Link to all my fic posts:


Harry Potter

Iron and Wine (D/Hr) His parents are dead, the war has been won, he's something of a hero, and Draco Malfoy has never felt more alone in his life. Lost people lead themselves strange places in the middle of the night.

Revolutions (D/Hr) "The world's still turning," she commented, walking back on the path home. He quirked a small smile. "It is."

And at ff.net: my author page, which horrifyingly enough includes the D/Hr multi-parter I started writing when I was thirteen. Spare yourself, honestly.


Battlestar Galactica

Blood (K/L) Cylon goo, dirty pilots, and severe exhaustion. Kara-centric, gen-ish.

Tenere Dualla-centric gen. She pretended not to notice more than most people ever would.


Narnia

Nylon (Peter/Susan) Susan Pevensie was a sensible woman- girl, she told herself- but she had a penchant for staying out late on weekend nights, and her mother was hardly the only person at home who had noticed.

To those of you who are used to BSG on this baby, be prepared: some much-belated Narnia!fic.

I will post the massive amounts of BSG icons I have been hoarding soon, but I thought this one deserved to see the light of day in a timely fashion:





you can't deny it. she even shot boomer and she's still awsome. maybe even more awesome.

the sci-fi channel marketing department has a DIRECT LINK TO MY BRAIN. 'BuckShep, anyone? they are like bizarro-land john/aeryn, and incidentally look totally badass together. I fear for the nuggets that land in their barrack (omg, plot bunny and half!)

also lee/liz makes so much sense to me at this hour that I fear for my sanity.

I finally finished and published a BSG fic! It is not the awesome cylon worshipping one that got lost to the vague cruelties of TextEdit, but it is a Kara and Lee pre-sweet hot pilot lovin' fic, and a general post-ep to Flight of the Phoenix. Go read it, oh beautiful, tiny f-list you. And also go join sf_friday48, 'cause it's the best challenge community ever.


Title: Blood
Author: lepetitarsenic
Rating: PG-13? I am sorry for the non-sex.
Words: Roughly ten million and a half. Or 2,076.
Characters: Kara 'n Lee, without being explicitly Kara/Lee. Though I ship seekritly.


(Blood (L&K, PG-13))

I broke my writer's block of about a year this morning. it was a beautiful idea for a fic; nothing like I'd ever seen in the bsg fandom before, totally gen, not particularly violent, creepifying in the way that only cylons can really be. it was nowhere near perfect, but it was done: two whole pages. and a whole arc in there.

lost in textedit. the thing has no recovery system.




clearly, god does not want me to write battlestar galactica fanfic.

damn you, god. there were kara!babies in there, too.

Home Part II : Like the love boat with guns and corpses.

( Everybody else. )

Spoilers for "Resistance" and unspoiled speculation about future episodes:

SPOILERS. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS.

I am so tempted to competely skip out on the Harry Potter fandom right now.

It makes me a little miserable that so few articulate Ron and Ginny fans are standing up publicly; that said, I haven't the energy nor the patience with people's poorly disguised psychological issues to write something myself. The daily_snitch is the root of my frustrations, if by no fault whatsoever of its own. Every day I see essays disparaging J.K.R.'s writing style, ripping Ginny Weasley to shreds, and explaining why H/Hr is the more "literate" and "intelligent" choice that Rowling failed to make.

Love is not about mythology or symbolism. Certainly not for Harry, who no one in their right mind would call an intellectual. And I plain don't care how much people wish, deep in their hearts, that it was. Harry Potter is not a romance novel or a two and a half hour movie. The hero does not get the girl just because she just so happens to be the only girl in his life so far. Harry grew up with a couple of awesome best friends; then, like most people, he fell in love with someone who he was well-suited for. Why the fandom has to go rabid about the fact that an interesting girl without any crippling character flaws (bad case of nerd, dead boyfriend, sheer insanity- Ginny's got flaws, but none of those Creative Writing 101 insta!depth types) is the one the hero picked is a complete and total mystery to me. Of course he likes Ginny; hell, if I was Harry, I'd like Ginny too. Just because the books aren't about Ginny and Harry and Ron doesn't by any stretch mean she isn't a logical choice.

