apckrfan: unashamedly a hopeless fangirl!
03 May 2012 @ 06:50 am
This is everything I've posted since my last actual update in September 2011. Everything is posted complete to my fic journal: [info]apckrfansfic except the most recent story Everybody Wants To Put Me Down, I will be posting a part a day, but it is complete at my website. I will try and get better at posting updates as I post stuff, I just get sidetracked too easily I guess.


  • Everybody Wants To Put Me Down
    Part 21 added May 3, 2012 and is complete. This is Heroes/Knockaround Guys crossover with general spoilers for both. Taylor Reese has joined his friend Matty in leaving the family business behind them. Trying to get his life together and legitimate he struggles to overcome his past and the connections still associated with his name. Claire's in New York with the Petrelli's. This is a crossover with the film Knockaround Guys and is a sequel to my BtVS/Knockaround Guys crossover Seventh Inning Stretch.
  • Taking A Chance
    Added April 18, 2012 and is complete in 10 parts. This is an Adventures in Babysitting fic with general spoilers for the entire movie, slightly AU ending. This was written for LJ community smallfandombang (sister comm to smallfandomfest), requirement was 10,000 words in a small fandom. I had this idea rolling around in my brain for a while so thought the big bang might actually get me to write it down. The kids weren't the only ones privy to Dan kissing Chris. More or less a coming of age story for Chris, deciding whether to branch out into territory her parents may not approve of and the result of those decisions. 32,000 +/- words.
  • Singular Side
    Added February 15, 2012 and is complete in 1 part. This is a Person of Interest fic with general spoilers for the first 14 episodes. It's a gen fic in response to the pofinterest-fic LJ community for Valentine's Day. 1,291 words.

  • Guilt and Sorrow
    Added 11/30/2011 and is complete in 1 part. This is a Willow centric Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic set during Season 2, specifically post-Passion. Written for the LJ comm Which Witch Ficathon. 1,418 words.
  • The Stuff Life Is Made Of
    Added 11/15/2011 and is complete in 7 parts. This is a Buffy/Angel Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic. Spoilers for both series entirely, no comics though. Ten years after Sunnydale was turned into a crater, Buffy uproots herself from a stable, relatively nice existence at Giles' request when a previously unknown about hellmouth is discovered in Florida. There she has to deal with an inexperienced slayer and encountering someone from her past she hasn’t seen for years. Written for 2011 IWRY Marathon. 29,949 words.

So, it's been a while since I've updated here and I thought it was about time since I'm not as prolific these days as I once was. I mentioned a while ago I'm no longer posting works in progress, and the bulk of my writing these days seems to be in multi-chaptered pieces. Downside, long spells go by with my posting nothing so it appears I'm not working on anything. (So not true!) Upside, when I do post a story, it'll be complete. There are a couple of exceptions to this: two Claire Bennet/Haition (Heroes) fics and one Kylie Strutemyer/Xander Harris (Slither/BtVS/Heroes) because I'd already begun posting those as I completed each part before I made my "only complete fics" rule.

First, I did write a 25,000+ word story for November's I Will Remember You ficathon, The Stuff Life Is Made Of, was my offering and can be found at both my site and my fic journal.

Second, I'm taking part in the [info]smallfandombang this spring. Minimum word count requirement is 10,000 and I have over 25,000 words of an Adventures in Babysitting fic written for it. I'm not done yet, but I've reached an end point so should finish up shortly. Stories are due March 31, so look for that then.

And, just so you know what I'm working on:
1 additional Adventures in Babysitting story (set 4 years post-movie)
7 Buffy the Vampire Slayer stories (one is a crossover with Law & Order, one is a crossover with Angel)
1 Fringe fic (this is actually an incomplete fic that Part 1 is posted and I just haven't gotten around to working on it again until lately)
6 Heroes fics (the 2 above mentioned Claire/Haitian pieces, a Medium crossover, a Castle crossover, a Knockaround Guys crossover and a Claire/Adam piece)
1 Labyrinth piece
2 Phantom of the Opera pieces
1 The Breakfast Club fic (same as above with the Fringe fic, started it, posted it Part 1 & 2 and haven't gotten around to working on it again until lately)
1 Twin Peaks fic

So, I have a lot on my plate!

Today is my day for the [info]iwry_marathon (http://iwry.darkstarfic.com/)

My offering is close to 30,000 words, entitled The Stuff Life Is Made Of. Part 1 is at my fic journal: [info]apckrfansfic - the complete story is at my site here.

