I Made This!
Dec. 30th, 2011 12:23 amWas going to do a link-spam of every thing I've written this year, but I decided that... No, I won't do that :D
Here's just a quick breakdown:
Total words written+posted: 104,000 (give or take a couple. I tend to round to the nearest 10)
Number of fics posted: 18
Fandoms Represented: 2 (def going to try to write some more next year)
Big Bangs Posted: 4
Total words written+posted for big bangs: 89,900 (I am in loooooove with big bangs. ALL THE BIG BANGS)
Total # of fics written for porn comment memes & # of words: 8&5,550
And though it makes me a little queasy, here's a link to the thing I wrote that I like the best. I wavered; there's 2 that I like, but this one wins on account of banter. Also, it's shorter, so anyone who wants to read it will be tortured a little less.
The Secret Waiter Job, written for AU Big Bang. Leverage Restaurant AU, Eliot/Hardison, warnings for strong language, lots of knives, and spanking. 23k, rated R.
Leverage is the hot, exciting place on the restaurant scene these days, thanks to its hot, exciting executive chef, Eliot Spencer. New hire Alec Hardison is a mild mannered, smooth talking waiter by night and a double-life-living, top secret culinary school student by day. Together, they'll cook up some sizzling dishes... both in and out of the kitchen.
So basically, if it's not a big bang or Porn Battle, I won't write it. >.< Going to expand my ficcing horizons in 2012. More fandoms, more writing for fun and pleasure, more WORDS. Yes, I signed up to "get my words out". We'll see how that goes. :D

"Check the security feed, Hardison. Find out where Eliot was before he dropped off the comm, Hardison. How did you manage to lose a grown man, Hardison," Hardison muttered under his breath while he scrolled through the ninety-one security cameras he was currently linked into at Scorpiod Scientific Unlimited. Eliot wasn't readily apparent on any of them, so he set up a triangulation on the last time Eliot's ear bud had sent or received a signal so he could try narrowing it down.
( 'I can hear you. Have you found him?' Nate said, unimpressed with Hardison's imitation of him. )

The Greater Cityopolis City Zoo is getting an elephant for the first time in their history, and with is comes the new elephant keeper. And as Parker points out, "they're elephants, so it's clearly a huge deal."


Dear Mr. Spencer,
I want to again thank you for agreeing to come on board with us here at The Greater Cityopolis Area Zoo for this momentous undertaking. I'm speaking not only on behalf of myself as zoo director, but also for our board of trustees, our staff and volunteers, our patrons and guests, and especially on behalf of the elephant we'll all be saving together.
We're all looking forward to meeting you when you arrive. If there is anything I can do to make your transition any easier, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Nate Ford
General Director
Greater Cityopolis Area Zoo

Fic: The Secret Waiter Job
Aug. 12th, 2011 11:39 amEliot Spencer was being hailed as the hottest new thing on the food scene since the oven, and while that was great for business, Hardison didn't really see what the big deal was. Yeah, the food at Leverage looked good, but Hardison wasn't convinced by that alone. Seeing was not everything. It had to taste good too. Not that he could judge the taste; he hadn't eaten anything Spencer had cooked yet, and he was expecting it to be a few more years before he could afford to eat at Leverage on his own dime. But wait staff like him sometimes got asked to be guinea pigs for new dishes or got leftovers after a service, so he figured it was only a matter of time until he found out exactly what Spencer could do and if he lived up to any of the hype.
( And Alec Hardison would be the first one to admit that he was a little weird about food. )
( And Alec Hardison would be the first one to admit that he was a little weird about food. )
The plan has seven steps, and Sam writes them all down on a diner napkin while he, Dean, and Cas have lunch.
#1 - Castiel kills all the demons
#2 - Castiel steals map from demons
#3 - Castiel follows map, finds whatever it is that the magic thingy is
#4 - Castiel gets thingy, brings it back to HQ
#5 - Sam and Dean eat pancakes, watch movies, and wait for Cas to finish with steps 1-4
#6 - Figure out what the thingy is and does
#7 - Profit (by stopping the apocalypse)
Castiel isn't thrilled, but Sam and Dean both agree it's a pretty decent plan and that's two against one.
"The beauty is in the simplicity," Dean says, slurping his coffee noisily.
( Castiel and Sam share an annoyed look. )

One of the mysteries of the universe is why Parker, of all people, gets the ability to see a soul after it departs the body of the recently deceased. They're glittery and she's Parker, so of course she starts picking them up, not knowing what they really are. Of course, she could just look in the instruction manual... but oh, no, Hardison's taken it.
Then the hellhound shows up and starts eating the doors off her cupboards, and Eliot is breaking into people's homes to threaten them with tape and knives. It's been a very stressful couple of weeks and all Parker wants is a vacation, or a nice, relaxing art theft, but now the forces of darkness (whatever that means) are bent on destroying the world. And then, if she somehow ever gets that mess sorted out, Hardison's been complaining that all his Hot Pockets taste like doom...

Fic: Always Darkest Before Dawn, Part One
Mar. 31st, 2011 10:47 amWhen it came time to write this one down in the annals of history, it would be chalked up to 'wrong place, wrong time.' Unfortunately, Parker had had no inclination of this when she went into the house, or else she probably would have made sure she was in a different place or at least a different time.
( The con of the week wasn't anything stressful or mentally challenging, at least for Parker's part. )
