 I've decided to try and start using DW more, and will be sharing an appropriate fic for every day of the month.  Appropriate = spooky.

 Starting with one of my takes on the Room for One More Urban Legend, I present Invitation for One.

 Enjoy!

First, let me just apologize for how late this is!  I'm very pregnant and trying to stay ahead of my to-do list (and not succeding)!  If you've already started on something, keep rolling with it and I know I will love it!

General preferences on fanfic are here.

General preferences on tropes:

While I have Canon Compliant and Canon Divergent both marked, I’d prefer to avoid AUs with different settings (i.e coffee shop/high school/new time period).  I’m totally down with what-if though! 

For the sexier prompts, I’m okay with light kink (think handcuffs, blindfolds, restraints but not full on D/s).  Fade to black or go all the way…

A few general notes about tropes and why I like them - not all covered because this letter is already forever long.

Redemption Arcs – People can change.  It shouldn’t be easy, and the bad done in the past can’t be ignored.  Gajeel and Levy is a good example of this, IMO (although too much of it happens offscreen).

Size Difference – Kissing is hard when you have a big height difference.  Show me how you work around it.  Maybe straddling each other or using convenient walls?

Can’t find privacy – Some people just can’t get out of their friends’ business.  I enjoy this both when it is deliberate and when it’s not intended (and the friends are oblivious)

Drunk admissions/shenanigans – Entertain me.  Please don’t go to dubcon or noncon land.

Captured together – Goes along with several, including handcuffs.  May also be a good confession time.  See also trapped, snowed in, etc.

Sexual Teasing is Turnabout – Goes nicely with can’t find privacy, good whether others notice or not.

Sparring leads to sex – ooh let’s get physical. 

Lust potion – have fun.  Lots of fun.

Sharing a Bed – Turns to More – I’m all over this one.  Whether they have to snuggle to stay warm, or one sleeper migrates across the bed to the other, or one wakes up to do the study their loved one thing…I’m on board.  Bed can also be pretty loosely applied.

Dimension Travel - Characters in a Relationship Play Matchmaker for Alternate Universe Selves - This one seems like it could be a lot of fun.

Fight for the Right to Mate - Pon farr anyone?  This seems like something the dragon slayers would have developed...

Arranged Marriage - Must Produce an Heir - I'm good with them being friendly to start with, or with one of them pining for the other.

Quirky Miniboss Squad (TV Tropes) - I love to play up this dynamic.

Family Feels - Found Family - The family you make is everything - why do we pick the people we pick?

In Denial - He's Not My Boyfriend - especially when they do argue like an old married couple (Elfman and Ever, looking at you), this one cracks me up.

Can't Stop Thinking About It - A Accidentally Sees B Naked - Feel free to rehash the details in, well, detail.  Swimming, showers, changing, situations you weren't expecting...

Hurt/Comfort – Nightmares - I like the nightmares themselves as well as the reactions to the nightmares.

Sudden Realization - Villian exploits pair's feelings - I'm a sucker for this one, and you can combine it with the in denial one.  If you want to, play it straight or go for the humor factor!

Big Damn Hero - I'd prefer they find a way to be big damn heroes without a big damn sacrifice.

Dimension Travel - Trying to Find a Timeline That's Not Doomed - Ultimately, I'd like to end with them finding one, but feel free to pump up the angst in the middle!

Dimension Travel - Meets Another Version of Self - I really like this one, especially when there's multiple canons to choose from.

Captivity - Surrender to enemy in exchange for the other's safety - Angst if you please, love to see this one from both sides, or from the captor's POV.

Curses - Fairy-tale curses broken by true love's kiss - Feel free to adopt a fairy tale style for this one.

Secret Relationship - First Time In Public As A Couple, Assumed to be a fling but prove themselves deeply in love - I enjoy seeing both of these from an outsider POV.

Voyeurism - Accidental - But they can't stop watching...

Enemies to Lovers- Pretty self-explanatory, having a few suspicious people around helps as well.

