Ri-ight. Because I really needed yet another fandom. *insert much rolling of eyes here*
But what can you do when the muses latch on to a show where the characters speak to you and the canon leaves a) something to be desired in the way it ends and b) lots of leeway for interpretation and missing scenes and sequels and prequels? At least this isn’t the bad!fic AU the muse originally demanded…
Currently listed in my singles archive, but I suspect I’ll need a separate setup soon. *sigh*

Summary: Livestock has gone missing in New Mexico for some time. When people start disappearing as well, John Winchester decides it’s time to take a closer look.

This was written for the ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
spook_me ficathon, with the prompts space monster, Village of the Damned and Bloody Pit of Horror. It was a hard story to write, and for the longest time I didn’t think I would make the deadline at all.
First, there was no inspiration whatsoever. None of the prompts sparked, and I really didn’t see how I could make those prompts come together (fortunately, spook_me is a laid-back challenge where only one prompt was required so I gave up on the idea of using all three rather quickly). Then, I wanted to do three thousand different things in the same story (hint at Sam’s powers; explain his fear of clowns; have real aliens; have a really scary space monster with horns and claws).
The only thing that was clear from early on was that I wanted to have a wee!Sammy. Don’t ask why; it was just what the story wanted!
When the first draft was done, I really hated it. I had changed tack several times during the writing, and it was a mess. Fortunately, tanaquispn convinced me to let her read it, and then convinced me that it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought. With renewed vigor and after a few days’ leaving it be, I went back with scalpel and glue, and the second draft showed a much more coherent story than it had seemed before.
I was on to something! After that, it was merely a matter of finetuning: dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s and putting the finishing touches on it before sending it back to tanaquispn for her red pen special–which she delivered beautifully 
And lo and behold, I had a story on the eve of the deadline.

Title: If It Looks Like A Duck
Rating: Teen

Warnings: None

Word count: 987
Summary: If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck. Or is it? Jennifer gets a package from Earth. And Ronon gets confused.

*Sighs* Tanaqui has finally managed it: corrupting me enough that I did write another Stargate Atlantis fic. So that now I have two (plus a crossover drabble) published, and it requires a whole archive of its own.
Anyway, blame for this story also goes to Juno, who once again pointed out silly adult toys that one can buy on line.

Title: The Spa Experience
Rating: Adult
Characters: Dean/OFC
Warnings: Smut

Word count: 3,100
Summary: Hunting a black dog on a cold, wet night is not Dean’s idea of fun. But every once in a while, the perks of the job more than make up for the drawbacks.
***
Oopst, I totally forgot to announce last week that I posted this!
This story was inspired by the smudgy look of a newly crawled-out-of-his-grave Dean in Supernatural 4.01, Lazarus Rising. Tanaqui and I agreed that a filthy Dean still looked pretty damn good. And then one thing led to another. Like imagining more dirty!Dean. With hot showers, and back washing… And smut.

Summary: With the right incentive, even Dean will have a use for iPods.
***
Basically, I blame juno_magic for this one, even if she didn’t intend to spawn plot bunnies. But she pointed out this page (warning: NWS!) while my muse was in naughty!Dean mode. And then there was that scene with Dean and Sam’s iPod in 401… and one thing just led to another.
o0o
And don’t forget: the deadline for submitting prompts to 3some_ficfest is this Tuesday, September 30. We have some awesome suggestions for threesomes in various fandoms already, but since there can never be enough plot bunnies, we could do with some more! Leave your prompts here.

Putting tanaquispn and me together in an online chatroom is a dangerous undertaking… Not only does it sometimes lead to odd (but awesome!) fic, now it’s even resulted in a Threesome Fic Fest!
3some_ficfest is a multi-fandom, prompt-based challenge to provide fandom (and the world at large) with some great threesome fic. Whatever mix of gender, species and fictional universe gets you going, it’s welcome as long it comes in triplicate (except for RPS/RPF).
Full rules and FAQ are here.
So, go forth and prompt! No sign-ups needed, no hard deadlines, just fun, fic, and threesomes.
Also, feel free to pimp the community in your own journal, or wherever you think people would be interested. We even have some stealable icons you can use, right here.
We’re hoping for lots and lots of amazing stories about those hot, cool threesomes. Because the more, the merrier, and you know what they say: All Good Things Come In Threes

