Ha! Finished editing the thing, going to bed now. Fic post Monday afternoon, probably. :-)

[Fic] "The Law of Conservation of Mangrit" -- Homestuck

Summary: It starts out ironically, of course, but by the time Dave's wearing a corset and a swanky evening dress and Terezi's in a three-piece suit, Jade wants nothing more than to get them both into bed as soon as possible. Jade/Dave/Terezi, explicit sex. (15,300 words)

Note: This is the fic that for a very long time was known only as "untitled Jade/Dave/Terezi crossdressing porn." And by a very long time, I mean I started writing it back in August 2012. (Yes, really.) That means it's based on canon that has since been drastically altered.

I think the best way to handle that issue is to say that "The Law of Conservation of Mangrit" is a retroactive AU based on the Game Over timeline, with the assumption that the actual Game Over events didn't spin so irretrievably out of control and the players were therefore able to win without Terezi using John to retcon anything. So Davesprite and John lived through all three years of the Yellow Yard and the meteor road trip was miserable for everyone involved. As for why Terezi is blind again, I assume she burned her sight out heroically saving somebody from something -- because of narrative echoes and significant choices and stuff -- and this time even if anyone offered to heal her, she said no.

Thank you to madamehardy and missvgc for beta reading!

The Law of Conservation of Mangrit

(I'm only posting the story on AO3 because A) it's more convenient than managing several crossposts and B) I don't need to use my journal as a makeshift beta test since I already got this properly beta'ed.)

wherein Liz writes prompt!fic for her sister (can you still call it that if it's original kid-lit?)

This year, because personalized gifts are nice, I gave my sister a story for her birthday. Except there's a catch: I haven't written it yet.

This is because she gets to tell me what to write. :-)

Today Vicky finally got back to me with her parameters, and now I have six months to turn them into coherent fiction with a 2000-word minimum length. Her idea and characters are pretty fun, and strike a good balance between giving me a framework and giving me freedom to be creative. I asked her some clarifying questions about a few points, and I think we're on the same page with regard to tone and general structure.

(I think, with luck, the end result might even be commercially viable? But eh, that's very much a secondary concern.)

We shall see what happens!

In other prompt!fic news, rosaxx50, I am working on your ficlet, I swear. I've just had a hard time knocking my brain into the right narrative voice.

aishuu, I don't think I can do Peter at university, but the other ideas look promising. I'll see if any of them click with a 15_minute_ficlets word.

And of course I am working on my Betapalooza assignment. Thus far, I have a rough outline and have assigned roles to all four beta kids plus some other Homestuck characters, but I'm still sorting out some details and haven't started writing the actual story yet.

So you know, I am plinking away at stuff. :-)
