So I was thinking the other day about how I started writing fanfic, which is probably similar to a lot of other people's stories.

There I was, an avid lifelong bookworm, who loved sci-fi and movies and television, and one day one of my friends says, "Hey, have you ever heard of fanfiction?"

And I'm all, "Huh?"

And so she explained what it was and we were both really into Stargate at the time and so she sent me some links with the wary caveat of, "Uh, so some of them are slash."

And I'm all, "What's slash?"

Hah, hah, hah. Oh, how far I've traveled down that path. The same friend, by the way, finds it deeply, deeply amusing that I have surpassed her and actually write the stuff now.

Anyway, I always dabbled in writing but never did much with it and one day decided to see if I could. So I wrote a tiny little short fic that was het, with Hermione and Fred and it was cute and light and PG and I posted it on fanfic.net with serious trepidation and anxiety. And then I got some lovely comments most of which ended with, "Looking forward to the next chapter!"

And I'm all, "Next chapter? But, but, but...it was a one shot!"

And that seems to have set the tone for my entire fanfic writing experience.

Anyhow, that was a really long, completely unnecessary way of saying that I've finally gotten around to doing a master post of all my fics :)

Please see top of each individual fic for more details and for warnings.

 

 

( MASTER FIC INDEX )

Hey all!

In case you didn't see it already posted over at the amazingly talented savoytruffle's LJ, the two of us have been working on a Star Trek time travel co-write for...many, many months, heh, and it is finally seeing the light of day!!!

Please go over and check it out at her journal -


Title: Still You Don't Expect to be Bright and Bon Vivant
Authors: graceandfire & savoytruffle
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Fandom: Star Trek XI

Words: 9,640
Disclaimer: Not our characters, not our world. All gains are purely spiritual in nature.

Summary: Leonard McCoy has never met Jim Kirk. In fact, he’s never even heard of the guy. Until the day some crazy old Vulcan walks up to Leonard in a bar and asks him to save the world.
Authors’ Note: Song title comes from Paul Simon’s “American Tune,” which came on the radio a couple months ago and is pretty much this fic’s Bones in a musical nutshell. savoytruffle says: Thanks, graceandfire, for agreeing to follow me on this delightful collaborative journey. graceandfire says: It’s been my pleasure, it’s been a blast, and I’m so completely thrilled we did this!

Hi all!

I've been largely absent from the internet over the past few weeks for a variety of reasons, including traveling and personal stuff, and so (just in case anyone was wondering why the heck Grace fell off the earth) I just wanted to mention that...

a) I'm still alive!!! *waves hello*

b) I'm totally, ridiculously behind in responding to comments and reading fics.  I'm hoping to slowly catch up over the next few weeks on responding to comments and reading (and leaving lavish praise and appreciation for) the wonderful fics that I know have been posted while I've been MIA

c) Due to the aforementioned personal stuff going on (a lot of which is great stuff and, yeah, I know, could I be any more vague *slaps self*) my available time to write and internet surf has decreased significantly for the foreseeable future.  So, as much as I love writing, I won't be posting fics at nearly the pace I've been doing over the past year.  That said, I do plan to keep writing and do have a couple of things in progress to be posted in the near-ish future.

Uhm, and that's all. 

Hope everyone is having an awesome July!

So, I feel like I haven’t posted in awhile and I miss all of you all.  It kind of feels like the Star Trek fandom has tapered off a bit, which is natural, but makes me a little sad.  And I sure haven’t been writing and commenting as much as I’d like (lots of RL stuff going on) so I thought I’d shamelessly steal borrow this idea from savoytruffle…

 

 

( Is Graceandfire your real name? )

I am trying to resist the new iPad. 

I am resisting the cool factor.

And the fact that I can still read my Kindle books on it using the Kindle app. 

And the fact that it is shiny and new and has great business apps, and games and such.

And you know what's coming closest to pushing me over the edge?

THIS

The fact that you can download Marvel comic books from the itunes store and read via a very awesome looking app.

*sigh*

I'm usually much better at pretending to be a grownup.

Title:  Two (Glaring) Peas in a Pod
Summary:  Like father like daughter?
Rating: PG-13 for swearing
Warnings:  Cursing
Genre: A silly little ficlet
Pairing:  Gen - Kirk, McCoy and baby Joanna (and a bit of Hikaru and a not-so-little bit of Chapel)
Words:  405
Spoilers: Not really, no.
Disclaimer:  Characters and world are sadly not mine
Feedback:  Always welcome!

Hee! So my only excuse for this is that I'm a little punchy.

And that a guy in our office, who is famous for his glares, brought his baby in and it was amazing how her glare was identical. It was a serious baby glare of disdain.

Also, I realize the timing is wonky on Joanna being so young.  Consider it a one night stand of smoking hot sex between Leonard and his ex-wife.  With consequences.
