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.

Oh, go on, blame it on me! ;)

Depending on how much my first draft sucks and how much red ink is on said draft when it's returned to me, promptly as always, by my beloved and very speedy beta.
How's that?
no subject
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.
The sequel to Risks is called "Families,"

Damn skippy.

I'm really glad to hear that. I was beginning to worry that we were experiencing death by fedora.
I have to admit that naked!fainting!Justin has a special place in my heart. So I hope you will include at least one fainting spell.
no subject
He'll faint, I promise.

When I thought of "Persistance," the first word I thought of was "persuasion." Don't know if that helps with the title, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
Your first AU. YAY. I'm very curious.
no subject
... new AU fic
... hurt/comfort challange fic
YAY!
Oh, Xie, you spoil us- but I'm not complaining. You're a gem!
*loves*

A lot of people seem happy I'm writing an AU... it's a LOT of fun!

The fact that you're writing an AU totally blows me away. I can't wait to see what your premise is.
Last night a lot of fics were started/updated. After your recent post I've just been mentally noting them. LOL

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.
So, you based this on 80% of the fanfic out there, huh?
Oooh, pining!Brian! Gimme crack, baby!
Really looking forward to the AU. I'm totally into them these days.
no subject
Oh, yes, the dire warnings of its demise are always rather like the shaggy men wearing placards that predict Jesus's coming with flames and everything.
Although I suppose the flames are about right...
Hee!
no subject
Ohh so much XieFic! To look forwards too ….
After reading your thoughts on AU I’m really excited about your fic.
no subject
An AU you say? Whoa. I’m really curious to see what you come up with.
*sits back and waits* All this new fic. This is going to be so much fun! Providing it doesn’t kill you first.

Re: open open open
Two of Six, huh? That sounds kinky.
C'mere...
*wet, smacking sounds and moaning issues from behind the curtain*
Re: open open open
Xie might hear us. You know how she feels about naughtiness in her journal.
*more wet smacking and licking and a bit of whimpering from behind the curtain*
Re: open open open
I thought she liked naughtiness in her journal...
Let's move this to her shoe closet. :)

Looking forward to bottle/Justin/Brian/Xena/Gabrielle(sp?),that was the first story of yours I read.
I'm amazed you're doing the hurt/comfort challenge given your angst-phobia, good for you, I can't wait to read it.
