Where the WiPs Go Gently Into That Good Night

25 people set their WiPs free for 2008 - and everything's tagged in the sidebar.

*dusts hands* There. Now don't we all feel better? See everyone next year!

To be perfectly honest, this was the only snippet here that ever really had a chance, so I'm presenting it DVD commentary style here.

Title: Angels Unawares

Rating: PG-13

Warnings: Violence.

Fandom: Life

Disclaimer: I don't own

Summary: Well, it was going to be a casefic. Then stuff happened and I didn't want to work on it anymore.

I write a lot of comment-fic in Bandom, but I have a folderfull of as yet unfinished WIPS. These are a few snippets that started off strong, but ended weak. They should all be PG-13, as I never really got into the kinky part.

TITLE: The Ghost Road (Even Cowgirls Get the Blues)
CATEGORY: Gen, a side of Ronon/OFC
RATING: Unrated
LENGTH: Nearly 14,000 words
EXCERPT: "And she, Teyla, had to lead her team through it all, to John."
NOTES: Aborted sequel to Your Cowboy Days Are Over and Summerland. Unbetaed.

The Ghost Road.

Title: Carbon Fiber
Fandom: Smallville
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Rating: R-ish?
Author's Note: One of the first stories I started in SV fandom, and one I really wish I'd finished. Clex of the classic type, based off the early seasons. College age Clark spends a day with his boyfriend Lex, Lex's newest sports car, and the secrets he's still trying to keep.

Carbon Fiber

I wrote a continuation of Bourne Supremacy(movieverse) wherein Landy took charge of former "Assets" and their wellbeing. The next story was a college!verse futurefic in High School Musical, based on the idea of Ryan and Chad going to the same school. Then there's a Bones fic about Zack that was simply abandoned. A Heroes story about M3 in a grocery store. Finally, a wee bit of post 9/11 Kormanslash transplanting Johnny Zull(son of interflux) to Mike Webster(i want to go home)'s high school.

All can be found here: http://revelininsanity.livejournal.com/207662.html

Just two AUs, one on werewolves, just a scene between Billy Costigan and Sean Dignam, down at the docks. Unfortunately, it's so AU as to be pointless, although I did enjoy the language and world building. I think it's still worth being read, just to watch the sea monsters play.

The second one is just a snippet, although my sister thinks it could stand on its own. It's a sequel to an AU found in my memories. However, it's amusing, if infinitesimal.

Both can be found here:http://revelininsanity.livejournal.com/207393.html

Title: And Don't Forget
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: McShep
Disclaimer: I'm really not making anything on this, since I can't even finish it.
Rating: There's an f-bomb, and maybe one or two other swear words, but nothing else.
Notes: Inspired by Song for the Dumped by Ben Folds' Five, see if you can catch the lyrics!

John sincerely wished that the doors on Atlantis slammed, because he was just that pissed off.

Since this file was titled 'Patient Form 3', I'm going to assume this is from when I was doing my stupid temp job at the hospital and saving things so people wouldn't immediately see what they were. But I digress!

This fic has, therefore, been sitting on my harddrive for at least two years. It's time to get rid! Never mind that I had completely forgotten it existed!

(No title, but it was going to be Mckay/Sheppard, or possibly Mckay/Sheppard unrequited, who knows?)

Title: A Family Thing
Fandom: SGA
Rating: Not worth stressing over
Pairings: Rodney and ancient tech would be the underlying OTP. The overlying OTP is nonexistent, because this is gen, baby. Oh, yeah!
Notes: ( Commentary under the cut references S4's Outcast, and the fic is based on John's backstory in that episode. )

( A Family Thing )

Title: Maintiens le Droit
Fandom: due South
Characters: Fraser, RayK
Summary: Fraser follows Ray across the line in pursuit of a serial killer.
Ratings: R
Author's Notes: This is the first page of the sequel to my snippet Accessory. I'm posting it for the wip_amnesty weekend. It is likely to remain forever unfinished.

( 400 words of serial-killer case fic )

Okay, so I had nineteen WiPs that I put up today. o.O Too many to want to spam over here with them, so I'll just duplicate the Master Post from my own LJ here:

(Madelyn, if you're not happy with me doing it this way, let me know and I'll be happy to try to work something else out that doesn't involve posting nineteen entries to the comm. Or, you know, if you really want me to make nineteen posts....)

