It's a year to the day since I posted my first fic on LJ! In celebration of this fact, some numbers pertaining to the past twelve months.

50200 - total word count of fics

31 - fics posted (some still anon)

12 - Remus/Sirius fics

8 - femslash fics

3 - NC-17 rated fics

1 - Snupin fics, and also academic articles accepted for publication (ok, that isn't fan related)

0 - threesome fics

From this I draw 3 main conclusions: a) I have written a lot of fic this year, although b) I haven't written much seriously porny fic, and c) why on earth haven't I written any threesomes?!

I will do my best to remedy b) & c) in 2009 and am working on a Remus/Sirius/James story already. Feel free to suggest  / request others ;-)

It turns out (and somehow I had forgotten to expect this) that if one writes exchange fics then one receives gifts in return. We're only five days into December and I've received two absolutely wonderful gifts already:

The first is 'NB', a gorgeous piece of Pansy/Ginny art , R-rated & NWS.
Despite the description as 'BDSM-lite' , this drawing isn't obscenely femslashy or terrifyingly kinky - in case you don't like that kind of thing, though perhaps you do. Actually, the art is cute and funny with all sorts of wonderful details like the Weasley-esque clock, the motivational wall posters, their socks, & of course Ginny's 'NB' to herself. I thoroughly recommend it.

My second gift is These Conversations We Aren't Having by gyzym, PG-13.
I like fics that are funny, or angsty, or just beautifully written, but it's a rare treat to find all three at once. Remus' dry observations are great & the dialogue is amusing and authentic, but the interactions between Remus & Sirius centre around the things that carefully aren't being said & the mouldy peas on the floor act as a further reminder. I'm not going to explain about the peas, you'll just have to read it - but unless you hate R/S with a fiery passion I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I have finally submitted all the fic I'm writing for Xmas fests, so I now get to sit back, relax and enjoy the fruits of other people's labour (well, once I finish this chapter and these job applications...) These are the fests I will be watching over the next few weeks:

Remus/Sirius Small Gifts - posting starts Dec 1st

HP Yule Balls - posting starts Dec 1st

Snupin Santa - posting starts Dec 1st

H/D Holidays - posting starts Dec 1st

Fem Exchange - posting starts Dec 15th

Are there other fests I should be looking out for which involve HP slash or femslash? After all, I don't want to run short of free (and thus delightfully recession proof) reading material.

Title: Electioneering

Author: Woldy

Rating: G

Pairing: none

Prompt: 'Try' for100quills

Wordcount: 100

Summary: Remus campaigns for the Ministry of Magic elections.

Disclaimer: not mine & not profiting.

 

 

"Good day," Remus says, polite and friendly as per their volunteer training. "I'm campaigning on behalf of Circe Stormlaw. Can we count on your vote?"

 

"Thinking of choosing Fudge," the man replies blandly.

 

"Stormlaw favours benefits reform," Remus says encouragingly, "and a childcare program which-"

 

"Sorry, not interested."

 

Remus never vocalises his own reasons, of course, "She'd repeal the Werewolf Registry. I'm certain of it."

 

At the following house, the door is slammed in his face.

 

It's probably hopeless, but he daren't stop. Perhaps the next one will be the deciding vote… Persistently, he trudges onwards in the gathering dark.

Title: Downhill from Here
Author: Woldy
Rating: PG-13 (for swearing)
Pairing: Sirius/James, Remus/Sirius, Lily/James
Prompt: 'Hollow' for 100 Quills
Wordcount: 100
Warnings: swearing, angst, spoilers for the prequel (does that even make sense as a concept?), unorthodox grammar
Disclaimer: These characters all belong to Jo.

I've been repeatedly ambushed by drabble bunnies recently. I'm in the middle of something and then wham it's thirty minutes later, I've written a drabble & work has gone by the wayside. Still, this is my first Sirius/James fic & it was fun to write. Poor Remus.


