Eight Crazy Nights: Six

OMG did I really promise to do 17 more of these, plus Yuletide? *facepalm*

[info]skippy_fluff: SV: Oliver and Clark find they have more oil than they expected (or the oil they have lasts longer than expected). Came out a bit shaggy-dog, sorry.

Oiliens! )

[personal profile] giandujakiss: The Inside, Rebecca/Web/Paul UST, mindgames! This seemed to me to be the same prompt as [personal profile] livrelibre's Web/Rebecca/Paul (trust).

Inside man )

[personal profile] meret: SPN - A Captured by the Game (Sam/Dean) time stamp.

fallen idol )

[personal profile] livrelibre: Chuck, Chuck/Casey/Sarah (post-finale, training or "Let's get ready to rumble!"). Bonus to the first to ID the movie reference.

Chuck talks a little dirty in this one )

[personal profile] ariadnes_string: Fringe!fic: Locked room/trapped/quarantine always does it for me. Gen, Peter & Olivia.

A nice trip to the forest )

[personal profile] libgirl: M/S: snowflakes. Warning: gratuitous meanness to Bill Scully Jr.

Fight Club was wrong about you )

[personal profile] kass: SV, Clark/Lex, glow

Eight Crazy Nights: Five (SPN)

[personal profile] sanj: Sam/Dean, please, or SPN gen, on the theme of security. PG; read it however you want.

happiness is a warm gun )


[personal profile] justabi: Smith/Wesson fic, only not the like *waves hands* sanitized incestless happy wincest stuff. I want House of Yes Wesson family dynamics, because seriously I always wanted Jo to actually be their sister and want Dean like burning anyway, and the irony of boyfriend Sam being horrified by wessoncest would make my life complete. Note: AU in that Sam and Dean stay mindwiped for a while. NC-17, Sam Wesson/Dean Smith/Jo Smith.

If all men were brothers, would you let one marry your sister? )

Eight Crazy Nights: Five (SV)

[personal profile] ladydey: SV, Clark/Lex - People always assume that Clark is the "light" to Lex's "darkness." They have no idea how many ways or the number of times Lex has gladly saved the world - from Clark. Note: this didn’t go the way I meant it to, sorry.

IDIC )

[personal profile] runpunkrun: Maybe you could take Clark and Lex and recast them in a romantic comedy? Note: So, very very AU.

Eight Crazy Nights: Five (SPN/XF fusion)

nrrrdy_grrrl: I'd love to see an AU cross-over between X files and SPN where Dean is the Mulder character, Sam is the missing Samantha (but not gender-swap)… Jo is Scully … Note: the prompt was too detailed for a snippet, and I couldn't write more than that, so I just picked.

Do you believe in the existence of demons? )

End.

Eight Crazy Nights: Four

Nobody wants to give me a warning label! It can't be the case that I don't require a warning, can it?

[personal profile] thefourthvine: BtVS: Ten Years after Sunnydale: Encounters with the Survivors of the Nation's Biggest Natural Disaster.

Look on my works, ye mighty )

[personal profile] libgirl: M/S: "It's not what it looks like”

early XF )

[personal profile] elliemurasaki: SPN: The angels are obviously not above using unethical means to persuade Dean...well, Ben Braeden isn't the only person out there who's probably Dean's kid. (Just the only one Dean knows about so far.) And judging by Claire Novak, whatever makes Dean and Sam suitable angelic vessels has even odds (if not a guarantee) of being passed on to Dean's kids...

angels are dicks. )

[personal profile] eclectic: girl!Dean, surprise visit to Sam, Stanford era.

Came out angsty, sorry. )

This *actually happened* in DCU canon. I don't even know! )

Eight Crazy Nights: Three (part 3)

[personal profile] lapillus: SPN, Winchester Gospels, midrash. Bonus points for working in Hanukkah. Or Bobby. 
Gen. Not quite midrash, but I hope I got the spirit of the thing.

The chronology of the Gospel presents many difficulties. )


****

[personal profile] amalthia: Chuck is kidnapped, raped/tortured and Sarah and Casey have to rescue him before he breaks and reveals any government secrets. Note: Chuck is usually my happy place, so this is weird.  Nonexplicit/aftermath.

