SPOILERS through the end of Season Two.
Takes place during the summer after Season Two, interspersed with pre-series flashbacks. Completely AU.
After his father's funeral, Logan finds life at The Neptune Grand intolerable, so he packs the Xterra and takes off. But outrunning his ghosts isn't easy.
Rated R for Logan swearing a lot, as usual.
Approx. 6,500 words.

This is the fourth (and final) fic in the Extra Credit series of one-shots, which begins with Chopped Liver, continues with Thursday Next, and Sticks and Stones. (And Stay the Night. Sort of. "Stay the Night" is my AU of, uh… my AU.) The Extra Credit series pairs Logan with Caitlin Ford from 1x02, "Credit Where Credit's Due."

I've got a handful of unfinished VM fics on my hard drive that will likely never be finished, yet this particular story would not let go of me. I don't know why. Its tenacity paid off, though. It got itself written. For the one or two of you who might care slightly that I've wrapped up the story of Logan and Caitlin -- a series I began writing in January of 2006 -- wellp… here ya go. Enjoy. 8^)

AU, set midway through Season 4. SPOILERS for that season.
Rated R (for one swear word).
Bela escapes the Hellhounds. Not surprisingly... that's only where the trouble begins for the Winchester brothers. (Approx. 5,000 words.)

Rated R for one swear word.
Written for the apocalyptothon challenge.
Spoilers for SG-1 "Absolute Power" (4x17), and a small but important spoiler for "Dollhouse."
After taking over the world, Daniel Jackson meets his match. A very AU universe taking off from "Absolute Power." Also, total crackfic

( When you ask him anything, he never answers no. He just yes-es you to death, and as he takes your dough, he tells you: 'Yes, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today.' )

#1 Dude! This show is awesome! Scary and twisted and angsty; and frequently LOLarious.

#2 I'm just gonna put this out there. SPOILER for the first episode. It's a core premise of the show, not a big reveal in the season finale -- but I'm putting it behind a cut anyway. ( My Red John theory: let me show you it. )

My favorite ficathon is underway! Let the wild rumpus start!

I'm hoping for a Supernatural prompt this year. I've never gotten one, probably because I don't write slash. At the very least, I'm hoping for a fun prompt. Like, say... this:

Request 5 - fandom: Any
Details: Rocks fall, everyone dies!

I had to read that twice to make certain it actually did say "any."

ANY.

D8

Okay, sure. I know that means any fandom on the list of Apocalyptothon fandoms, but that means you could have a fic where The Muppets meet the Winchesters, then the Doctor picks them all up in the Tardis, and they go to Atlantis, and meet Wesley and Buttercup. Just as an example.

ETA: DAMMIT! Who do I have to kill to get some french fries a Supernatural prompt around here?!

General SPOILERS for Season Four ( And some speculation... )

Stolen from krilymcc.

Post a single sentence (or eleventy) from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). ( No context, no explanations. )

SPOILERS through Episode 4x10, Heaven and Hell. The fic takes place shortly after that episode.
Rated R for bad language.

NOTES: This is a very, very belated Sweet Charity Fic for innie_darling, who picked one of my old ideas out of a Plot Bunny Graveyard that I'd posted on my LJ last January. D8 The prompt involved Dean, and a time loop, and a haunted bed and breakfast. I'd always wanted to write that fic, and I'd never gotten around to it, so I was excited.

Well… it turns out there's a perfectly good reason those fics were in the Plot Bunny Graveyard. I tried to get the time loop story to go. I tried for months. No joy. It just lay there in all its dead bunny-ness. I wanted to write that story, but that story did not want to be written.

I felt horrible.

Until the day I was driving home from the Rite-Aid, having purchased a milk chocolate Terry's Chocolate Orange. That was when I got… An Idea. It involved a time loop, and Dean, and that was about all the resemblance it bore to the original prompt. But, oh… golly! I liked this idea. I liked it a lot. It was yummy. And Christmasy. And dark. I sat down with my laptop, intending to write the beginning, maybe figure out some notes, and I ended up writing all of the first draft in one day.

So, Innie… dear, patient Innie… here is your fic. Even though it's not exactly (okay, it's not remotely) what you picked. I hope you enjoy it anyhow…

Happy Holidays!

It's the most wonderful time of year again! No, not the holiday season. It's the time of year when the end-of-the world fics start popping up at apocalyptothon. (Including mine.)

MythBusters Shouldn't Play with Dead Things

I remixed soundingsea's Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic, "Eleven Hours at the End of the World." Here is The Memento Mori Remix.

Meanwhile, some intrepid soul alixtii remixed "Be Kind, Rewind." D8

The Second Ghost Remix is oblique, sneaky and chilling. Go read it!

The Remix Redux VI Archive is now open!

The first person to find the fic I shredded like cabbage remixed will get a ficlet.

I won't be able to confirm that you've found me until the remix authors are revealed, sometime next Saturday (April 26th). Plus, (hopefully) -- finding me won't be as easy as last year.

I shall give you one measly clue: I haven't picked a brand-new fandom. You'll find my Remix fandom listed among the fandoms in the index of my fics.

