For wendelah1: Fringe/XFiles cross-over: Olivia has to consult Scully for some case that needs...consulting. Mulder can come too, of course.
( The old X designation )

For maraceles: more of that Supernatural/Firefly crossover, Angels in the Architecture. Gen or Sam/Dean. (Note: can be read either way. Also River/player to be named below.)

( spinning in infinity )

Imaginary vids: The Antlers, Two, is a Scully arc vid in my head.

A long time ago, I wrote, “Today I did a very good job at something where the extent to which I did a good job doesn’t matter and should.” Turns out it did matter! Go me!

OMG did I really promise to do 17 more of these, plus Yuletide? *facepalm*

skippy_fluff: SV: Oliver and Clark find they have more oil than they expected (or the oil they have lasts longer than expected). Came out a bit shaggy-dog, sorry.

( Oiliens! )

giandujakiss: The Inside, Rebecca/Web/Paul UST, mindgames! This seemed to me to be the same prompt as livrelibre's Web/Rebecca/Paul (trust).

( Inside man )

meret: SPN - A Captured by the Game (Sam/Dean) time stamp.

( fallen idol )

livrelibre: Chuck, Chuck/Casey/Sarah (post-finale, training or "Let's get ready to rumble!"). Bonus to the first to ID the movie reference.

( Chuck talks a little dirty in this one )

ariadnes_string: Fringe!fic: Locked room/trapped/quarantine always does it for me. Gen, Peter & Olivia.

( A nice trip to the forest )

libgirl: M/S: snowflakes. Warning: gratuitous meanness to Bill Scully Jr.

( Fight Club was wrong about you )

kass: SV, Clark/Lex, glow

( fully poseable )

END

Loopy on meds and cycling between sweats and chills, so sad. But I have a report on The Sex Files: (1) sex between random people = not a turn-on for me; Mulder's hand hovering over the doorknob to Scully's room, wanting to see her but afraid to reach out = a turn-on; (2) bad actors desperately trying to remember the obviously-more-complex-than-they're-used-to dialogue sometimes, though only sometimes, come off with a pretty good Mulderish/Scullyish flat affect.  Other times it's just funny.  (3) When Mulder watched porn, as is his wont, they actually showed the porn, for an extended period.  (4) The final M/S scene was played differently than the other sex scenes, like they really loved each other but for some reason had to try all these different positions and have a money shot the first time. 

Anyway, I offer you the credits and first post-credit sequence, no sex at all, but the visuals and music are creditable versions of the real thing.  External shots of the FBI building!

I decided to write up a list of vids I never get tired of, trying to limit myself to one per fandom except SPN, which means a large number got excluded. It’s also interesting to see which from my old recs post have become “rewatch a lot” vids. I’m definitely trending to faster cuts, but I still love my emo porn.

( Angel, BSG, Chuck, Dark Angel, Doctor Who, Farscape, Firefly, Heroes, Highlander, Iron Man, Legend of the Seeker, Multi, QAFUS, RPV, Smallville, Star Trek TOS, SGA, Supernatural, X-Files  )

Variations on a Fugue:
Fox was the one who couldn't remember, and Dana got her memories back. (For hulamoth , and also—because that’s how I roll—satisfying my amnesia clichefic prompt.)
PG, A (if you don’t remember, A is for Angst)

So, I miscalculated: two more spots for tomorrow night, if anyone wants to claim them.

In lieu of a commentary track, I thought I'd post parts of the emails mustangsally78 and I exchanged soon after she proposed what would become Iolokus. Sadly, I don't have the initial emails, only my replies. At least I quoted a lot. Herewith, portions of the correspondence labeled "As Sure as Eggs Is Eggs," December 1997. Original summary by MS is black. MS's replies to me are in blue. RT is in red. (I'm Heather Chandler!) I think there's interesting stuff here, about the false starts and surprises of writing, collaboration, feminism and reproduction, and (for cathexys) intertextuality, both with fannish and nonfannish texts.

( we were writers once, and young )

Stories I’m not writing (that aren’t even half as scary as the summaries collected by svmadelyn here):

1. The Asimovesque shaggy-dog story (think “The Foys of Sortibrackenstrete,” if I spelled that right) about attempted hybridization of alien and earth animals with the punchline, “She’s all cat and no Hattle.”

2. The smokin’ hot Weir/Lorne story set after ( spoilers for most recent episode outside the US )

3. The sequel to the second of my “Five Things” SV story, in which Clark is instead Mary, the last daughter of Krypton, and Lex is so angry at Mary’s lies that they have vicious (and extended!) sex that still TOUCHES LEX’S SOUL. And because it’s okay for a 22-year-old man to fuck a 16-year-old girl but not a 16-year-old boy, social conventions don’t keep them apart and they live happily ever after. Thus did homophobia make Lex evil.

4. The sequel to Iolokus that’s a redo of Face/Off with Mulder and Krycek. It’s fifteen years later, Miranda is rebellious jailbait, as is Bram (the boy twin), Scully is (still) resentful, and Mulder does an extra-sekrit ditch – now with facelift! Krycek takes Mulder’s face in return, gives Scully the ride of her life, and starts seducing the kids. (I am not making this up. mustangsally78 and I spent hours plotting this. I own a copy of Face/Off for research purposes. In our defense, I don’t think the final shootout was going to feature doves. Stabbing, but not doves. If you ever wondered how seriously we took the whole thing by the time we got to Syadiloh and that name didn't satisfy your curiousity, this should.)
