I wrote things! Yay me! :D

Many thanks to the Harem, my Brawlchat group and Mariah for the prompts; also more thanks to Mariah for helping me work out my writer's block on the Christmas one. ♥.

The first two are just drabbly things that I spit out in about three minutes each. The third I agonised over more, and likely spent far more time angsting about it than was strictly necessary. Oh well. I'm a drama major, that's my excuse. XP

Concrit is, as always, much appreciated.

x-posted half to death.

Surprise! I wrote something! And it's an FMA ficlet. Ed/Win, set at some point during the series. Doesn't particularly matter when, except that Ed has his automail.

An entire paragraph of this just sort of appeared in my head this morning when I was on my way to class and demanded that I write more. So I did.

As always, constructive criticism is much appreciated! The syntax in this one is a bit different from what I normally use, and so is the verb tense.

For Mariah, because she is awesome.

Uuuh. So I've been working on this since... last year sometime? (which is retarded because it's so SHORT.) who the crap knows. Forever. and I finally got it finished, HURRAY ME.

Timeline is post-war. Has a sort of Draco/Ginny tilt to it but doesn't have to be interpreted that way. Also, a bit dark and twisted. I'm going to throw a PG-13 rating on there just to be safe.

Anyway, happy reading, and please leave a review! slash comment thing. :D


( don't say a word )

nakotaco here! I COME BEARING MANY FICLIKE OBJECTS.

See?

And. Um. Don't ask me to explain any of these, because I can't. It isn't possible. My mind works in peculiar and unfathomable ways.

HOORAY.

There will likely be more to come, as I have several more prompts.

EDIT: Oh yeah and if you comment, and get a response from hex_you_up, that's me too, on my RP journal that I didn't feel like signing out of.

nakotaco here! Posting to let you all know that I've joined forces with rigella to make this a shared ficjournal. Read her shit, it's awesome, yo.

I've got some really random ficbits in the works that I should be posting before too much longer.

Ummm. That's all! :D

Author: Terrasina Dragonwagon/Miko Maleficus
Title: The Lost
Rating: G
Genre: Romance
Word Count: 690
Summary: The impact, and then nothingness. Silence, and then a presence. – takes place after "The Beginning." Fluff.
Disclaimer: Animorphs and everything that might in any way possibly relate to it belong to Scholastic and K. A. Applegate. I’m just playing. The first quote is from Megamorphs #1: The Andalite’s Gift, and the second is from #54: The Beginning. The last...well, it’s everywhere.

Author’s Note: My own little memorial, six years after the fact. I felt it deserved one. Also, I will fully admit that I’m a sucker for fluff and happy endings, and I couldn’t bear to let characters I love so much hang in limbo like that. I hope I did them some measure of justice. I know it’s short. It’s meant to be.

Also, I fully realise that I am a total loser. But I enjoy it.

Please forgive any discrepancies in the ‘plot.’ It’s been awhile since I read most of the books, and my memory of some of the more minute details is a bit shaky. That said, enjoy. Reviews and especially constructive criticism are always encouraged.

( black leotards and her feet are bare )

I've started work on a new fic, a Teen Titans multichapter one. It'll be Beast Boy/Terra, possibly with some Robin/Starfire - I haven't decided yet.

Anyhoo...for those of you who are curious as to how my writing process works...

The first thing I do is to come up with a basic plot idea. This usually doesn't involve anything more than where it starts and who the main characters will be, and generally where it will end (this being one of the cases where I'm not yet certain of the ending).

Once I have that, I start writing out questions that need to be answered, or at least have their answers alluded to. I try to make that list as specific as possible so that I don't inadvertently leave anything out.

Something I always intend to do but never seem to quite get around to doing - and something that I'm determined to do with this story - is to write out a chapter-by-chapter plot outline. That way I know where each chapter will start and end, which characters will be in it, which questions will be answered and which will be raised, and hopefully how much dialogue I'll need versus how much narrative.

Then I'll start writing.

So, suffice to say, it may be awhile before the first chapter actually appears.

