Once again, I've gone and changed my DCBB idea. It's still pretty vague, but the idea sketch version of it is, "college AU; Omega!Misha is a dom and chubby!Alpha!Jensen is a sub; discuss."

content warnings for: some discussion of consensual BDSM-related things, some discussion of linguistic cissexism.

( it was supposed to be you on that rollercoaster, Richard. it was supposed to be YOU.Collapse )

So, there was some talk on tumblr today about how there's a lack of Omega!Dean fic coming out of the Dean/Cas fandom, and apparently, I've taken it upon myself to rectify that somehow.

I don't entirely know what I'm doing with these prompt tables yet, but apparently, it involves a prep school/boarding school AU, alpha!Cas being ostensibly upstanding and jocky but secretly all kinds of rebellious (though he's probably more trying rebellion on for size rather than fully committing to it like Anna, straddling the line between Anna's, "he was always a good little soldier, did anything under orders" and Naomi's, "you've never done what you were told, not completely"), angst, UST, and all that happy crap.

I think I'll name this plot tribble Cady. Cady the Plot Tribble. Maybe I should really work on a title, though, so I can refer to this 'verse as something other than, "Cady." Since there won't actually be a character named Cady and I can't just include some ridiculous author's note about my penchant for referring to fic bunnies as plot tribbles and naming them as though they're actual pets.

If you can think of a ship, i will answer these questions for them:

who cooks normally?:
how often do they fight?:
what do they do when they’re away from each other?:
nicknames for each other?:
who is more likely to pay for dinner?:
who steals the covers at night?:
what would they get each other for gifts?:
who remembers things?:
who cusses more?:
what would they do if the other one was hurt?:
who kissed who first?:
who made the first move?:
who started the relationship?:
who is the big spoon/little spoon:
what is their favorite non-sexual activity:
who uses all the hot water in the morning:
what they order from take out:
what is the most trivial thing they fight over:
who does most of the cleaning:
what has a season pass in their DVR:
who controls the netflix queue:
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working:
who leaves their stuff around:
who remembers to buy the milk:
who remembers anniversaries:
what was their first kiss like:
where were they their first time having sex:
who’s louder:
who wakes up first:
if they had to choose a third+ person to include who would it be:
their general feelings on sex in the relationship:
how careful are they about using protection:

You can give me a general pairing (eg "Charles/Erik"), a pairing specific to a verse of mine (eg Triwizard!Dean/Cas), or a specific AU setup (like, ballet dancer!Dean/photographer!Cas or something).

In celebration of finishing my final paper for my feminist thought class and only having to do one more thing for the semester, a meme that popped up on my friends page. Nabbed from snickfic, though… because I love the sound of my own voice (or rather, because I love talking into the Inter-void), I did thoughts on 25 of my most popular fics, instead of thoughts about 10 of them.

( this is the part with a table comparing all my fics' statistics as per AO3.Collapse )

( this is the part where I talk about all the fics.Collapse )

School sucks, finals suck, papers suck.

That's it, that's the post.

*skulks back to writing 18 to 20 pages about queerbaiting and why it sucks.*

The, "post the first and last lines of your 21 most recent fics" meme, most recently nabbed from ghostyouknow27. There are two fics on here that I didn't know whether to include or not because they're WIPs, but I included them anyway because hey, why not. There are also a few "fics" from my AO3 that I skipped over and didn't include, on the grounds that they're not really fics, they're poems, they just happen to exist in a fannish context?

Anyway. There's a mix of SPN, SPN RPF, Teen Wolf, Doctor Who, Star Trek (TOS), Community, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in here and I think the worst NSFW-ness that you'll find is probably the Danny/Jackson BDSM AU.

21 Last Lines

Things I should be doing: reading for my feminist thought midterm. reading for my feminist thought final paper, or maybe outlining it or something like that. reading for my health class final paper and/or starting the work on said paper because even if it's not demanding in terms of the actual writing required, I only have the books until April 4th, pending renewing them at the library before class on that day. the dishes or something productive in the outernet, I don't know. working on the next '22 Weeks Is A Long Time' chapter because it's so close to being done that I can almost taste it (the fic overall, not the chapter itself; the chapter itself has one scene out of four written). working on my exchange meme fic for chubwinchesters because it's due on April 14th, oops. writing something or other that's, like, vaguely productive and not just entirely masturbatory (i.e., something that's not a journal entry showing off what I'm doing instead of the work that I should be doing).

Things I am doing: preliminary thought work for a paper about chubby!Dean fanfiction, one which I would ideally like to propose first as a conference paper (initially on the theory of what goes on in chubby!Dean fanfiction, from a fandom studies perspective, i.e. what's being revised or transformed or challenged in the fanfiction), and then maybe as a praxis paper for publication in the Transformative Works And Cultures (TWC—the academic journal run by the OTW, the Organization of Transformative Works, otherwise known as the lovely folks behind the AO3). thinking about rereading a couple of my favorite chubby!Dean fics and taking notes on them, maybe printing them out so I can scribble notes in the margins (but I don't know about this, because one is 25k and the other is about 8-10k spread out over a few different connected stories). looking at some research about anti-fat biases in healthcare and body image discussions, but only casually. poking at sending someone a PM.

