Remix reveals are up!!! 
I am so lucky!! I ended up remixing the people who remixed me!!  [livejournal.com profile] snacky wrote this lovely follow on to Follow the Star and [livejournal.com profile] lotl101 wrote an alternate view of how Lucy and Asim might have met!  Go and tell them how wonderful they are!!

Thank you both so much for these wonderful stories!!

I wrote two, a Narnia/Silmarillion xover for Snacky here and a Doctor Who story for [livejournal.com profile] lotl101 about the OTP between Doctor 10 and his Converse trainers.

I made the mistake of looking at word count since November 1 -- AW chapters 10-15, Rat and Sword, and one chapter of H&M totals over 140,000 words in less than 6 months.  So, if I'm a little slow getting off the mark at the moment, I guess that's why.  But I've started writing and outlining again and actually wrote a few hundred words of H&M dialogue last night. What follows is some writing blather below with the offer to share any thinky thoughts you may have:
Blather about AW, H&M and request for thoughts if you feel like sharing! )

I know there are a few out here who follow this LJ, have read the Star Wars Expanded Universe, watched new Dr. Who, and like Doctor River Song.  For that admittedly very small space in the intersecting circles on the Venn diagram, Separated At Birth is my offering. I posted it on AO3, but that site is pretty wonky right now.  But here's the link in case it works better for you.  For the first time I've just removed a review from the story because yuck

It's just that I'm working on a Star Wars/Doctor Who cross over and have returned to writing a particular character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe after 17 years. Eeep. It's going slowly (5,000 words or so) but it's really, really fun and I'll shove it into the femgenficathon as satisfying both my previously written prompts.

And speaking of Doctor Who, being reported all over the place this morning, including here the Doctor Who Christmas special is supposed to be a cross over with the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, complete with creepy old house and World War 2 evacuees. There are lots of great Who/Narnia cross overs including [livejournal.com profile] ilysia_039's touch the sky with two arms and [livejournal.com profile] be_themoon's Whose_Other_Side_Is_Salvation. [livejournal.com profile] metonomia has done several, including with Susan, the Doctor, and Merlin, and one with the Doctor and Polly for the NFE here. I think [livejournal.com profile] wingedflight21 might have at least one as well. Please add others in the comments!!

Also, and this is [livejournal.com profile] edenfalling's fault because I really wanted more Shezan and Ilgamuth or Cor and Aravis, so I bit, even though I don't usually do this, but you know, I could use a kickstart to get back to AW and maybe this well help on the Spare Oom sides of things.

The first five people to comment on this post get to request that I write a drabble/ficlet of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to could post this in their journal, regardless of their own writing ability level. Or bake me cookies. [edited]

So, if you want to play, just ask in the comments and hopefully it will get me going on Lionsgate (the next chapter) and how I'm going to write Peter at Normandy and Susan in France short of a full blown, multi-chaptered epic war story.

My first non-Narnia fic in a long time just went up at my LJ and at the femgen ficathon 2011.


Because with the Doctor blathering on about homo-reptilia, I could not leave it alone.  There had to be dinosaurs and references to the Oxford Museum of Natural History.    It can be read on my LJ and at femgen.  I really wanted to work in the dinosaur statues in the Crystal Palace by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins because they would really piss off Jenny and Madame Vastra, but that was going just a bit too far.    I have another femgen to do that will be Narnia and that will be up in September.  Eeek.  and the NFE written for me went up today and it is wonderful alternate history and just marvelous.  Go tell my mystery writer how awesome she is.  Written in the dust It's TERRIFIC!

Fandom: Dr. Who/Torchwood
Rating: PG
Characters: Madame Vastra, Jenny
Warnings: None
Prompt: (159) I have never found a human friend to whom I would dare tell all I know; the human heart is too small to bear it. -- Gertrud of Helfta (c.1256-1302), German nun, author and translator.


Author's Notes: Thanks to the lovely and helpful [livejournal.com profile] metonomia for the beta.

Summary: If birds evolved from dinosaurs, and humans from apes, homo-reptilia did not strain credulity over much. The job posting did mention reptiles and foreign travel.

So,[livejournal.com profile] irishsongbird , [livejournal.com profile] wingedflight21 , and [livejournal.com profile] metonomia (once she gets on Twitter) thought this would be a good idea. 

Crack! Commentfic!  Dean, Sam, Doctor 10, Donna (and I really think Jack might work too), and Vampires on Venice Beach that, we can assume, are not really vampires. 

As I don't actually watch SPN, this is a best guess.  Yes not only do I read fic for shows I don't watch, I am now writing it (sort of).


“It’s great to be back in California,” Sam says. 

 

“Can’t get a decent burger and everyone is plugged into their own world with their ass hanging out,” Dean mutters.

 

“Damned right,” Sam says.  “It’s Venice Beach!”

 

“With a vampires feeding off the local winos under the pier,” Dean replies, opening the trunk of the Impala for a check on supplies.

 

They both hear it at the same time, a wheezing, groaning, vworp, vworp.  Sam grabs the sawed off shot gun, thinking a moment later that brandishing such a thing around the LAPD is probably not a great decision.  Dean snatches a knife, slams the trunk shut and they both look around. 

 

A big blue box, like an old phone booth, with a flashing light on the top, materializes not 20 feet away on the Venice beach bike path.  A blond (they are all blond in California) in a bikini smaller than her iPod jogs casually around the box, as if she does not even see it.  Maybe, Sam thinks, she actually doesn’t see it?  But they do.

 

Dean opens his mouth and shuts it again as the door to the box swings open and a middle aged, red headed women steps out.  She’s in a green sundress, wearing giant sunglasses, and a big hat with yellow flowers.  She's acting like it’s the most normal thing in the world to step out of a phone booth on to the pier of Venice Beach. 

 

“Oi!  Doctor, now this is better!  No snow and we’re not floating in the ocean.  Do you have any sunblock?”  She’s English and has a brassy voice to match her whole way of going.

 

“Sunblock?” a male voice, also English but sounding like someone from PBS, calls from inside the box.  “How should I know, Donna?  Ask the TARDIS and she’ll mix some up for you straight off in the infirmary.”

 

“Bigger on the inside than the outside?” Sam asks referring to the tiny box that holds two people, a hospital, and something called a TARDIS that makes SPF 50 sunscreen to order.

 

Dean shrugs and takes a tighter grip on the shotgun. 

 

Donna looks back inside the door.  “You are going to wear a suit and trainers to the seaside?”

 

“I’ve not exposed my legs to a sun in over 200 years,” the Doctor says.
