lady_sarai

I got to thinking that I should have one central place to locate all my fic. So here is that place, organized by fandom.

( DCU )

( X-Men Movieverse )

( Narnia )

( Harry Potter )

( Misc fandoms )


( Comment fic in various fandoms and places )


( DCU, co-written with Zoe )


( RENT, co-written with Zoe )


( DCU, co-written with Katt )


( DVD-style Fic Commentaries I've done )

I posted fic! O_O And now I'm off to clean the fridge to make room for the MILLION groceries I bought this morning, ack! And then bake. ::nods:: (OMG where has December gone??)

In other news, we have twenty inches of snow. Yes, twenty inches. 50.8 centimeters, thank you google. (That actually sounds equally impressive, however you read it.) That poor Damn Reindeer is half-buried, and our 24" Christmas trees? Well, you know, we can see 4 inches of them. ;)

ANYWAY, FIC! Sort of a... multi-media fic thing? ::shrug::


Title: Wish You Were Here! 1/?
Authors: lady_sarai and zoe_chan
Pairing/Characters: Tim/Cissie, Bart, Kon, Cassie, Jaime, Rose
Rating/Warnings: PGish
Disclaimer: We do not own anything or anyone. We promise.

Summary: When the Titans go abroad, they have a tradition to uphold: they send a postcard to Cissie.

Part 1: In which the tradition is established.

Authors' Note: Okay, so lady_sarai has a slight Photoshop addiction, and both of us love postcards. For the purposes of this fic, the Titans are Tim, Cassie, Kon, Bart, Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle) and Rose Wilson (Ravager). Which means, yes, Bart and Kon are alive again. Don't ask us how. And to allow for this to be, they are all college age--hence the address on Cissie's postcards. (And, yes, Tim and Cissie are together.)

(And yes, this is image-heavy. Sorry, dial-up.)

Remember how you said you like postcards?

So what have I been up to this Friday night?

I made a masterpost of my fanfic, because it seemed like a handy thing to do. Organized by fandom. Hee. (I have more than I thought I did, actually.)

Shockingly, the most prolific fandom? DC. Considering I only started dipping my toes in back in February of this year? Yeah, I'm surprised too.

Although, the amount of unfinished, unposted fic zoe_chan and I have? Obscene. Just wait.

Oh, my shiny almost-new fandom. I ♥ you.

Speaking of DC, I made some icons--just cropping, but. Have some.

All from Young Justice.



Yes, I know, they're all Tim and Cissie. I blame zoe_chan. ;) (Although I really should take half the blame.)

Here, have a Bart:



Edit: Oh! Oh! I forgot! I was all productive and home-improvementish today!! =D

The banister (or railing, excuse me Home Depot employee who didn't know what a banister was) in our stairs fell down--fortunately while my brother was using it, not my mom. So today I removed all FIFTEEN screws from the wall, where they were stuck. And spackled the holes. Go me! (One of them was a big hole, will have to maybe do another coat.)

Also, I replaced the hinges on the cupboard doors under the sink.

In all, I unscrewed 28 screws and put in 16--which means I spent almost three hours wrestling with 44 screws, never mind the spackling.

I feel all handy. But my arms are DEAD and an electric screwdriver would have been nice. =P

So! I am writing my femgenficathon fic about Cissie King-Jones, the former Arrowette, who is awesome and amazing and really, really fun to have living in my head.

And I realize that some of you--::cough::xenokattzscribophile::cough::--do not know who Cissie is! Now, I could easily *describe* her, and go on about how very cool she is, but...

I decided to let Cissie speak for herself. ;) What does this mean? PICSPAM. Or several.

(Because, yes, I totally have all of Young Justice on my hard drive, JOY! And honestly--I'm not so sad that Cissie is in comics-limbo, given what's happened to the *rest* of Young Justice these days. It hasn't been pretty.)

Anyway, so here is the first of what will probably be several picspams featuring Cissie.

Part of why I love Cissie is because she joins YJ in issue 4, and quits by issue 17--but continues to make regular appearances for the rest of the series, almost 40 issues after she quit. So, picspam 1 is dedicated to Cissie's career as Arrowette, short as it may seem.

