Miscellanea, and fanfic meme
Jul. 16th, 2011 11:15 amOh, boy. I am part-way through this thread on Etiquette Hell, and am already crying with laughter. It is *gross* in the extreme, featuring a grape-sized tick full of blood, a dead body with detached head, a projectile-pooping baby, dog vomit with little red eyes in it, and many more. If you have a strong stomach, it is hilarious.
Beast had a new mouse delivered this morning. From the size of the box, it ought to have been a rat, probably a rat in a cage. But it is a fancy mouse with an array of thumb-buttons, that he may improve his healing stats. Actually, it ought to have been a rat - mice seem to be made to fit feminine hands, and I feel sure they'd be more comfy for men if they were a bit larger. Odd, that.
Forgot to do a fanfic meme post yesterday, so here's two days.
Day 20: Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
Lamp fic. Nuff said.
And I do get ideas spinning off from other people's stories, but whether I've written any such, I can't remember—apart from Remix, of course. I probably have.
21 – Sequels – Have you ever written a sequel to a fic you wrote, and if so, why, and if not, how do you feel about sequels?
Yes, a few. The Chronicles of Lancyn and Ser Chrisfer started out as a response to a prompt on
fic_requests, and then I embarked on the fanfic100 challenge and thought, I could do more with those two, and filled a bunch of fairly trivial prompts, and gradually began writing more seriously and at length about their adventures. It's quite a long 'episodic' series now.
There was an AJ/Lance fic which got a very belated sequel, as did my Lance is impregnated by an alien and gives birth to sushi ficlet (of course); Prone, one of my first Dragon stories, eventually acquired both Prologue and Epilogue, and Shiny Teeth which I thought (hah!) was going to be my only vampire opus got a sequel, Bite.
There's also my Lance Bass/Adam Lambert Bouquet universe, which has quite a bunch of stories in it now, basically because I fell in love with the pairing and have just kept writing it. Most recently they had a threesome, which was fun.
