Welcome, one and all, to the Trek Femslash Comment Ficathon!

Rules and What-not:

1. Stories should be femslash. And about Star Trek characters. Crossovers are a-ok. Any length, any rating, any theme or style. Heck, if you're moved to a vid or icons or something, those are good too.
2. Prompts should be in the format PAIRING; PROMPT WORD(S)
3. Leave as many prompts as you like, fill as many as you like. There's no need to post a story if you post a prompt.
4. Feel free to write for prompts that already have fills - the more the merrier!
5. For fills, please note pairing, rating and any applicable warnings in the comment header.
6. Play nice; have fun!

So, I really lucked out with a recipient who basically requested everything I love to write, and so I had lots of fun coming up with ideas and lots of angst trying to choose between them!

In the end I came up with:

Another Woman's Stairs (Downton Abbey, G, Mrs Hughes, with a bit of Carson and some mention of Cora)

And also I wrote a little something for Madness:

Want (Jam and Jerusalem, G, Susie/Caroline)

On the subject of Jam and Jerusalem, I received:

Changes Rung on an Old Theme by Ishie, a beautiful fic that gives everyone a few wonderful lines and a gorgeous scene between Sal and Eileen at the end. So exciting because there is barely any J&J fic, and this just did everything that I hoped it would do!

Other than that, I'm so behind on reading because I was in Wales until the 28th and then we got back and our carbon monoxide alarm went off and the emergency guy came and switched everything off and there's no engineer until tomorrow so we've been staying with silly_cleo, minihannah, jakera and Kirstie, who while generous have no internet! ;D (At the moment we're camping in our freezing living room so we can all catch up on email...)

Hope everyone else had a good Yuletide!

The first five people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble/ficlet of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.

Knock yourselves out, [mostly] ladies!

Notes: This was my premiere for vidukon this weekend.

1. We've been watching some Next Gen lately. Arsenal of Freedom is, in its cheesy way, kind of awesome. Seriously, Geordi gets to be in charge of the ship and kick ass and be a great leader - when does he ever get that kind of story again? And Deanna's pretty cool in it too. Also we watched Family - another excellent cheese-fest. Oh, Worf's parents! I ♥ them so.
2. The where_no_woman New Year ficathon got revealed! I got written Awesome Guinan/Pulaski (so excited!!), and I wrote Guinan back-story, which people seemed to quite like, yay! Lots of other great stories in the exchange too.
3. If you like graphic novels, fairytales, things that pass the Bechdel Test, or all three, then you need to read Castle Waiting. Like, immediately. Heck, you need to even if you don't like those things. I don't care.
4. There is Malory Towers kinky teacher femslash in the world. Just thought y'all should know. (Also, femslash people - you should read this DS9 fic for the title alone).
5. Just because I haven't mentioned vidukon yet this post - carawj and tellitslant are VJing a femslash vidshow! So if you know of any awesome femslash vids, in any fandom, please do mention them here.

Fandom stocking got revealed last night, and I've been a very lucky girl this year. ;)

The marvellous carawj wrote a TNG/Downton Abbey crossover with Troi/Pulaski, and dressing up, and saving people, and cuteness and awesome!!! It's so brilliant I hyperventilated a bit.

I've also been very spoiled on the Kira/Dax front - sophia_gratia wrote me a gorgeous, super-hot ficlet, shinyjenni made the most ridiculously win picspam, and eponymous_rose wrote me an absolutely beautiful fic.

medie gave me fantastic icons of awesome Trek ladies and a wonderful Miranda Jones/Number One ficlet, which, best idea for a pairing ever!

paranoidangel42 wrote me Sarah Jane and Ace being completely awesome together, and it is adorable!

Also, lots of people left me lovely greetings, including a picture of Mel from morgeil!


As for what I did, the ficlets I wrote are HERE and I'm about to post the vid I made for carawj.

So, I'm not really in the mood to do my usual Christmas wishlist post and stuff, so instead I decided I would make a list of some of the fics and vids that I've really enjoyed this year. With the caveat that most of them will probably be quite recent because the beginning of the year is hard to remember. And there are probably plenty I've forgotten that ruled. Anyways:

Fic:

Like an Elephant, by biichan - Mel and Donna (one of my favourite unusual DW pairings) being awesome.
A very short exploration of phone (actually telegraphic) sex and orgasm control, in which this title is several times longer than the fic itself, by Skud - I don't even read Sherlock Holmes fic, but this made me LOL so hard...
Terra Firma, by carawj - Best Naomi Wildman fic ever. And I'm not even saying that just because my girlfriend wrote it. Although she did.
An extract from "The Witch’s Guide to Pregnancy, Birth, and Baby Care", by Alarica Rosier. Chapter Nine: What if my Baby is a Squib?, by Nineveh_uk - This is very sad and disturbing. Also it was originally written in 2007 but it as posted to AO3 recently so it totally counts.
Reflections, by sophiegrace - The only thing better than one Kira is two Kiras. Especially if one of them is evil. Muhahaha. Rated Mature, click at your own risk!
A Memory of Stars, by eponymous_rose - Gorgeous little moment between Kira and Jake.
Modern Love, by Penknife - OK, so this is from last year but I discovered it this year. I don't usually read Discworld fic at all, but this is about LGBT dwarves, and it's AWESOME.

Vids:

Dance of Joy, by Talumin - Multifandom, people dancing. It makes me go :D
I Can't Hear the Music, by Settiai - Awesome Kai Winn character study
Say, by sarasdano - Another DS9 vid, a wonderful team one
I Wish I Was James Bond, by kuwdora - I know everyone has recced the crap out of this recently, but it's JUST. SO. COOL. Julian Bashir wants to be James Bond. Just watch it, y'all.

Feel free to rec me things if it looks like there's great stuff I've missed!