Meet Arrowette. The superhero who dares to ruffle Robin's hair when he is in full Bat-sulk mode:



Please to be noting, those of you familiar with Cissie, that I do a significant amount of context and explaining for the benefit of those unfamiliar. If I've made any mistakes, feel free to point them out!

Also--so not dial-up friendly. Sorry.

( Click to see Arrowette join Young Justice, yell at Superman and deal with her *mother.* )

Next time, Cissie goes to the Olympic Games in Australia, gets a roommate and is eaten by fanmail.

(I totally need some Cissie icons--better yet, some Tim/Cissie icons. :) I could make them myself, but begging is more fun. ;) Plus, photoshop keeps quitting on me when I am working. Not cool.)

So, miakun wrote me an entirely awesome first line ficlet featuring Dick and Roy and homework. Eeee! So I went and played in her meme!

Here's what I wrote--Tim/Kon, roughly 390 words.

For miakun:

( Tim is never really going to get tired of it. )

Small note: If you play in my meme, I will totally play in yours! :)

5 Times Donna Had To Remember She Really Loved The Boys, So She Didn't Kill Them for miakun:

I tried to make "the boys" apply to ALL the boys, but Donna told me that "The Boys" refers to Dick and Roy. Also, my canon knowledge is handwavy and I had no internet check available. :)

( Roy asked her about Amazonian customs... )

And then, for ME:

5 Things Kon Secretly Loves About The Farm But Would Never Admit, Even To Clark—But Maybe To Tim

( Except he thinks Tim already knows these things. )

Okay, now I feel bad mooching the internet and a table, even though I bought a bagel, because it's getting kind of crowded in here. Oh, my conscience.

I discovered last night that I get EXTREMELY intermittent internet access at home, for about two seconds at a time, but that means occasionally an email slips through the internetless haze. It's also the worst tease possible, because then I spend an hour and a half hitting "sign on" in vain hope that maybe it will work this time. =P

xenokattz and I have created what might possibly be the world's greatest crossover universe in the HISTORY of crossover universes, complete with the ultimate OTP of CUTENESS.

I think that's all I'll say for now, but while she's at school and work, I may or may not have been obsessing over this. OMG. Best. Thing. EVER.

Also, Kon continues to own my heart and soul. And Tim. And Lian, and Roy and Dick and Bart and guh, DCU, how much do I love you? I'm also growing fond of the Superfamily and THAT is saying something.

My rabid bunny of plot is fighting with the crossover Bunnzilla, and my brain might not be able to handle this much fannish glee, so! MEME!

Possibly my favorite meme EVER!!!! So, PLAY WITH ME, please! =D Gakked from everyone and their monkey's uncle:

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "5 times Dick gave Bruce a headache", "5 things Kon might actually like about living in Smallville," or "5 ways Dick and Roy might have met.") Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun!

I'm telling you, I love this meme, I'll try just about anything--and I'll tell you if I won't. ;)

Um. Note to those I coerced into playing penknife's "I Never..." challenge... those would be due April 5th.

Which I just realized is TOMORROW. O_O (Boy, I'm a smart one.)

And it's snowing a very wet snow and I had outdoor recess duty today. Blah.

Also, had a story idea on the way to work but a day of math ed teching drove it from my brain and it makes me sad. I need a tape recorder or something.

BTW, the summers_fling fics I've read thus far are BEYOND amazing. Just... really wow. Especially the one for me! Bearings by ion_bond. OMG, it's got a very young (set in 1985), *blind* (as in pre-ruby quartz) Scott Summers and ERIK LEHNSHERR and BRAILLE.

Yes, you heard that combination correctly. Also, there is a mention of an Atari screen. How much LOVE is that?

I wish I had more time to just READ these fics, but I do have to, you know, write another story. =P Plus there's the whole have-a-life thing. (A what now?)

I think, after yuletide and summers_fling, it's safe to say that I ADORE ficathons, despite the last-second panic. Which, you know, is my own fault for apparently working best under pressure.

