in-progress meme

[beboots]

 In a continuing effort to procrastinate on my homework (my thesis draft is staring as balefully as a pile of papers can at me from the corner of my desk), and, encouraged by the AWESOMENESS of everyone who seems to read this journal and their participation in that let-me-tell-you-a-history-story meme I held a few days ago... (People can still post prompts, by the way! It is by no means closed! You may even post a second prompt if you wish!) I've decided to participate in another meme that's been making the rounds of my f-list... 

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Upon request, I will post a random line or two from any of these you choose. Assuming that the file adds up to a full line, that is.

I'm not sure if very many people know, but I do write quite a bit of random bits and pieces of fanfic. My problem is that they're generally just snippets of scenes and dialogue at best... although I have a LOT of sometimes incredibly long outlines. So my WIP folder is actually quite large. My problem is that they always seem to STAY as WIPs, and never, well, progress to completion. In any case, I will post bits (or even more than bits!) for those curious. 

On a completely separate note, I'm also planning on making a picture post to go with all of the responses to the history meme, possibly tomorrow or maybe later today. You shall get a historical image to go along with the story, so that you can put names to faces! :) 

Anyway, here is the list of documents in my bulky "My fanfic" folder... Some of the titles you may recognize from pieces I have posted before, but others, not so much... I also tend to have rather descriptive titles (some with fandoms, some mysteriously without!), so hopefully some will strike your fancy! Feel free to request up to three at a time. :)

Haha, I'm trying to find fics that a) are in fandoms that I'm in, and b) that you haven't already told me about. XD Can I just request that? (i.e., a fic you haven't yet told me about)

Reading through your history meme, too, and I'll come up with something to ask! (Studying? What is this studying thing of which you speak?)

Edited because I can't type.

Tumnus in Spare Oom

[beboots.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I talk to you about so many of my fics, Cassidy dearest... Sometimes I tell you about story ideas that never even get written down... Hmm... You've read/watched the Narnia series, right? How about this crossover... This one actually has bits of dialogue! Not an outline! (Unusual)


Or, at least, Mr. Tumnus was fairly certain that this place was called “Spare Oom”. Lucy Pevensie had never been entirely clear about the name of the place that she had come from, and had thrown around names like “War Droab,” “Spare Oom”, “Aarth” and “Ingle-land” almost interchangeably.

Still, one thing was for sure: he definitely wasn’t in Narnia anymore.

---- (When he cheerfully went to a small nearby town to ask for directions, Tumnus ends up freaking out the muggles and eventually being captured by the Magical Creatures Department of the Ministry For Magic. Eventually, he somehow ends up either in the Burrow or in Grimmauld Place, I'm not sure which (or why).) All Tumnus now wants is to make some tea. ----

Mrs. Weasley, with the intent of helping him at the stove, drew her wand.

Mr. Tumnus started violently sideways with the sound of hooves skittering on linoleum, nearly dropping the pot that he was holding.

“Please put that away,” he asked her, not looking in her direction, even going so far as to hold a hand over his closest eye like a horse blinder.

“Why? It’s just a wand-“

“The last time someone pointed one at me, I woke up in a cell. And- and the time before that, I got turned into a statue, and the time before that, I –“

The faun sounded so distressed that Mrs. Weasley couldn’t not put her wand away.

Aww. :)

Haha, I'm actually not all that familiar with Narnia. I've seen the movie (2005? Or something??) of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but that's more or less the extent of my knowledge. XD Thus, my short comment.

(That's the extent of my experience too! Although I'm planning on reading the whole series this summer. Tumnus just struck my imagination. He is adorable, he and his red scarf and umbrella...)
