There is more to life than fics? Surely you jest!

[castalie]

Technically, I guess this would be a meme for January, but I'm not sure I'll finish any new stories before then, so let's say it's safe doing it now. Blaired from dsudis.

The Fics I Wrote in 2005:

The Sentinel
Solace

The Sentinel - Night series
Who Needs Fairy Tales, Even Trade and Brief Moment in Time

Numb3rs
Additive Inverse, A different World and Part of the Cycle

Supernatural
Exorcism

It does make me smile because dsudis, the girl I gacked the meme from - which btw, I cut in half. Er, I mean the meme obviously, not the girl - wrote 42 stories the past year, one of which was a 50.000 word novel. Boggles the mind, I know lol But thing is, I'm happy I can write, period, so I'm satisfied with my work *g* Also for the record, Even Trade is +11.000 words and for me that's a lot *nods*

Still, I definitely wouldn't mind writing more... we'll see how it goes in 2006 ;-)

Speaking of fics. For the Numb3rs slashers on my flist who dig OT3, penguingal and schnaucl wrote a third part in their Don/Charlie/Coop series.

And see, this is another thing I adore in Numb3rs, how we have two canon varied threesomes to work with, and here I'm talking about Don/Charlie/Coop and Don/Charlie/Edgerton. People write them on a regular basis, too, which makes my heart sing *happy sigh* Also, we have spikedluv who promised told us she would write a nice OT3 Numb3rs fic soon - and was curious as to who her flist would like to see Don and Charlie in a threesome with. Cue to poll where I picked Edgerton because... because it's Edgerton? Yes.

See, it's not that I don't want to read a threesome with someone else from the poll, because let's be honest here, the brothers look hot and sexy and pretty with just about every one of them but EDGERTON! I cannot not choose him if he's included in the list. Just... it's Edgy! The man who fell in lust with Charlie the first time he laid eyes on him. The man who feels both lust and affection for Charlie and who seems to be attracted to his mind as well as his body even though he doesn't always understand him. He's also a man Don really respects and loves and someone Don would feel safe sharing Charlie with.

Of course Don is quite attracted to Edgerton himself. It's like meeting an equal and just to think of the things he could do with Edgerton... and all the things they could do to Charlie? Well just the thought makes Don hard, really.

So why Edgerton? Because he feels an attraction to the brothers, which is completely mutual and because he would love both them equally, just in a different way. And Don and Charlie would know he could never go between them though he would be part of them for however long they want and they would still be friends the morning after. They're like friends with a benefit because they would have someone to share themselves with each time they would feel like and wow, imagine that!

They would be perfect together. QED *nods*

42? ::boggles with you::

That kind of talent is supernatural. I think I wrote, maybe, twelve, so don't feel bad. I've been so focused on vidding that writing has taken a back shelf to it.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Worst thing is? Well no "worst", obviously - is that she writes awesome fics! I mean, it could be a case of having the quantity but not the quality, right? Well wrong! It's absolutely not her case lol

Twelve is nice, it's one a month. That's a nice ratio, imho *g* And actually, since you are a vidder too, I'd say it's actually a great result ;-)

[wistful-fever.livejournal.com]

Damn freakishly talented authors. Who was it that posted an essay about the freakishly talented authors migrating? *wracks brain*

Anyway, it was great meta.

Twelve is nice, it's one a month. That's a nice ratio, imho *g* And actually, since you are a vidder too, I'd say it's actually a great result ;-)

I try to tell myself that. :) And I've been very lax about feedback lately for fics, whereas I've upped my feedback for vids. *slaps hand*

You know---there should be a Year In Feedback meme. Or something. I know there are fics I've yours that I've loved and meant to comment on, but for one reason or another, never ended up coming back to do it.

I think that was carodee. Check the past three weeks or so - it hasn't been long.

Since LJ appeared in my life, I give even more feedback, I think. I'm quite a good feedbacker - I don't send a LoC all the time I read a fic I liked - or else I would need way more than 24 hours in a day, really - but each time I read a fic that really had an impact on me, I send a feedback.

And actually, when I say that I don't send a LoC just if I "liked" a fic, I'd say that it's not 100% on LJ where I'll comment anyway. I guess it goes faster on LJ and all.

But thing is, I do send feedback - though of course, we can always improve our FB writing *g*

I know there are fics of yours that I've loved and meant to comment on

Really? Hey thanks a lot for letting me know *g* I know how sometimes we just forget to send a comment - for whatever reason - but I'm delighted to hear you did enjoy some of my fics even though you didn't comment directly ;-) And obviously, it's never too late, so thank you *g*

[spikedluv]

You've already convinced me that it might be possible *g*, but I'm not sure I could write it and do it justice. Did I mention that I'm considering two threesome fic now? One with my OMC, based on the assumption that the guys would chose a stranger over someone they knew (based on jealousy alone *g* but also because they wouldn't want to out themselves), and one with Edgerton, just to see if I could make it work.

