Hiding fandom in the underwear drawer since 1977

Taking a cue from snacky, who posted some things yesterday in advance of the Remix 10, I'll be putting some old things up on ff.net.  Last year, I wrote Carrying out my design to shatter the enemies, which was a remix of the fabulous metonomia 's She Maintained This Estate and received from the wonderful Caleon a remix of the The Palace Guard, Always On The Guard.  I'm not sure if I'll participate this year or not -- Carrying out my design has been really popular on AO3 along with my Temeraire cross, so go figure.  And Big Bang and Harold and Morgan, right?  right?

So far, I've put up an old Polly Plummer & River Song story, Out of Place and the first part, which is the best standalone, of
The Horse and his boy,  the Mare and her girl, Rat, Cat and Trickster.  I've got a lot of other things I could put up -- all pasted together it was over 25,000 words.  Oh self.  If you want to drop a line or a review, lovely, but it's not new content, though maybe it's new to you.

This is all of course to procrastinate on my Big Bang which is going sooo slowly.  I've received one lovely poem from lotl101 (thank you!) and something from clio for Asim to share with Mrs. Caspian, but seriously, if you are yearning to have Tebbitt write Susan a poem that she can use to send secret messages via Morse code from occupied France, now is your chance.  I am just not that romantic. 

I'm not writing.  I sent in my narniaexchange prompt (Woot!  Early!  I LOVE my prompt!  Thank you whoever you are!).  So, I'm sort of done writing for now.  Really.   I'm not working on TSG or Harold & Morgan.  I'm still too uncertain of being able to sustain a story given how readers dropped like flies at the end of TQSiT.  But, work is slow, the days are hot, and the evenings are a bit dull since I don't watch TV.  I'm using the treadmill and watching Merlin on netflix which is a total crack experience -- it's so cracky, I'm just not sure I can get by the embarrassment I keep projecting over the whole thing.

But as a result of the Narnia and feminism discussion on NFFR recently, a question came about what the heck was Aslan thinking in dumping Shasta off with Arsheesh the abusive fisherman.  Really, it is a total Dumbledore leaving Harry on the Dursley Huh sort of moment.  This is an idea I've had for a while and have even mentioned here a few times -- a retelling of The Horse and his Boy with the Trickster god of the Calormene pantheon.

So, The Horse, His Boy, the Rat, and the Trickster