Rated PG (for one swear word)
Characters: Ash, and the kids from 3x02 “The Kids are Alright” (Ben Braeden, Ryan Humphrey, Katie and Dakota)
Word Count: 1800

Written for the spn_thur_nights Blind-Item Prompts Challenge, using prompts 3, 18, and F (respectively, Ash, Ben Braeden and holy water). Also, W00T!

A Supernatural drabble for 100_ghosts.

Prompt: Love Is In the Air

Bidding is open at Sweet Charity!

I mentioned previously that I am shopping my goods on the corner for nickels to benefit the striking writers. As an option for potential bidders, I present The Plot Bunny Graveyard.

Should you win me, you may select any one of my abandoned fics (listed below), and I will complete it for you. Please note that this is OPTIONAL. I am also quite happy to write you a fic that is brand spanking new.  (Heh. "Spanking.")  I'm open to prompts and plot bunnies from my winning bidder, and I will also consider writing sequels, codas, and continuations of my previous fics, (for example another story set in the universe of "Fish Out of Water").

Abandoned Veronica Mars Fics

1. Beyond the Sea -- the fourth story in the "Extra Credit" series (featuring Logan & Caitlin).
   
2. Last Stop -- a VM/Final Destination crossover. Starts with the bus crash and... well, you get the idea.

Abandoned Supernatural Fics

1. On a Steel Horse -- AU mid-Season Two. Sam is stolen by the Yellow-Eyed Demon, and Dean goes to extraordinary lengths to find his brother, including teaming up with Sarah Blake from "Provenance," time-traveling... and getting on an airplane.
   
2. The Winchester Brothers versus The Headless Horseman -- the title says it all.
3. Pot Luck -- Dean and Sam snag some referral business from a woman who's just bought a haunted bed and breakfast.  This one involves a time-loop, a vengeful Victorian ghost, and lots of cooking. Did I mention the cannibalism?
   
4. Dead Air -- two ghost ships break free from the Arctic ice, and a creepy radio broadcast from the 1930s seems to be following poor Sammy around.  This one is based loosely on the doomed Franklin Expedition.

I've signed up for Sweet Charity's special auction to benefit those affected by the Writer's Strike.

For Sale: One story of at least 1000 words, in any fandom listed below.

Angel the Series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Cthulhu (and/or H.P. Lovecraft), Firefly, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Psych, Pushing Daisies, Reaper, Shakespeare, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, Veronica Mars, Wonderfalls, & Xena: Warrior Princess.

I am also willing to write original fiction, and we can discuss your wish list.

I only write GEN (with maybe a little romance). I write crackfic, really strange crossovers, and dark fics; but again, I'm open to suggestions. I'd love to write more SPN fic, and I'm always up for VM. In particular, if you are seeking high-quality, non-schmoopy, OPJ Logan, then I am your strumpet of choice. VM, SPN and MST3k are what I've written in primarily, but I welcome the challenge of a new fandom.

Bidding opens January 18th at midnight GMT, and continues through January 26th at midnight GMT.

Much like the curse of The Monkey's Paw, I have inherited from queen_haq... a ficlet meme. *thunder crash*

"The first few people to comment on this post get to request a ficlet. In return, they have to post this meme in their journal (or they'll be decapitated - that's my twist on this meme. Heh)."

I've been hella busy lately and I haven't gotten much writing done. Boo. So, I'm open to writing Supernatural or Veronica Mars. (Always!) I'll take a stab at Bones, Pushing Daisies or Reaper. Or you could hit me with a prompt for an original ficlet.

Creepy, Halloweeny prompts would be great. Well, you know me. I think they're great all year round. But, now I have an excuse!

This entry is inspired by worldwasasong, who commented in Drunk's Luck: "Whoa. WEIRD! Since it was you, I kind of expected something off-kilter (in a good way)..."

Fish Out of Water was described by readers as: astonishing, blasphemous, creepy, funky, freakish, gothic, heartbreaking, hilarious, insomnia-causing, lyrical, shocking and surreal. Be Kind, Rewind actually killed one Anonymouse, who then informed me she was heading out to go coffin shopping. And _kirsty called me "madder than a tree full of sheep" for writing One True Pair.

I don't try to write weird. The weirdness just sorta... happens.

So, what's the weirdest Veronica Mars fic I've posted to date? Not the one you think is the best written. Not the one that's your favorite. What's the fic that finally caused you to question my sanity? Which fic of mine, in your opinion, would qualify as the most bizarro, neuron-frying, spaztastic, crack-addled freakfest?

(orangesky33, please be so kind as to vote in this new poll, which actually works. I hope. It does!)

Poll #1037668
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 17

What the Fic?!

Rated R for violence and colorful language.
Written for the apocalyptothon challenge.
This fic takes place very early in Season One, so slight spoilers for that season.

Apologies to bennet_7. This is not a Killer Zombie Unicorn story. I tried, but I couldn't get your KZUs to work for me. (This time!)

Gen; Rated PG
Characters: The Impala; Dean and Sam
SPOILERS: through Season Two; Futurefic
Summary: Written for the family_secret Fic Challenge, but disqualified by the mod. The two prompts I picked are this quote:

"Three can keep a secret, if two are dead." - Benjamin Franklin, and this photograph.

The challenge rules stated that, "Stories should have primary focus on the Winchesters and the secrets that can come from the lives they've led and choices they've made." Lucky us; we're all in on this secret -- the true story of the Winchesters.
