Three dollars and some change

Sometimes, when I'm in the middle of a very long fic (NCIS/SGA at 32,000 words 4srsktnx), I like to try a little writing exercise. Today's exercise is a set of ascending drabbles (100 words, then 200 words, etc.) on a character I've never ficced before. Results are:

Papa was a rodeo (Mama was a rock n' roll band)
The five stages of grief of Dr. Jeanne Benoit
five NCIS crossovers

( Denial (Bones) )
( Anger (Highlander) )
( Bargaining (Supernatural) )
( Depression (Pretender) )
( Acceptance (Gilmore Girls) )

Summary: Five people the Doctor talked into going on the TARDIS (in that saucy crossover way). Part IV: Nathaniel (Anita Blake)
Disclaimer: Russell T. Davis and the BBC own the Doctor. Nathaniel Graison and that world belong to LKH.

( Nathaniel huddled in the darkest corner of the doorway, curled in on himself and wishing he was dead. )

Part II: Buffy Summers (BtVS)
Part III: Dean Winchester (SPN)
Part IV: Nathaniel Graison (AB)

( Buffy's boots sounded a soft rat-a-tat on the paving stones as she crossed a street in shadows. A cafe on the corner, full of laughing teenagers and cozy couples, held the promise of normality, if only for a few minutes. Her steps never faltered. She had lived through too much for 'normal'.  )

Summary: Five times Jack kissed a member of Torchwood (and one time that he really, really didn't)
Disclaimer: Russell T. Davis and the BBC own it all.
Rating: PG-13 for some brief swearing. It's all pre-watershed hour.
Setting/Spoilers: Set early in series two of Torchwood, after 2.03, with spoilers for that, and a Casting Spoiler for later in the series - be warned. Some spoilers for the last bit of series three of Dr. Who.
Characters/Pairings: Jack paired with Gwen, Tosh, Owen, ( Casting Spoiler ), Ianto, and a mystery character. And, of course, any sundry of these with innuendo in the background.
Words: Around 3,000, all told.
Notes: Any character study involving Jack Harkness is going to involve kissing. It's like a rule.

Summary: Five crossover situations that never happend to Faith

Characters/Pairings: Faith in all, and none. Nope. Zip. Nadda.

Rating: PG-13 for swearing.