The difficulty with Sirius fucking James is that there's no good way for it to end.

Sirius has Remus, James has Lily, and they're best mates. It's all downhill from here.

At Hogwarts things between them were nearly but not quite, but now it indubitably, inescapably is. Is sexual. Nobody could attribute this to friendship.

Touching James is like being fifteen again, wild and reckless. It's no coincidence that they first fucked after fleeing Death Eaters and policemen by motorbike.

The shakily written note from Remus reads, "I'm leaving because of the lying, not the sex."

Remus never comes back.

Title: A certain space
Author: Woldy
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Minerva McGonagall/Augusta Longbottom
Summary: Minerva assesses the damage & decides on her future.
Wordcount: 600
Notes: Written for antosha_c's wonderful prompt: "Things Shouldn't Be So Hard" by the US Poet Laureate, Kay Ryan. This fic is not beta-d, so I apologise for any mistakes.

( Take me to the McKitty fic! )

I signed up for this a while back & it's taken me some time to get started. However, finally, here's the prompt table. I have a bunch of work to do in completing it, so watch this space for more Remus/Sirius I guess!

Title: Chosen family or 'I'm looking at you, Proposition 8'
Author: Woldy
Rating: PG (for swearing) 
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Prompt: family (& 'smile' for 100 quills)
Word count: 100


The problem wasn't that Sirius lacked a family, the problem was they were poisonous bastards who thought blood and money were all that mattered.

Fuck them. Nuclear families were bullshit. The only family that mattered were the ones you chose yourself – friends, lovers, carers if you were caught by a bad curse.

Sirius wished he were excited for James and Lily, but in truth he figured any institution that excluded gays was not an institution worth preserving.

"Ready, Pads? Got the ring?"

Sirius glanced at Moony who was smiling, spectacularly handsome in tails.

"Yeah," he said, stifling resentment. "Let's go."

Title: Five Drabbles Where Ginny Weasley May Have Fucked Pansy Parkinson
Author: Woldy
Rating: R
Warnings: swearing, booze, girlsex & implied bondage.
Notes: I blame the wonderful porny 'five times' stories about HP slash pairings, which caused me to wonder why the boys were having all the fun.
Disclaimer: These ladies are not mine & I'm not profiting. 


 

( Cut to the drabbles! )

Title: Horoscopes and how they caused the Plague of Frogs 
Author: Woldy 
Rating: R 
Summary: This is the story of the most improbable job Remus ever had, the Chocolate Frog Plague of 1980 and, incidentally, how he first kissed Sirius.
Warnings: Absurdity and explicit boysex
Disclaimer: Not mine & not profiting
Notes: Written for the second round of the R/S Games, in the humour & romance genres. The prompt was "Gemini (May 21 -- June 21) - It's time to act against your natural character and inclination. You need to display all the qualities you don't believe you have. With the right changes, you'll attract the luck you need when it means the most."
Credits: Many thanks to Team Post-Hogwarts, to the R/S Games mods & to MaraudersAffair for beta-ing. This fic was inspired by the wonderful (alas now retired) astrologer Psychic Psmith.

Read the story via R/S Games or...

Back in May I asked for fic requests and agreed to write a Katie/Alicia fic for royalty25 using the prompt 'vigilance'. 
I wrote most of the fic in May and then got terribly distracted by deadlines for other fic and scary deadlines for RL work. Finally, three months later, the fic is complete. I hope you like it royalty25and I apologise for the long delay!

Title: Balls, Belles and Broomsticks
Author: Woldy
Pairing: Katie/Alicia
Rating: PG

Warnings: It's fluffy, so watch out if you're allergic.

My assignment for the HP Crackship exchange, cross-posted from that community.

There haven't been many fics posted here of late, which is partly because I've been working on 2 fics for the Remus/Sirius Games , which has been great fun. Since the reveals for Round 1 are now up, I can provide the details of my entry:

Title: All about camping