Redemption - Heel-Face Turn (Villains to Heroes) - This one always benefits from people who just aren't ready to buy it without a Big Damn Hero moment.

Will They or Won't They? (TV Tropes) - They will, they just need a little help...

Betrayal - Fake Defector (TV Tropes) - I want to know the why, and yes, suspicious people make this trope work.

Enemies Forced To Work Together - Against a Common Enemy - They might have to trust each other a little, but they don't have to like it...until they do.  Love it when they start to discover what they have in common!

Ghosts & Hauntings - vanishing hitchhiker - I love this element!

 I also took part in the blind exchange on KAEX for Keith/Allura old-school Voltron fans.  The story was posted in 2017.

 My entry was A Princess Can Dream. Sweet and fluffy engagement ball story.

 This work brings my AO3 total works to 251.

desertvixen: (Default)

 The end of the year, of course, brings Yuletide - this was my ninth year of participation.

  My assigned fic was Hastings on the Nile, an AU for Death on the Nile to include the good captain.  Fun to write!

 Then I went a-pinch hitting!

 1. Madam President - My recipient wanted a story about President Hillary Rodham and her wife.  Domestic fluff ensued.
 2. Not Just History - SW Legends, Rogue Squadron-focused.  I did enjoy the whole museum arc in the books.
 3. Ranger's Responsibility - Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon (DDC) - Lightly Hank/Sheila, but more about Hank dealing with the Dragon's Graveyard episode.
 4. Coming Home, Coming Out - Baby-Sitters Club.  Claudia comes home from college with a secret.  This seemed to be the biggest hit this year, and it made me stretch a little.
 5. The Only Reward for Good Work - G.I. Joe cartoon.  You all know what the reward for good work is...

 And I did one Madness Drabble.  It was a hectic holiday season.

 1. A Nice Quiet Visit - Murder She Wrote.  Jessica visits Grady and nothing happens.

desertvixen: (Default)

First off, my deepest apologies for not getting this done until now!  We've been moving and finding all the issues with our new-to-us house plus work and crud...

But whatever you write me, I will love it!  So have fun!  Feel free to turn up the heat on any of the romantic pairings.

I've been doing Chocolate Box for 2 years, and you'll find my previous letters on my journal.

Here we go...

My Requests... )

 

desertvixen: (deadline)

 So, apparently I haven't written about my stories since last Yuletide... This will be a long one.

 For Crossovering 2017, I wrote a Wonder Woman/Fantastic Beasts crossover, Consequences of War.  Mildly annoyed because the recipient never bothered to comment on it.

 For Darkest Night 2017 I did 2 stories.  One was a ST TOS story focusing on McCoy and Spock dealing with the Mirror, Mirror episode, called He Walks in Dreams.  The second one was based on Sophocles' Antigone, and is called To Please The Dead.  In keeping with the challenge, it is dark and features rape/non-con elements and major character death.

 I did two for Fandom Giftbox 2017 (excellent low-stress exchange much like Fandom Stocking). 
 She Also Serves focuses on Uhura duirng ST III.
 Sending His Love Home deals with Penric and increasing separation from his family.

 For GenEx 2017 I did 2 stories.
 My assignment was Room to Grow, a Hill Street Blues fic featuring Frank and Faye Furillo.
 I also did an Aral & Miles fic called Fathers and Sons about Miles getting swimming lessons pre-reconcilation with Piotr.   

 Unconventional Courtship 2017 was not an exchange, but an assignment.  The idea is to write an AU based on a romance novel blurb.  I decided to combine Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys with Paula Marshall's The Wolfe's Mate.  The story is Right Dress, Wrong Girl

 For Alternate Universe Exchange 2017, I did Duel at Troy, which set various Trojan War characters at a Regency House party (the worst!  it's gone on forever...) focused on Achilles and Penthesilea.  One of my more comic stories.

