EXTRA LONG: Five Times Lupin and Snape Should Not Have Had Sex... (Snape/Lupin, NC-17)
Title: Five Times Lupin and Snape Should Not Have Had Sex at Order Headquarters (But Couldn't Help It)
Author: ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) snegurochka_lee
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Rating: NC-17
Words: 7,100
Summary: The first time was rather a surprise, the second time just plain predictable. The third was supposed to go much differently, thank you very much, and the fourth devolved into cliché. The fifth, moreover... well. Neither of them really wishes to talk about that one, if you don't mind.
Notes: Written for serpenscript at the 2008 snupin_santa exchange, who asked for a story in which Snape and Lupin are forced to work together during the war, leading to many fights and angry sex in multiple unusual places. Thanks to islandsmoke and florahart for the beta work. :)

State of The Writing
Daily Count: 383
Weekly Count: 7,047
YTD: 7,047
AKB 39: 159 words. I am SO OVER this creative dry well I have going on right now. Yeah, blah, blah, cycle...but okay. ENOUGH NOW. On the other hand, it's nice to get back (sorta) to Jared and Jensen being friends. It's something I've wanted to have more present and, as Jensen observed, something he hasn't had a lot of time for. I feel like I could spend ridiculous amounts of time exploring this world and these characters and the struggle is always in choosing the details that will keep the narrative tight and moving while not being so storyline oriented that I lose dimensionality.
On the other hand, this conversation between Jared and Jensen feels kind of limping and I can't tell if that's my writer-muse issues or whether it's actually limping. I suspect it's all me.
Appetite: 18 words. *cries* I MISS this story so badly. But at the same time, I feel like I've lost confidence in it in a big way and I don't know how to get it back. I open the file nearly every day and most days, I end up closing it unaltered. The fact that 18 words is a triumph makes me so sad. I don't know how to get my mojo back, but I'd really, really like to.
Rules of Attraction (Criminal Minds): 206 words. So I pimped wrenlet into Criminal Minds. And she, in turn, has re-pimped me into doing a rewatch. Despite my deep, craving yen for long, character-driven fic about two of the characters overcoming their many, many issues to grudgingly and gradually get together, my new fanon is that Hotch and Reid have been messing around since before the pilot. I don't know if I'm going to write anything (else) about it or if I'm going to post this little doodle (when/if I finish it), but it pleases me to think of it.
What pleases me: They work with some of the smartest, most perceptive minds in the world. Profiling is their work, but it's also their hobby, it's a reflex. Even in normal workplaces, only about 26% of office romances remain hidden. Theirs is not a normal workplace.
What I'm reading: Still chugging through World War Z. I haven't really done any reading for the last couple days, though. *face* Need to get back to that.
Distractions: I think my biggest problem is a lack of words and that makes it easy for me to be distracted by whatever shiny blows past. But mostly I'm just staring at that cursor, watching it mock me. On the other hand, I have new FNL to watch and JDM's interview on Jimmy Kimmel to fill me with wild, crazy flail. Oh, JEFF. How do you be so wonderfully adorkable?
Happy birthdays to fidelis5588, rei_c and zvi_likes_tv. I hope it's the most joyous of days for you all.

ART: "All I Need Is Your Cooperation" (Harry/Draco)
 Title: All I Need Is Your Cooperation
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17 (rawr~!)
Notes: This was my contribution to the 2008 ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) hd_holidays fest, a gift for the luvly jubbly ravenna_c_tan! I was nervous that this picture wouldn't be kinky enough for her, but she seems to have been happy with it. *beams*
It's Auror!Harry and Prisoner!Draco, with bondage, nekkid, and total abuse of authority. \o/ Thank you very much to nefyr for his crazy supply of gay porn and all his helpful suggestions. :D
Enjoy!
( harry/draco smutz )
Thank you to all you lovely people who left comments on the HD Hols post when the art was still anonymous. :D Who knew the armband and Auror coat would be so popular? xD I am particularly flattered that people in the HD Hols guessing polls thought my art might have been drawn by sherant, cork, or red_rahl. Awesome. *smugface*

How is it that the only resolution I made this year was to not sign up for any fests (until next year's yuletide) and yet (*checks calendar*) by January 7th, I've already signed up for the springtime_gen exchange (evidence - and your opportunity to join me - Here).
This suggests I have no will power. Could it be true?

My birthday loot, let me show it to you
Wow. In my pre-LJ life, I never had so many people remember my birthday as happens nowadays. I am truly very fortunate. And fandom really is a gorgeous, creative potlatch.
Thank you to everyone who sent good wishes my way: I hope that this coming year is better for all of us. And thanks especially to those who created things just for me!
meri_oddities wrote a gen Snape & Harry story for me, Better Days. It's obviously pre-slash to these jaded shipper eyes, and I found it curiously heart-warming. There was something that was just . . . emotionally satisfying about this one, and it has a lovely attention to detail. And I love Snape's daughter's name. Anyway, if you enjoy very fine Snape & Harry, this would be your cuppa, too.
odogoddess wrote a true Snarry for me, Like a Different Man. Snape is stubborn and Harry is clueless and Odo has a very fine ear for how long-established couples sound when they're batting a topic back and forth. It's sweet without being at all cloying, which is a trick that I myself can't pull off. But Odo can!
Check them out! Because one of the lovely things about the fannish birthday potlatch is that while the story/meta/drabble/art is done in honor of one person, everyone can enjoy.

