caffeine diary

Dear author,

I am am delightfully bizarre.

No.

Really.

Dear author: I am delightfully bizarre, or, seven years of ficathon sign-ups.

I am easy to please. I like porn, I like romance. I like humor, I like srs bsns world building or character studies. I like magical realism and AUs and tropes and ridiculousness and ridiculous premises taken absolutely seriously, wedding fic and curtain fic and kidfic and futurefic and nostalgia fic and crossovers and fusions.

I like femslash. A lot.

Maggots squick me. So does sounding (the sexual practice).

EDIT: A random list of words, phrases, and concepts that are exciting to me, should you want additional inspiration. They are all completely optional:

wings, glitter, princesses, letter-writing, a day at the beach, writer's block, lists, studying for a test, revisiting childhood memories, awkward holiday meals, chosen family, polyamory, tryptophan-induced sleepy snuggling, pillow fights, making dinner together, art projects, sewing, fabric, fancy dress parties, cooking/baking/potion-brewing, sharing a tiny bathroom and navigating brushing/flossing/getting ready for the day without bumping into each other, doing the shopping, animal companions, committed introverts and their partners who respect them, abuse of power, adults respecting children...

And kink/pornwise:
caning, spanking, discipline, cross-gen relationships, student/teacher relationships, did I mention abuse of power, biting, pain, petplay, ageplay, watersports, forced femme, strap-ons, awkward sex, oral sex, fashion-as-kink, classroom sex, outdoor sex, playing footsie in public, being so turned on they can't even make it to bed, awkward discovery by inappropriate parties (parents, children, students), characters who know what they want and are proactive about getting it, people being loudly bossy in bed

/EDIT

Requests:

1. Baby-Sitters Club
Characters: Kristy Thomas, Mary Anne Spier, Stacey McGill, Claudia Kishi.
Optional Details what are optional:

I love femslash. Any number of girls, any era, any combination, any rating.

I request BSC almost every time I sign up for a panfandom ficathon, because it is the fandom of my heart, 100%, since I was six years old. There is no childhood ruining possible -- write me any kink on the kink_bingo list, and I will love you. Write me fluffy fluffy G-rated handholding when the girls themselves are six, and I will love you. Write me pining and longing and unrequited love for straight bff, and I will love-and-hate-and-love you. Write me same-sex-marriage-is-legal-in-Connecticut-AND-California bicoastal weddingfic and I will love you. Write me AUs where they're princesses, nuns, pirates, or puppies, and I will love you.

I requested these four characters because they're the core of what I love about the BSC, but they aren't binding. Tossing in the other girl baby-sitters (Dawn, Shannon, Mal, Jessi, Abby) would be fine, and I ship Stacey/Charlotte too. Twosomes, threesomes, etcsomes are all fine. I OTP the best friend sets, but mixing and matching is also cool. I use the BSC tag for tagging all BSC babble, of which there has been a lot over the years. Not particularly interested in het ships in this fandom.

2. The Cat Ate My Gymsuit - Paula Danziger
Requested character: Barbara Finney
Optional details what are optional:

I read this book to pieces as a child.

I'd love anything about the compromises Ms Finney makes and the ones she's unable to make (for example. Ms Finney is a lesbian or bisexual woman, but chooses to closet about that so that she can continue to teach and share feminist and progressive values with her students -- but any direction you want to take that would be fine). Or anything showing Ms Finney interacting with Marcie (including, but definitely 100% not required, femslash).

As it says in the optional details. Not particularly interested in het ships in this fandom.

3. Discworld
Requested character: Esmerelda "Granny" Weatherwax
Optional details what are optional:

Things I'd love: a witches adventure, with any set of three (or an awkward attempt at a coven of a different size). A headological piece about Granny Weatherwax at any era in her life. Granny acting on her own to do what's Right. Granny acting on her own and not doing what's Right. Granny/Nanny femslash. Granny/Tiffany femslash. Granny trying to wrangle witches who insist on femslashing when they should be focusing on their responsibility. Something darkly humorous. Something straight-up completely ridiculous. Etc.

Again, as it says in the optional details. Explicitly stating that Esme/Lily is okay. Not particularly interested in het ships in this fandom, particularly for Granny Weatherwax.

4. As Time Goes By
Requested characters: Jean Pargetter, Lionel Hardcastle
Optional details what are optional:

Jean/Lionel was one of my very first OTPs. Anything about them, any rating, from any era, would be delightful.

This show gave me a permanent kink for long-separated lovers reunited, so the nostalgia longing pining thing hits me deep in the gut. I love this pairing because there's that bittersweet piece with the present-day relationship in which there is happiness and joy together. Not particularly interested in pairings other than this one, but if you want to write Lionel as a woman (cis or trans) that would be fine.

