Gifty Gifts of Giftness!
Nov. 15th, 2011 09:08 pmAll right, people, this is it! I'm going to do another 12 fics in 12 days thing. If you want a fic, you'll need to follow the instructions below and not expect brilliance :-) This year has been kind of a wash for me (can I get a do-over?), but I hope gift fic awesomeness will end it with a bang and usher in a good new year.
So what do you need to do?
Be one of the first 12 to post a reply to this post on my IJ or my LJ! Fill out this form with what you'd like--
Fandom(or OC):
Characters and/or Pairings:
Sneezing specifications (which character/characters you want sneezing, illness/allergies, etc.):
Rating/Range of Ratings:
What DO you want to see (be as brief or detailed as you like):
What do you NOT want to see (squicks, pairings, etc.):
Limitations:
It's got to be original character fic or a fandom I'm really familiar with. I can't do really obscure things that require research & extensive source material reviewing because I probably won't have time for that. I can't do elaborate situations either if I'm writing one for every day. So keep your demands short and sweet (but as specific as you want within that scope). Again, please don't expect brilliance from me :-)
If I reply and say I just can't write what you want and I need you to pick something else, you won't lose your "spot". But you should suggest something else within a reasonable period of time.
Fandoms I'll write:
Any fandom I've written for before is technically fair game, but I can tell you right now I'm going to struggle to write another fic in a couple of those fandoms. And I can assure you that if you request something slashy in one of my major fandoms (or Strokes) I will LOVE you for making it easy on me. Also (oh Gods, what am I getting into?) I'm only just starting SPN Season 1 and I've never written a fic in that fandom before, so as long as you know that going into it, go ahead and request it (Meep!). Feel free to ask if I know a particular fandom.
So what do you need to do?

Characters: Rodney and a few others, especially Radek or John.
Ratings: G through PG-13
Want: Rodney is sick, but needs to Save the Station. (Or the galaxy!) Cue miserable dragging around, followed by crashing, kindness and possible cuddles. Gen or light John/Rodney, as you prefer.
Do not want: Explicit smut.
Re: Squee!!
Date: 2011-11-16 04:19 am (UTC)I love that you capitalized "Save the Station" heehee! I think I can handle this request! I cannot resist misery, kindness, and cuddles :-)

Date: 2011-11-16 03:46 am (UTC)Characters and/or Characters: Sirius/Remus, Remus/Severus, Severus/Harry, Severus/OC; Obi/Qui; DG/Cain, Glitch/Cain
Sneezing specifications (which character/characters you want sneezing, illness/allergies, etc.): Harry Potter - In ones with Remus, Remus sneezing, in ones with Severus, Severus sneezing; Qui sneezing; Cain sneezing. I don't care why their sneezing merely that they are.
Rating/Range of Ratings: any
What DO you want to see (be as brief or detailed as you like): some sort of angsty crying while sick
What do you NOT want to see (squicks, pairings, etc.): no blood, please
Re: My boyfriend says I'm consistant
Date: 2011-11-16 04:25 am (UTC)Hmmmm. I don't know if I'm brave enough to do a Tin Man fic; I've only seen the miniseries once. And though I adore Cain, I don't know if I remember him well enough to properly write him. HP or SW, though, yeah, I can do those easily. *EG* So much to think about...
no subject
Date: 2011-11-16 05:40 am (UTC)Fandom: Hornblower
Characters and/or Pairings: Horatio, Archie and/or Bush, any other characters you feel fit the story.
Sneezing specifications: Horatio sneezing.
Rating/Range of Ratings: G to PG
What DO you want to see: Horatio finds out the hard way that gunpowder is a hell of a lot like pepper if it gets up your nose.
What do you NOT want to see: No obvious slash. Also, I'd prefer it if Horatio found this out by accident and didn't discover this as a result of a prank or other mean-spiritedness.

Also, do you mind if I friend you?
no subject
Date: 2011-11-16 06:10 am (UTC)OMG Friend away, my dear! :-)
I shall do my best to pull back on the reins of my slashy muses and give you a good Hornblower fic! I've got some ideas going already. It's always such a pleasure to play with him. heehee
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 09:30 am (UTC)I love playing with Horatio too, especially when he's sick or sneezing. Getting that man to let down his guard, even for just a moment, is pretty satisfying.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-16 06:50 am (UTC)Fandom(or OC): Psych
Characters and/or Pairings: Shawn and Lassie
Sneezing specifications (which character/characters you want sneezing, illness/allergies, etc.): Both, if possible. Either or is fine, too.
