what in the who now?

+ In department of 'omg this had better be a totally unfounded rumour': Fox to commission a RTD-penned US remake of Torchwood? WHAT. And I am just not thinking about how I would feel if it did turn out that RTD did indeed blow up his old show then go and make a brand new shiny one. May this never come to pass!

+ In happier news, queerlit50 is starting up, similar to 50books_poc. Read some queer authors! Tell me about them! :D My reading list for the next few weeks includes Sarah Waters' Fingersmith, Mary Renault's The Persian Boy, and Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint, so I will probably chat about those over there.

+ Also, oxoniensis's ninth porn battle is taking prompts.

+ eta: Also! The help_haiti auction closes in just over 24 hours. There's a lot of things still available over there very reasonably, and everything's all listed and indexed so it's easy to find something you might like.

fic: in a quiet water'd land (merlin, ot4)

camelotsolstice reveals are up! \o/ This is the story that I wrote after many delays and a lot of flailing, but I am pleased with the result.

in a quiet water'd land
Merlin ; OT4 ; PG-13 ; 4800 words ; spoilers through 2x08, then wanders off-canon ; also archived at the AO3
In which our heroes are waylaid by the elements and find themselves forced into an unexpected camping holiday.

Much gratitude to miakun and glass_icarus for betaing and handholding. Title from T. W. Rolleston. Written for heathershaped and originally posted here.

today's last post, promise!

Via lots of people on my flist, a meme.

eta: all gone!

The first ten people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble (loose definition of term) for any pairing/OT3/OT4/character of their choosing.

1. gorgeousnerd: Merlin, Morgana/Morgause, a stormy morning
2. cherrybina: Merlin, Merlin/Arthur, a happy secret
3. makai: Torchwood, Jack/Ianto, some fetishes weren't kept to himself
4. the_moonmoth: Star Trek, Kirk/Spock, a day in the life
5. virginia_bell: Harry Potter, Remus/Sirius, revision
6. nny: Star Trek, something Scotty related
7. miarrow: Merlin, Gwen/Morgana, a steady hold
8. liseuse: SGA, John/Rodney, 'I swear this city wants your lovechild'
9. rosemaryandrue: Merlin, Gwen/Morgana, buttercups
10. woldy: Merlin, OT4, sleepiness & firelight

fandoms: Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Merlin, Stargate: Atlantis, Star Trek Reboot, Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and I could also have a crack at LotS or Being Human, though I'm a little behind on both. Crossovers welcome. Throw me a character/ship and a prompt and I will see what I can do! Also, really, I'm going to make myself keep them under 500 words. I know what I'm like.

(Basically, I have looots of academic work to do this evening, and it would be lovely to take breaks where I continue to write words, thereby hopefully keeping the mojo going. It's this or continuing to spam your flist!)
