Itchy Feet

So, it's been established the site I pimped yesterday is run by a crazy person who seems to think pairing lists are more important than actual history. Now, given the response to both the pimping of the site and the disappointment of discovering said crazy, Frito, Dex and I have been bouncing around some ideas.

Yes, you know where this is going. I apparently have too much spare time in my life. *wry*

Dex will be purchasing webspace sometime soon in order to host the Dexcon website. It's possible, if there's sufficient interest and need, that we can set up our own comic fandom wiki - Frito, Dex and I have already created and maintained one for X-Project, so we know how things operate, and given the fact wikis can be edited by anyone with user permissions, it'd be a good way of maintaining a CFAN-like list of archives, journal communities and mailing lists, given the most common complaint about comics fandom these days is that people don't know where the active sites are any more.

The thing is, I certainly don't want to end up writing large chunks of this thing, especially since I'm one of the 'third generation' of ficcers and there's whole reams of history I'm not up on. So we'd need the support and effort of a good chunk of the comics communitiy - writing, pimping, researching, producing images, etc. We already have a basic framework (we were hoping to institute it in CrazyGirl's site, but alas, no), that would cover hopefully the full gamut of comics fic, but there's a lot of work involved there. And it'd be preferable that we don't start this and see it dribble off into inactivity within a month or two.

So, who's interested?

For avarielwings, who asked for: Five AUs where x_wytchbrat met x_skin.

In response to this request by [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. Yvette, five years on.

( Nice try, darlin'. But what have I told you about non-vital areas? )

Another meme, this time grabbed from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com].

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll tell you want happened then in at least 100 words, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

Alternatively, give me a time and a character from RP: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] or [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com].

My fic (excluding the Subreality stuff) can largely be found here, or under the tag "fanfic" in this LJ. The Collective Mutants series (in order) can be found here.

Yes, my fanfic is all collected at the Pit of Voles. I need to send things to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com].

I've just posted the workshop fic Benway, Nute and I wrote. You can find it here.

Mainly people I've been talking to in person, but yeah.

Mythbusters fanfic. Adam and Jamie investigate the best way to kill a zombie.

Not one of the mprov fics, but something I wrote a couple of years ago and didn't like the ending. So I re-wrote it. Enjoy.

Fandom: Hellblazer/Books of Magic.

Rating: PG-13 for some swearing.

Summary: John Constantine and Tim Hunter have breakfast and discuss the state of Tim's magic. They're unaware they're providing an eavesdropper with some interesting ideas.

Set early on in Tim's career of being potentially this era's most powerful mage. Apologies for any offence caused by Certain Implications. ;)

No profit, only homage. And possibly some piss-taking.

Between [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], the prospect of a central comic fic noticeboard/newsletter has been raised, to cover the gaps left by the demise of OTL and CFAN. Go and check out the poll and make your opinion known..

I for one think it's a good idea. I know I've lost contact with a lot of comic ficcers since concentrating on LJ-land, and I've been gradually getting back into fanfic writing these past few months - having a central point to find stuff to read and places to post would do a lot to encourage that more.

Well, three, really, but they're all pretty short drabble-ish ones. For [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] who asked for the following:
