elisi's humble abode

Am not feeling great, so am doing the icon meme, with icons chosen by the_redjay.

( Cut for space )

So, a little over a year ago I did the WIP meme.

And looking back I'm feeling rather accomplished.

I finished My Immortal 2, and wrote all of Trust Me (I'm a Lying Liar Who Lies) and am now working on Chapter 19 of Dating the Cleverest Boy in the World, when the excerpt I posted then was the beginning of Chapter 9. (Which has moved the story from Christmas 2025 to Christmas 2027...)

However, I've also added a WIP to my list. The working title is 'Five Ways Jack Harkness Didn't Meet River Song'. (Or maybe 'Five Ways Jack Harkness Didn't Meet the Doctor's Wife'.) Which will range from fluff to very dark stuff.

( Excerpt [from one of the dark pieces] )

I tinker with now and again, but it's refusing to work as it should, besides which my head is mostly being consumed by my darling Alex, so it could be a while before you see it. In the meantime, you're more than welcome to dip into my AU 'verse (Masterpost: Not The Last). It's my very own little playground where I try to examine what it means to be a Time Lord through my set-up: What would it be like for a Time Lord child (the Master's son, born during TYTNW - everything goes AU from thereon) to grow up on earth, always knowing that his real home has been destroyed, and having to patch together a way of living with the Doctor in loco parentis, Jack as a big brother figure, and his father in the wings, whispering about power and danger and the rights of his heritage...

Or rather, it's an examination of Time Lords through the prism of this very specific character and his very specific story. (He is so much his father's son - I re-read the naming of things recently (Best. Master fic. Ever. If you haven't read it, run, don't walk) - and I almost got chills at how much of Alex's reasoning I could see in young!Koschei...)

Anyway, if anyone feels like dipping their toes into my 'verse, the first stories aren't long ('Dating' being the odd one out in that it just keeps growing. Although I know exactly where it's going).

I am useless at trying to sell myself, after I got flamed years and years ago when I was a total newbie, so this is a vague sort of attempt at enticing more than 5 readers to the thing I am probably most invested in of anything I've written, because it's mine. The sandbox isn't, of course, but it is so far removed from canon now that it feels original. And I - selfishly - want my characters to be loved, because they're so dear to me.

Apologies for the ramble. And an excerpt from the very beginning of 'Not the Last'... Just because. *g* ( Read more... )

Stolen from my flist. Because I have NO TIME, but I love all these stories. (Everything un-beta'd & a bit rough and I go a little over the three sentences with most of these.)

Post the first sentence (or three) from every WIP you're currently working on, even if it's very short. Then invite people to ask questions about your WIPs. With any luck, you'll get talking about writing, and the motivation to take that WIP one step closer to completion will appear as if by magic!

( OK, here goes. Mostly Doctor Who, although there's a bit of Buffy in there too... )

This meme was all over the place a few weeks ago, and I thought it looked v. interesting, and then didn't get round to it. But better late than never, right?


If you were asked to pick one scene, one shot, one detail, one moment of some kind out of all the things I've written and say "This, this, for whatever reason, I remember, this is something that struck home with me, that I wanted to keep," what would it be?

Feel free to just mention bits that have stuck with you; they don't have to be your favoritest fic memories ever. :)

Snow again. Although only enough to cover the ground.

Many thanks to jamalov29 for the lovely virtual present and to green_maia for the card! :)

(The thing that amused me was the 'how many comments' questions at the end. The top was 5000+. I've received 30,000+... *g*)

1.) Go to my master fic list and pick out a line or two from one of my stories. (Must be a full line, please -- no sentence fragments or speech tags or other such nonsense.)
2.) I will respond with which story of mine I think it's from.
3.) There might be a drabble/random fic snippets in it for anyone who stumps me.

snickfic had the brilliant idea to host an id!fic meme, and (since Impish Girl is having a sleepover tonight, and I need something to distract me from the noise) I threw my name in.

(Considering that I have written everything from Spike & Angel as dragon riders on Pern to TW/Twilight mpreg x-over fic - as well as all the Spuffy etc - I kinda hate to think what people might tell me...)

I'm expecting the invasion back soon, so decided to have a go at this. Surprisingly accurate, actually.
