fic-related, mainly

So I hear that [livejournal.com profile] je_holiday community revealed something or other? XD I was responsible for what is in all likelihood the silliest of the lot, One Thousand and One Tokyo Nights, which is not in fact an Arabian Nights AU but just Yamapi and Jin being Very Silly. XD (Mild Pin, but nothing too alarming.) I had a lot of fun writing it -- as in, I sat down and blew off steam related to another writing project by emptying the recesses of my mind without any regard as to how ridiculous the result was. XD ...it was fun! I also had it easy as it was for [livejournal.com profile] 4_03_am and [livejournal.com profile] phonestrap so I had a preeetty good idea what would go over all right. ;)

By the way, I'm never sure whether to repost challenge fic here or simply link and leave them be -- show of hands, what do you guys do?

In related news, I'm pretty sure all of [livejournal.com profile] je_ficgames is up now? So, if you feel like guessing that. (eta: Polls will be shut down on Sunday, so if you want to cast a vote, do it before then!) No one did manage to get [livejournal.com profile] je_holiday before the reveal, and at least one person expressed Surprise at the identity of the author being... me... which pleased me greatly, actually. :) It's nice not to be universally predictable.

People still hanging out here at least partly for fic-related reasons: a redux of that meme in which you tell authors your favorite piece of theirs is going around, and... actually I'm too lazy to link to it again. If you feel so inclined give me a heads up? :D Especially if this answer is something more recent. Just 'cause I'm curious.

Ending with a rec -- this is from Yuletide, but I don't even know if it counts as fanfiction. Theoretically the fandom is (coincidentally, haha) One Thousand and One Nights; in practice it reads as original fiction and wow did it blow me away. It's not so much the prose as, appropriately, the storytelling, but I really recommend it -- One Thousand And One And Counting.

having a copy that I can edit without having to pester mods is a must

That! That is exactly the problem here! XD There's something that should be changed and I want to fix it, which I could do if I repost -- I just don't like the feeling of having two copies floating around (and one that I don't have control over, eep, not that I can do anything about that now!) to be confused and having the comments split up and everything... *sigh* Probably I'll repost one of the challenge fics and not the other, and fix the one that needs fixing.

Kitty and the Tramp and Attack of the JE Bodysnatchers. As much as I love and adore Marquee, it ended on such a perfect note it needs no further additions, and I'd love to see any further snippets from the former 'verses.

:D :D :D I am so fond of the kitty gang myself... Well, I do -- or will at some point -- owe you more of that, after all, I believe we made a deal. XD I will do my best to work on that!

Really it's whatever you're comfortable with. As a reader, I personally tend to stick to an author's journal for their fics, I'm less likely to click off to other places unless it's an author I absolutely adore, so as a writer I try to stick as much in one place as possible. But that's just me ^_^

I believe we made a deal. XD

Ah, we did indeed. I best get to work on fulfilling my half of the bargain! *drags out the Verona guidebook* ^_~