 For The Exchange at Fic Corner 2017, I did two stories.  My assignment was a Cherry Ames story, Cherry Ames Returns to Spencer, that focuses on Cherry and a few friends becoming instructors.  My pinch hit was a Westing Game story, Master of the Game, focused on Sam Westing.

 For Rare Pair Fest 2017, I did two stories.  My assignment was My Love Gone to War, an Anne of Green Gables story focused on Jem/Faith set during Rilla of Ingleside.  I also did Love Turned to Hate, a Clytemnestra/Agamemnon piece about how the relationship might have soured.

 For Not Prime Time 2017, I did 2 stories.  My assignment was The Message, a Rogue One AU in which Lyra Lives!  And she is not pleased.  I also did a pinch hit called Third Time's The Charm, which is Ivan-centric.

 I did a few for Multifandom Drabble 2017.
 Magic is Jacob/Queenie from Fantastic Beasts and provides a sweet moment.
 Fly Free and Not Again are also Fantastic Beasts and deal with Newt and some of his creatures.

 For Night on Fic Mountain, I did a G.I. Joe cartoon story that's different from my usual, because it focuses on Falcon, called Playing Games, plus bonus 80s references.

 For All in the Family, I did a story focused on Newt Scamander and Luna Lovegood (since she is married to his grandson) called Finding Friends...and Family.  It also got translated into Russian!.  Then I did a pinch hit for G.I. Joe cartoon called Brotherhood and a snippet called Not Alone, both focused on Duke and Falcon.

 For Jukebox 2017, I did It's Just Our Style, based on Style by Taylor Swift.

 For Once Upon a Fic 2017, I did Fateful Meeting, an Odysseus/Penelope fanfic set during the "suitors besieging Tyndareus" stage.  I also did a Little Red Riding Hood take called To Walk in the Woods, featuring a Huntswoman.
 
 I did several for May The Fourth Be With You 2017.  One is Training Value, in which Wedge and Luke have some fun with trainees.  Enough for Now features a quiet Cassian/Jyn moment.  Destiny is an AU where Luke stays on Dathomir with Teneniel Djo (and yes, I was pretty irritated when I discovered how they ended her story).  Make It Home is an Rogue One AU where everyone doesn't die.

 For Chocolate Box - Round 2, I did a few stories.  Climb is a Rogue One canon-compliant Cassian introspection piece.  To Set Sail with Old Friends is an AU Jack-Beverly-Jean Luc threesome version of ST TNG's first few eps.  Memory Loss is a TNG missing piece focused on Crusher/Picard.  Brothers is a Vorkosigan Saga piece focused on Miles and Mark.  Good of You to Come is a TNG canon-compliant piece going straight to the Department of Angsty Back Story for Picard/Crusher.

 For Fandom Stocking 2016, I did several pieces. 
 The Test focuses on Beverly Crusher and the bridge officer test. 
 Wishes is a Ro Laren piece set during Preemptive Strike. 
 In Their Hands focuses on Uhura touring the Enterprise-D (like the scene in Encounter at Farpoint with McCoy). 
 Missing deals with Wesley Crusher finally going to the Academy. 
 Exploration
shows Uhura on an away mission. 
 Recovery is a follow-on to "After Looking in the Mirror" with a TOS Spock/Uhura focus.  Realization could also follow that story, and establishes that all ship's doctors are nosy. 
 Celebration
is a Star Wars drabble. 
Playing by the Rules features another "shore leave on K7" incident for the TOS Enterprise crew.
On Her Terms is a T'Pring drabble.
Rest and Relaxation is an Alys/Simon piece for Vorkosigan fans.
Midnight Snack is a BSC story focusing on Sam & Stacey.  Not really shippy...
The Magic of a Kiss is a full-size BSC story focusing on Charlie Thomas/Mary Anne Spier...with a side of Sleeping Beauty.
Wedding Planning is a BSC story that follows my tradition of doing "wedding theme" stories for Fandom Stocking, Charlie/Janine.

 His Little Princess is a Voltron (1980s version) story done for a blind exchange for the KAEX (Keith/Allura ship focused group).
