I need to get up and have a shower. But that involves, you know. Getting up. And having a shower.

Title: That's How We Rolls, Muchachos
Author: alyse
Fandom: Sahara
Character/Pairing: Mostly gen, hints of Al/Dirk pre-slash, Rudi-centric
Rating: PG13
Author's Notes: Written for yuletide 2011, for sinden, who wanted: Eva and Dirk having a genial parting of ways. Dirk taking Al off on another "adventure". Sandecker losing more of his property for weird and wonderful reasons. Rudy watching it all with bemusement and Al managing not to lose his hat.

Many thanks to aithine for the beta, even if she hates the way I spell tyres.

Summary: Rudi still writes to his mother once a week and his Aunt Sharon once a month, and it's a testament to the sterling qualities of his current compatriots that not once do they give him shit about it. Of course, he's not entirely sure that his mother and aunt would appreciate his companions' other sterling qualities, like the fact that while they may not give him shit about things, they're more than perfectly capable of landing him in it.

So, at the Twins this weekend, I may have mentioned a certain Christmas related challenge that I thought people might like to check out.

And by 'thought people might like' I mean, of course, 'go sign up now, people!'

::watches all the posts about signing up for fandom_stocking sail by on the old flist and twitter feed::

::giggles::

Dear People who were there at beren_writes and thwax this weekend, and people who were not and who were missed!

We were pimping fandom_stocking, and the sign up post for this (which you are all, of course, going to fill out) is here.

Here are the stockings I have already collected, which may be relevant to your interests:

alyse's stocking: http://fandom-stocking.livejournal.com/222349.html

moonlettuce's stocking: http://fandom-stocking.livejournal.com/239403.html

zellieh's stocking: http://fandom-stocking.livejournal.com/224328.html

Dear People who have no idea what I'm talking about re: this weekend but who have fandom stockings I may have missed, please let me know where they are. So far, I have found the following peeps: pouncer, trobadora, hiddencait, lsellersfic, jenab, wojelah, thecomfychair, escritoireazul, azarsuerte, medie.

Now, to figure out how to communicate this to the people who have switched to tumblr...

Well, I have Internet on my phone, but that's it. So if you're expecting something from me, you may have to wait. It should, in theory, be getting fixed tomorrow, but my ISP's performance to date has been less than stellar so who knows.

Tash, I can't remember if we confirmed, but Claire, Ngaio, Nibble and I are coming down on Saturday. I can access e-mail to read (but hate typing on my phone cos owwie at the moment) but let me know if you want us to bring bedding, chocs or anything :)

Anyone planning on doing fandom_stocking this year? If so, want to give me a heads up on what you think you'll be requesting (and possibly drop me some links to your post when it eventually goes live)?

Can't promise anything but given that I've been writing more recently it's a possibility that Santa might slip something into your stocking :)

I discover that four people (including me) have requested Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place.

All four of us have requested the wonder that is Berg and Irene!

Title: Easy Like Sunday Morning
Author: alyse
Fandom: Primeval
Pairing: Abby and Connor
Rating: PG
Author's Notes: For deinonychus_1, a belated birthday present. Sorry it's late, honey, but I'm a bit out of practice with this pairing. Thanks to aithine for the beta.

Summary: Because it's easy, easy like Sunday morning.

( Easy like Sunday morning... )

Dear yuletide writer

First of all, thank you so much for volunteering to write in one of the tiny fandoms of my heart. Just having fic in one of these fandoms is enough to make me happy so I am sure that I will love whatever you write.

I'm going to give you some of my likes and dislikes right up front, because I know some people would rather know that. If you want a flavour of some of the things that I love writing – and therefore reading – so far I've written Blade: Trinity, which is under the 'fic fandom: blade trinity' tag and Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place, which is under the 'fic fandom: other' tag on my DW/LJ/IJ. However, I really don't expect you to wade through my stories at all – I'm just putting it out there in case that's the kind of information you like to have :-)

Likes

I'm all about the female characters in the vast majority of my fandoms. I like strong, competent women, but strong doesn't necessarily mean break down the door, kick ass strong. I like women in all of their flavours – from the warriors to the homemakers, from the CEOs to those just muddling through – but I like women who are not afraid to speak their mind or take charge or be good at what they do.

I like subtlety and understated feelings - I'm more for quiet or awkward exchanges than outright declarations, unless outright declarations are in character. Either plot or PWP is fine with me, because I'm all about the connections between the characters, the friendships built on firm foundations, the love both romantic and practical. I like snark and banter if that's in character, but also gentle touches and kissing (I could read entire stories about kissing). As far as subject matter goes, at the end of the day, it's the words and the rhythms of them that make me happy so whether you want to go slice of life, deeply plotted, or simply write a thousand words of porn, it's all good with me.

Dislikes

Given the above, it is unsurprising that my pet hates are minimising the contributions of female characters or erasing them from the narrative. Other things include characters acting out of character to further the plot rather than the plot arising out of the characters (I love character driven plots). I don't mind hurt/comfort as long as there is some comfort, but I'm not fond of non-con (although I can deal with it when it's canon). I'm afraid that agendafic or extreme kink doesn't do a great deal for me. Also, because Yuletide is my happy place, no character death or resolutely unhappy endings, please (angsty or bittersweet are fine, as long as there's some hope).

Hopefully that hasn't scared you off :-) so onto the actual requests.