The HP books are not formula novels or television shows. They're not even very much like regular books. J.K. dreams up her world, creates her characters (NORMAL TEENAGERS) and then drops them into extraordinary circumstances. Those that argue that the romances are plot-driven are being a bit ridiculous in my mind. In everything we're learned about Harry and Hermione's personalities from the person who created them, we've got no reason to think they'd be any better suited to each other than Hermione and Ron or Hermione and bloody Dean Thomas. We discover from J.K.R. what (and whom) our characters truly desire through their actions. It's terribly presumptuous to think you can predict what relationship will end in divorce or who's harboring secret twu wuvs. We don't know nearly enough about the inside of anybody's heart but Harry's.

Hermione happened to prefer Ron, and he Hermione. You can argue all you want for why the people are best suited to each other; I find that interesting, in fanfiction. But it doesn't matter a whit, really, as far as the actual books go. They picked each other. They like each other. It doesn't mean anything but the fact that those self-contained characters liked each other best, regardless of whose point of view the stories are being told from. That's what I love about Rowling's writing. She lets her characters (and their emotions) run free. She writes them like they're real people; as if she'd dropped them in a room and let them duke out how their relationships were going to form, and then told us all that wonderful story, plot holes and all.

So please, honestly, let's refrain from the "Harry's the hero" argument. Yes. Harry is the hero. Hermione is the best-established female. Of course we like her better than Ginny- we actually know Hermione. In the real world, there aren't any heroes, nor is anyone better established than anyone else, and J.K.'s trying as much as possible to write a world, not just a spot of exposition, some rising action, an inciting incident, climax, and resolution, where the best friend dies so the hero can be properly righteous and the only girl with a name is the one he rides off into the sunset with at the end.

Honestly. Give J.K. some credit. If her books were anything like that, would it really have spawned so massive a fandom?

Name omitted to protect the (mostly) innocent. Three reviews in one day, by the same person, on my long-abandoned mostly written while fourteen years old Draco/Hermione chaptered fic, Temptation Pour Deux, which I have yet to finish. I had no idea that people like this actually existed.

I'm sorry, but this kinda makes me barf. You write really well, and you made it almost plausible for Hermione to meet Draco at the tower, but still, Hermione/Draco? EW totally barf-o-rama. Sorry, it's not your writing, its your idea.

---

Oh no! This can't be happening! I actually started thinking that this could happen! Okay, I didn't, but I thought that maybe Draco could like Hermione. But that's not right, he's supposed to like Ginny. Oh dear, I've gone and confused myself. Okay, like you've said, this would never happen. J.K. Rowling would probably be furious that you've manipulated her characters in such a way. That, of course, would be before she realized what a wonderful writer you are.

I've decided that I hate you, because you wrote a good, and amazingly believeable (not saying much. Saying very little, in fact, but it's not your fault) Hermione/Draco fic. Nothing personal, but I think that bad ships should be written badly, so I can laugh at them and say how stupid they are. I hate it that I can't do this now.

Oh, and it would be much better with Ginny. There's tons of canon proof (well, if you're looking for it) for Ron/Hermione, and even though Ginny is totally for Harry, she's gone out with others, so I could believe it more. Maybe.

Anyway, So Long And Thanks For All The Fic! (Fish, whatever)

I forgot to say write more. Even though I hate you for being a good writer, you've got me hooked. I like Caden, lol.

Fin.

Little does poor Crack Baby know that I'm not only a R/Hr shipper but, well, you know- fanfiction is for fiction. Meta-fiction, i.e. as in I don't really write Ron/Hermione in a remotely plausible way because I'd rather see J.K. do it.

Heh.

OMG! The fic loridarling wrote for me in the dmhgficexchange is absolutely awesome. Please go read it, right now-ish.

Self Destruct in Five, by Loridarling.

and the obsessive david thewlis fangirling begins... now. pretty sure I was the only person in the audience thinking "there could be so much more of the hospitallers in this movie."

shockingly, I think orlando bloom pulled his (massive) role off. I've never been a huge fan of his, but after staring at him for about two and half hours straight I've come to the conclusion that he's actually rather expressive. who knows whether he'll better with age, but as long as he keeps choosing the right parts, I'll so be there.

in short, not ridley scott's best work ever. but an excellent movie if you like your epics with gravity and gaius baltar in chain mail.

in other preborn-fandom news, I shall undoubtedly see batman begins. but I will never, ever, forgive christian bale for reign of fire.