Basically, I want to take two of my favorite fics and write about them as the authors' negotiations with body image issues and anti-fat bias, and about how they use Dean Winchester (and Castiel, in one case) as a locus for body positive affirmations, which is a fancy way of saying, "I want to write about how they make Dean Winchester fat and don't treat it like a bad thing, and what this means in a social context."

3/20: shit I have to come up with a response essay and I haven’t finished the reading, shit (almost done yay).
3/21: health class book reports (both done and printed off already thankfully).
3/26: feminist thought midterm essays.
4/2: feminist thought response essay.
4/4: health class journal assignment. renew books at library before class.
4/9: feminist thought study circle notes.
4/14: exchange meme fic.
4/16: feminist thought response essay.
4/18: health class final paper.
4/23: feminist thought final paper.
4/25: health class presentation

Pick questions off the list to ask me.

1. Which is your favorite of the fics you've written for X fandom?

2. Favorite piece overall?

3. Which was the hardest to write, in terms of plot?

4. Which has the most “you” in it, however you'd define that?

5. What is an image/set of images that you're particularly proud of?

6. Idea that you always wanted to write but could never make work?

7. Least favorite plot point/chapter/moment?

8. Favorite plot point/chapter/moment?

9. Favorite character to write?

10. Favorite line or lines of dialogue that you’ve written

11. If I’m showing off just one of your pieces to someone, which one should it be?

12. What WIPs do you have going now? Are you excited about them?


13. Are there any things that might have happened in any of your stories, but you changed them at the last minute? (So-and-so dies, they don’t actually kiss, main character has long extended ballet-based dream sequence, etc.)


14. Would you want to write canon for any of your fandoms (like being hired by a showrunner to do an episode)? Which one?

15. Does font matter to you when you’re writing a draft?

16. Three favorite comments ever received on fanfic.

17. Any mean comments? How’d you deal with it? Who laid the smackdown?

18. If you could go back and revise one of your older stories, which would it be?

19. Do you make up scenes at work/on the bus/at the gym? Who are the characters that pop up the most? Do you write them down?

20. Go nuts, and talk about writing. Or write me a little ficlet-whatsit using a character/image/line I shall now specify.

The new journal entry page is ugly and predominantly useless.

The new profile page is also ugly and predominantly useless, not to mention poorly organized.

Livejournal, why the fuck do you keep changing things without including a permanent opt-out option?

Better question: Livejournal, why the fuck do you keep changing things when they aren't broken and thus don't need fixing?

So, I'm getting a table for 52_challenge, because I can't resist the siren call of new prompt tables.

I'm getting it as a multifandom claim, with an unofficial personal test to write as many of these about lady characters and/or femslash pairings and/or trans*/non-binary interpretations of the characters as I possibly can.

Considering I have no idea where to even start (okay, I have some idea, but it's mostly, "Charlie Bradbury/Becky Rosen should totally get the, 'lasagna and cheesecake' prompt, yes/yes? now what to do with it, I haven't the slightest idea, but it'll be GOOD"), suggestions and the like are more than welcome. ♥

( no, seriously, I can't resist prompt tables, it's kind of a problem.Collapse )

Nabbed from wutendeskind, though with some alterations made so the list of tropes would suit me better.

Pick a trope from this list and provide a fandom and/or pairing (here's a convenient list of stuff I like writing) and I'll tell you something about the story I'd write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write) (I'll probably write a drabble/ficlet. Probably.)

1. stuck in an elevator.
2. snowed in/locked in.
3. alpha/beta/omega and/or BDSM AU.
4. creature!fic*.
5. rule 63/sex or gender-swap**.
6. sharing a bed.
7. coffee shop AU.
8. wing!fic.
9. truth or dare.
10. band AU (as in, "they are in a band").
11. curtain fic.
12. High School / College AU.
13. AU not-otherwise-specified (your choice, though I reserve the right to veto historical AUs if I know nothing about the period in history you're asking for).

( I love how my memes have freaking footnotes on them.Collapse )

By way of a getting to know you exercise, since I've added some new folks, I'm stealing a few old questions from fannish5. And today's question, besides.

Five first fictional characters you had a crush on.

• Darth Vader.
• Tenoh Haruka/Sailor Uranus.
• Remus Lupin.
• Chiba Mamoru/Tuxedo Mask.
• Miss Piggy.

( and more of them.Collapse )

Today hasn't actually been particularly happy or unhappy.

Like, it's been sort of frustrating because I've been on tumblr a lot and TUMBLR CHANGED THINGS and I don't like it when tumblr changes things.

But you know why today is super happy? Because tw_ladies is a thing that exists now, that's why.

It's a Teen Wolf femslash comm and I'm so happy, I could just start crying.

So. Things I started doing today instead of working on my big bang, because I decided to be a magpie instead: writing some completely nonsense fic where Scott ships Dean/Cas, Derek ships Wincest, and eventually, they're going to meet at a Supernatural convention after months of arguing on the Internet.

…but first, they're going to argue on the Internet, because I think that's kind of fun.

( I really have no idea what the Hell this thinks it is when it's at home.Collapse )
