Hello!

So, instead of NaNoWriMo, I will be attempting a Drabble/short story a day for the month of November. 100-1,000 words of story in various fandoms. National Drabble Writing Month, I will refer to it as.

We'll see how far I get with this.

Title: Betty and the Bat: Very Random Future Ficlet (NaDraWriMo: Day 1)
Fandom: Batman Begins/Ugly Betty
Characters/Pairing: Betty Suarez, Christina McKinney, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne, mentions of Superman
Spoilers: Ugly Betty S1 and Batman Begins
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,452
Summary: Betty praises her friend's success in the world of heroic fashion design
Notes: Instead of National Novel Writing Month, I'll be attempting to drabble/ficlet once a day throughout the month of November. They're going to be quick, dirty, and all betaed by the lovely ittykat. They're definitely not going to all be in my Betty/Bruce 'verse, and they're not all going to be crossovers either. The idea is just to get my lazy and work-bogged self writing again, and writing for things that aren't RP.

That said, starting in the Betty/Bruce 'verse was the easiest jumping off point. This takes place about two years after the current Betty and Bruce arc. Betty is still working as Bruce's assistant and Christina has just gotten out from underneath Wilhelmina's Mode-shaped thumb. I'd reccomend having read at least some of the Betty and the Bat 'verse before reading this one, as it won't make much sense otherwise!

This counts for November 1st. I'm just late. Luckily, Daylight Savings Time is an amazing thing. Also, if there's something you'd like to see written, I offer my prompt table. I'm counting on prompts to get me through the next thirty days!

EDIT: Duh, I'd meant to say that the suits referenced in the fic are the Returns version, vs. the more traditional 90s/comicy version. Personally, I'm a fan of the comic!suit version, as much as I enjoyed Brandon Routh.

Title: Father Figures (NaDraWriMo: Day 2)
Fandom: Indiana Jones and the Mummy series
Characters/Pairing: Henry 'Mutt' Jones the III, Alex O'Connell, Rick O'Connell, Evie O'Connell, Marion Ravenwood, and Harold Oxley
Spoilers: The Mummy Returns and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (for the purposes of this 'verse, the third Mummy movie does not exist).
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,271
Summary: As Marion entertains old friends for dinner, Oxley ponders on Mutt's parentage.
Notes: Instead of National Novel Writing Month, I'll be attempting to drabble/ficlet once a day throughout the month of November. They're going to be quick, dirty, and all betaed by the lovely ittykat and zenni (who is doing the same thing!). They're definitely not going to all be in my Betty/Bruce 'verse, and they're not all going to be crossovers either. The idea is just to get my lazy and work-bogged self writing again, and writing for things that aren't RP.

That said, this is an idea that's been kicking around the ol' brain for some time now. KotCS certainly wasn't my favourite Indiana Jones movie, and I still haven't seen the third Mummy movie, but I love what both franchises were before the studios and George Lucas got trigger happy. KotCS was fun, at least, once I got past the whole nuclear explosion in a fridge thing, and the movie gave us Mutt who I immediately decided needed slashing with Alex O'Connell.

This might not sound weird except for the fact that I'm generally not a fan of slash and I don't really write explicit slash. Even when I set out to write it tonight, I ended up going at it from a complete back story angle instead of jumping into it like I'd meant to. If I continue to drabble in this idea, then yes, slash is definitely coming out of it, but as they are eight and sixteen in this one, there's no slash. That would be wrong and LJ would probably snipe me. It's just the older brother admiration from Mutt that I see their relationship developing from, as seen through the eyes of Harold Oxley.

The Mummy Returns takes place in 1933 and KotCS takes place in 1957. For the purposes of this fic though, I notched up the TMR to 1937, meaning Alex was born in 1929. Mutt was born nine years later in 1938.

And now I shut up and let you read :-)
