There are a lot of other creators and offerings out there! All for charity.

My own offerings are at:
https://fth2019offerings.dreamwidt…

Putting up two fics 5-10k (though I don’t promise they won’t go longer ^^ )

First one is MCU, because I’d like to do a Sam/Steve/Bucky. :)

Second is anything goes for my other fandoms. TMFU/MFU, Smallville, Neko Atsume (lol), YYH... any of my fandoms that you’d like to see more from me in. :)

If you have any questions, let me know!

{cough} Yes, I've neglected this site for a really long time. A trilogy of reasons, really, mostly having to do with the fact that I haven't actually been writing much for a long time. But I am at least still around. ^^ Even if I'm still annoyed at having changed all my user names because of the darn stalker (who seems to have finally vanished off the face of the earth, thank goodness - it just never seemed to stop there for a few years o.o)

In the stuff that folks who might actually still be following this journal might be interested in, I've actually made progress on "Brothers Unbound", the next of the Not-A-Villain Clex series! Haven't forgotten about it, really! It's just, as with all of them, epic. But it's progressing along. Now if the characters will stop adding things into it that I *hadn't* planned, it might actually get done sometime this year. ^^ I'm going to try hard to get it out and then back on track for finishing the series (there's only a couple left to go).

The one thing I actually got out this year (last year) was another Marvel AllCaps got posted - well, really, the first quarter of it which I polished off and posted on it's own because I don't want to commit to actually writing the whole thing. ;p It was good enough where it was, even if the story keeps on going in my own mind.

For the point of this post, though...

The Fandom Trumps Hate auction has one day left for sign-ups!

https://fandomtrumpshate.dreamwidt…

Sorry for not posting it earlier - I've been following it more on Tumblr and haven't broken out the dreamwidth for awhile.

I love their concept - fandom donations for charity are always good things, from the early days of Sweet Charity to the Hope for Haiti auctions, and the others. I try and support where I can, in either bidding if I have the money at the time, or in works if I have the fandom time for it.

In these days, particularly in America, with so much hatred and outright nastiness and the targeting of minorities... and the people at the top of the administration allowing and encouraging it, it just is horrible. My friends and I pass political news links to each other and exclaim and are WTF that it's all happening and that people let it happen and ... it's pretty bad. And I'm not one of the targeted groups and I live in a fairly safe area with a solid liberal core all around me. With all that... now is the time for us to step up where we can. Fandom Trumps hate has chosen and vetted several charities that are not the larger ones but smaller ones where our donations can really and truly make a difference in helping to protect and assist those being targeted by this current administration. (Which is not to say the big charities don't make a difference too - I'm all for the ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center nowadays! but they don't need extra advertising - these other groups do.)

They accept for bidding:
- fic
- digital art, which includes but is not limited to gifsets, manips, moodboards, &c.
- podfics
- fanvids
- fan labor, which includes but is not limited to betaing, brit/japan/america-picking, etc.

Then, as with the other charity auction groups, the winning bidders donate to the charity of their choice (from the list or at the creator's specification), and the creators go to work.

I signed up for two fanfics on offer, 5-10k each. One Marvel Universe, All Caps (Sam/Steve/Bucky), and one anything you want of my other fandoms. We'll see how it goes. ^^

If you want to sign up too, do it now! One day left for sign ups! (Sorry again for late posting.) It's a good thing! And hey, more fandom items. ^^

Clexmas is coming!

The annual Clark/Lex Holiday Gift Exchange is upon us.

If you haven't signed up yet, please do so! Only a couple more days left, due November 8. Please let your friends know about it too, and poke them if they need poking. :)

If you've participated before and want to just copy and paste what you used before, last year and the year before are at:
https://clexmas.livejournal.com/12…
https://clexmas.livejournal.com/11…

There's also some sample sign-ups there if you need ideas.

Sign up for this year on LJ at
https://clexmas.livejournal.com/14…
or DW at
https://clexmas.dreamwidth.org/144…

or email clexmas@gmail.com with the sign-up info. :)


Posting won't be until after Christmas, going through the first couple weeks in January, semi-flexible. So there should be enough time to complete other challenges and get this one too.

Happy Clexmas a-coming!

