Speaking of drabbles, I've narrowed down my remixthedrabble assignment to 6 potentially-to-be-remixed fics. Go me! I wonder if I can remix the same drabble twice?

I wanna write more Good Omens drabbles (Seven Deadly Sins--it never gets old). And Merlin. And obviously a Slytherin drabble for the base drabble of the above drabble tree. All roads lead back to Draco Malfoy ;-)

Oh the indignities.

This reminds me of this Smallville/Superman fanfic where Clark tried out being human (thanks to the A.I.) and felt Deeply Betrayed because papers aren't supposed to hurt you >=/

Which in turn reminds me of Yomiko Readman/"The Paper" from Read or Die, haha.

1. skellerbvvt has updated Citrus with a loooong chapter two! *shortcircuits* \o/

2. yue_ix's Dark!Merlin series:

2 a. No shades of grey: fingers (PG-13, kinkme_merlin prompt "Arthur/Merlin, Arthur sucking on Merlin's fingers")
2 b. No shades of grey: branches (Merlin, and an Irish Elk, my prompt "Merlin as a wild boy/man of the woods.")

3. Merlin S2 shooting:

- Is that Gwen? O_o This woman that [SPOILER] is hugging? Nvm. Can't believe I didn't realize it's Morgana.
- Pretty gleaming horses *_*

4. why_me_why_not wrote an eclectic of drabbles/flopsies:

4 a. A is for Alien Overlord, Dean and Luna (HP)
4 b. P is also for Princeling, Edmund/Caspian (Narnia)
4 c. W is for Wardrobe Peter/Draco (Narnia/HP crossover)
4 d. G is for Godfather, Dresden/Marcone (Dresden)

5. H/D and manga collide:

5 a. dampfnudl's Little Prince (G, Draco & Doll!Harry)
* Little Draco is v. Gothic Loli-shota Aristocrat in this.
* The only non-creepy Japanese doll story is Clamp's Angelic Layer. This needs to be said.

5 b. You Are My Sunshine (G, butler!Draco wrapping a scarf around Harry's neck)
* H/D-ers recognize the art style, of course.
* AHAHAHAH OMG 70s Manga Art X-D *dies* The roses, the roses! And the shape of the face!
Am I the only one who've read all the ballerina!Mari-chan series? There were at least a dozen permutations, I swear.

Draco eyed Florean Fortescue’s glass display with the desperate longing of a denied sweetaholic.

"The Dental-Wizard said no hot or cold food for three days," Harry reminded his boyfriend.

Draco huffed in annoyance. His attempt at a Malfoy glare only made him look silly with his swollen pink cheeks. Shortly after his twenty-eighth birthday, Draco’s wisdom teeth had suddenly grown in. All four of them.

Harry realized that he was not quite successful in masking his amusement when Draco’s left eye started twitching.

Hastening to avoid a full-blown Malfoy tantrum, he quickly pointed at a jewelry store. "Look, pretty rings!"

Disclaimer: This is my own observations on androgyny and the Japanese genre of Boys' Love.

Plug at will. Am curious about what other people think.

This post originated as two comments in response to flyingskull’s comment on the Boys' Love genre.

Last year I lucked out both for the fic I remix and the remixed fic I received \o/
I love the idea of remixredux (in comparison to hd_remix, where you remix an H/D fic you've probably read for an author you've probably interacted with before. Dunno, just not as inspiring to me.)
It's an excuse to write gen, a pairing you never write before, or a fandom that you usually don't write in =)

My past remix is: "The Silent Son (The Unutterable Words Remix)" The original is Sirius gen, my remix is Regulus gen. The story coagulated in my brain for weeks, then I wrote the whole thing in one day =)
And my Draco (dm1980) gen drabble was remixed into "Brewing the River Styx (From Styx to Lethe Remix)"--which I adore <333

I'll have to write as many drabbles as possible by March 1 to give my remixer more choices \o/ And I'll try to have "Love Hopes All Things" rewritten by March 1 too so it can qualify to be remixed *g*

Ahaha, and melfinatheblue, I see that you caved in and signed up too X-D

Happy birthday, dracofiend! =D
Hope you have an enjoyable one =)

My 2008 Writing/Drawing Goal #1:

Focus on one plotbunny each month until September, not including IMR4MR. (Well, or one-ish plotbunny, at any rate, haha)

( February to July )

---

Weekly fandom to-do list:
Saturday:
- wrisomifu check-in post
- slytherin_100 new challenge prompt
Monday:
- Link to slytherin_100 fav. drabble poll @ LJ

I just claimed prompt #91 over at phoenix_flies for art.

AU: Draco Malfoy is the Boy Who Lived.

There will definitely be a flopsy/ficlet to accompany it, but most likely the fic won't be done by the deadline (March 15th). So not claiming for fic.

Pairing(s) or character(s): Def. Draco. Lucius, Narcissa. Harry and maybe Snape.

Thanks to midnight conversations with saerabbande and ruien, I have titles for my Boy-Who-Lived!Draco plotpanda.

Year One: His Right-hand Man
Year Two: Whispers in the Walls
Year Three: The Black Sheep
Year Four: The Wizard's Return
Year Five: Forgotten Prophesies

Expected length: 35,000 to 90,000 words (5000 to 12000 words a chapter). Because I suck at planning word count D:

Gawd. I really do have a gazillion WIPs and plotbunnies, huh?

1 & 5 are in the same universe. While we're at it, 9 & 10 are in the same universe too.
As always, to read the F-locked cookies, just ask and I'll friend you from play_w_me.
