( The gray March day turned to warm spring as the sun broke through the clouds. Johnny turned up his greatcoat collar as the wind gusted. While the temperature was slowly rising, the wind still had bite. He gratefully ducked into The Haverill Arms, an old but respectable hotel in a slightly shabby section of Chicago. )

Author’s Notes: July 27th is the 60th anniversary of the cease-fire in the Korean War. North and South Korea have never signed a peace treaty so have technically been at war since 1950. And now North Korea is doing its customary saber-rattling for the umpteenth time.

Hi, luvs! Just thought I'd dash off a ficcish update as I'll be off-line most of the day tomorrow. :)

Profic:

First section: Waiting for the second round of edits to be returned.

Second section: First draft complete.

Third section: Begun first draft.

Fanfic:

Rainbow's Freedom: diligently revising/typing Arc 9's chapters! Twenty-eight more to post!

12_stories Mel/Johnny Table: work on the remaining prompts.

Stories Posted: 5

Stories Written (Need Revising/Typing): 6

Stories To Be Written: 1

Essays for

superhero_muses: First drafts written but need revising/typing.

marvel_bang: In beta. Rough draft sent to mods.

Another installment of The Soldier And The Scientist series: is currently stalled. :(

Sequel to Sunlight-On-The-Sea I: Recluse: is currently stalled. :(

avenger_kink: fill completed. Just need time to tweak it then post!

Special fic: currently being written. :)

The Dark Knight Rises one-shot: written and being revised/typed.

Halloween Story for my 2012 DCU Fic/Art Halloween Challenge: currently being written. A bit of a logjam but hopefully will loosen soon!

Halloween Story for

clexmas Super Sexy Scary Challenge: in the planning stages. Prompt claimed!

Current Mood: geeky
Current Location: MCU; DCU; Smallville

Hi, luvs! The first draft of my

marvel_bang is finished! *happy dance* I'm not sure of the word count yet since I have to type up the remaining pages, but I'm guessing it's around 20,000, maybe more. And I just finished a section of my profic (the whole project might top out around 200,000 when it's finished) so that's another happy dance! ;)

Both kink memes,

avengerkink and

tdkr_kink, have closed their rounds. The former will open Round 11 in three days and the latter Round 2 in two weeks.

I'm going to finish typing my

marvel_bang fic and work on a one-shot for The Dark Knight Rises. I may start typing up my languishing Mel/Johnny stories for my

12_stories Claims Table. They're written but not edited or typed yet. No hurry on those as very few people seem interested. *shrugs*

Of course more chapters of Rainbow's Freedom will be coming your way! We're almost at the halfway point of this final arc! :)

I'll be working on the new Halloween Challenge so keep your eyes on this journal for an announcement soon! I hope there will be cross-challenging with the 2012 DCU Fic/Art Angels Challenge. ;)

Hi, luvs! A reminder that the 2012 DCU Fic/Art Angels Challenge runs ‘til December 31, 2012.

I’m not sure if I’ll be hosting a new Challenge this summer but if not, there’s always the Halloween Challenge that will be posted in August and set to begin in September. ;) I will probably keep the same format as the abundance of prompts seems to work very well. I haven’t decided whether or not to host the same Challenge for Public Enemies fandom. I would love to see more than just a few people participate! C’mon, Fedora Fans, start writing!

( The next several hours passed in a haze for Mel. He ignored the same questions that were shouted at him, pain flaring in his side as Reinecke hit him again and again. Dizzy and weak from hunger, he felt himself slipping away. A slap to the head brought him back to a harsh reality. )

Author’s Notes: Written for the 2012

dark_fest Challenge. Prompt: Any Fandom (Public Enemies), Any Characters (Mel/Johnny): I loved him so much I couldn’t let him live without me.

( He loved Johnny. He found him exciting and funny and charming. He knew that Johnny loved him, but he also knew that what he had said to him was the truth: they were enjoying a whirlwind, clandestine romance but a long-term relationship would never work. )

I realized that I hadn’t done a ficcish update in quite a while. Mostly due to nothing much going on, but there is some stuff to talk about. :)

I’m close to the end of posting Arc 8 of Rainbow’s Freedom and hope to start posting Arc 9 pretty soon after that. I’d guess that 2012 will see Arc 9 chapters scattered throughout the year. Then that’s all she wrote, folks! ;)

I have stuff in my notebooks from 2010 and 2011 that I could work on (even one from 2009, I think). The Valentine’s Day holiday is inspiring me, and I’ve got quite a few stories done for the

12_stories Mel/Johnny claim. I’ve posted 3, have 6 either written or in the process, and 3 to still be written. I claimed a prompt over at

dark_fest and have begun work on that.

The Steve/Diana story that fills my last prompt for the

dcu_freeforall claims table is finished but needs a lot of work, so it’ll be awhile before I post that. I ended up with 8 chapters so it’ll be a good, long read for Steve/Diana fans. :)

I am still in a writing funk. Having only a handful of projects to work on isn’t much for me. I’m also kind of listless. Real life crap, mostly. Bleah.

Hi, luvs! I hope your Thanksgiving went well. Mine was quiet but very nice. The menu was turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, green beans almondine and cranberry sauce with an appetizer of salad and rolls. No room for pumpkin pie! ;)