Rating/Range of Ratings: Any
What DO you want to see (be as brief or detailed as you like): Light slash, nothing too raunchy, just cute and fluffy, please.
What do you NOT want to see (squicks, pairings, etc.): I don't have any squicks as of now.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:35 am (UTC)Okay. I'm sooo not sure about my writing another Psych fic... but I'll do my best. You did say the magic words "light slash" and "cute and fluffy". I think Lassie would kill me if I EVER used those words to describe anything related to him... but I think I can handle this. Poor boys aren't even going to see me coming. Well, maybe Shawn will, 'cause he's psychic and all, right? ;-)
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 06:31 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-11-16 01:31 pm (UTC)Characters and/or Pairings: Marcus/Oliver (at least I'm predictable, right?)
Rating/Range of Ratings: Any-- wherever the story takes ya
What DO you want to see (be as brief or detailed as you like): roommates, I was thinking one of them gets hurt in a game and the other (who has had a long standing crush on the other) freaks out... maybe outs himself and his crush right there on the pitch by accident or the other becomes suspicious after that. Either way, the hurt play will need some help at home (cue the h/c). I think it could work either way, but it would be interesting to see Oliver be the one to get hurt and how Flint deals with that (as he wouldn't really be the best with handling his emotions).
What do you NOT want to see (squicks, pairings, etc.): Character death
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:40 am (UTC)Okay, okay. I can definitely work with this *G* I've had little bits and pieces of scenes of this pop into my head throughout the day. So, yeah, my muses are pleased.
EDIT- also, no more predictable than I am! "x_posed_again, can you write me a story with Oliver and hurt/comfort?" Isn't that, like, every fic request I've ever made of you? LOL
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 04:45 am (UTC)The only current show I've gotten into lately is Big Bang Theory, which I don't really want to see as a sneezefic honestly, but I would love to see one of my old fandoms in a new fic. Would you be willing to write one for the OC, Charmed, or another Psych fic? I know you said Psych would be hard for you to write again
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 04:51 am (UTC)No soft kitty then? heehee ;-) Another Psych one might be hard for me (I say as I'm WATCHING the show right now... do you think the characters can see this? lol). But I could definitely do a Charmed fic, no problem. And on MONDAY I was craving the OC (okay, one of the lads on 1 Girl 5 Gays mentioned it). So if you have any preferences in either of those, I'd be more than happy to give those a try.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 09:55 pm (UTC)I feel like I would like the same sort of story for both. I might be predictable in that way, because I kind of always want the same thing (I may not know art...)
For The OC, I would want a sneezefic with Ryan. Probably towards the beginning of his stay there. I would love if it was still when everyone was kind of uncomfortable and wouldn't know what to do. He wouldn't want to tell anyone, and when they find out they wouldn't know what to do because Kirsten is still a little scared of him and Sandy is just an awkward person in general.
For Charmed, pretty much the same thing. But Chris :)
Also, since Christmas isn't until next month and after I do my submissions for the challenge, what would you like in return?
And weird third question, have you seen Once Upon a Time? I am doing that show for the challenge.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 05:19 am (UTC)I'm really in the mood to write a Charmed fic, but segments of the OC one are playing in my head right now. We'll see which one wins out in the end!
What would *I* like? Oh, you're so sweet. *sits down and taps head like Pooh Bear* Think, think, think... I'd adore a Cole Charmed sneezefic (either when he's half-demon or in that tiny span of time before he becomes the Source... but NOT evil!Cole. Evil!Cole is cool but not sneezefic-worthy; I like my guys good and noble at heart). I actually wouldn't mind a Coop (wait, is that how it's spelled? You know, Phoebe's Cupid, from the last season of Charmed) sneezefic. Something typically romantic but the sneezes get in the way... which results in something someone with a sneezing fetish would consider ridiculously romantic.