Enjoy! And if you're a fan of B/A (not all stories are 'shippy, just focused on these two characters) be sure to check out the fics this year and previous years.

Now I have to work on my [info]whichwitch ficathon entry (thank you [info]dragonydreams for the extension!)

Cheers!

Two posts in one day, don'[t keel over from shock!

This past weekend was Fargo's ValleyCon. I was so excited when I found out that Clare Kramer was the featured guest (the woman who plays Amanda on Nikita was also on appearance list originally but something must have happened because she was scratched last month).

I’m not going to say a whole lot about author David Weber. I didn’t dislike him, but holy cats can he ramble on and on and on about *nothing*. He, literally talked for over two hours. Stephy and I just didn’t have the patience to sit through the whole thing. I did stick around long enough to hear that it sounds like at least 4-5 Honor Harrington movies are guaranteed to be in the works, and the production company are giving him some control over scripting (technical stuff).

Onto Clare Kramer.

Oh my gosh. I cannot say enough how much of a class act she is. From her seeming genuine enthusiasm in talking to the people who got her autographed pics to her Q&A hour, she was just nice, personable, answered every question thrown at her. A couple were a little tricky, but she fielded them well, answered in a way that didn’t dis anybody. It sounds like she’s one of the people like Nathan who would say yes to Joss before even knowing what the project was because she enjoyed the experience of working for him so much. She’s a mother (her kids are 3-1/2 and 18 months) and she said the 3-1/2 year old is just starting to grasp her mom is famous. She said that Bring It On was on TV recently and they watched it, and the 3-1/2 year old was all “that’s mommy”. How cute :)

I asked her if she would let her kids watch Buffy, when age appropriate, and she said most definitely for sure.

She said she enjoys playing characters like Glory because that’s what acting is about, and playing someone so different than she is in real life. She said she was somewhat disappointed that her appearance in Season 7 was so brief, but that she was happy to do it (and that segued to what I said above, that she sounds like one of the people who would agree to work with Joss without much argument or negotiation involved). She said that working on Buffy was so great because she was just starting out and to work with so many established actors: Sarah, ASH, etc. was a great experience.

She told a funny story about her minions. She said they showed up hours before the rest of the cast to get their makeup put on and had to stay hours later than everyone to have the prosthetics removed, etc. So at the end of the season they in regular clothes sans makeup walked up to her to say how nice it was to work with her and she had no idea who they were! LOL

Anyway, she’s always been one of my favorites (the only woman I would ever say I’ve had a “crush” on), so I was so utterly and completely pleased to discover that she was just such a class act.

One other thing, there was a mom there who asked a question about advice she'd give to young aspiring actors (her son, about 16, was clearly the "young aspiring actor" in this case). Clare had great advice that included ensuring college was completed. She mentioned this in more than one answer fielded about this type of question, so it was nice to hear her give that advice (as a mother, I appreciated it LOL, not that my daughter has aspirations to be an actor, just saying, good to know she's imparts that advice on people).

Purchases:
Steph bought a couple of Buffy things, a South Park Kenny thing for the beau, and a pic of Clare in the red dress. (She bought the Buffy/Angel dolls I wanted, mean kid!)

I bought a vamp Buffy doll, an Angel doll, a devil Hello Kitty for my youngest, and a different pic of Clare in the red dress. I didn’t have too much money so had to be a little stingy. Tons of Star Wars goodies, which made me sad to leave behind :(

In VM ... Logan described the Logan/Veronica relationship as epic in a drunken state...

I guess seeing Jason Dohring on Ringer this past week got me thinking about Veronica Mars (may have to rewatch when I have some downtime, not that that’s in the cards anytime soon).

Anyway, it brings me to my question ...

The shows,books, movies, comics, whatever entertainment material you may want to include...
What relationships do you consider epic?

They don’t have to be romantic, I personally think the Buffy/Willow/Xander dynamic is pretty epic as is the Buffy/Giles dynamic.

So, epicness, who do you think of when you hear that?

It's been a while since I did a fic update post. Sorry! Here's everything I've posted so far in 2011 (which isn't a lot). As usual, links lead to my website, however, you can read them at my fic journal. I do have a few things that I'm working on that I haven't posted anything from, so hopefully you'll see more from me again soon.

Link to a song put out by a good friend’s daughter (good enough friend that it was between her and someone else to be my oldest’s godmother).
 
It’s rather catchy, filed under POP on itunes. Check it out at iTunes, you can preview it without buying and this link here is to the iTunes website not their store (but you can access the iTunes store from the page): http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/shelby-townsend/id433862315
