Broken record, much?

So, I think I've gotten my

femslash08 fic in somewhat decent shape...I think. Hope. Maybe?

Would anyone ~~be interested~~ mind taking a look at it for me before Monday rolls around?

Entry tags:

I'm so screwed.

I've got nothin' for this

femslash08 fic that I'm supposed to be writing. There were two possibilities that I could managed...probably, and one of those I wouldn't feel comfortable writing the pairing because of lack of familiarity with one of the characters. The other pairing is one that I don't write frequently, but I do comfortably write from time to time.

I've gotten some anonymous input from the person that I'm writing for that I really appreciate, but I'm still kinda stumped.

I don't really have any plot bunnies brewing in the back of my mind, and I'm not even sure of the person's spoiler status. The options are killing me. My brain is just one giant blank.

*sigh*

Must. Write. Something. Anything.

[Hollows Fic] Just Stay With Me - Part Two

Title: Just Stay With Me
Fandom: The Hollows aka Kim Harrison 'verse
Characters: Rachel Morgan, Ivy Tamwood, Robbie Morgan, Al, Minias
Category: Romance
Genre: Slash
Rating: PG
Summary: Robbie Morgan shows up on his sister's doorstep one day without warning. Can what Rachel and Ivy have made for themselves stand against it?
Beta:

queen_bellatrix[Unknown site tag] was so kind as to beta this for me and point out my myriad errors and goofs. Anything that remains is totally on me.
Author's Note: I read Two Ghosts For Sister Rachel and got a bunny for this story with Robbie. He was...not how I was expecting Rachel's brother to be, but I hope I nailed his character. It was a really awesome short story that I'd definitely recommend reading for an excellent look at what Rachel's earlier years were like for her. It explains a lot.
Spoilers: Spoilers for The Outlaw Demon Wails and Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel, the short story in Holidays Are Hell.

Epic Sigh

I am so not finishing my Epic Proportions fic by the deadline. I haven't worked on it in over a month and March is not looking so good.

*sigh*

I don't often do this...

...but, I thought I'd just mention it today.

Over on the Dark Lords Council I'm hosting Six Senses Fic challenge lasting from now until March 5th. You can go here for details if you're interested. It's a writing challenge open to any fandom or original fiction, and sometimes the results are pretty cool.

It's also a very nice, friendly place with lots of cool people to post with. So from me, to you, I invite you to come check it out and maybe give it a shot.

What I should be - but am not - writing now

fanfic100 is an ongoing thing for me. At this point, I think I only have like twenty fics left to write, but I'd still like to finish it up some time in the first half of this year. I've only had this going for close to two years now. I seem to be putting it off at the moment to write other stuff.
I have about 6,000 words of my Epic Proportions fic written out of about 20,000, but I seem to be stalled on that for now. I just can't seem to get back into the groove of writing that. At least I have until April to finish it, but I need to start now because, yikes!
Of course, I'm also writing a Kate/Ziva fic for the ncis_femslash ficathon, which is proving to be a challenge. I've been wanting to write a Kate/Ziva fic for a while now but I'm having more problems than I thought not getting it all bogged down in "Kate's alive" issues, and I'm freaky out muchly about just writing Kate, because it's been literal years since I've watched any episodes that she was in and I'm not sure how good of a grip that I have on the character. March 1st.
And today I signed up for femme_fic's ficathon. Which sounds like a lot of fun and I'm hoping that I get a prompt that'll get my brain going again. I really like ficathon's generally because while I stress about the deadline and all that, I've also written some of the fics that I like the most and am proudest of for them. So...yeah. Thank goodness, this isn't due until the end of March.
There's also the little matter of the "Thirty-One Slices" for passion_perfect in March when NCIS will be the highlighted fandom of the month. I'm hoping that other folks will volunteer to write some of them, but I really have to get started writing, something, anything like really soon.

Written for:

sonia_hugo
Archive: Only ralst has permission. Ask me if you want it.

Warnings/Spoilers: Through Hiatus I & II and if you really work for it maybe Shalom.
Genre: Gen
Pairings: None to speak of.
Word Count: 4,716
Disclaimer: I do not own anything and am not getting paid
Prompt: I'd like to read a story in which Ziva calls Gibbs up on the favor he owes her. I want it to follow canon and I really don't want any Gibbs/Ziva romance. Including the other characters (especially Tony) would be appreciated and I love stories with a bit of humor and banter in them
Author's Note: This story is very, very late from the general estimate that I gave Rinkle on when it would be done. For that I apologize very much to sonia_hugo. I do hope you enjoy this.

Prompt: Some sweet Sydney/Rachel moments. Or bittersweet. Either will
do. :)
Rating: R, for a smidge of nudity
Spoilers: A few for the series finale.

( Dixon has a penchant for sending her on missions where Rachel is somehow involved. Since she takes on only one or two missions a year now that she’s officially retired and hiding out, it’s really only noticeable to her. )
