More of the picowrimo ficlets, from the 3 Sentence Ficathon 2024 prompt list and now put up on A03:

- for Brother Athelstan (yes, talk about tiny tiny fandoms, but it's mine), a scrap of a vignette on the prompt saying ridiculous things to a cat

- for Dr Who, on the prompt I think this kitten is trying to kill me

- for Stargate Atlantis, on the prompt exhaustion

- for The Sentinel, on the prompt don't panic

- for The Untamed, on the prompt I know there's better brothers, but you're the only one that's mine (knowledge of canon needed, I definitely think, more than usual)

I should finish them next time with the last few - I like to put a few days between posts on the same collection, and then get distracted by studies and things :)

And more picowrimo ficlets, from the 3 Sentence Ficathon 2024 prompt list and now put up on A03:

- for Pride and Prejudice, on the prompt poisoned tea

- for Stargate Atlantis, two linked Rodney and Radek ones on the prompt comfort food

- for Stargate SG1, on the prompt Am I supposed to be scared now?

- for The Sentinel, on the prompt stuck somewhere due to inclement weather

- for The Untamed, on the prompt patience is a virtue

Not many left now (I wrote 37 in March, a total I am very happy with even if most were either short or... very short :) and have quite a few prompts I can maybe use in the next session...)

I've put up four more fannish ficlets for picowrimo in March, from the 3 Sentence Ficathon 2024 prompt list and now put up on A03:

- for Doctor Who, on the prompt annoyance

- for Stargate Atlantis, on the prompt terror in the water

- for The Sentinel, on the prompt slow day at work

- for The Untamed, on the prompt food as a metaphor for love

Plus, I finished and sent off an assignment today, two short lifewriting exercises and an exegesis (oh gee what fun). After some dithering, I chose two of the easier ones for a change, so we will see how it is received. For the major assignment, I'm looking at a 1500 word piece that I need to write a proposal/statement of practice by 3 may, and the piece itself plus a contextual statement (whatever that is, I am sure I'm not the only one who will be asking about this!) by the end of May. But I do have an idea! - for a biofiction (a mix of biography and fiction) that may work, which is more than I often have at this point.

More of the fannish ficlets I did for picowrimo, from the 3 Sentence Ficathon 2024 and now put up on A03:

- for Blakes 7, on the prompt any rare pair, a scene that's already in your head, but you keep putting off writing it because there's no fanbase, so okay it's not really a scene (the end sentence is what made it as such for me) and there may have been other people who saw Avon and Jenna, but... not many :)

- for Dracula (any version :) on the prompt calm down, it's not my blood!

- for Primeval, on the prompt the best part of waking up...

- for Stargate Atlantis, on the prompt eldritch creature just wants back scritches

- for Stargate SG1, on the prompt the dictionary of lost words

- for The Sentinel, on the prompt adopted by a cat

- for The Untamed, on the prompt canon divergence that makes things worse and the tiniest of tiny ficlets, on the prompt the best part of waking up...

For picowrimo, I've been writing fannish ficlets this month from the the 3 Sentence Ficathon 2024 list: as I put them up on Ao3, I'll note the links here. There's quite a range, sometimes only 1 for a fandom, and some (like The Untamed and The Sentinel) a few more :) I'm sure it has been good for me, I must keep writing ficlets, whether fannish or original and may keep using the prompts for inspiration. So far I have put these on Ao3:

- for Blakes 7, on the prompt 'computer issues' computer issues

- for Jeeves and Wooster, on the prompt a really bad three sentence horror story

- for Magnificent 7, on the prompt fell asleep on the sofa

- for Merlin, on the prompt unusual applications of magic

- for The Chalet School, on the prompt delicate but deadly

- for The Sentinel, on the prompt 'Whatever you're going to ask, the answer is No!'

- for Stargate SG1, on the prompt having a bad day

- for The Untamed, on the prompt an unexpected second chance

This years Secret Santa Gift Exchange for The Sentinel now has all the stories and writers revealed ☺ My gift is a funny, sweet and oh so them case and banter, fluffy case fic story...

It's by HiddenViolet and I thank her so much! - and the link to it is here :).

The whole Secret Santa collection for 2023 is lovely. And my own story...

...was written for pattrose, with love and best wishes (and by the sound of my comments with very much of a recognisable style of my own, there were those who guessed it was me! - whether that is good or not and I do hope good) and it's here :)

This is a little something for pattrose for her birthday, hope you have a good one!

china_shop asked for White Collar -- Moz, Neal and June, three-card Monty in the park. Now I admit, I didn't remember at first what three-card monty even was - and I certainly couldn't do it myself :) But this tiny ficlet emerged anyway...

***

Mozzie liked to set up for an afternoon of three-card monte in the same corner of Central Park, under a tree which dappled the light and rustled softly in the breeze. He didn't need to shill for the small (in the scheme of, well, Mozzie's schemes) sums it made in passers-by, and it was more a hobby, a remembrance past of simpler times and simpler cons, a wits-sharpening game from when he was young and - relatively - innocent. Just a trip down memory lane, a bit of good old dishonest fun, as June said.

Sometimes she and Neil would stroll by, looking effortlessly honest and innocent, and June would let herself be drawn in to 'play'. Sometimes Mozzie would even let her 'win', to assure the marks that it was all above board; most of the time, she'd let him 'cheat' her, and laugh and pay up, and that would assure the marks even further. And Mozzie would look small and harmless, even a little dumb, as absolutely no one in the whole of New York could do like he could.

Really, they both thought that in this day and age, it shouldn't still have worked on so many people. Part of the joy was in the simple fact that it still did, and part was in remembering when they were young and just starting out, learning their trade and its tricks and how to make the marks make it work.

