better end of the deal, no question :D

Everything not-safe-for-work is labeled as such. At least half of my work is queer in some way. I exclusively write speculative fiction, with the rare veryshort exception, so treat those little beasties like the three-legged unicorns they are and feed them glitter-coated carrot-shaped marshmallows. Feedback makes me happy :) If anyone wants to be filtered in or out of any given group or topic just let me know.

For ease of navigation:

Steve, aka, Where O Werewolf: 35k and counting. First post.

last year's Nano tag, I'm about halfway through the book and still climbing. If you're not on that filter and want to be, just say :)

my original stuff. Bill's Barnacles is the best so far, and is currently out looking for a job.

Market Listings, for those of you also trying to get published :) I need to update the post. And I will. Any day now.

So yeah. Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas, Lora-love! This isn't the au you were expecting. This just muscled its way to the front of the queue. Some of these bunnies have no manners. I'm still working on the Huge Honking AU I swear.
A/N: Idea c/o Tammy who mentioned steampunk. Woot.

I HATE FORMATTING TO SUBMIT
I need to start writing in manuscript format. Except that would be annoying as fuck for web posting
augh. I need to go through a 10k story and add an extra ' ' after each period and all the rest.

I am going to eat concrete from a height when I have to format a bloody novel. Arrrrrgh.

Fleef: Lora, for you! <3! *proffers Road To El Dorado fanfic.*

( Lora cheer-up present. )

Hallo! Christmas approacheth: I've got the Huge Honking AU for my lorata, and the Werewolf backstory/AU for my piig, and moon_brain had wanted "The council of Elrond according to Sorkin", which I will give my best shot. Anybody else wanting a fic-present needs to speak now :) I like writing and I like making people happy with my writing *even more*, so say somethin' :D

And! But! There is life after Christmas! So this is the spot to request a Valentines fic. It doesn't need to have anything to do with Valentines Day, neither the historical nor the pop-culture chocolate fest. What I WILL do is write something that hits your bulletproof gen-kink. F'r example: Mine is flying horses. I love them beyond all reason, and I can't explain it, and would likely be embarrassed to admit it aloud. I will read anything with a flying horse in it. Fucking *anything*, no matter how badly-written or cliche'd or sappy or dumb or cringe-worthy. I will read the whole thing. Possibly more than once. I also love the magical-animal-companion/talking-animal genre far too much and barely restrain myself from writing such AU's for. Pretty much everything, actually. Seriously can you SEE an AU where Ellis is a smallish sickly poison-type dragon and Hu is the young squire/knight-errant whom the dragon decides is Shiny and must be hoarded and kept and tormented? Can you SEE an AU where Ezra is a fat little pony with tidy scales on his legs and little useless fluffy wings and is Corin's familiar? Or Randal is a bound elemental and Trevor is his former master's apprentice and heir and the two of them have to get along and accomplish *insert task here* and---well, you get the point.

So yes. Embrace your ficcish kinks and give me a prompt, if you're so inclined. And if nobody requests anything I will punish you monkeys somehow, never fear >:3 There are only about seven of you, it can be done! So make me feel useful or I'll find you and put itching powder in your sock drawer ♥.

Disclaimer: I did no research ^_^
For moon_brain in trade for awesome Bat-symbol fingerless gloves.

This is not an exhaustive list! Go to the website for more detailed guidelines. Many pay-rates are in US currency. Might be a good idea to bookmark; I'll be updating this as I find new markets.

What's new: All links checked; new contests; new listings.
New or altered listings marked with a ♥.

Newbie Nerves: Don't be! Many magazines--like Baen's Universe, Analog, Asimov's, etc-- WANT to be the first to publish new talent, so they can go ":3" when we're big and famous. All ya'all should be sending stuff out <3 We are the future of the genre, my dears, but they aren't going to come looking for us. If nothing else that would be creepy.
