AIGH!

So I took my laptop and my novel-in-progress with me on a grand adventure, this afternoon.

Said adventure involved writing two more pages and some damn good stuff.

But when I got it home… the laptop won’t work.

It has power. It was working just fine when I shut it the last time. It just won’t. Turn. On.

And I need those two pages, dammit!

Are there any Mac experts out there who can help me? I would not otherwise be worried, but my lappy needs internets to update my work on the cloud. If it’s on the cloud, it’s *FINE*.

But it’s not fine. 

Because it broke sometime when I was off the interwebs and disconnected from the cloud.

Challenge #00048: The Fall of Matthews

From Duncan’s perspective, show the victory of Scott and how he achieved it. Todd, Kelly and Graydon Creed make appearances. Jean laughs at Duncan as she dumps him. Duncan eats crow and gags.

“Damnit. Where the fuck are my pants?”

Duncan had got his clothes on in the order they came to him. In this case, that meant his shirt, coat and a pair of heart-pattern boxers that, though his size, were not his style.

And since it

Challenge #00047: Weather the weather.

An apple, a surfboard and a typhoon. Somewhere in the story.

“This,” said Rael, “is not typical English weather.”

“Naw, it’s a wee bitty rough,” said Shayde. This was supposed to be her holiday ‘home’. Now they were stuck in a hotel and glaring at the weather. “Even fer Wales.”

“It’s raining sideways. It’s sleeting sideways. This is a bit more than a 'wee bitty

Challenge #00046: Daring Rescue

Edward Kelly moments after meeting Magneto for the first time.

{Bamf!}

Edward Kelly swallowed his last meal back down and tried to think of anything but the taste of bile and stomach acid.

“Welcome to the three D’s of teleportation, Principal Kelly,” said a blurred figure that was somehow all shades of aqua. “Dizzyness, disorientation and debilitating nausea.” The figure held something under his nose.

The scent of citrus assaulted him, but at least it made

Requests

So far, I’ve had requests for Love is Blue, Misfits, and that weird one with Kurt and Todd as a couple after an avalanche. I don’t recall a title.

The bad news is, I don’t think I even have that last one. I’ll look, but I have a LOT of fics, some of them are doubles, and not all of them are mine.

The good news is, I already posted Misfits. Starting here.

Challenge #00045:

The first press conference of newly elected state senator, Scott Summers, in which he tries to explain how someone who sees only red can govern those with full vision. Hard questions are asked by both reporters and Duncan Matthews, himself the newly elected leader of the FOH and sporting IRA styled terrorist backup.

“How can you claim to have a far-reaching vision when all you can see is red?”

Gah. Dumb question #3. Again. State Senator Scott Summers kept his

Okay, I think we might all need a bit of a break...

Darkfic can be… intense for many.

Yeah, yeah, I know some folks find darkfic hilarious, but I don’t know anyone who laughed at any darkfic I’ve written. YMMV, etc. etc.

It was strange for me, re-reading all of that and riding an emotional rollercoaster of my own making. Especially since I was in a personal emotional trough at the time.

Don’t worry, it’s over now.

But I did learn some very important lessons:

Challenge #00044: Trial of Error

End with this sentence: “Failure had become the only way he knew he had actually tried.”

Rael could not believe in his makers. He had, after all, witnessed them sleeping in the labs, relieving themselves, and skimming the news over morning stimulants and breakfast.

It was hard to worship anything when you’d seen them with food dribbling down their chin.

It was even harder to believe in anything when they were testing and training you at the same

Fanfic Time: Don't Pity Me part 56

Footnotes to the very much NSFW fic below the cut:

Appendix: Side-flings, Homages, and Downright Rip-offs

Kurt’s Masks are:

The Perfectionist: Mostly mute, only talks to Kurt inside his head. Never speaks to others. Demands absolute clinical perfection. From everything they do. Has OCD.

RagDoll: Catatonic. Has no speech, no thought.

Das Kinder: Kurt stuck at age four. The innocent of the group. Broke off to *be* the innocent one.

Hure: Bisexual, incredibly open minded, keeps wondering who ‘payed

Fanfic Time: Don't Pity Me part 55

Very much NSFW fic concluding today [tomorrow is all the footnotes]:

Fracture Fifty-Five: Epilogue

  It had been quite a year. A memorable year, certainly. The Media continued to rake over the cold ashes of the Hess trial. Hess herself continued to fight for adequate legal representation for her re-trial, though there wasn’t a single lawyer anywhere who would touch her case with a pole of any length or variety.

  Raven, unknown to a large proportion of the world, continued to
