Beware: The Chibis Have Taken Control!

Well, here we are, again. Another year passed. It seems like I just did this for 2010 yesterday. O_o;;; I have too much going on this morning to really delve into detail about the past year, but I worked my ass off organizing this last night and I'd like get it posted.

A few little notes:
1) The four fics at the end listed as "to be revealed" are the four I wrote for Yuletide. Author reveal is in like... 30 minute, but I can't wait that long. I have to be out the door by then. So... yeah.

2) I was nowhere near as prolific this year as I was last year. I think part of that was burn-out from NaNoWriMo the year before and part was that I was just so damned busy. :-P Still, a respectable total word count: nearly 180,000 words. Not too shabby. ;)

3) Fandom spread this year was also more even. Hair beat out everyone else again for the most written for fandom, but not by nearly as much as last year. Newsies (musical) came in second, Book of Mormon third and Fushigi Yuugi fourth.

4) This year also marked a major writing milestone for me...

I wrote smut.

With a vengeance.

(NC-17 stories will be starred in case you want to avoid them.)

O_O Yes, you read that right. After years beyond count resisting, I have finally caved. As promised, Nuriko and Tasuki had the honor of being the first. Claude and Berger followed after them fairly quickly. Elder McKinley and Lucifer (Don't. Ask. Seriously. I still don't know what happened there. O_o;;;) were next, then Claude and Berger (again), then Connor and Eric (My fandom has twins. *_* ^_~), then... heh. Then, I wrote het smut. *sweatdrop* Yeah. I don't know, either. -.-;;;

5) Second major writing milestone was this: I participated in two fic exchanges this year -- the Power Rangers femslash ficathon and.... YULETIDE. OMG, I had so much fun. *_* Seriously. Read my love letter to Yuletide. If you can handle all the tail wagging, that is. ;)

Anyway, I have plenty of fic plans for the coming year. I promised smutty ending to the Book of Mormon and Newsies boys. I need to get back to cracking on the third Algea fic. I have plans/starts for several other Hair fics (and I'm seeing it twice next week in Philly, so muse... get ready for a jolt ^_~). Yuletide opened up a few new fandoms to me that I hadn't considered (or more accurately, had forgotten I was considering), and whetted my appetite for more. I also have a few fics in my notebook that weren't included in the year end meme because I don't have counts on them, but they're short, little things. Only a few small handwritten pages, so... eh. Probably bumps the word count over 180,000, though... eh. Maybe I'll type 'em up and count 'em later. ;)

Aside from that, I'm still mourning the loss of my crashed hard drive and now that I'm slightly more financially secure, I can consider getting that recovered. *cheers* But I seem to have done OK without it, regardless, wouldn't you say? ^_^

( And now... what you all came here for. )

Oh, one last thing I forgot. I'm driving to PA today, but I will get my four Yuletide fics shifted over to LJ when I can. If you want to know what they are before I move them, you can find them on the AO3 (link is on the right). Author reveal should happen in another 10 minutes and you can find them, then. ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!! :D

So... yeah. You read that right. Apparently I'm writing smut, now. O_O;;; I wrote Tasuki and Nuriko their promised fic and they seemed fairly satisfied, so after seeing the Hair Tour this weekend (#9!) and the glorious love that is Steel and Paris' Berger and Claude... *deadpan* ...let's just say I was inspired. When I got home, I immediately had fic thoughts in my head, because holy cow, the scene before the Be-In... Josh and Paris were killing me yesterday. Killing. Me. O_O *coughs* So, I sat down to write that fic which was to be full of angsty goodness.

And, well... wrote this instead. It's still full of angsty goodness and it takes a few liberties with that scene... *coughs* ...but now there's at least porn to go along with the angst. As this is my first publicly posted NC-17 story... any input you guys have would be appreciated. Really. *blush* *runs away*

Title: Give Up All Desires
Fandom: Hair, the musical: 2009 Revival/Tour
Pairing: Claude/Berger
Rating: NC-17 -- please, if it's illegal to read this where you are... just don't, OK? If you do, I take no responsibility for it.
Word Count: 3,549
Warnings: Slash (and holy cow, I really mean it this time), angst

Disclaimer: Neither the musical nor the boys belong to me, if they did they'd be groping each other on sta--. *pause* *blinkblink* Huh. Look at that... they do. *eg* :D ((Hair was written by James Rado and Gerome Ragni with music by Galt MacDermot.))

Summary: Claude's eyes, now as dilated as Berger's, locked gazes with the younger boy, asking questions for which Berger had no answers, questions which Berger wouldn't even have thought to ask. And with Berger's each successive failure to respond, he felt Claude slip away from him a little more.

Short post, too tired.

I wrote 2178 words of fanfic (in a fic notebook while working at the math tutoring center, no less) today that will eventually be FY porn, if you two will shut the hell up and start with the sex, already! That's just over 3300 words altogether... with no sex. Good grief.

Nuriko: O_O Dude... we're getting there.

Tasuki: I can almost taste it!

R-chan: *grumbles* Well, you're not getting there fast enough. Pay attention.

:-P Now, exhausted. Going to bed.

(And what sucks the most? In spite of how well this fic is going and that I'm mainly writing it so I can write it for Claude and Berger... I'd rather have been writing Hair fic, today. That second Algea sequel is just begging to get started. *eg*)

Claude: No, it is not! Leave me the hell alone, already!

Berger: *grabs at Claude* Would you calm down? She all but promised us sex in this story!

Claude: O_O;;; What??

