pensnest: fountain pen nib lying across sheet of writing (pen)
Spotted an AO3 fic meme at [personal profile] topaz119's journal and thought, well, why not?

1. How many stories have you posted?
135, but that may include stories that I podficced but did not write, of which there are a generous handful.

pensnest: Bassez/Timbertone/Cramp (Love comes in many guises)
I was looking back through my 'writing about writing' tags, and came upon an interesting list.

Can you fill the following list with stories you've written?

Real World AU
Historical AU
Space AU
Fantasy AU
High School AU
College/University AU
Alternate timeline (things went down a different trouser of time)
Alternate reality (ie our world, but there's something different about it)
Fix-it fic
Crossover with characters from both fandoms
Crossover into world of another fandom
Mpreg
Bodyswap
Genderswap
Animal transformation
Vampires
Werewolves
Elves
Supernatural beings
Other 'creatures' eg clones
Wingfic
Magical creatures (eg unicorns, talking animals etc)
Disability
Rape
Kink (subdivisions?)
Soulbonding
Telepathy
Superpowers
Time Travel
Magic
Invisibility
Rare Pairings?
Kidfic
Omega-verse
First Times
Cross-dressing

There are only five I haven't filled: Werewolves, Wingfic, Soulbonding, Superpowers and Omega-verse. (I'm quite certain that last one is *not* going to be filled, but I suppose the others might.)

I think there are a couple of worthy omissions which I'd like to add:

Post-apocalypse AU
Pets

and, because my soul is forever bound to popslash, one more:

Lava Lamps
pensnest: Justin gurning in close up (Justin Timberlake god of sex)
Justin in a heart T-shirt on Tom and Lorenzo's site. The commenters don't, er, seem to care for the Timberlake, but what I say is, at least there is no visible evidence of that peculiar hairstyle. I am a little concerned that JT has swapped out his usual legs in favour of a shorter pair...


I've been idling away the time making out a list of Stuff We Write in a general way, and wondering just how many of these things I have written (quite a lot, indeed). I invite you to tell me what I have omitted from the list, and/or whether some of the things on it aren't really separate items.

Also, pick one, and I'll tell you whether I've written it. (You can pick something that isn't on the list, if you like.)

Real World AU
Historical AU
Space AU
Fantasy AU
High School AU
College/University AU

ETA some extra suggestions, thanks [livejournal.com profile] morgana_st. I'm not sure whether Angst and H/C quite fit within the same framework as the rest—they are certainly Stuff That We Do, but not quite in the same way, perhaps?
pensnest: shiny red apple (Apple)
Thank you to [personal profile] turps and [personal profile] chalcopyrite for the cards!

My Brats got home yesterday—how very handy it is that one, at least, can drive. Bun came to the gym with us this morning and even joined the Body Balance class, which she managed very well. We baked cookies this afternoon. How very American that sounds! In fact, yes, the recipes were American ones found online, and I still don't think measuring butter in 'cups' is even slightly practical. However, caramel apple cookies have been baked, iced and partially consumed, and there are some cinnamon rolls to be continued. They are much better than any mince pies that weren't baked by my grandmother, whose pastry was ambrosial.

The writing meme I spotted somewhere... [personal profile] sperrywink's journal, I think.

pensnest: bright-eyed baby me (Default)
Interesting meme, although so far I couldn't answer it for either of the people I've seen posting it. I suspect it's something most of us will have to figure out for ourselves. However, it's interesting, so let's see if anyone has an answer.

If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.
— Alfred Hitchcock

If I wrote a story what would you be looking for in it?
