Fic Update
I noticed a lot of comments asking when the next chapter of Risks will be out. Depending on how long the beta'ing process takes, it should be this weekend.
In other news, the fandom is still here.
I also want to mention that I'm writing a sequel to Justin and Gabrielle in a Bottle. Yes, yes, I know you don't care. I know there are like, six of you who actually like the freaking thing. That's okay. I need to write it.
I want to mention a couple of things about it, because I need a little break from fiction for a few minutes here.
My sequel will, of course, still be complete crack, but I decided to actually try to make Justin something remotely like, well, Justin. I originally based bottle!Justin on canon... the two seconds in Season 2 where Justin comes into Woody's looking for Brian, and he stands there all scared in his little grey hoodie? The rest was basically based on a golden retriever puppy.
Then there's Brian. My bottle!Brian fundamentally fell in love with Justin for no reason whatsoever except he was pretty, naked, and fainted a lot. The canonical roots of that? None whatsoever. It's like, so completely and astonishingly un-Brian I scared even myself, considering how I agonize over characerization in my serious fic. (Those of you who think I get that just as wrong should hush now, momma's talking.)
I did get all the characters from Xena pretty much perfect. I was v v proud of that.
So I'm going to see if the basic crackishness can continue if I let Justin be, well, a bit more Justin-like.
I kind of like woobie!Brian, so it remains to be seen what I do with him. I may just let him trail around after Justin and pine for a while. I'm just mean that way. It also leaves much more scope for the important lap sitting and carrying themes.
Don't feel any obligation to read the sequel to bottle!ficbut do be aware that I won't let them go 13 chapters before they fuck ever again.
I also have a sequel to my classic Xena fic, which was called "Persistence," that will go to beta next week. It's okay if you don't read that, too. I haven't figure out the title for that one yet. Hopefully before I post it, something will come to me.
The sequel to Risks is called "Families," but I think before I write that I'm going to post the first chapter of an AU I'm writing. I seem to be totally blocked on titles, as that one is still without one, too. My first AU. I'm really excited. I also am writing for the hurt/comfort challenge.

As one of the six (yeah, right), may I say that you could write your laundry list, and I would squee like a bitch. I'm just saying.

but do be aware that I won't let them go 13 chapters before they fuck ever again.Uh huh. See that you don't. I might be forced to...steal your shoes. yes, I am aware that I have an unhealthy facination with your shoes. Your own damn fault, taunting me with that icon.

Re: open open open
Xie might hear us. You know how she feels about naughtiness in her journal.
