Master List of Elizabeth Culmer's Fiction
---------------------------------------------

FANFICTION:

General Disclaimer: These stories are based on characters and situations created and owned by other people and corporations. I make no money from this borrowing of intellectual property, and intend no copyright or trademark infringement.

Organization: This list is organized primarily by fandom; within each fandom, it's arranged first by associated story cycles and then by writing date. Word counts and writing dates are approximations.

Content/Warning Policy: 1) I am not consistent about warnings! I use them when I remember, for a few relatively broad categories of potentially problematic content, but if something is off-page, non-explicit, or generally backgrounded, I probably won't think to note it in the metadata. Read at your own risk! 2) The things I try to warn for are explicit sex, rape, murder, torture, cannibalism, incest, depression/suicide, familial dysfunction, and occasionally also societal dysfunction (aka dystopia). Sometimes I just slap a general content warning on all my fic for a given fandom and don't label each individual fic. I also don't generally warn for violence, unless the violence in a fic is dramatically out-of-step with the violence in its source canon. 3) I don't use any content rating system unless I'm posting to a site or community that requires or encourages ratings, because I find movie-style ratings counter-intuitive when applied to written fiction, and not particularly useful for anything other than denoting the presence of explicit sex, which I already note in the metadata.

Quality Rating System: I've marked my favorite stories with asterisks, on a scale of 1 to 4. The more asterisks, the more I like the story. This doesn't necessarily mean that stories without asterisks are bad, just that I don't like them as much. Also, I am not claiming to be an arbiter of taste; you may love stories I dislike, and vice versa. I am just providing a heads-up about the ones that I think are best written and/or most interesting.

Where To Read: What I post on my journal tends to be the equivalent of a beta draft. If I have cross-posted a story literally anywhere else (except Tumblr; fic content there is just a mirror of fic content here), read the version that isn't on my journal. Versions on AO3 are definitive. If there is no AO3 version, read the ff.net version. If there is no ff.net version, read the FictionAlley version (only applicable for HP fic). Failing that, read the journal version, because that's the only one there is.

Three-Sentence Ficathon 2022, courtesy of the amazing rthstewart!

I am at work and trying to actually Do Tasks, so I will not be participating just yet... but the moment I get home, I intend to dive in. :DDDDDDDD

Commenters with horrible opinions who like my stories are so much more emotionally draining than commenters with horrible opinions who HATE!!! my stories. Ugh.

...

Anyway, in other news today was a slow day at work, which was not helped by me buying a BLT for lunch and consequently taking a Benadryl so I could eat it without the tomatoes making my throat swell shut. Normally I only have BLTs for dinner or on my days off, so I can go to bed shortly after the meal and succumb to the Benadryl sleep-hammer, but most restaurants on and around the Commons are currently closed or require one to order ahead, and I was neither organized nor particularly interested in eating pizza, so a BLT it was. And then I spent my afternoon trying not to fall asleep.

But I gave an apartment tour and I think the prospect will apply over the weekend, so that's good. I also did some key return processing, and got back to my old project of creating proper floor plans for various apartments.

Tonight I made steak for dinner, which is always tasty, and I think I will fall into bed soonish so as to hopefully get up at a reasonable hour tomorrow and be moderately productive.

In no particular order:

1. We're changing up the schedule at the rental company a little as of next week, because their current temp is leaving after Friday, Ms. Busywork's medical leave has been extended indefinitely, and having Mr. Geniality back and forth between the main office and the satellite office isn't working well.

So I will still be in Collegetown on Mondays, and will be at the satellite office 10am-6pm on Saturdays, but Wednesday through Friday I will be at the main office from 9am-11am so I can A) coordinate better with Mr. Geniality, Ms. Rise-and-Shine, and Ms. Random Numbers, and B) do some of the scanning and filing. Then I will go to the satellite office until 6pm.

This is going to be a little logistically annoying, but being able to talk to the main office staff face to face should be helpful.

2. My congregation has been having some personnel issues lately (details redacted because privacy and confidentiality are still things), and the Board repurposed tonight's planned balcony meeting to discuss that and some related issues, instead of our planned discussion about our vision of ministry and strategic planning. Sometimes events happen and you have to deal with them, you know? I wrote up some quick and dirty minutes and emailed them to everyone for reference, which is kind of my job now as clerk.

Agreeing to be clerk was probably a bad idea, but somebody had to do it and if I can't write and organize stuff by this point in my life, something has gone Very Wrong with the universe. (I mean, more than 2020 has gone wrong in general. *wry*)

3. I think I may have killed another tiny clementine tree, goddammit. And I've been doing so well with the one I bought in January! (That one is still fine, don't worry.) The difference is that the new one had more root and less soil in its pot, so it dried out faster than I expected and I didn't water it soon enough. *sigh* I mean, it still has... four leaves? It might recover. But I suspect not. :(

4. After several weeks (...or longer...) of letting comments stack up in my inbox, I am finally trying to reply to them. I got through maybe fifteen today, which is not bad at all.

Now I am going to drink some cider and try to clear my mind with creative writing.

snowflake_challenge Day 3: Pimp your favorite communities, fests or challenges!

I feel like everybody knows about Yuletide and the concept of remix challenges, yeah? So I will talk about some smaller ones!

First, there is the Narnia Fic Exchange, aka narniaexchange, run by the inimitable snacky and aurilly. This is a small single-fandom exchange run annually in the late summer/early fall, which does exactly what it says on the tin. The quality of fanworks is quite high and people are generous with feedback. I have been participating since 2011 and it is one of the highlights of my fannish year. :D

I also enjoy wipbigbang, though I don't participate every year. I feel like their profile blurb explains their purpose better than I could, so I will just quote it here:

Got a rough draft of that fanfic you started writing but then real life made you abandon it? Is it just sitting around in a folder, gathering dust and making you feel guilty every time you glance at the file or think about that pairing? Do you want an opportunity to sit down and finish it like your greatest enemy in Mortal Kombat?

You've come to the right place!

Greetings. We are the WIP Big Bang and our goal is to take the stories we've already started and to finish them by [date subject to change]. We are an all-fandoms-welcome exchange and will have artist claims and everything. It's like a real Big Bang, with a twist. You only need at least 500 words of a story you've already written prior to signing up and the goal isn't a word count* but to finish the thing.

So, are you ready to defeat that WIP?

(*to make it worthwhile for our artists, we do request that stories do end up being over 7500 words!)

And third is the Three Sentence Ficathon! This is a concept more than a fixed challenge; I have participated in iterations hosted by caramelsilver over on LJ, and by rthstewart here on Dreamwidth, at varying times of the year. The basic idea is like any prompt meme -- people leave prompts (signed or anonymous) and other people fill them -- but the fills can only be three sentences long. It's extremely multi-fandom and open to original fic as well. And if you run over the three-sentence limit? Oh well, stories do that sometimes. ;)

This is a very friendly and low-pressure event. It's also a great way to dabble in fandoms you enjoy but aren't necessarily comfortable enough with to write a full-length story.

I believe rthstewart plans to host another Three Sentence Ficathon iteration starting February 1st, so keep an eye out and come have fun!