Title: Vertigo
Fandom: The X-Files
Pairing: Mulder/Krycek (Skinner/Krycek in the background)
Rating: G
Word Count: ~4,700 (but a lot of them aren't mine)
Author's Note: Years and years ago, the Mulder/Krycek website The Cube (I'm pretty sure it was The Cube and not its predecessor The M/K Fight Club, but I was very active with both) had a movie challenge, where you were supposed to take a movie of your choice and turn it into an M/K story. I intended to do a version of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, but I didn't have a hope in Hell of meeting the challenge deadline, so I never got very far with it. I think I intended to do a massive edit once I was done, and after I'd made sure that the movie's locations still existed in Mulder's time, but at this stage, the story is written using the actual movie screenplay as a skeleton, which means that a lot of the dialog is taken verbatim from the film. In retrospect, I'd say that me adapting Vertigo is a horrible idea, because I love the original too much - I would never have been able to tamper enough with something that brilliant to make the fic separate and new. I still like the concept, though. Mulder is James Stewart, Krycek is Kim Novak (Come on, you know that's just meant to be. ;)) and Skinner is the old friend/worried husband. Sadly, I killed Scully off in the very first paragraph in order to fuck Mulder's psyche up, for which I feel shame.

(Vertigo - Mulder/Krycek style)

Title: 'refuses to write itself'
Fandom: Due South/Eureka
Rating: one of these days it was supposed to be NC-17 but I didn't get that far
Pairings: Fraser/RayK, Jack/Allison
Notes 1: This was supposed to be a case story which lead Fraser and Ray to Eureka on the trail of -- something.
Notes 2: I officially declare that this won't be finished ever. "Eureka" took a left turn, pairing-wise, for me though, and ... Unbeta'd and only should be read at one's own risk

bye

Title: That SGA/BtVS/Anita Blake Thing
Fandoms Colliding: SGA/BtVS/Anita Blake
Rating: Not worth stressing over
Pairings: Rodney and John’s hair. Really! Okay, not. If I ever manage to write this, it will be McShep
Notes 1: I’ve started and abandoned a few stories in SGA, mostly because the fandom intimidates the hell out of me, but also because I’m having a hard time getting into the characters’ head. I’m trying to get over it, but still, the other two stories I post for wip_amnesty will be SGA (or a crossover of SGA and something else).
Notes 2: This is supposed to be an offshoot of a crossover ‘verse I started developing a few years ago, but it doesn’t work the way I’ve done it (though I think it might if I take a more subtle approach). Meanwhile, I’m tossing it out to you to read and point and laugh -- or possibly offer suggestions. I’m good either way.

Title: (tentatively) Clean Slate
Rating: PG
Pairing: Derek/Addison
Summary: Derek gets amnesia. (Yes, it's clichefic. Sue me.)
Disclaimer: I do not own. Do not sue.

oh, for the days when we were still a couple, and you weren't an asshole.

Back in June of 2007,wolfshark encouraged me to write porn helped me grow as a writer. However, I was scared (took me an hour to write one sentence) so she took me in hand and we started writing back and forth. This was a great bit of labor for her because she had to write *dramatic pause* het, for which I greatly appreciate her and can do nothing but extol her virtues. This is the result of our efforts and should rightly be titled "3 guys, a girl, and some lube."

Title: WIP Amnesty SGA OT4
Fandom: SGA
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Teyla Emmagen/Ronon Dex/John Sheppard/Rodney McKay/
3106 words from wolfshark and bipagan Stargate Atlantis OT4 pure NC-17 smut

Title: Family Business
Summary: Methos and Triona take care of some family business with Spock on the way to the Babel Conference.
Fandoms: Highlander, Classic Star Trek.
Characters: Methos, Spock, Captain Kirk, OFC.
Rating: PG13

This is a story I started back in the winter of 2007 and somewhere along the way, it got lost in the shuffle. Which is too bad, since the reason I started this was to have the chance to write Sarek and Amanda again, and never made it that far.

On board the Starship Enterprise...

Title: Rodney as Vera Wang
summary: um, Rodney as a Vera Wang in the fashion world. Cameos of Sg1 and Atlantis people...
rating: pg13 ish
notes: 1996 words...
genre: crackfic, humor

Thanks to SVMadelyn for suggesting this...albatross off of my neck! Whee!

(Follow the skinny model~)

I'm taking the opportunity to do a massive clean-out this weekend, so I will be putting a lot of old odds and ends up over the next few days. Starting with this thing:

Title: (?)
Fandoms: Harry Potter/The X-Files
Pairings: Harry/Draco, Mulder/Krycek
Rating: *squints* PG-13?
Word count: ~1,900
Author's Note: A not quite finished scene from the middle of a story I never actually wrote. I think it stands well on its own, though, and I quite like it. You know all those post-war HP fics where Draco is punished for his involvement with Voldemort by being stripped of his magic and somehow - in the world of fanfiction this is a completely natural progression of events, yo! - ends up as some kind of sex worker? Yeah, this is one of those. Krycek is working as a hitman for hire, Draco is a presumptive client. Krycek has just watched Draco's stage performance in the sex club where he works, and now he has an appointment with him in his dressing room.

("His name is Harry Potter," Malfoy says. "I want you to kill him.")