The point of the story is essentially that I was extremely dissatisfied with the way "Things Change" happened. It was full of plot holes, and the ending was so abrupt that at first I thought - 'wait. That can't be right.'

So my fic's going to be AU from the end of "Titans Together." It will take place approximately two years after that episode; with the defeat of the Brotherhood of Evil and subsequently many of the other villains they've been combating over the years, the Titans suddenly have a lot of free time on their hands - the few remaining villains aren't much of a threat (for the purposes of the story, we're going to assume that Slade is still off in hiding somewhere, probably plotting the violent and painful demise of Robin and the Titans). Therefore, Cyborg creates for them all hologram generators - similar to the ones he himself used in "Deception" - so that the Titans can go out into Jump City and have fun without being recognized when they want to.
Beast Boy is out in the city one afternoon - in a music store or a coffee shop or something - when he runs into a girl that he swears is Terra. Only she has no idea who he is. He plays along and strikes up a conversation with her, and realises that she has honestly lost her memory - not just that she doesn't recognise him with his hologram on. So he befriends her, and --

Well, this is the point at which I stop knowing exactly where the story is going. Hence the question list and the chapter outlines. All I know about the rest of the story is that first they become friends, and then, after some as-yet-unknown period of time, romantically involved; and that, by the end of the story, she knows who he is and who she once was. Past that I don't know any of the details, including whether or not she regains her memory/powers, if she rejoins the Titans, etc etc.

If you're especially curious, you can read my question list...which has 92 items on it. XD Don't worry, none of them are very long. Keep in mind, though, if you do choose to read it, and you also intend to read the story whenever I actually get around to writing it, that some of what I'm doing may be given away by the list. You have been warned.

If not...*shrug* You get to wait. Hah hah. Actually, you get to wait anyway. Too bad for you. XD

And to any of you who just have this friended for my FMA ficbits...I apologise profusely, but the muses are motivating me to write Teen Titans right now, and to them I am a slave. I'll write the sequel to "Healer" eventually, I promise, it just won't happen anytime soon.

Anyway. ( The questions are here... )


And oh yes, keep in mind that there's not much of an organizational system to the questions...I just sort of wrote them down as they came to me. Pardon the mess.

Have fun, and I look forward to having at least some of you reading the new Titans fic.

(No, it doesn't have a title.)

Unfortunately there is no ficbit for you guys today. Sorry. u__u;;;

However, I do have an idea for a (slightly AU) multichapter Teen Titans fic. If I can ever actually work out a way to get the blasted thing started, I've got most of the rest of the plot worked out in my head.

Yay me! :D *throws arms in air*

Anyway. Keep an eye out for the first chapter sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Well, this actually isn't the ficbit I was talking about earlier, but...oh well.

I realize it's thirteen and the next one should be twelve. This is not a mistake; they're numbered in the order written, not order posted.

Anyway. Here's thirteen for you.



ficbit thirteen
-I have absolutely no idea where this came from. Excuse my complete randomness.
-This fits nowhere in “Fortune Favors.” It’s a stand-alone one-shot type thing, I suppose. Except not, because it’s really really short and ends very abruptly.
-Takes place immediately after the end of "Healer."

Sooo. Explanation for the randomass cut title, as well…I bought the Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack on Saturday and I absolutely love the song “Wunderkind,” by Alanis Morisette.

lyyyyyyrics…


oh perilous place
walk backwards toward you
blink disbelieving eyes chilled to the bone
most visibly brave
no apprehended bloom
first to take this foot to virgin snow

i am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
i am a wunderkind oooooh
i live the envelope pushed far enough to believe this
i am a princess on the way to my throne
destined to serve destined to roam

oh ominous place
spellbound and unchildproofed
my least favorite chill to bear alone
compatriots in place
they’d cringe if i told you
our best back pocket secret; our bond full blown

i am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
i am a wunderkind oooooh
i am a pioneer naïve enough to believe this
i am a princess on the way to my throne
destined to seek destined to know

most beautiful place
reborn and blown off roof
my view: about face weather, great will be done

i am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
i am a wunderkind oooooh
i am a groundbreaker naïve enough to believe this
i am a princess on the way to my throne

i am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
i am a wunderkind oooooh
i am a joan of arc and smart enough to believe this
i am a princess on the way to my throne
destined to reign destined to roam
destined to reign destined to roam

Well, I have an idea for my next ficbit. Much thanks to ladyyami for that.