I would also not say no to any sort of Spike sneezefic. Or Xander. Or Nightcrawler. Or Wolverine. And I ALWAYS prefer cold sneezes over any other kind.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 05:23 am (UTC)And no, not the little kid. Ew. I'm a student teacher in eighth grade, and he is even younger than my students. And they're like infants to me. Actually, I'm going female for this one. Emma, actually
no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 05:29 am (UTC)And ooooo, Cole. I am SO looking forward to that. I love Cole. And as much as I love Coop, I still ship Phoebe/Cole as my OTP... with Phoebe, at least. A demon wanting to do good because he's fallen in love with a witch/Charmed One? Totally my type. Not enough sneezefics with Cole! Wait... are there ANY sneezefics with him? Squee. Thank you!
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 06:50 am (UTC)Fandom: "Horatio Hornblower" (bookverse or movieverse)
Characters and/or Pairings: Horatio! And Archie and/or Bush. Either gen, or Horatio/Archie or Horatio/Bush. And mentions of canonical het pairings are fine, as long as they're not the focus of the fic. (Yeah, I know, but I had to say it.)
Sneezing specifications (which character/characters you want sneezing, illness/allergies, etc.): any of the three characters listed above, and preferably from an illness rather than an allergy. I will especially love you even more than I already do (since I already love you forever) if you write a sneezy Horatio, especially from a cold or chill.
Rating/Range of Ratings: Any
What DO you want to see (be as brief or detailed as you like): Something on ship, if possible. Mild fever, if the sneezing's from illness. Oh, and Soaked!Horatio is always appreciated, though certainly not necessary.
What do you NOT want to see (squicks, pairings, etc.): No Horatio/Pellew! Sorry. The relationship I see between them is just too close to father/son for me to be comfortable with slashing them. (Though I'd be perfectly happy to see Pellew appear in a more peripheral role.) And, I' don't really like sad sneezefics, no matter how wubbly grieving characters can be. Other than that, I bow before the mistress. :-)
no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 05:21 am (UTC)Lucky number 7? No, I haven't hit the 12 mark yet.
Everything you suggest is completely do-able and nummy-sounding. Now I just need to decide what exactly to write *G*
no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 03:18 pm (UTC)For what it's worth, I did start work on one of my (theoretical) challenge submissions...at which it point it reared its ugly head and decided to turn itself into a multi-part
masterpiecedisaster. Which makes me wonder...is it okay to post something little more than a scene or two out of a larger work for the challenge, as long as it can (hopefully) stand alone and (sort of) meets the challenge criteria (that is, mentions them rather than focuses on them...the sneezy bits aside, of course!)?no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 03:22 pm (UTC)Mmm. Love your icon. *G*
no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 04:11 pm (UTC)And, thanks for the icon compliment, too, but I can't take the credit: I got it over here (http://watsons-woes.livejournal.com/604290.html), from the lovely folks at
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 07:35 am (UTC)Fandom: LOTR or Torchwood. I can't choose between them right now, so you can pick whichever strikes your fancy.
Characters and/or Pairings: Legolas/Gimli or Ianto/Jack. Legolas or Ianto sick please, big shocker there, LOL!
Rating: Any. I'm more after the warm fuzzies than scorching smut, but if a little naughty creeps in, I'm not opposed. *G*
Want to see: Sick day. Feeling guilty for being too ill to take care of normal responsiblities. Partner being caring and reassuring. Blankets, fever, and cuddling are a plus! If it's Ianto, I'd love it if Jack's coat was a source of comfort. For Legolas, I wouldn't mind seeing him with a pet kitty again.
Don't Want: V-ing. Any references to the events of 'Children of Earth' or later.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 05:24 am (UTC)Woot! Don't worry. I will not be referencing any CoE or later Torchwood. But choosing between LotR and Torchwood? HOW? Ianto in Jack's coat! SQUEE! But Legolas and a kitty? SQUEE again! Oh dear. Decisions, decisions, decisions...
no subject
Date: 2011-11-20 04:23 am (UTC)Characters and/or Pairings: whatever you come up with
Sneezing specifications (which character/characters you want sneezing, illness/allergies, etc.): doesn't matter
Rating/Range of Ratings:anything's fine
What DO you want to see (be as brief or detailed as you like): Some lovely smexy guylove.
What do you NOT want to see (squicks, pairings, etc.): No spitting. I hate it when they do that. And it's always like they know the camera's on them too when they do it.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-23 06:08 am (UTC)Oohhh a hockeyfic! So... original characters rather than RPS? I'm not so good at RPS. Would you rather brand new original characters or Strokes-related hockey characters?

