where there's smoke there's--

If you or you have friends (enemies, acquaintances, etc.) possibly wanting to do art or a mix for heroinebigbang, tell them to not pick #3-O from the list. That's my story, and I'm publishing it independently. My pal hollymarchosias might do the art when it's edited (which I'm working on now, when I shouldn't because I signed on for Not Yet Primetime and I aim to finish the story). But it's not for heroinebigbang.

I've let the mod know about the inclusion, and it hopefully will be off before claims open up. Otherwise, I'll have to ward off people from my story myself.

UPDATE: It's off the list.

Content note: As you can tell by the title, sexual content will be discussed in this. It's not explicit. There are large pictures, however. Oh, and photos, except where noted, were gathered by hollymarchosias and myself. There are spoilers for all aired episodes.

There is a bias on older characters on television, and when they're portrayed, they're not usually portrayed as sexual or very sexual. For example, I think of the original Beverly Hills 90210—you never see characters other than the "teen" characters having sex. (And the "teen" characters on that show were, at most, pushing 30.)

In contrast, most of the characters on Burn Notice are older than 40, or at least their actors are. But they're shown talking about sex in some way, and often! And more than likely, it's very subversive.

Well, I didn't see that the names were revealed. I'll cut this so you can see what I wrote!

...and I should be working on this zombie fic and sixathon, but I'm watching the Graceland pilot instead.

1) heroinebigbang's dates have been pushed back. I'm still checking some dates, but I might drop out and post the fic independently here so it doesn't affect any other big bangs I'm working on. (Update: I've dropped out because of conflicting dates, unfortunately.)
2) But more importantly, mmom and the LJ arm of who_at_50 (?) got suspended today, since I recall seeing some posts yesterday. Not sure why they got suspended. I feel bad for those that lost work there and didn't back it up. Mercifully, all my MMOM stuff from last year is on my journals and at AO3. (Update: this is probably the reason why random journals are being suspended, but I did back up my work here.)

update: these comms in item 2 above and more were marked as spam because of "anti-spam" measures at LJ

First off, thank you for writing for me.

Very much like last year, I don't have a specific set of prompts for the characters I've picked. (I didn't write a letter last year.) I did offer suggestions for my Greek mythology characters, but you're free to ignore those if you have another idea in mind. I will, however, say that it's fine with me if you can only write for one or a couple of the characters I've picked if you can't write for all of them.

I really do not want the following:
*character bashing (my number one pet peeve)
*vomitplay (but I'm fine with other kinks, including BSDM)
*alpha/beta/omega fic (or fic with similar dynamics)
*crossovers, especially with larger fandoms (e.g. Sherlock, Avengers MCU, Supernatural, etc.; this includes overt crossovers with New Who)
*incest (where applicable)


I like AUs of all sorts, hurt/comfort and/or whump, casefic, fluff and porn/PWPs. Genderbending is okay as well.

I'm fine with any relationship you come up with (het, gen, slash, femslash, moresomes).

I'll accept up to an NC-17 for fic.

Fandom-wise, here are my fanworks for the following: Doctor Who (1963), Once Upon a Time, Suits. I've seen all the aired episodes for all these canons, so you won't spoil me.

I've never written in Greek mythology before, but I've always had an interest in it. I really enjoyed several of the Yuletide stories written for it recently; I have a few of them bookmarked in Pinboard.

As I said before, I'll be happy with whatever you write me. Please don't stress out over my assignment, and please have fun. ♥

Also, I shouldn't say this, but I have anonymous asks enabled at Tumblr. If you need anything.

Pointless big bang update.

In January, I really thought I had two separate Burn Notice ideas for heroinebigbang and casestory. Eventually my Burn Notice ideas fizzled out. For heroinebigbang I even considered Once Upon a Time and Greek mythology, but those ideas fizzled out as well.

My new original heroinebigbang fic idea keeps mutating, and alas, my vision isn't as complete as I'd like for it to be. I certainly have enough words for a draft to turn in next week, but I don't like where the story's going, so I want to change that while I have the time. That and I'm really suffering to pull my fic ideas together for rarewomen, and I should be doing Ship Swap soon. Because of this and some upcoming ficathons I'd love to do (Not Yet Primetime [maybe], zombi_fic_ation, sixathon) as well as a couple of big bang ideas I believe I can pull off before August (queer_bigbang, originalbigbang), I'm going to pull out of casestory this year. There's just no way in hell I can get a 10K casefic down in time for that rough draft deadline, and even then, I don't know if I could be proud of it at this rate.

I really didn't want to drop out again from an active big bang and I wanted to not to do too much so I'd end up in this position, but I have no choice again.

Also, I would randomly like to say I'd love to see Bioshock Infinite (and maybe Bioshock for crossovers) and Top of the Lake show up for Yuletide this year. I'm writing this down so I don't forget.

Well, since I'm doing this (welp)...

china_shop is hosting the Fandom Appreciation Challenge again this year, if you are interested.

Also, I updated merryghoul recently. I don't go there a lot because I like to focus on my work and Tumblr's a distraction. And I'm not a huge Tumblr person. I don't care about being "Tumblr famous" and migrating most of my stuff to Tumblr, especially since reading fic there's a pain in the ass.