++

Thank you so much for writing for me! If you are unsure about anything, questions can go through the mods or through hermionesviolin, my bff, who knows me with a knowing that's true.

Fandom: Baby-Sitters Club
Pairing: Kristy Thomas/Mary Anne Spier
Medium: colored pencil
Content notes: Characters are underage in canon but aged up in image. No other standard notes apply. Image is NWFW.

Notes: For kink_bingo's "object penetration" square. Part of a tiny bingo. Very sketchy (hence mini) and bb's first fanart.

I wrote 0 treats, but I had a lovely lovely lovely Christmas Eve service and then woke up this morning to lovely lovely lovely Stacey/Charlotte fic for Yuletide. (Well, first I woke up to open the physical gift that I got from Mrs. S, but then an hour later I got to come here and unwrap "Your Words in My Memory." YAY!

And in half an hour I get to leave for church again. :)

[Spoilers: BtVS "Graduation Day"

( Read more... )

Also, I remembered two other major fannish accomplishments from my exceptionally long haitus: I read A Song of Ice and Fire (and realized I'd been calling it "Song of Fire and Ice" for something like three years. Whoops.) And I read most Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderings (Farseer, Liveship Traders, and Tawny Man; I think I'll leave the Rain Wilds until the series is complete). I bet you'll never guess who my favorite character is?!

Ten minutes till I have to leave for work. Tonight is dinner with my ex-mother-in-law (yes, I am going through with it, to those people who may've wondered). I wish I could arm myself with something more powerful than prayers. Like maybe a machete. Or a magic want that punches people in the face (hat tip to Elizabeth). At least I have a skirt! I've been dressing up all week, partially because I'm out of shorts and jeans, but also because I would like to get a chance to wear all the girly clothes I have stockpiled. I'm even wearing earrings.

Books I'm in the middle of:
Baby-Sitters Club: The Summer Before by Ann M. Martin. I am reading this slowly, partially to savor it, partially to ward off nostalgia bees. And partially because I think the epic lgbtfest plotbunny I had (not that I posted it for lgbtfest) is going to get jossed worse than it already is. But it's really good in a lot of ways.

Adult Children of Abusive Parents: A Healing Program for Those Who Have been Physically, Emotionally, or Sexually Abused by Steven Farmer. I kind of stalled in the middle of reading through the This Is What You Can Do part.

The Runaway Dragon by Kate Coombs. Princess pastiche.

Flora Segunda by Ysabeau Wilce. Not sure if I like it enough to read further.

Fly By Night by Frances Hardinge. Slytherin hero and her Slytherin companion!

Shannon's Story by Nola Thacker. I don't think I actually read this in my former BSC-reading days.

And that's it. Time for work. Where I'm in the middle of listening to The Giver by Lois Lowry and next up is So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld (which I recently read in paper and ink form).

Title: "What Bisexuals Do In Bed"
Fandom: Baby-Sitters Club
Pairing: Abby Stevenson/Dawn Schafer
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers/Timeline: Through Abby's arrival with minor California Diaries references.
Disclaimer: Ann is God; I'm just her slave.
Notes: Yuletide Treat for escritoireazul in yuletide 2008. Originally posted here.
Summary: It turns out Dawn and Abby have a lot to talk about.
Wordcount: 500 (Quintuple drabble plus section headings).

( Dawn was sitting cross-legged on Claudia's bed )

I dreamed that the girlfriend and I were finally catching up on Stargate: SG-1 and we started right in the middle of S... 9? 10? Or something.

Anyhow, it opened with MShanks and BBrowder (okay, okay, Daniel and Cameron, but srsly my brain was parsing it as the actors) in the middle of having sex. Like, really, really screen-meltingly hot naked-and-groping (but without any actual Bits because then Skiffy couldn't air it, yeah?) sex.

Like, I would be catching up on SG-1 NOW if this were true.

Sigh.

(Then the dream digressed into this whole... Baby-Sitters Club [there was CUDDLING WITH MARY ANNE!]/kidnapped-by-my-grandparents tropical vacation with fantasy elements [ghost puppies?] and Claudia designing outfits and like, painting her jeans black [and Claudia was FRELLING GORGEOUS; her hair is like a dream come true] and I don't even know.]

oxoniensis's porn battle has reached Round Five! Prompt collection is going on right now.

Read the rules carefully, or you might accidentally write a dozen Baby-Sitters Club requests that are not in compliance with their rules. And I totally wanted them aged up, for the record. All right. Everyone's over sixteen in all my other fandoms, I think.

( unsuitable BSC prompts, for my records )
