xf_drabble has another challenge- use the title of any season 1 episode and write a drabble. It does not actually have to have anything to do with the episode in question.

I have fic'd.

ecio eiectum

Woke up thinking about that Nightwing story "August". Starting thinking about how you could write a SPN AU that was a universe crossover with Batman.

John Winchester = Batman - World's Greatest Demon Hunter - has major issues
Dean = Nightwing - World's Second greatest Demon hunter- has issues too
Sam = Robin (Tim Drake) - talented but whiny

I am a crack head.

Also, was thinking about writing a Sliding Doors-style AU for Batman/Nightwing. What if Dick's parents hadn't died- would he have still ended up with the Bat? I would use that parallel story thing that the movie used and have them converge (or maybe not, depending on how the story started to unfold). I don't know.

I'm still on the Bludhaven e-mail list but haven't read a single post in years. BUt I'm going to have to track down that August story. Anyone have a link?

So, the big reveal is today and I can claim my yuletide story. I'm not sure how I got this prompt, if I really clicked House of Wax or if it was a mistake- I do get delusions of grandeur during yuletide so who knows.

But, anyway, I chose to write in the House of Wax fandom and I chose to write twincest. Yeah, exactly. Being in SPN fandom made it a lot easier to slide down that slippery slope. Hee.

So, I porned for yuletide and I've got it linked up here. This is my first serious porning- I touched on it lightly back in the popslash days but hadn't really gotten down and dirty, so to speak. So, I would love any feedback from more experienced (ahem) porn writers as to how I did and recommendations for the future.

I really liked writing this and think I could play around more in this universe- it may have even given me a certain fondness for the Douche Bag, er, CMM.

3) Fic Rec for als_wonderland:

Missed the Saturday dance by Zoetrope- This has been recc'd elsewhere but I was trying to think of the name of this on Thursday for Al and I couldn't remember it but someone I adore just added it to a rec page and I was all, "Yeah!". So, anyway, for Al and anyone else who missed this the first go 'round, this is a multi-media story using various manner of media to tell a Stargate:Atlantis AU story. It takes place during World War II and that's all I'm going to say other than Al, I expect you to read this and get back to me. *grins*

Title:To Hear the Sea Maid's Music
Author: miriad
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating:PG-13, for swearing
Pairing:Gen
Description: Thou rememb'rest
Since once I sat upon a promontory
And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back,
Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath
That the rude sea grew civil at her song,
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres
To hear the sea-maid's music.
- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
(Oberon at II, i)
Author's Notes: This is just a small moment in a much, much larger story, one that as I kept writing and working on it, grew into something that I could not possibly finish in time for this challenge and this deadline. Consider this a teaser trailer, if you will, a glimpse of more things to come. I want to thank Katie, Morgan and Shireen, who worked out a number of things for this story and svmadelyn for working so hard to make this community and challenge such a great time. For the undermistletoe fic challenge.
