Dear Yuletide Writer,

It's nice to meet you! This is my first year participating in this exchange, so I hope we both manage to have fun while writing.
I'm pretty easy to please. Simply the fact that someone is willing to write me a story is more than enough, so please have fun and don't do more than you're comfortable with. Hopefully I've picked a wide-enough selection of fandoms to give you something to work with.

My preferences lean towards slash. I would prefer that the central pairing of the story not be Het.
I'm familiar with or have watched/read the majority of the material for all these shows. You don't have to follow canon if you don't want to. I'm good either way.

I have chosen the following fandoms:

Nightrunner Series:
I'd love to see something from the missing years between the second and third book. Or kidnap them for a while and stick them in a different world. Like Elfquest of Flight of Dragons. I'll accept anything up to explicit, but it does not have to be explicit.

Hawaii Five-O 2010:
Danny seems rather possessive of Steve. I've been wondering if there's more to it. I'll accept anything up to explicit, but it does not have to be explicit. Slash please. m/m/m Trios, m/m pairings, etc.

Elfquest:
I love this series. It's a wonderful story-setting. Feel free to come up with something. Cutter and Leetah is one of the few het pairings I don't mind, but I'd love to see some slash from this. I really would. So, slash please? Pretty please? I'll beg. M/M, M/M/M I'll accept anything up to explicit, but it does not have to be explicit.

Bedlam Bards:
Eric Banyon, Tannim, Cory, Eric's brother, the elfling he rescued, etc. Shoot, feel free to bring in any characters from this verse since all three series intersect periodically. I would love to see Eric paired with Tannim. I really, really would. I'll accept anything up to explicit, but it does not have to be explicit.

Feel free to cross these with any of the other series I offered to write for if the rules allow it. I'm familiar with all of them and enjoy them all. I offered these:


Gargoyles (Tv Show),
NCIS: Los Angeles (Marty Deeks, G Callen, Sam, Hetty Lange)
Flight of Dragons: Could cross other charas into this one.
CSI: NY: (Danny before Montana. Don't much like their relationship, Mac, Don)
Valdemar Series- Mercedes Lackey

Things I like:


1. Happy endings
2. Slash
3. Threesomes
4. Wingfic
5. Shifter-fic
6. Fantasy
7. Supernatural
8. vampires
9. kid fic (either their kids or them as kids)
10. angst with hurt/comfort
11. get-together stories
12. long and plotty,
13. plotty
14. crossovers
15. AUs
16. Sad back-stories that aid h/c

Things I don't like:

1. Permanent death of characters (temporary deaths where the character comes back is fine)
2. explicit non-con
3. het as main pairing/relationship.
4. Unhappy ending.


And sorry I took so long to post this. I got caught up in school and just finally finished it up for the sem. For advice as to what I like try whiteraven1606 and deathangelgw or check out my lj comm where Raven and I post: http://community.livejournal.com/3_infinite_fic/

Thank you so much,
Shadow

and a lot nicer than my whining fest I was thinking of writing. If glowing trees replaced streetlamps, what a world we would live in...

Thank Yous: I offer the most heartfelt thanks to Deathangelgw, Sharona1x2, Whiteraven1606, and Triskellion for putting up with me and my insanity over the course of these stories. They were fun. Maybe I should write some more...

Summary: An unwanted betrothal, a mystical Rainbow unicorn, ancient fairytale law, and a happy ending with a dash of insanity.

Back in the Spring, during a discussion on the kirk_mccoy community, it was suggested that the Kirk/McCoy fandom should have its own archive. Right now, Kirk/McCoy stories are scattered all over Livejournal and Dreamwidth, and while some have uploaded their work to AO3, you have to use various filters to get to the good stuff, as it’s only a tiny proportion of all the stories and fandoms on there.



So, once the seed of the idea for an archive was planted, it began to grow and grow and...

...it’s with great pleasure that I announce the opening of the shiny new Kirk McCoy Archive – http://www.kmarchive.net



We would love to make the archive a ‘one stop shop’ for all things Kirk McCoy related – whether it’s slash, pre-slash, friendship, or gen where Kirk and McCoy are central characters. Don't forget trios, moresomes, crossovers (The Archivist is a sucker for these), AU's, and anything else you can come up with. We're also multi-lingual! We can accept entries in English, French and Spanish.

BUT to make this archive more than a software shell, we need your support – we’re asking authors to join the archive and to upload your stories and to encourage your friends, too. And readers, we ask you to encourage writers by leaving reviews of the stories you read. The Archive is moderated, but the moderation team is ready and waiting for your entries.



So please come and sign up now: http://www.kmarchive.net – we need you!

So, if you love Star Trek and want a ficcy for Christmas, then join the Happy trekmas exchange. you get to give someone else a fic for Christmas and get one yourself!

Alka-seltzeer is a tabletized mini-potion marketed by wizards to muggles... It has to be. It certainly tastes bad enough to be one of Snape's potions. But it works! And very quickly at that.

I officially nominate Dr. Mori as most awesome Professor of the Semester. Why? Due to various things our group assignment topics weren't posted till today. Since the presentation isn't until the 30, he could have held us to it despite the short work time. But instead he extended our due date till July 7, which is awesome. I no longer have 2 group presentations and a 12-14 page paper as well as various mini-papers due in the same week.

Raven wrote this.
About the oil spills
made me tear up.
It's not mean.

It's just a story
about someone she knew and
an invention he made over 20 Years ago.
how different things could have been,
if the companies hadn't said no.

It's a true story.
And that's the saddest point of all.
