Ah, multi-fandom writing.

Harry Potter and Het

You know, I've always sort of regretted writing Ron/Hermione.

Not the story. I like the story, though there are things I'd change about it. But if there's one pairing where I get consistently hmm... rigid?... points of view, this is it. Not just about the couple, but also "Harry wouldn't be like this" and "Ron wouldn't gamble" and "Hermione would stand by her man" and on and on, especially from one of the sites where it's posted. Most stories when I see a review I perk up, but that one? When it's coming from that particular site? I'm a bit tense every time I open one of these babies.

The Ron/Hermione crowd have very specific ideas about what they want, and in a story about Quidditch, gambling, and corruption, well, that's not what those kids like.

Come to think of it, I had the same reaction from my Harry/Cho story.

I suspect it's because I don't like writing Het and it's apparent. Both of these stories were challenges. When I write Het, I write stories where the relationship is rocky and filled with misunderstandings (which frees my characters for slash in my mind ;). For Het-fans, I imagine the lack of romance is a disappointment.

Stargate: Atlantis

Stargate Atlantis-ness... I have a story I've been posting in bits and pieces to iibnf. It's not done (because Rodney's being balky about the sex, in the middle of the sex) but I'm wondering if I should post it.

Vote!

- We want 14 pages of John/Rodney sex NOW!
- Finish first

Skating fic... I confess, I grinned when this week's Without A Trace was about a young skater. Would you believe that Caldwell's now shown up in the story? And Elizabeth (though not together)? This is a peculiar mid-point. I'm still debating whether the part with Kavanagh's worth adding or just a distraction. :D

In the meantime I'm in my own WIP hunger:

Ardhanarishvara by Auburn and Mona
Do you like genderbending, taken seriously? Yeah, me too. How 'bout some excellent writing as well as a team-fic? Have at it. *points*

Teacher's Pet by seperis
Snuggly AU where John has been turned into an 8-year-old by an alien culture. He doesn't remember any of his adult life as his team takes care of him until he can be changed back. Did I mention he's adorable?

I'm thinking I should write something for the current sga_flashfic challenge. Though first with some, cough-cough, research.


ETA: Why, do you ask? Because the current challenge contains:

The No. 1 Top All-Time Frivolous Use Of Time Travel by trinityofone

Now... where is that wild very-high rave-fic that spawned this challenge? Oh, well, never mind. At least I've been able to find the very scary (and funny):

How To Reduce Negativity by lemonbella
Oh, the pain, the pain. I think we all have lived through meetings like this.