Eight Crazy Nights: One

[personal profile] lomedet: BtVS: Giles, Xander, abracadabra

You can do magic )

[info]ruby_jelly: what happened next, in Finders Keepers (Sam/Dean), after Az discovered Dean's mutiny? And was Sammy as squeaky sweet as Dean wanted him to be? And did Sammy really think possession or partners? (Note 1: I think what came out is closer to this prompt than to [personal profile] thuviaptarth’s “FindersKeepers!Sam finds Dean more than he bargained for,” though I could see where one might disagree. Note 2: I’ve borrowed the name I used for “Meg” in Captured by the Game.)

The fire in earnest  )

Random stuff I'm thinking about

1. Is it just me, or did Legend of the Seeker kick it up a notch in the past two episodes and start decreasing the pretty:interesting ratio? (While arguably getting prettier, even!)

2. Consider, if you will, that the all-male lawyers at this Texas firm saw nothing wrong with the images appearing on their website. (Possibly triggery for sexual abuse/child abuse.)  I actually believe very strongly that we need defense lawyers who specialize in crimes for which even defending an accused is excoriated—but this isn’t the way to do it.

3. Now for something completely different. I am a technological incompetent with a CMS on my website and a planned move to a new webhost. Anybody have recommendations for cheap assistance doing the move? And by assistance, I mean: somebody to whom I could trust with my site password and have the thing moved? Because the semester is so crazy, we’re probably looking at a move in early 2010.

So far behind

Still taking Eight Crazy Nights prompts; Thuvia, I’ll hold a space for you unless you tell me otherwise.

Eight Crazy Nights: seeking prompts

It's getting towards that time of year--less than a month to Hanukkah.  So prompt me for my Eight Crazy Nights of fic posting.  You might get a snippet, you might get a longer story.  Available fandoms are at least: SPN, Chuck, Fringe, SV, BtVS, XF, The Inside, and you're welcome to try your luck with anything else.  Multiple prompts welcome, though I will try to fill at least one of everyone's before circling back around.  Prompts need not be Hanukkah-themed.

Reviews and a SPN rec

Fic rec: Mistaken for Strangers, by [info - personal] bellatemple . As an acafan I couldn't not love it. And if you think about the SPN-fan relationship as indicated by the show, the title gets even better.

Dear Yuletide Author:

First, thanks so much! I’m pretty catholic in my tastes, and I really appreciate finding stories in a rare fandom. As indicated by my fairly vague prompts, I focus most on character. I love plot, but I also love angst and hijinks. Other things I like: flawed heroes, the Gift of the Magi, getting the thing that you want the most except that it’s broken, banter, love strong enough to rock the world, trust, betrayal, power games, bodyswap, genderswap, sex pollen, consequences, telling the truth in a way that the hearer doesn’t believe it, characters who think they’re lying but aren’t, shaggy dog stories, love and blood and rhetoric, and so on. I do not mind unhappy endings; I love melodrama and characters who defy melodrama.  Pretty much the only thing I don’t like: bashing female characters.

Mostly fannish

1. Deep fannish thought of the day: Nobody ever inquires into the identificatory position of the guy watching lesbian (quote unquote) porn—we don’t talk about him as torn between the positions “do I want to do her or do I want to be her?”  (Are we that uncomfortable with women in the subject position "director"?)

2. Chuck talk )

3. Legend of the Seeker premiere )

4. Coffee and Consent: From Until Someone Wakes Up, a play written by Carolyn Levy and a group of Macalester College students:

Waiter: Would you like some coffee?
Woman: Yes, please.
Waiter: Just say when. (Starts to pour.)
Woman: There. (He keeps pouring.) That's fine. (He pours.) Stop! (She grabs the pot; there is coffee everywhere.)
Waiter: Yes, ma'am.
Woman: Well, why didn't you stop pouring?
Waiter: Oh, I wasn't sure you meant it.
Woman: Look, of course I meant it! I have coffee all over my lap! You nearly burned me!
Waiter: Forgive me, ma'am, but you certainly looked thirsty. I thought you wanted more.
Woman: But -
Waiter: And you must admit, you did let me start to pour. comment count unavailable comments on DW

Great post on interactivity in Heroes, SPN, and Castle

... and what it means for fans, from [info - personal] serrico .  Read it here!  My emotional reaction to what SPN is doing with fans has largely been negative, but I don't think that invalidates it as storytelling (just makes the storytellers jerks, and ties in with their other gender issues, but that's a whole 'nother thing).  Jayne's analysis is really useful as categorization and explanation of why Heroes feels so cold in its interactivity even as it's doing everything Henry Jenkins is selling as the future of entertainment.
