Writing is like exercise: You don't do it and you forget how. So I'm going back to the Ficlette Fiasco prompts from last year to get into the writing again. Here's the first of today's writing exercises.

Ficlette Fiasco IV, for [livejournal.com profile] silverblade219: Dawn meets Rory, any of your 'verses.

Saturday Morning Cartoons
A Physics of the Spin/Dawning Light remix
by [livejournal.com profile] mhalachaiswords


Summary: What might happen if Dawn fell into Stars Hollow instead of Anita Blake's world...
Rating: G
Setting: a year after the current setting of Physics of the Spin, but nothing about how that story will turn out.
Words: 650
Note: I love remixing Dawning Light. There's so many possibilities. (Case in point, with Supernatural)

Rory opened her eyes, disoriented. )

For the Ficlette Fiasco IV, still plugging away. This is for [livejournal.com profile] sparrowwritings: Dawning Light: Supernatural. More Mini!Dawn with Sam and Dean. Prompt: the colour pink and metallica.

Pie a la mode
Dawning Light Remix, Supernatural Style
by [livejournal.com profile] mhalachaiswords

Setting: Middle of season three, before Dean spoiler ). Nothing beyond that into season four.
Rating: PG for Dean's language
Follow-up to Fire in the Fields

The 2008 Crossing Over Award winners are up! And I am very pleased to announce that I have won three categories!

Best non-BtVS/AtS Crossover
Agent Afloat Atlantis (NCIS/SGA)

Ziva's new assignment certainly isn't what she expected.


Best Crossover Series
Dawning Light (BtVS/Anita Blake)

Dawn fell from Glory's tower and into the portal. Now she's all alone and scared... but sometimes family comes from the strangest places.


Best Portrayal of Other Characters (Riley Finn)
In the Key of Major Finn
(BtVS/GG)
Years later, Lorelai liked to start the story like this: One sunny summer Connecticut day, Adonis walked into the Dragonfly Inn.


Not at all bad for a slow BtVS fic year :D Thanks to all who voted and to all who read my writing!

And now for some numbers on the stories )

Lastly, and I almost missed this, I received 37 nominations. My story Agent Afloat Atlantis received 29 nominations. Whoop!

So many thanks to all voters/readers, and a hearty congratulations to everyone who was nominated. TTH has attracted some of the best crossover authors out there, and it's amazing to see that hard work recognized.

Dawning Light
A Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Anita Blake crossover
Chapter Fourteen: Family Hour
by [livejournal.com profile] mhalachaiswords


Summary: Dawn fell from Glory's tower and into the portal. Now she's all alone and scared... but sometimes family comes from the strangest places.
Disclaimer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer belongs to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. Anita Blake belongs to Laurell K. Hamilton. No profit has been made from this fic, and the only benefit to me is personal satisfaction and the creative process. I hope you enjoy.
Rating: PG
Words: 6,625
Spoilers: Danse Macabre only, nothing from subsequent books.
Note: This is partly the Family Hour remix I promised a few years ago. Once it occurred to me to make it part of the narrative, I couldn't unseen it. I actually think this makes the story stronger, so yay. Previous parts here

Chapter Thirteen: End of the World News
by Mhalachai


Summary: Dawn fell from Glory's tower and into the portal. Now she's all alone and scared... but sometimes family comes from the strangest places.
Disclaimer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer belongs to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. Anita Blake belongs to Laurell K. Hamilton. No profit has been made from this fic, and the only benefit to me is personal satisfaction and the creative process. I hope you enjoy.
Rating: PG
Words: 4,860
Spoilers: Danse Macabre only, nothing from subsequent books.
Note: All I can say is, this story is from Dawn's point of view, but the real story in this is the reaction of the adults. I've tried to keep it both true to Dawn and her view of the world, and how I'd react if I was Anita. Man, this story is hard to write.

scheduling

For the first time in my life, I have made up a writing schedule in order to actually get stuff done.

And for your edification, here it is (in order).

1. Chapter 10 of Physics of the Spin. The end of that chapter is a nice place to break for a bit, by which I mean a really nasty cliffhanger. I might or might not work on this while I'm working on #3, will see.

2. Chapter 13 of Dawning Light, which is the end of the first installment. There is a great deal of plot spacing between Part I and Part II, so the delay is a natural one, and it's a place I can leave it for a while. No, I'm not going to explain that one further ;)

3. The rest of Inevitable. I'm moving it to the "end" of this schedule because it's not going to be a quick process.

And there may/will be small ficlettes in the middle, mostly Torchwood related at this point because new fandoms are fun and inspiring.

Winz!

If you're only going to read one Dawning Light missing scene this year, read this one. It's Nathaniel's thoughts on Dawn, and let's just say that Dawn really doesn't know what he's thinking.

Dear universe: I will give you a candy cane if you take away the rampantly reproducing plot bunnies for a sequel to the Supernatual/Gilmore Girls/House story I posted on Sunday. I will also give you a pony. And a cookie.

This Quasi-Drabble challenge entry gets its own entry because it's big.