Berger: *twitch* Weren't you listening? She all but promised us sex. We want her to write this one. Pay attention!

Claude: Seriously, man... I don't know. As much as I love you... I'm not sure sex is worth another of those whumpfests.

Berger: *rae* Whumpfest?

Claude: *scowls* Well, what would you call them?

Berger: *snorts* I don't know man, but probably not that.

Claude: *throws hands in the air* You know what? Now I'm exhausted.

R-chan: -.-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Claude: Yeah. Exactly. *wanders off*

zoicite wins at iconing. This is not news. *stares at her pretty new icon some more* The quote on this one, in case you can't read it, is, "And of course, I gave them fire." Love! *_* Lovelovelove! *_*

Saw the MDQ understudies at the mall today. Very much fun! Dan Mills is adorable, both as himself and as Carl Perkins. ^_^ Glad I got to see him do the part again. ^_^ And Lance's understudy has a gorgeous voice, too. As much as I never want to miss Lance in the show (Ack, it's the Gavin in Hair dilemma all over again!), I'd love to see what he does with the whole part. *_* And, dude... he totally fangirled with me over Lance in the Last Starfighter when I talked to him afterwords... and he has a shirt with Lance on it from that movie that he wears to work! XD Awesome! XD

OK, what else...? I'm down another jeans size. ^_^ Think I gained weight, though. Not sure how that works. *shrugs* Not sure I care. ;) Then again, the way I've been eating the last two weeks... yikes. I deserve to gain weight. *chuckles* Worth every damned bite, though. ^___________^ And my mom's been holding out on me! Apparently, she knows the secret to the Priscilla pistachio cupcake! So, we're going to have pistachio cake for my birthday and I'm going to find a recipe for pistachio buttercream that I can lighten up a little and put that, confetti sprinkles and edible glitter on top. I will have Priscilla Cake for my birthday!! :D :D (Don't worry, I'll take pictures. ^_~)

Finally...

R-chan: *sits Nuriko and Tasuki down and scowls*

Nuriko: *fidgets*

Tasuki: *looks like he may say something, then settles down*

R-chan: *crosses arms over her chest* Whatever the problem is, I don't care. Just sort it out between you and then let me know what you decide. I'm trying to help you out, but you've got to meet me halfway, all right?

Nuriko/Tasuki: *nod solemnly*

R-chan: Good. I'm glad that's settled. *pause* *frowns* *finally continues* And for the love of all that's... erm... unholy, I guess? Please don't sort it out two minutes before I have to go to my parents for dinner. That... it just isn't nice when you do that to me. Especially this time, as it'll have me blushing my way through dinner. *blush*

Nuriko/Tasuki: *more nods*

R-chan: OK. Good. That's... good. OK.

Nuriko: OK.

R-chan: Right.

Nuriko: *sweatdrop* I'll... just drag him off and try to get this sorted out, OK?

R-chan: *blushing harder* That... that might be a good idea.

Nuriko: *drags Tasuki off*

R-chan: *whimpers* *drops head into her hands* What the hell have I gotten myself into?

Not totally thrilled with this icon, but it's one more to put in rotation until I make a better one. As before, feel free to take it if you like (though why you'd want to, I'm not sure), but please credit and let me know if you do. ^_^


Gavin Creel as Prometheus, Prometheus Bound
Starring one of my favorite lines in the show, the other being: "You deliver your message to one who already knows it," in response to Hermes' listing off of Zeus' plans for further tortures to try to bully Prometheus into telling his secrets. ^_^

And in other news... I think Nuriko wants to be on top and it's fucking me up. *scowls* Taking another stab at this thing.

Edit (10:21 PM): Yes! I finally have Nuriko in the right frame of mind to go after Tasuki. *rubs hands together gleefully* Let's do this thing. ^___________~

You've all heard me squealing and blushing for years at the very thought of writing sex. Well... I've become aware (thanks to all my Hair stories) that I'd like to get over that. The problem is two-fold:

1) I have no practical experience. I am not a gay man, nor am I ever likely to be one. Therefore, everything I know about gay sex I've gleaned from other first or (more likely) second-hand accounts. That makes me extremely uncomfortable. I don't like feeling under-knowledged about a subject for which I intend to write.

2) I promised Nuriko a loooooooong time ago that out of love for him, he and Tasuki would get my first lemon. Then I realized that it would have to happen towards the end of OB (if not as an epilogue O_o) and my rewrite on that SOB has seriously stymied my efforts.

...Which, as it turns out, has been a really convenient excuse.

( Cut for babbling about erectile writing dysfunction and THE HAIR TOUR!! )

Nuriko: O. M. G--.

Tasuki: Did... did I really just read that right?

Nuriko: *nodnod* *wobble eyes* *glomps the fic author*

R-chan: *blush* *bluuuuuuush* *BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH* *little voice* I'll try, OK? That's all I'm promising.

Nuriko: I don't care. I'll take it!

R-chan: *twitch* Fine. Then help a girl out! Stop talking at each other and start sexing each other up, already!

Nuriko: *twitch* I'm trying!

Tasuki: *sweatdrop* Um... yeah. This one's my bad. I'll work on it.

Nuriko/R-chan: *sweatrain*

Edit: And... 2 1/2 hours later, I still have no paper, I have almost 2000 words of FY fic... and still no sex. O_o;;; At least I've gotten them through the talking and they seem to be ready to get down to business. Now if only I wasn't too bloody exhausted to type. Neeeeeeed sleeeeeeep. *thud*