Sorry, most of the fics were challenge fics with later reveals and I forgot to post them all here too. Plus, I think more of you are here for the Smallville, so I haven't been posting the MFU as much when they're up. But with Clexmas, there's Smallville here too, so worth a post. :)

I'm starting to get my life back. (And my health.) I told my volunteer organization I wasn't going to do it another year, and I still have a few months to go, but it's a great relief to get that off. Back to fic and fandom! Much more of an interesting and happy world.

Under a cut just because there's nine of them. o.o Plus some older ones.

( Collapse )

Winter is cold and the Clex is warm and lasting. Clexmas is back for another year of exchanges. Details and timeline on the main post. :)

After the seriousness of the last one, I had to do a quick silly one, just for the halibut.

A Mile Wide
http://archiveofourown.org/works/6…

g, gen, 760
silliness

Summary: Napoleon and Illya on vacations... UNCLE’s finest have a hard time *not* getting in trouble.

Notes: Just some brief pure fun for the halibut.

Title stolen shamelessly from Banned From Argo by Leslie Fish. “Their agents are UNCLE’s finest, and their record is their pride, but when they play, they tend to leave a trail a mile wide.” (original - *they/their = ours/our, *agents = crew *UNCLE = Starfleet - changes mine for the story relevance. and the silliness)

Not to Talk
http://archiveofourown.org/works/6…

Man From UNCLE, tv series
gen or slash, PG for theme, ambiguously darkfic, 1.5k.

In their line of work, they never talked about certain things. That didn’t mean those possibilities weren’t something they faced every day.

--

Warnings: POSSIBLE DEATH FIC – AMBIGUOUS ENDING

Notes: This is a bit of darkfic, with an ambiguous ending. Not my normal sort of cup of tea, I’ll admit. I like happier endings. However, in the middle of a recent post by Rallamajoop (a marvelous piece reviewing the UNCLE tv series for the new viewer, going over premise, characters, the slash, the appeal, 50 years on), there’s a line about “not talking about it is simply how they deal with the ever-present threat that one or both of them could die in the line of duty”. It’s just one line out of a lot of meta about many, many things... but it stuck with me. I woke up with this ficlet running through my mind and while I normally redirect the darker ones into something lighter... after it persisted for the day, I decided it had to be written. Lighter fics coming another time. And, since the ending IS ambiguous... you can choose which way you want it to go. So it doesn’t have to be... that’s just one way it might go. As always, with them.

(Also, can be read as either gen or slash - just like the series ^^)

Participated in two Valentine's challenges this year, one for MFU and one for TMFU. Posted all the Clexmas prompts but still have to write ficlets for them. I still have four days to do that. ^^

New Mission, New Trust
http://archiveofourown.org/works/6…

Man From Uncle, 2015 movie
Gen, pre-ot3 or any pairing. 4.5 k.

There’s a new mission approaching, but there are things unresolved from the old. Before they start out, Gaby wants to know if they truly can work together or not. In typical TMFU fashion, they get there in the end.

Runaway Milk Run
http://archiveofourown.org/works/6…

Man From Uncle, tv series
Gen, Illya & Napoleon friendship. 7+k.

While charting the perilous water of another Valentine’s Day, Napoleon and Illya are sent out on a milk run that ends up being not so easy as it was supposed to be.

--
I am vastly amused that they both ended up gen and g rated. LOL. Not where my mind wanted to go... but at least for the second, that was the request. I actually had to get Spikesgirl58 to read it over to make sure it was gen enough, because neither Tainry nor I could tell if I'd restrained my slashy impulses well enough. ;p

The Clexmas gift I wrote this year was for MysticMcKnight. Prompts were Super powers!Lex. Lex discovers he’s not fully human from his mother’s side. Lex decides to quit being a Luthor so he can have Clark. I used one of these as the main base and slightly snuck in the other two on the side. ^^

Originally posted Jan 10 anonymously at Clexmas.

Underhill

After many years of Superman and Luthor fighting, the end comes not as they would have expected. While Lex is dying, they reconcile. But life has one more surprise left for both of them... and the future is yet to come.

pre-slash to slash, Clark/Lex, PG-13, ~8k words

Warnings: Not actually a death fic, though it might seem like one at the start – don’t worry, everything works out in the end

Tags: Drama, Angst, Reconciliation, Future Fic, Not a death fic, Slight Silliness, crossing of tropes

I am rather stoked to say I didn't write any stocking stuffers this year. Yay. ^^ Go other Clex fans!

And I totally forgot to list my 2015 Clexmas True Love snippets here too. Yikes.