P.S. You're evil. *g*

[spikedluv]

P.P.S. I posted Secrets to numb3rsflashfic. In case you're interested. *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm evil, but it's for the pervie good cause, can't you see? Cause now we might even get one more fic from you, YAY!

[spikedluv]

Yes, it's for a good cause, lol, 'cause there can never be enough Eppescest. The jury's still out, though, on whether it's a good thing I'm writing it. *bg*

[sockich.livejournal.com]

Well, it boggles my mind that people can write at all but yeah, 42 is quite a lot. However 'tis not the quantity, but the quality that matters and you're totally brilliant when it comes to that. :)

And do I really need to say I agree with everything you said about Don/Charlie/Edgerton? Edgy is the man!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

However 'tis not the quantity, but the quality that matters and you're totally brilliant when it comes to that. :)

You're such a doll *blushes* Thanks!

For the record though, dsudis does write incredible fics, so she both has the quantity and the quality ;-)

Lol Somehow, I knew you would see the Don/Charlie/Edgerton exactly like I do *g*

[sockich.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know dsudis writes awesome fics, I didn't mean to imply she doesn't. I just meant that as long as you write ass kicking fics like you do, it doesn't matter how much of them you write. :)

[stacy-l.livejournal.com]

Ah Lord I'm falling in love with your mood theme! A sleeping Blair is just so beautiful to see : D and that's Jim's hand there right? Right? I knew they were fucking : D

(admit it you created a monster by sending me those episodes...I am so ADDICTED now!)

You wrote more stories than I did this year! Congratulations!

I have no idea how other people can write so many stories. 42 is a hell of a lot. I have another friend who wrote 12 this past year and I thought that was a lot too. My writing has slowed down to a crawl but at least I'm enjoying it and having a blast too! I even added more to MOP and started working on some of my lovely Jack/Daniel BDSM stories I had placed temporarily on the back burner so in a way I'm accomplishing something slow as the process may be for me and I'm enjoying every minute of it! : D

On another note...

I'm glad you had a great time in England! Welcome back and take care!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Dude, you don't know much I enjoy the fact that you're loving Jim and Blair so much lol Also, more TS will come in the coming weeks, just so you know :-)

(I'll gladly admit it yes - also? I'll gladly admit I'm proud of it, too lol)

It's funny cause I never feel like you're writing less. I mean, you might be posting fics less technically, but you're always writing something so for me... it's like you're always doing it. Btw, I'm on holiday this Friday so I'll finally have time to look over your fic carefully.

Jack/BDSM story? WOOHOO *is impatient*

Thanks, it was so incredibly awesome! I wanna go back to England RIGHT NOW lol

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! Oh yeah, 2005 was a good year. You added to the Night series! Woooooooooooooo!

I think I may have writren between 25-30 fics this year, but nothing close to 50,000 words. LOL...probably not 50,000 words total between all my fics. I tend to write short stuff mostly. *wink*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It was a good Night-series year, yes *preens*

I was thinking of you when I did the meme and I was like "I wonder how many fics she wrote". And so it's something between 25 and 30? Dude! Can't even say I'm satisfied with that figure as I just LOVE your stories and always want more of them lol

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

Any year that gives me your faithful readers more of the Night series is a very good year indeed. ::wishes very hard for 2006 to be a very good year in that regard::

25-30 *nods* I think that's pretty close. I'm counting my *cough* you-know-which-stories too, but I'm thinking now I may have forgotten one or two pervie little things that I haven't exactly posted. I need to get organized methinks. Perhaps my New Year Resolution should be to dump all some of my stuff at 852. I know, I know, I keep saying that. *smooch*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

but I'm thinking now I may have forgotten one or two pervie little things that I haven't exactly posted.

Dude! What are you waiting for, then? Post them post them! *bounces*


Perhaps my New Year Resolution should be to dump all some of my stuff at 852. I know, I know, I keep saying that. *smooch*

You certainly keep saying that. Next time we're on MSN or Y!M together - it'll happen one day, I have faith - we'll have to do something about 852 Prospect.

Or, you could send me all your fics with a detailed template and I could upload them. And this time, I promise not to forget to include the prequels, should there be any lol

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That's a cool meme. I'm looking at all your stories and getting the shivers as I remember certain scenes. So so good!

I haven't written much either this year, nowhere near what I used to. I thought I'd written more but I guess I just take longer now *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks, you're too kind ma'am *bows*

We should try to write more in 2006. It could be like a personal challenge or something. Only thing is, our muses should get with the program too and, well, we know how they are, don't we? *shakes head*
