Thoughts of a late night knitter

I like this idea and though I may not post for every challenge hope to do a few at least.

Today's challenge In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Drop a link to your post in the comments.

Three related dribbles amounting to about 600 words total - so I'm counting this as one :D Wiles, Wiley and Wiliness. Firefly, Mal/Jayne. I felt light when I wrote these and think they show they love I had for writing drabbles.

All the things that led to us and the sequel As the sparks fly upward. Chuck, Casey/Chuck. Not long fics, they started me writing in second person POV and I've never really escaped it :D

Ain't leaving. Firefly, Jayne/Kaylee. My OTP in a sad place that periodically I want to go back and clean up, but always ultimately leave it how it is.

~~~~~~

Most of the comms I frequent and my flisters are still on LJ. But just in case... I'm bookaddict43 on Dreamwidth and Archive of our own as well. So original!

I try to remember to import to Dreamwidth at least every couple of days :) And am slowly uploading fic to AO3.

Thanks to all of you who replied to my last post. You all made me feel better. *hugs flist*

Before he’d gone on his first mission one of the training sergeants had given him a piece of advice. “Find your special place,” the guy said. “A memory or place you love and go there when things get too rough. It helps if you’re captured or in trouble. You’ll be grounded and can think better and faster. It could save your life.”

He’d thought it a load of BS at the time. They’d been trained and drilled in every aspect of contact with the enemy and how to cope with it. Besides how could that work? Day dreaming wouldn’t save his or anyone else’s life.

But the first time he’d been incarcerated he’d dreamt of home. It was just like he was there, back in the happy days, back before his mother…went. The sun was setting as he and Mary surfed and ran on the beach, reds and golds adorning the sky. He could hear the soothing surf in the background and his mother calling them for dinner as his dad pulled up in the driveway. He and Mary raced across the grass and into the house and mom yelled at them to wash their hands. It was perfect…

He’d been to that place a lot over the years. Consciously thought about it; willed it to appear. When injured and in hospital, imprisoned or captured, it was his go to place. The image had given him strength and at times helped him to remain sane, and he’d fully expected it to appear again here in the prison.

Instead he got Danny. He saw Danny in the car, hands waving in agitated semaphore and voice raised; Danny in the office, brow furrowed in concentration as he waded through reports; Danny and Grace and Steve sitting having dinner on the lanai; Danny’s voice calling him and Grace to dinner as they played in the waves under the setting sun. He and Danny in their bed surrounded by love, comfort and safety. He was the stronger for it, but was puzzled and unsure. It was all he could do not to reach out to the real Danny when he appeared on visits and when he got out, it was worse.

But he beat down the urges, locked them away and resolved to be patient. Because the first image of his family, though long past, was true. So maybe the new image, his new family, his reason for waiting; might come true someday soon.

These are from my reel_startrek fic.

Jim hissed as the man went for his gun. One hand lashed out to grab his opponent’s wrist, while the other hauled his gun from its holster. The sheriff and the deputy over by the door drew theirs as well and Jim stuck his gun forcefully into the cheat’s stomach.

“See,” he turned over the wrist he was grasping and pushed up the man’s coat sleeve.

“I see,” the sheriff agreed looking at the spare cards secreted in the man’s cuffs. “Empty his pockets Jim and all of you share the money.

Although it's Monday here. I figure better late than never :)

Stolen from romankate, oddmonster, little_tristan and lots of others!!

Each Sunday, post six sentences from a writing project -- published, submitted, in progress, for your cat -- whatever.

“I’ll be taking my leave then,” I blurted it out afore Mal could keep talking, but nearly took it back when him and the others stared at me.
Those gorramn twins were right; one day Mal’s luck was going to run out, and this might be the day. What with running through Reavers and all. That was what decided me right there. I might be all kinds of stupid and do all sorts of stuff for money, but I’m not so far gone I’m gonna take on a pack of Reavers for no reason. And there ain’t a reason.

Now if only I could finish it - or anything else! :D

This year my brain came back a little (the pernicious anemia is almost under control) and though I didn't write much, I feel like I got back into fandom a bit more. There were icon contests, I joined jim_and_bones and even took part in a drabble writing competition.

These are the results...

My goal for next year is to finish my extremely late reel_startrek fic and to write more! Wish me luck!
