an anonymouse writes fic

Okay, so:

In 2010 (my first year writing in fandom) I wrote (and posted) about 75,000 words.

In 2011, I wrote (and posted) about 53,000 words.

In 2012, I wrote (and posted) about 130,000 words.

So far, counting two original WsIP (one with feels_like_fire) and NaNoWriMo (also an original WIP) and everything from AO3, I'm at about 205,000 words on the year. Minus the unposted stuff (60K NaNoWriMo as of today; the other two are 7K and 16K as of this moment), that's still 122,000 words posted on AO3, which is very close to what I did last year. I don't really have anything on the horizon for fannish stuff, although I may dig around fandom_stocking and see what I can do.

I have no idea what I'm doing. It's awesome.

Title: Footprints in Mysterious Fire
Word Count: 30,000
Rating: NC-17.
Fandom/Universe: Mostly Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a little stuff mined from the comics for backstory
Characters/Pairings: Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanoff, James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers, James "Bucky" Barnes/Natasha Romanoff, James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanoff. Nick Fury, Clint Barton, and Phil Coulson do all show up briefly, but the rest of the Avengers do not appear on screen.
Warnings: One character, an OC, is injured to the point of needing amputation, but it is not on screen nor is it graphically described. Another character (Clint) suffers burns, described somewhat. Otherwise, canon-typical violence. Some mild D/s, graphic sex.
Summary: Someone is following Steve Rogers around and shooting at him and the people near him. Natasha Romanoff is following right behind him to see who it is. When it turns out to be the Winter Soldier, the question then becomes: who is the Winter Soldier, and why does he look so familiar to both Steve and Natasha?
Author’s Notes: Thanks ever so much to feels-like-fire, for providing the initial inspiration, and adorable_eggplant, for the beta work. Title from A November Night, by Sara Teasdale.

Wow, so, uh, it's been a while. I'm not dead. I just . . . this time of year, I rarely seem to write much. Oh well. Have some random two-hour fluff.

Title: Another Kind of Prisoner’s Dilemma
Rating: T (language? I guess?)
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe (some time after Avengers, not IM3 compliant)
Pairing/Characters: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff, Pepper Potts, Jarvis
Summary: Tony and Steve wake up tied to a bed.
Word Count: 1550
Content Advisory: Nothing I can think of other than the inherent “tied to a bed” issue.
Notes: Thanks to adorb_eggplant for misreading a text and inspiring me, and thanks to feels_like_fire for beta-ing. :D

Word Count: 13,600 total
Content notes/warnings: Nothing I can think of but please comment if I'm mistaken.
Author's notes: Written for jou. Thanks to feels_like_fire for beta work and also encouragement, and the title, which is from a Florence + the Machine song. Also, the book summarized in there somewhere is Vision in White by Nora Roberts.

Back to Part 1

( Part 2 )

Anyone want to do a real quick beta (it probably doesn’t need much work and I definitely need it back by Tuesday) for feels-like-fire’s birthday fic? It’s Avengers, Tony/Steve, college!au, and decidedly NC-17, 9200 words, but like I said, I don’t think it needs much more than a read-through.

Yeah, I know it’s Easter but I can’t be the only one whose Easter plans involve Netflix and beer and maybe a YouTube video of the Hallelujah Chorus just for the hell of it.

I’m done drafting, and there is one possible squick, but I’m going to let you email (circ dot bamboo at gmail dot com) or PM me for it if you’re interested. I’d apologize for the late notice but I started it around 4pm Friday, so.

Got two, thanks, but if someone's going to be in the mood to beta some Bond/Q BDSM-y fisting fic in a couple of days (maybe as early as tomorrow), shoot me an email.

Title: Somewhere That's Green (or on tumblr, or at AO3)
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Pairing/Characters: Bruce Banner/Betty Ross; Bruce, Betty, Tony, Pepper, JARVIS, Audrey II.
Summary: Bruce expected an evening at the theater to contain excitement and drama--but somehow he'd expected it all to stay on the stage.
Rating: NC-17/Explicit/Adult
Word count: THERE WAS A 5000-WORD LIMIT (but it has 5077 according to AO3)
Content notes: Canon-typical but non-explicit violence; explicit sex
Author's notes: Written for the Marvel Throwdown, run by the marvelous Knotta. (I won!) Thanks to adorb_eggplant , who doesn't have a tumblr and therefore couldn't vote, for giving me a quick read-through and making sure I'm not completely nuts. More notes in the first comment.

( So, I have this ticket to a Broadway show, and I can't use it. )

• First and foremost, I'm one of the contestants in the current round of the Marvel Throwdown, with a pairing of Bruce/Betty and a prompt of "date night" with a few other things, so I'm scrambling through that.


• Then I'm trying to finish jou's Xmas/birthday fic, which is at around 9000 words and will probably end up in the 13,000-15,000-word range.


• Then feels_like_fire and I have a giant White Collar/Skyfall crossover we're plotting out, and that's a lot of fun at the moment.


• Then the Tony/Pepper/Steve Thing of Massiveness and Feels(TM) is poking at my brain again.


• Somewhere on the back burner, I've got:
  
  • A sequel to a thing that I wrote more than two years ago that I've got about 9000 words of and could stand to finish, even though I don't think anyone cares about the story
  
  
  • The rest of the Stevetasha series (there's an overarching thing that I could finish)
  
  
  • The sequel to the 00Q thing I wrote, which . . . I have no idea what's going to happen, really

And then all the other things crowding into my consciousness.

How are you-all?

So there was that time where I complained about my poor life choices on Tumblr and then Kelly Sue DeConnick (who wrote the comic I was trying to buy) picked it up and then her editor, Stephen Wacker, OH, OFFERED TO SEND ME A COPY.

Yeah, that was kind of fun. :-D