I'm sure I'm too late...but if I'm not here goes:
Torchwood or LotR pretty please. Legolas/Gimli or Jack/Anyone
[SPN is my current fav, and I would love a fic of yours written in that fandom, but don't feel pressured...I'm sure the fics will come when you're ready...but if you want to write one, anything Dean-centric would be glorious!]
Sneezing specifications: Anything will float my boat so long as Jack or the Elf are doing the sneezing
Rating/Range of Ratings: R or higher please
What do you want to see: Stuffy talk, build ups...my usual kinks **blushes**
What do you NOT want to see: v-ing
You really are a wonderful person to keep doing this tg; I can't thank you enough!
no subject
Date: 2011-11-23 06:11 am (UTC)Oh, you sooooooo did not miss the cut!
but don't feel pressured...I'm sure the fics will come when you're ready.
You are so sweet! :-) It IS probably better to let them come naturally as my muses see fit.
Hmmm. Kinky sneezefic. Can do! Are you sure you and Lady K aren't the same person? One of you is getting LotR and the other is getting Torchwood. I don't know which will be which yet, but I have a feeling you'll both end up digging each other's fics as well as your own :-)

Date: 2011-11-26 12:15 am (UTC)Hi...so I was scared that it would be selfish of me to request a fic because I kind of lurk here, but now I'm doing it anyway :) and hoping you don't mind.
So I would love an NCIS fic with Tony/Gibbs were Tony is sick and at work and Gibbs is a little worried and sneakily takes care of him.
Also I don't have many squicks I can't think of any that could come up in this fic. I would love to see forehead feeling and Gibbs having tissues for Tony but actually anything you write will make me happy.
It's always so nice of you to do these giftfics and I'm really excited
no subject
Date: 2011-11-26 12:29 am (UTC)Awesome sauce. I can definitely work with this. I just finished my Tony/Gibbs Hurt/Comfort Big Bang and after taking a break to work on some of the gift fics, I'm kind of going through withdrawal. Great excuse to dive back in. And Gibbs can TOTALLY be sneaky. Yeah, I can definitely work with this.
Do you have a rating preference? Just fluffy h/c between the boys or do you want it to build up to something more?
no subject
Date: 2011-11-28 02:41 pm (UTC)Fandom(or OC): Harry Potter
Characters and/or Pairings: Severus Snape
Sneezing specifications: As long as Snape's sneezing I'll be happy =)
Rating:G-PG 13
What DO you want to see: What ever your heart desires to write. I am fine with slash.
What do you NOT want to see: The only thing I ask is that whatever pairing it is, I would rather Adult Snape not be paired with someone underage.
I know this is fairly open and vague, but I am really open to anything and I want you to be able to have fun with it!
If you decide to write this, thank You! If not, thank you anyways and happy writing!
- L
no subject
Date: 2011-11-29 12:16 am (UTC)I don't like writing adult/child fic, so I don't think that'll be a problem. Most likely, you'll get a Snupin... but anything's possible at this point. I shall do my best with your potion's master!
no subject
Date: 2011-11-28 09:05 pm (UTC)Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Sneezing specifications (which character/characters you want sneezing, illness/allergies, etc.): Ianto.
Rating: Any is a-ok.
Wants: I love the idea of Ianto coming down sick and Jack actually being the one to notice first (even ahead of Ianto). It sort of plays against the whole "Ianto is in utter control of everything" and "Jack is a careless and selfish lover" themes. Bonus points for Jack caring for Ianto without being too obvious (i.e. giving everyone the afternoon off) and waiting to Ianto to admit his illness before doing any obvious fussing. Lots of caretaking can then ensue.
Do not want: To be set anytime after series 2; Too much domesticity (i.e. I just don't see these two married with kids ever); References to v-ing or water sports--this is just too yucky for me.
Again, I really feel unworthy even asking for this, and it may be too vague of a request, so if it doesn't work out, do not feel badly.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-29 12:22 am (UTC)Technically, L got to me first... but L's request was screened, so you didn't know that. Sorry!
The first year I did 12 fics in 12 days, I managed to write a few bonus fics. If I've got time, I'll try to make this Bonus Fic #1 (given the fact that I'm SO far ahead this year, the only thing that might slow me down is the annual sneezefic challenge round 2 in December). I adore the idea (Jack can totally be careless and selfish, but he shows a lot of care and compassion as well!) and I would very much like to write it for you!
