Last Chance for a Good Cause!

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 19:46:31 GMT

help_pakistan is an auction community designed to help out victims of the recent flood disaster in Pakistan, much like help_haiti and gulf_aid_now. Their current auction goes until August 29th at 1 PM EST, so if you're interested in bidding, the time is going fast! I didn't offer for this one due to lack of time, but I am planning to bid on an auction tomorrow if it doesn't climb out of my price range by then.

glymr asked for some help pimping out this worthy cause and her offer, so for anyone who's interested, her offer can be found here. It's for a 1,000 word fic, current bid is $10. In addition, the awesome oroburos69 has put together a link of all DC fandom-related offers here. I've got my eye on one!

Fandom has done some great things in situations like this, so I'm putting this out there just in case it finds someone who sees an offer that gets their attention. :)

Challenge Pimp!

Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:23:06 GMT

Up for a challenge?

Remix Duello

This is a new take on Remix, where instead of the remixer choosing any of your fics, you get to assign them a specific fic you want remixed. Of course, that means you get one fic to remix as well, so it's definitely not for everyone.

However, the minimum word count is only 500 words, so it's not a huge requirement. I signed up out of curiosity, and volunteered to write DC and Marvel. I don't know how many other participants for those fandoms there are going to be, though, so I figured I'd post this on the off chance anyone here wanted to participate.

The schedule is as follows:

Signup closes:
Sun 29 Aug 2010 11:45PM EDT

Assignments due:
Sun 10 Oct 2010 11:45PM EDT

Works revealed:
Sun 24 Oct 2010 09:00AM EDT

If you think there's any chance you'd be interested in participating, please check it out. Hopefully we'll be able to create a little circle of DC/Marvel writers, so it's easier to create matches. :)

The Gathering - Update!

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 13:04:32 GMT

A few months ago, I posted here about the project I was involved in, The Gathering. It's an independent comic book anthology with a bunch of my friends from a comic book message board. I've got a two page story in it, and a future volume will have a seven-page story by me!

Well, it's open for pre-orders here!

http://thegatheringcomic.blogspot.com/

$3 a copy, by paypal. I know not everyone may be able to buy, but if you can, it would be really appreciated. :)

Our editor is also doing a fund-raising thing for future volumes here. Again, no expectations, but there are some pretty cool incentives for donations if you participate, including signed copies, sketches, etc.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1429812861/gathering-an-indie-comic-book-anthology

Anyway, that's my promotion thing for this morning. I really hope everyone who buys the book enjoys it - there's some great stories in there besides mine. I'm really proud to have been a part of this. :)

Stolen from lady_sarai. Because I can. :p

Name any story I've written, and any character in them, canon or OC (I think I've written all of one OC ever). I'll tell you three things about that character which I didn't put in the story.

The Gathering

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 02:26:40 GMT

Okay, this isn't something I've talked much about on here, because I was making sure that everything came together, both for me and for the book as a whole before I started hyping it, but it looks like it's a go!

A few months ago, some friends of mine and I from a board I belong to started putting together a comic book. It's a themed anthology (the theme for this edition is "hope"), and each of us were paired with an artist from the board and created two-page stories. It's currently being put together by our ridiculously awesome editor, Andrew Goletz, and should be available for sale relatively soon! Yours truly has contributed a story focusing on original superheroes, and I'll let everyone know when it hits the stands, in case anyone wants to get a look at my first published comic book work! *bounces*

The website can be found here. Right now, there's only one story up (not mine), but trust me when I say that I've read a couple of the scripts going into this, and it's an amazing collection of talent. The actual anthology will have superhero, slice of life, and all genres of storytelling. This is something I'm really proud of, and my two pages were brought to life by a fantastic artist.

I'll be updating more as it becomes available!

One More Meme!

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:33:24 GMT

A quick one while I fic. :D

Ask 1-3 questions from any of the characters that show up in any of my fics and they (meaning I) will answer.

Ship Meme

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 16:45:10 GMT

Comment with a pairing that I ship and I'll tell you:

1. When I started shipping them
2. What I think their challenge is
3. What makes me happy about them
4. What makes me sad about them
5. What moment I wish had never happened
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other
7. My happily ever after for them

If a pairing is in my tags, or if I've written a commentfic drabble for it, it should be fine.

Cool meme

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 22:43:46 GMT

*should really be working on fics, but...* XD

Stolen from glymr

Tell me about a story I never wrote, (eg, "The one where Clark from the DC Animated-verse meets Kon-El from the comics") and I'll write you a snippet from it.

Snippets will be 100-500 words, unless I go nuts.

Rules:
1. One per customer.
2. As usual, het, slash, femmeslash, gen requests are all okay.
3. Your request should begin: "The one where..."
4. You all know what I'm capable of by now. DC and Marvel comicverses are my strong suit, but if I've written something for you before, it'll probably be okay. :)

Meme Break

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:13:36 GMT

While I work on fic projects, a quick meme.

1. I write down a list of 15 characters and keep them secret from you for now.

2. You choose however many of those you like and ask me a question about them. Examples: "What happens when 5 and 9 are forced to take care of a baby?" or "1, 4, and 8 walk into a bar. What happens next?" or "What does 3 do when s/he finds out that 10 is pregnant with 7's child?" You get the idea. :D

3. I tell you about these scenarios!

13 of the 15 on the list wound up being female characters. ^^

Fic: Sister Act (Jennifer Pierce, Anissa/Grace, Courtney/Maxine)

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:37:06 GMT

Title: Sister Act
Fandom: DC Universe
Characters: Jennifer Pierce, Anissa Pierce, Grace Choi, Courtney Whitmore/Maxine Hunkel, Alan Scott, Ted Grant.
Rating: PG
Words: 2286
Summary: Living up to an older sibling is never easy. Especially not when that sibling kicks this much ass.
Author's Notes: Written for isilweth for help_haiti. I apologize that it's a little late, but I wound up getting a LOT of bids. _@ This doesn't deal with most of everything going on with the Outsiders in recent times. JSA is current to around the end of Johns' run, and ignores anything in the Willingham/Sturges books.

Fic: Long Time Gone (Lian Harper, Dick/Roy)

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:23:19 GMT

Title: Long Time Gone
Fandom: DC Universe
Characters: Lian Harper, Dick Grayson/Roy Harper
Rating: PG-13
Words: 1134
Summary: Lian's back. It's one year later, and everything has changed.
Author's Notes: Spoilers for JL: A Cry for Justice. More of a fix-it than a retcon. This is my new canon, and any attempts to contradict this will be met by biting.