Neal just smiled and kept his own memories locked away as he watched them have their fun, and kept an eye out for police... or his FBI keepers, who all three of them knew wouldn't exactly understand about remembrances past.

***

thisbluespirit asked How about Primeval/Doctor Who - Doctor of your choice + Lester, "That's not a dinosaur, that's an alien." And yes, well... this happened :)

That's Not A Dinosaur...
"...That's an alien."

Lester turned a jaded and less than impressed stare on the latest 'scientist' foisted on him by a government who clearly had even less stringent standards in this field of expertise that the Anomaly Research Centre, if that were possible.

"Really. I could have sworn Mr Temple who is, god help me, one of my senior advisers showed me a picture of it in his enormous reference base."

"Yes, it looks like a dinosaur." The Doctor - Doctor Who of precisely What had not been made clear, which Lester couldn't help finding suspicious - agreed with a blinding grin. "But looks, my dear Sir James, can be deceiving. Take me for example." ( Read more...Collapse )

For watervole, who suggested Stargate SG-1 - humour, preferably involving Teal'c. With the requisite (and all too common for me, I know) warning for silliness...

Shanap
"The General is not going to like this, sir."

"I know, Carter. I know."

"The General is not going to even understand this, sir."

"I know that, Carter. One more word, and you can be the one to explain it to him."

There was a silence, then Teal'c spoke imperturbably. ( Read more...Collapse )

byslantedlight asked "Oh - Torchwood please (but not including the very last series where they went to America, cos that wasn't Torchwood... are we allowed to be picky?!)! Oops, forgot the prompt. Erm... fairy floss, Jack/Ianto at least in the background as a general thing, though doesn't have to be explicit. *g*"

Now this one is probably not very good, I was reminded when I pulled out a couple of episodes just how long it's been since I watched it and I've probably lost all grasp on the characters... but the idea just wouldn't go away :)

In His Own Sweet Time
They all were staring, and Jack couldn't blame them.

It was one thing to see him standing on the roof as they all knew he liked to. It was another to see him standing there talking to.... himself, and yet another to see him arguing with himself, lecturing and laughing at himself, being given the bag with its bright pastel contents by himself. ( Read more...Collapse )

pattrose had a cheery prompt: "The Sentinel. What would Jim and Blair do during a Pandemic?

And I meant it to actually be not quite as old school doom and gloom, but... oh dear. The (mild) horror fan in me got away and ran with this dark little mood piece, so it comes with a warning, and under a cut.

Please note, TS is set in the late 90s, so really no internet letting us all connect as we have done in 2020. We would have been much more on our own. ( Not a happy little ficlet, this...Collapse )

jaxomsride2 gave me the prompt Blake's 7 Avon Changing Profession, and I wasn't sure if that meant just putting him into another profession from the start, or changing it after the start of the series.

So I did both. Two ficlets, one set in an alternate first episode, the last yet one more not very serious PGP after the last episode.

(Sorry, some knowledge of canon is probably needed to have any idea what I'm scribbling about, and the second one starts with a twenty-eight-or-so year old spoiler...)

A Day in the Life...
Sometimes, when life is really too quiet and solitary even for a Grade 1 computer technician with the salary to match, Kerr wonders if he might - just might - have made a mistake taking the offer. But not often.

He now works long hours in peace and quiet, in the top-security levels of the Dome, as the senior programmer in the Justice Department. True, the company he keeps is almost entirely mechanical, but that makes it more congenial than people. And out of hours, his private apartment is on the east, upper Alpha sector: tasteful, costly, minimalist. He lives alone, and rarely socialises so living alone is unlikely to change.

Kerr has no problem with it. He does not need people after all. ( Read more...Collapse )

First done of the ficlet writing prompts I asked for is done!

fredbassett said... Oooh, wow! Primeval, please. Something with Lester and Ryan? Either slash or gen would be lovely. Prompt: "Thank you, captain. Your report was a model of brevity. As was Cutter's. Now tell me what really happened.

***

"Thank you, captain. Your report was a model of brevity. As was Cutter's. Now tell me what really happened."

There was a long silence.

"Are you sure you want to know, sir?"

"No, I am reasonably sure I do not, given the fact that Hart, Temple and Miss Maitland are all hospitalised with what - I am told - is an allergy to something which both Cutter obviously suggested that you both describe as "a previously completely unknown organism of a semi-vegetable nature", whatever that means."

"Slimy and it moves, sir." ( Read more...Collapse )

This was self-indulgence, but the topic did fit for two challenges! (I will probably use some myself, but thought you might, as I said, enjoy the pretties :) Mostly - though not all - Yuzuru Hanyu and Javier Fernandez because I’m biased (I did say self-indulgence, didn't I?)

A rather late (due to one thing or another) SG1 Alphabet Soup story, which makes me happy because it's the first thing I've finished in absolutely ages....

The prompt was 'quantum mirror' and my letter was S. I did think about bringing in Sallymarina Moonbeam, (my long time Authorial Insertion) but decided she really would probably any up dead in at least three-quarters of the realities on offer, so.... maybe another time, in another less dangerous fandom :)

Splintered

No one in this or any other reality owned up to breaking it, of course. ( Read more...Collapse )

To go with the book rec just done...? They're not from the book itself (as you can probably tell), but there are so many lovely Snoopy writing pics on the web, I couldn't resist.

Going on from yesterday's post, I also decided that a good burr up the bustle would be to join a few low-pressure icons comms; so you'll be getting the odd little collection swept and and posted here every so often.

Like these... just a few of Arthur of the Britons, Blakes 7, Magnificent 7, Merlin, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG1, The Sentinel and White Collar.