The Thaw, by Xie...
This is yet another re-post, and yet another one of the two stories I wrote for the qaf_challenges hurt/comfort challenge. The LJ post and comments, and a link to the original challenge entry, are here. It was actually based on a deleted scene from Familes, the sequel to Risks. However, it has no plot so it won't spoil anything for you.
KT - roc_abs - made the banner, which I left off the fic in the challenge for obvious reasons. Also, in an attempt to hide my authorship, which given the fact that something like 5768976 people guessed it was mine didn't work very well, I didn't identify Justin's car as a Land Rover. I fixed that here.
Title: The Thaw
Written By: Xie
Timeline: Post-513
Rating: NC-17
Warning: None
Summary: Justin gets really cold. OH THE ANGST.
Author’s Notes: Thank you to my beta, LJ's gmta_nz, who deigned to do her magic on this utterly insignificant bit of fluffy pornage. I mean deep and angst-filled story of the love.

Rape in QAF fanfiction
Let me begin by saying I believe that everyone has the right to write and read whatever they want, including things I find horrible and disgusting.
And in just that way, I have the right to write that I find what they wrote or read to be horrible and disgusting. If you want freedom of expression, I get to have it, too. So if you don't like hearing what I think, don't read it. It's that simple.

Crossing the streams
Aaaaaaand suddenly Ray is fanboying Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
RAY. YOU ARE MAKING IT TOO EASY.
Also, AHAHAHAHA, oh MAN. A concise and complete timeline of all the times that LJ has fucked up. Oh, nostalgia! (And yet, the great fandom migration that we kept chattering about has yet to happen. *lonely sigh* *pokes*)
ETA: What the flying fuck? Did something bizarre happen to LJ while I was gone? I have made a post under flock at my personal journal, but it is not showing up on any of the flists of my mutual friends! My default privacy setting is "Friends only," but I assumed that would be FRIENDS ONLY. As in, my friends can actually fucking SEE THE DAMN POST.
astrothsknot, the post in question is your requested ficlet. Please don't send the Mob.

Rating: Adult

Word Count: 2,744
AN: Another outtake from the AKB universe. Theoretically could stand alone, with basic knowledge of the universe. Takes place about 15 years before the current timeline. Big thanks to those who held my hand: beanside, meredevachon, mona1347 & nilchance. *mwah*

Xie metas her own fic
I normally never, ever meta my own fic, because it fucks with my writing process, but I'm kind of frazzled today and feeling restless and anxious, so, you know, I'm going all mavericky.
In still other words, my darlings? I'm a big fucking hypocrite.
Love,
Xie

State of the Writing
Daily Count: 1,560
Weekly Count: 6,664 (I'm changing my format for this to sync up with findyourwords, which statuses on Thursdays)
YTD: 6,664
AKB: 1,560 words. OMG, that's more like it! Finished the Kane outtake; just need to polish it up and then I'll be posting it today. The "outtake" is now as long as any of the LONG chapters of AKB. *sighs* This just highlights my inability to judge how long it's going to take me to say anything. Of course, my initial ideas about the outtake were complicated by realizing what had "canonically" happend to JDM in the same time frame as the events of the outtake. As someone who likes to mess around with this whole writing thing, I don't know if there's a greater pleasure than the random, textural seeds I've dropped in the story coming together in ecstatic serendipity into something that feels both brilliantly inspired (at least in the eye of the beholder) and bigger than myself.
I talk a lot about my stories as an observer, a recorder, a transcriptionist and that's how I think about them, a lot of the time. Something that comes to me from elsewhere and that I only have the most ephemeral of control over: the choice of a director--to pick what details I want to illuminate and which I want to push to the background, the choice where to pick up or put down, the opening and closing of scenes. So when all these small details that I'm juggling (but have "no control" over) come together...it's like finding the final clue that solves the mystery. The one thing that brings into relief all the others, taking them from being mere details to being breadcrumbs along a path. And I full on LOVE that.
I don't know if the readers ever enjoy those moments as much as the writers do, but I also don't know that it matters. La Muse has be fully collared and shackled with no hope of escaping. But when it's good, he makes it DAMN GOOD.
Anyway. Not sure what I'm going to work on today. *pokes at WIPs*
So I'm not really in popslash fandom, but I did have a brief, intense flirtation with it and became really enamored of Rhys' work (so much so that I borrowed her Chris for a cameo in The Killing Moon). I was telling nilchance and beanside about Book of Secrets and found out that her site has been suspended. O NOES! I don't even know if she has an LJ or if her work is available anywhere else. I would hate to lost Book of Secrets or MPREG...does anyone know if her work is available elsewhere?
Happy birthday to lostakasha, whose poetry-prose always leads me to embarrassing heights of fawning and despair that I'll ever be able to do with words what she does.
