Fics, Recs, Various

[thisbluespirit]

So, after I started feeling a little better a couple of weeks ago, I gradually picked up some things I'd already finished/nearly finished and started poking at them & as a result have posted most of them in the appropriate places, but not linked here.

1. A Ruth Evershed Character Manifesto (Spooks) for het_reccers (containing 13 recs, much blathering about the greatness of Ruth and ships and possible ships, plus some pics and gifs). (I've been chipping away at this for at least a year now.)


2. I looked at my dw_guestfest WIP and found it was much more complete and okay than I'd thought and tidied it up. It's here:

Self-Made Man (956 words) by lost_spook
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Doctor Who (1963)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: The Kandyman & Gilbert M
Characters: Gilbert M (Doctor Who), The Kandyman (Doctor Who)
Additional Tags: Serial: s149 The Happiness Patrol, Backstory, Canonical Character Death, Community: dw_guestfest, Community: trope_bingo
Summary: "Close to the Kandyman, were you?" / "I made him." Gilbert M and the Kandyman.


3. Someone reminded me that I once wrote a crossover fic for intoabar, which at the time I defaulted on due to being too ill to cope with the editing from my beta. I poked around my memory stick full of fic and found it and the beta-notes (which weren't actually difficult; I was just that ill back then) and posted that too:

Bar-Room Brawl (2512 words) by lost_spook
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Downton Abbey, Doctor Who (1963)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Tegan Jovanka, Tom Branson, Fifth Doctor, Vislor Turlough
Additional Tags: Crossover, Community: intoabar, Walk Into A Bar, Aliens, Fights, 1920s
Summary: Tegan Jovanka walks into a bar… and meets Tom Branson!


4. And then I did manage to finish typing up a thing for runaway_tales, which is also filling a square for trope_bingo (au: historical), and I think most things are now at least back to my usual sort of hit and miss abilities. \o/

Midnight Escapade (All ages, 1905 words. Edward Iveson/Julia Graves, Christy Graves, Amyas Harding.) It's a gratuitous Regency AU that I wrote at Christmas when I was reading too many terrible Regency romances.

Wow, you have been busy! Meanwhile I've been churning out fics from old RPs... some of which are just WTF-worthy but still good.

[thisbluespirit]

Not really - I just fished out a few things that were already done from months or years ago, but I am back to typing up some bits again now, happily. :-) Good luck with yours!

Thanks! I'm kind of pleased most of my fics seem to include random singles from Doctor Who, just because of the fan reaction to Kaftan, Toos etc actually having fic.... even if Norna-fic is still sadly lacking.

Excellent! It's great to know that you're feeling a bit better, and that you're starting to feel more able to get things done. Posting fic again is definitely positive progress. :)

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! :-)

Lots of things! I'm happy to hear you're getting better:) I'm not ill and... not done much!

[thisbluespirit]

Well, we all have to take time to just be. Good luck with whatever you're trying to do, though!

Thanks! Shakespeare may get his birthday fic after all, though it is confusing jumping from writing "And now all my enemies will die, hoorah!" to a less disturbing (well, nobody dies) shippy fic, which has too much info-dumping.

[thisbluespirit]

:loL:, I'm sure you could combine the two! ;-)

[liadt]

I would if I could! Or perhaps not;p