Unfortunately, I am also in the process of failing my Brit Lit final at the moment.

u____u

ficbit eleven
-takes place sometime between whenever it is Ed's in Central and ficbit one.
-it's winter. Take my word for it.
-I realize that Ed is sort of OOC in this...but I was trying to cheer myself up after angsting over the end of Chrno Crusade. So that's my excuse. I’m going to pretend that also explains why the whole scene is so unbelievably obvious.
-I also realize the end is a bit abrupt, but if I ever actually use this it’ll probably be worked into other scenes on either side of it and therefore have more context. It might not, though. I don’t know yet. u__u

( glitter )

More ficbits, yay! :D Only two this time, but they're much longer.

No, wait, I lied. Three. But the third is really, really short.



ficbit eight
-this is a continuation of the 'coffee' and 'happiness' bits. Again, I just haven't quite worked out how to string them all together yet.
-basic backstory - Ed is 'retired' from the military. Yes, I realize they probably wouldn't let him retire. Regardless, he's not in the military anymore. I actually would not put it past the Amestris military to pull someone out of retirement like this, either. Also - I don't know why it'd be "a couple of months;" I just sort of pulled that out of my ass.
-the bit about "had nothing against Mustang himself" - keep in mind this was written months ago, before I knew about the Ishbal thing. That sentence will probably change. Later. When I'm not so lazy.
-I like my Riza in this :D

( departures )


ficbit nine
-this one is really out-of-context. I have no idea where in the timeline of the story this would go, other than that it would be after ficbit one. Past that, I have no idea. I also couldn't tell you why, if Ed is retired from the military, they'd invite him to a ball. I just wanted to write a party scene, and this happened.
-There's actually more to this, where they go to the ball and run into various people, including, if I remember correctly, Mustang, Hawkeye, Ross, and Mrs. Hughes. However, I wasn't sure I liked it, so I never typed it up.
-Again, the bit in brackets means I don't like it, but I haven't worked out a way to rephrase it yet. The name Garth is in brackets because I just sort of picked one so it'd be there, but that's probably not what his name is going to be in the end. Also, keep in mind that like ficbit eight, I wrote this months ago, before I ever read the manga past chapter 40 or saw any of the 'new' episodes.

( party )


ficbit ten
-short and simple, no context. Sorry. I just had this image in my head, and needed to write it down. I picture it on a hill.

( white dress )

The following are ficbits from the sequel to my other fic, "Healer," which can be found here. When finished, it will be called "Fortune Favors."

A warning, if you're going to read: these are in no particular order or context, so you're unfortunately going to have to live with that. The only common theme is that Ed and Winry are "together" - or whatever.



ficbit one
-would be placed toward the end of the fic. By this point Ed and Winry would be in their mid-twenties.
-"Catia" is pronounced "KAHT-shee-yuh."
( blue eyes )


ficbit two
-this scene would take place fairly close to the beginning of the fic, meaning Ed and Winry are maybe nineteen or twenty.

( morning coffee )


ficbit three
-this is intended to somehow continue off of ficbit two. Not sure how.

( happiness )


ficbit four
-this is entirely contextless; I have no idea where it goes. I just like it.

( description )


ficbit five
-this is a variation on the other "coffee" scene.

( caffeine )


ficbit six
-okay, basic story here: in "Healer," Winry tells Ed she loves him. He has acknowledged that he loves her, too, he just hasn't been able to actually tell her yet. Thus the following scene.

( dishes )


ficbit seven
-after the coffee scene(s) and before the baby. For some reason Ed was gone and he was doing a lot of alchemy. No, I don't know why.
-the word "realized" is in brackets because I need to find a good synonym for it. Open to suggestions.

( reunions )

Just a test post to see the colors and layout.

Ficbits to come soon.
