Resisting Everything but Temptation

Day 2 - Create a fannish wish list.

This one sounds fun! And may take a while. You got all day? :)

Crossovers with my tiny fandoms. (For these, fic, art, gifsets, icons, snippets, etc. all welcome!) I'd especially love to see crossovers with Highlander or Lost Girl. At the top of my list:

• Supernatural/Lost Girl (Bo wants a threesome, naturally.)
• Highlander/Deadwood (Duncan meets Seth. ♥ And Joanie.)
• Highlander/Longmire (Henry is Immortal! Or Walt is. Or Duncan moves to Absaroka County to try and get away from it all, but brings trouble with him.)
• Highlander/Lost Girl (Bo still wants a threesome! She always wants a threesome.)
• Highlander/Jeremiah (I've always wanted to see how Immortals dealt with the Big Death.)
• Supernatural/Miracles (This has to be the most natural crossover ever.)
• Supernatural/Longmire (I would love to see Walt and Henry deal with something supernatural. And I'd love to see Dean and Sam deal with Vic.)
• Jeremiah/Miracles (again, they just go so well together)
• Highlander/Miracles (I know, I wrote it, but that doesn't mean I don't want more of Alva as an Immortal)
• All of the Highlander/Supernatural ever
• Supernatural/Jeremiah, because Jeremiah and his little brother have the same origin story as Sam and Dean, but with a twist. Actually, this might work better as a fusion.
• Highlander/Hustle/24 (This makes sense in my head, I swear.)

Hannibal AUs. Anyone have any good recs for these? Actually, I will gladly take Hannibal recs in general.

More Longmire fic. In particular, I'd love to read Walt/Vic/Henry. And vids, I need more vids!

Any kind of fanworks at all about Bobbi Morse/Melinda May. Art would be amazing.

Stories where Sam Winchester leaves the hunting life, and Dean, and finds some peace. Don't hate me, but I just want to read some stories about Sam getting out and finding happiness. Can be crossovers, or not. Anyone have any good recs?

Any kind of Jeremiah fic. Or just someone to talk about the show with.

ETA: Groundhog Day Kirk/Spock (ST:TOS) Anyone have a rec for a good one of these?

ETA2: A multifandom vid to this song. In my fantasy, it's Fast&theFurious/Leverage/Avengers/Hustle, but everyone looks at me funny when I try to explain how great it would be. Or someone to encourage me to make it. :)

ETA3: All the Amanda crossovers, but especially the one where Kurt Hummel is her student.



And all the fic/art/vids/gifsets about my femslash OTP:



Also, the one where she gets in trouble in NYC:

Artist Sign-up Post is here!

Word is they have 80 author signups, in lots of great fandoms, including Almost Human, Elementary, Supernatural (FPF and J2), Merlin, Haven, MCU, Firefly, plus some great crossovers, etc. Artist claims begin on May 31st, and posting starts on July 10th.

From the FAQ:

Is there a minimum/maximum requirement for my art?
There is no real limit, but we do ask artists to remember that the authors are writing a minimum of 7,500 and your artwork should reflect that. You can do anything you like, including banners, wallpapers, icons, mixes, picspams, etc. We also ask that when you are in contact with the author, you work with them to see if there is anything specific they would like (i.e. a wallpaper). The art is your work, but having ideas doesn't hurt!

Gotta admit I'm cautiously hopeful for the SPN season premiere tonight. Less hopeful about this week's Haven, sadly. Did finally watch the S2 premiere of Elementary; didn't love it. However, 2.02 pleased me better. I'm starting to get kind of seriously attached to Marcus Bell. Like, every time he's on screen I'm mentally pairing him with people. (Abbie from Sleepy Hollow, anyone? OMG they would make the cutest couple, and she would have him so whipped. You know who else? Amanda Darieux. OMGOMGOMG I want it. SO HOT. Likewise, Marcus/Kenzi. Freaking adorable.)

Two recs:

Unbreakable by roseveare (Haven, Duke/Nathan, NC17)
This story and its many well-deserved recs made me realize that I have a serious issue with Duke/Nathan (actual sex) set while Nathan is Troubled: namely, I don't easily believe that Duke would actually go for it—for several reasons. Before I read this story, I actually said I couldn't go there. But I gave the story a second try because so many people were saying good things about it, and okay, I'm convinced.

Plus, this is just some great fan writing. Amazing job of capturing the characters and the gestalt of Haven. I got to the end and wanted to read it again immediately, which is about the best recommendation I can make.

Mystery Dance by balder12 (SPN, Sam/Dean, specifically, fanfic for the genderswap fan film The Other Side.)
This is one of those stories that makes me say, this is what fandom is for. The Other Side gave us a fresh take on SPN canon while re-imagining the characters of Sam and Dean as they might have been; "Mystery Dance" explores the questions that The Other Side left open, and answers them in a way that pushes the reader's emotions and perceptions. It's fanfic taken to the next level, and it's worth reading even if you have never seen Supernatural—it's that powerful, and true. It also made me cry, but they were good tears.

It's been over six months since I wrote anything, ficwise, and a year since I wrote anything SPNwise, so I was scared to sign up for spnspringfling—but it's one of my favorite challenges, and I couldn't resist. Thank goodness, I got my assignment and one of the prompts grabbed me right away. I've got the story laid out and a good bit of it written already. Phew! I'm grateful for rainy Sunday nights. (ETA: I just realized, the last time I wrote SPN was for last year's spnspringfling, before those deadly ComicCon spoilers came out. Yikes.)

I'm also up to 2K words on intoabar, and maybe approaching a resolution. Thank you, words! Don't leave me.

In other news, that Orphan Black show is pretty freaking amazing so far, isn't it? Thank you to all who turned me onto it. (Who else is watching this?) And we started watching Elementary last night (finally!). I only stayed awake for the first episode and a half, but I love it already. All of you were so right about that one. I can't wait to watch the rest of S1. It's stupid how relieved I am to be watching two shows with interesting and smart lead female characters I care about.

Now, out into the wet to cut back evil blackberry bushes.
