Okay:

My very favorite part of Penny Dreadful ... Eva Green's as Miss Vanessa Ives. Love.

she'll eat you alive by Chemical Attraction (Vanessa Ives)



I love the love/hate, co-dependency that exists between Vanessa and Malcolm, but f course, if Dorian/Vanessa is more your cup of tea ... have at ...

Every New Year's it seems I wind up back at Livejournal, even though it's once in a blue moon that I post anymore. Funny, considering how much I lived on LJ back in ye olden days.

With all the nostalgia and looking back and reviewing that happens this time of year, I guess it does make sense that I end up back here because whatever small fannish activity that I still indulge in happens to some small degree, here.

That said, I totally miss fandom and the community and the discussions. I wish I could latch onto another fandom with the same vigor and fervour that I did the Joss-verse, but it just doesn't seem to pan out. Although, I am just as rabid in some respects (see my love for The Walking Dead and how I might not be watching the last half of season 5 on account of Beth).

Now, I wrote zero fic in 2013, much to my dismay. But 2014 saw a little bit happening. Largely in fandoms other than the Joss-verse. That moment when the lightening flashed and I was all about Buffy and Angel have gone the way of the Tasmanian tiger. That's okay, I suppose. I did write an original collection of shorts in 2013. It's free now everywhere if anyone wants to download it. All This and Love, available at most e-retailers near you. /shameless plug

Anyway, my year in fic:

to memory now recalled | The Walking Dead thru 4.8: too far gone | Carl | PG | anyone or everyone, those who are dead are not dead, they're just living in my head and since I fell for that spell, I am living there as well.

sugar glass | Hunger Games: Mockingjay (book) | Finnick/Katniss | G | you are terrifying / and strange and beautiful / something not everyone knows how to love.

kiss me, and you will see how important I am | The Walking Dead thru 4.12: Still | Daryl/Beth | PG | Sorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.

Cake | Angel AU thru 3.11: Birthday | Cordelia, Buffy/Angel | PG, mostly for themes | "To lose your heart is not a path for the faint and fainting." Here is where the story changes: Cordelia.

Happy Xmas (War is Over) | BtVS post-Chosen AU | Dawn/Spike | NC-17 | "Against the tide we struggle with the skin we're in." Dawn, after.

unfinished kita holiday fic | AtS | Angel/Connor | G | "Unfinished fic, annexed.

The Dandelion Seed (Unfinished and Annexed Fic) | BtVS/Wicked/The Wizard of Oz | Gen | PG-13 for themes | "Was she to be taken seriously, or was she merely a blow-away dandelion seed, caught on the wrong side of the wind?"

My favorite story this year (my own): There's a tie between sugar glass and kiss me, and you will see how important I am.

My best story this year: That's hard because I don't take as much care as I used to and I don't get things beta'd, so it's all haphazard. Probably sugar glass.

My favorite line of this year: Totally don't have one. Maybe ... "When Dawn comes, she smells of Buffy." for all the ways that it's totally fucked up.

Most fun story: Don't write those. Never did. So, BAU.

Sexiest story: sugar glass because there's a broken comfort and sensuality, I think, between Finnick and Katniss.

Story with single sexiest moment: sugar glass. I really like how Katniss can feel the pull of Finnick's smile against her cheek and the whole body chair thing (not as creepy-weird as that sentence probably sounds).

"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story: Ha! Happy Xmas (War is Over). I cut most of the explicitly incest-y bits, but it's definitely not rainbows and sunshine over there.

Fic that shifted my perceptions of the characters: to memory now recalled and kiss me, and you will see how important I am.

Biggest disappointment: Happy Xmas (War is Over). It's just raw and I will never be able to fix it. Not to mention I'm not really interested in trying to.

Hardest story to write: Happy Xmas (War is Over) which was mostly written years ago, but which I finally tacked an ending to and released into the wild.

Easiest story to write: kiss me, and see how important I am

Most unintentionally telling story: I never know what that MEANS!

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2014: The Walking Dead

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?: Not especially. Trying to finish a longer a narrative piece, maybe? Happy Xmas (War is Over) was difficult partially because of it's length. I always have a hard time with longer pieces and I still don't know how to change or fix that.

Okay, so, Happy New Year, my darlings. I hope 2015 is better than you hope for. And as Brad Paisley apparently once said, 'Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.'

Today I have been leisurely clearing off my hard drive. Lo! I have found some interesting fragments of things. This one is from 2012 and I don't even remember where it was going or what it was supposed to do. Somehow, I got it into my head to write holiday fic for [livejournal.com profile] kita0610. I have no clue what this was supposed to be about. It was intended for Kita, so I imagine there was going to slash and incest and angst. Angel would be broody and Connor would be pretty and have a very red mouth. I don't know. Who can guess at this point. Make of it what you will. Here it is, annexed, with all of its hoary errors, for your pleasure.

I have no clue ...

AtS. Angel/Connor (that never made it).


You remember your past in the color of calm, summer skies until he blinks and you remember he isn't a baby anymore. He is hell born or close enough that a few weeks of Cordelia singing off-key lullabies beneath her breath can't make a difference. There is rage lurking in the tight pout of his red mouth.

Pucker up for daddy, boy. In your own way, you too, are hell born.