Title: Two Odd Ducks
Rating: General
Characters: Sam, Dean, OMC
Warnings: None
Spoilers: None
Word count: 1,900
Summary: Ever since they first arrived at the monastery, something about Father Parelli and Father Jerrod had been a little off.
***
Yay, the kamikazeremix fics have been revealed! So I can finally post mine in my archive and point you to it. The story I was assigned hinged heavily on the Sam/Dean slash element, with the actual case only hinted at. There were several directions I could have taken this: work out the case fic elements—either what happened before, or during the original story—, write an epilogue type story from Sam’s POV including hard slash, or re-tell from another POV than the original.
After some debating and toying with those ideas, I started leaning toward an outsider POV story, something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. But what really cinched it was this:
“Father Parelli kept fingering his collar as if it didn’t fit well and chafed him, while Father Jerrod jumped every time someone addressed him by name, giving the speaker a startled, guilty look, like he expected God to strike him down any second over some perceived sin.”
Once I had that, I had my angle. The rest was just juggling timelines and details, and far more researching of Catholic Mass than ever made it into the story.

So, yesterday the kamikazeremix fics went live. They’re still anonymous, so I can’t yet pimp the story I wrote, but I can point you in the direction of the story that was written for me, based on my Supernatural fic Triplicity. I have to say, the remixed version went into a direction I never anticipated. But of course that’s the entire point of a remix: surprise!
And if one crazy challenge wasn’t enough, the evil (yes…) tanaquisga (now also known as tanaquispn, for which I suppose I’m to blame ) pointed me to a Halloween challenge at spook-me. So I have now signed up to write a Supernatural story with a Monster from Space as the creature… 
Well, what’s the point of a challenge if I’m not challenging myself, eh?
Finally, I’ve gotten around to putting together an archive to collect my single story fandoms: fandoms for which I’ve only written one piece of fiction so they don’t warrant an archive of their own. The color scheme still leaves something to be desired, but we’ll get around to that some day…

Title: Walking The Plank
Rating: Adult
Characters: Kilmer/Frankie
Warnings: references to rape; hurt/comfort; “healing” sex
Spoilers: None
Word count: 2,500
Summary: A mission goes sideways, with terrible consequences. Frankie appeals to Kilmer to help her deal with the fall-out, and despite his better judgment, he can’t resist her plea.
***
One quiet Sunday morning, I told tanaquisga I had written a post-rape, hurt/comfort, healing sex fic for an obscure and long-since-canceled show, and all of it had been done “before breakfast”. She nearly packed up and ran for the hills, but was brave enough to offer looking it over, ask difficult questions and offer up suggestions, even though she didn’t know the fandom.
A couple of rewrites later, and what was initially a plot bunny for a badfic plot executed in a not-entirely-badfic manner had been turned into a serious story dealing with difficult subject matter.
Now, if only there was someone out there still reading Threat Matrix fic…

Title: Altered States
Author: tanaquisga
Rating: Teen
Author’s summary: AU for 3×14 Tao of Rodney. What if Rodney didn’t get zapped by an “Ascension machine” but by something that manipulated his DNA in a quite different way? Prompted by a chance conversation with the evil scribblesinink.
***
Ignoring the fact that tanaquisga calls me “evil” (I’m not evil! I just happen to mention… things… sometimes), I had so much fun following its progress as she was writing this story that I’m totally tickled I can finally rec it! Rodney’s transformation is handled brilliantly, not an easy task since we both discovered that he actually displays quite a lot of traits similar to the creature he’s turning in to! Yet, the progressive changes to his physique and behavior are obvious, recognizable, and subtle at the same time. A hard balance to strike, but tanaquisga did an amazing job. She also knows her characters well, which becomes clear in the small yet totally fitting guest appearances by the other team members.
Even if you’re not an SGA fan, I would suggest you give Altered States a try; without giving away too much of the plot, I know the subject matter alone will go down well with many of my flist…!
