Title: The Hazards of Rick Astley (NaDraWriMo: Day 4)
Fandom: Iron Man
Characters/Pairing: Tony Stark and JARVIS
Spoilers: Iron Man movieverse
Rating: PG
Word Count: 235
Summary: JARVIS has a litle fun with Tony. Pure fluff for my own amusement.
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!). The idea is just to get my lazy and work-bogged self writing again, and writing for things that aren't RP.

I guess I'm just exploring Tony's vices right now. Oprah and the View last night, and tonight, the New York Mets. (My Tony headvoice is a GIANT Mets fan. I don't know why, but he is. I've tried to get him to convert to the Cubs, but it's just not happening. He loves his Mets!)

( I really don't know about you, JARVIS. )

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 :-)

( That was how he came to meet the O'Connells. )

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.

Sooooo.... Betty and the Bat was fandomsecretsed . Number 106. This one.

>.>

<.<

I need to stop being swamped by school.

O hai.

I'm alive. Moved back to school this week and am finishing up whattheficathon, which is taking much longer than I'd originally thought!

That said, yeah, there's some Betty coming soon >.> I have a chapter finished, and two half done, one of which involves meeting Dick. Finally. Maybe this weekend, but I make no promises!

Just saying hi :D

Title: Drabble #3
Author: wrigleyfield
Fandom: BtVS/Oceans 11
Pairing/Characters: Buffy/Rusty
Rating/Category: PG
Word Count: 711
Spoilers: Season 6 of Buffy
Summary: Written for the marriage proposal meme
Notes: I haven't written Buffy in aaaaages (and the last time I did it was this shit horrible 90,000 word craptastic Harry Potter/Buffy xover. Oh middle school.) so this was interesting. I've also never written Rusty, so I focused on the one thing I always focus on for him... his eating habits.

Requested by: tinpra.

( Do you want fries with that? )

Something borrowed, something blue...something like that. Give me two characters from any fandoms (crossovers or not) and I will write you a short drabble of what a marriage proposal could be like for them! Feel free to pick anything.

My fandoms: Indiana Jones, The Mummy, Marvelverse, DCU, Buffy, Reaper, Angel, Robin Hood, Ugly Betty, Oceans 11, Carmen Sandiego, the West Wing, Dogma, MLB!slash, and the Office.

Or if you know something I've written before and want to request, that's cool too :D

Title: What Children Forget
Author: wrigleyfield
Fandom: Reaper
Pairing/Characters: Sam, Ben, Sock, Josie, Mrs. Oliver, and the Devil
Rating/Category: PG
Word Count: 4,454
Spoilers: No season finale spoilers. Basic premise spoilers apply.
Summary: At eight years old, Sock has an imaginary friend who tells him to do things, but for some reason Sam is the only one who can see it. This is sort of a 'what could have happened' story featuring the characters in childhood. bb!Reapers, as my word file name reads.
Notes: I've always made assumptions about the friendships of the main three and their girls. In my mind, Sam, Sock, Ben, and Josie have probably known each other since first or second grade. That's how they ended up together, because I'm not sure Josie would have given him a second look if they'd only just met in high school. Andi was a late addition to the group, probably a high school friend of Josie's, and thus she's not applicable here.

It's a stand alone and I got the idea mainly from watching a lot of Family Guy and listening to the Damn Yankees soundtrack. Fans of the two might see the homage. It's pretty blatant. And, well, you know the obvious... please don't sue, because I own none of it.

Many thanks to ittykat who read it through, betaed, and made sure that my kids sounded like kids.

( He's not a good listener. He's got ADHD. )

I had an idea on the train this morning. I don't think I have time to write said idea, or the skill. It's unfortunate, but SOMEONE should write it :-/

Reaper + Eli Stone, anyone? Boy who works for the Devil meets the lawyer who works for God? Perhaps boy who works for the Devil asks the lawyer who works for God to look over a certain eternally binding contract?

I'd love to read that. I'm not sure whether or not I grasp the legalese to write it though. Or know the Eli characters well enough, for that matter.

Besides, I have two Betty stories which are half done and sitting on my harddrive. Unfortunately work has been kicking my ass this summer. Slowly but surely Betty gets written.

I saw the Dark Knight again today as well? Thoughts?? I feel like I can discuss it now. Seeing it again actually made me slightly happier with the way the charity ball turned out at the end of the first Betty and the Bat arc. The Joker wasn't exactly right, but I felt like I got Bruce well enough, and his reactions in a situation like that. That was one of the few scenes I could envision slipping Betty into.

Anyway, enough of my babble. I'll get back to writing now :-)

Title: Betty, the Bat, and the Bird: (Ficlet #3)
Fandom: Batman Begins/Ugly Betty
Characters/Pairing: Betty Suarez, Bruce Wayne
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2,460
Summary: Betty gives Bruce one of her famed peptalks. Bruce decides to leave the country. Maybe not the result she was hoping for.
Notes: I've been busy with getting a job and getting whattheficathon ready. Obviously Dark Knight is coming out soon, and while I completely intend to finish this, I might write a drabble or two for that here and there. I'm also working on a small Reaper fic. So those were my distractions too. But I make it up to you with a slightly longer ficlet! Hopefully it's worth it. I do enjoy Bruce in this one.

• First Arc: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13, Part14, and Part 15

• Second Arc: Part 1, Part 2

( Um, hello, I'm standing right here. )