Here's hoping that works for my "I Never..." fic. Heh. >_<

I'm incredibly happy with how my summers_fling fic turned out, given the amount of flailing I did over it and how much I HATED it on Sunday afternoon--you can ask my mother, who got to hear how much it sucked when I was helping make dinner. She has no idea what I was talking about, but was very sympathetic. zoe_chan put up with my AIM flailing with the usual grace and minimal eye-rolling, complete with statements of "you do not suck." ;)

Also, I'm a geek, but I think I'll save the reason why for another post.

*

Also, have fallen deeply and madly in love with Superboy. Dammit, Kon. And Tim. But I already loved Tim, so this is not news. My Kon love isn't news now, either, not to poor zoe_chan and xenokattz. Although I blame Katt for this *anyway* because she's the Super-Fan, and I've always been a Bat-Fan. And I blame my Tim-love on zoe_chan, because... well. Why not? ;) (And I thought I was *SAVING* my professions of geekiness?)

On this note, I have a rec of IMMENSE AWESOMESAUCE POWER. LIKE OMG. I flailed at zoe_chan over IM all night when I read it (and stayed up until 2:30 to do so), even though she was sleeping, and I emailed Katt and. Yeah. I think I had multiple geekgasms. (Which is a term you KNOW I've been dying to say.)

The Way I Was Made by hackthis

It is Superman Returns meets Smallville meets the Teen Titans v. 3 (DC comicverse). And it's GOOD. REALLY good. It's adult, and slash, but seriously awesome in so many ways. Basic idea? Jason White is Kon-El.

No, *so* not joking. Complete with Lex Luthor DNA. You'd think it'd be crack, and it IS, but it's the GOOD crack.

I know enough of each verse to make loud, high-pitched noises when I recognized things--like BART, and STEPH, and the shades of Jason Todd that Jason White exhibits, and the incredible mention of the Narrows made me fall over because that makes it Batman Begins verse, as well. GUH. This is like the crossover to end all crossovers, AND IS WELL-WRITTEN.

AND it does right by Richard White, which we all know is MAJOR for me (or we should know). Because Jason has three dads, but he only calls Richard "dad."

The author's Jason voice is amazing, and so Kon-like that at first it's a stretch to think of little Jason White in SR as this college student with such blazing sarcasm and wit, but then it all makes sense.

Calculus isn't the same as 2 + 2 = 4, though, and Jason's not too sure how he's going to take care of his math requirement without bribery and blackmail.

Remarks like that are his inner Luthor coming out, which is a big joke with his dad, but Clark doesn't really tend to laugh about it very much. When Clark is all uptight, Jason reminds him that he's a genetically created baby, who was implanted in his mom while she was kidnapped on assignment. It took three men and two women just to get him into college.

Jason's bound to be a little warped; Clark should just accept it.

DUDE. Jason. Kon-El. MADE OF WIN. (I wish *I* had thought of this.) =D

Plus, hello, there is Tim/Jason-who-is-Kon, which, you know, is like icing on the cake.

One of my students from when I taught sixth grade last year has my MSN and her screenname is currently "Dang my extremely loud internal monologue!" Oh, sweety, I love how much you are a geek. ♥

So... any plot bunnies want a home? Hit me with 'em.

(Wait, what am I doing? I must be mad.)

So, china_shop is running the Fandom Appreciation Challenge 2007, and today's challenge is to rec 5 fics written for challenges/exchanges.

Which means I get to revisit some AWESOME fics and squee!

( 5 recs of awesomesauce power in no particular order within--DC, HP, and Narnia )

American Idol? WHAT is going on with Paula--did she take crazy pills? And Simon wins for randomly pointing out that he likes puppies.

I'm so watching Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader because fifth-graders are smart, yo, and well... Schadenfreude, anyone? ;) (And I hope *I* am smarter than a 5th grader, as I hope to *teach* them!)

Trapezoids have four sides! I taught 4th grade geometry this fall. I know my quadrilaterals!

I plan on enjoying this show purely on the basis of the children, who will probably lose it when the adults blow easy answers. This will also prove that their parents cannot help them with homework. ;)
