The Middle Distance

Wager of Sin. (prompt: Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley, repentance)

Notes: This worked out to exactly 666 words. Also, like the last PB ficlet I did with them, if you think it is a coda/sequel to an earlier fic, you are correct.)

There's one more, in one more fandom, I hope to do before the deadline...we'll see if I get there.

And it's...a fandom I've never written in before! (I had hoped to do a few of those).

The Gentle (fandom: Narnia. Prompt: Susan/anyone, jealous)

Wow, SGA is the smuttiest fandom ever!

Here's my entry #2--yes, I'm way behind, but I have two other WIPs I hope will roll tomorrow.

How about a canon het pairing for a change? It's Lord of the Rings, angsty Éowyn/Faramir.

Snape's birthday, is it? That's what Jo (and much of my friendslist) says.

So my first entry to oxoniensis's Porn Battle might as well be a Harry/Hermione/Snape threesome, eh? (As much drama as pr0n, I'm afraid).

ETA: OMG! It is also the magnificent lillithj's birthday! I dedicate this smutlet to you!

Get your motor running: oxoniensis's Third Porn Battle is off to the races!

xylodemon has just started theadvertiser, a Good Omens fandom newsletter, now in its second week. (Does GO need as many newsletters as HP fandom? Of course not. Did it need one? You betcha.)

From metafandom: rydra_wong has a post looking for lists of Under-Represented Erogenous Zones.

...these are the ficlets I did for oxoniensis's comment-porn-a-palooza last week. Reposting them here to keep my stuff quasi-organized, and also to play a little writer's-worshoppy thing.

Due to the limits of LJ's comment sizes, and MS Word's tendency to lie about number of characters used, one of my ficlets wound up being too long and had to be edited on the fly (since I was down to the wire deadlinewise) right in the comment box. So two versions of it exist, which doesn't happen when I edit in Word as usual.

The question is, which one is better? I know I tend to verbosity. I much prefer Thomas Wolfe to Tom Wolfe and the early chapters of the The Lord of the Rings are my very favorite part. My early writing was all screaming electric purple, a sort of H.P. Lovecraft/Jack Kerouac bastard child with the Southern Gothic taking over like kudzu. So one of the things I love about drabbles and limited-length fic challenges is I have to go against this grain and I learn a lot that way.

One person's already said she likes the longer version better because it's richer and sounds more like me. What do you think?

Sentimental Value
(Good Omens; Crowley/Aziraphale, NC-17. Warnings: D/s like whoa. The prompt word was "collar")

( Original Version (Longer) )

( Version 2, Radio Edit )

The second one was short enough already, and so only one version exists.

For Real
(Lost, Sayid/Sawyer, NC-17. Warnings: BDSM, racial slurs, references to torture, unsurprisingly. The prompt word was "knot")

( Smack! )

Thoughts? What is your natural inclination? Are you drunk on the music of words enough to stagger around vaguely sometimes, or are you a goal-oriented speedfreak? Are you lush and voluptuous, or lean and mean? How much do you struggle with your own style?

It's been a productive time for the little stuff, at least...

Two G-rated Good Omens drabbles for the Snow challenge, here, at go100


And, two just under-the-wire decidedly-NOT-G-rated entries to oxoniensis's Porn Battle Rematch!

One in a fandom I've never written before, go me!

SO nice of her to actually suggest pairings and prompts; these are the suggestions I took:

Good Omens, Crowley/Aziraphale, collar

and

Lost, Sayid/Sawyer, knot

Warning: as the prompts might suggest, both have much, much more than a hint of D/s about them. I was just in that kind of mood.

And huge, homongous thanks to whoever nominated 30 Minutes Over Kandahar for a Multifaceted Award! SO sweet! So unexpected - and on a day when I needed a boost too.
