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.

I had a dentist appointment this morning to fix an old filling that had gone bad. We were also initially scheduled to do a second filling at the same time, but the dentist decided that since one of the affected teeth was in the upper right quadrant and the other was in the lower left quadrant, doing both fillings would potentially leave me with no good chewing surfaces if either tooth was sensitive after the Novocain wore off.

So now I have a THIRD appointment scheduled for January 28. *sigh*

On the bright side, the filling replacement seems to have gone well and I am not, in fact, having any pain. I also got the dentist to shave down the little scraggly bit on the filling she replaced a couple weeks ago, so it is no longer snagging food, my floss, or my tongue. \o/

Other things done today:

1. Completed a renewal lease and made good progress on creating a key plan for the 1st floor of one of our largest buildings.

2. Uploaded a batch of my 2023 Three Sentence Ficathon fills to AO3.

3. Refilled my blood pressure meds.

4. Bought groceries (and upon getting home immediately realized several items I forgot, so I made a new list)

5. Prepped for laundry tomorrow.

6. Wrote one (1) Three Sentence Ficathon fill.

And now I shall go to bed. :)

Some stuff:

1. Flew out to Minnesota for Christmas and some ancillary visiting -- I left Monday afternoon (12/23) and returned home on Saturday (12/28). The flights out went smoothly, but both legs of my trip home were significantly delayed, which was annoying. Anyway, it was good to see Mom, Dad, Vicky, and Aunt C again.

2. Mom seems to have finally internalized that I am serious about moving to Minnesota this June and is now lightly panicking about logistics and my impending job search, which is... well. I am glad she cares! I am glad she wants to help! But it's also very tiring.

3. I thought I had finished all my Not the IRS paid training by the end of the year, but apparently they lied to me when they said all the training would be in X section of the company intranet. Actually half the training was still on Y section of the intranet (where all of it used to be) so I had to go take care of that portion yesterday. But now, finally, I seem to have ticked off all my mandatory boxes.

4. We rented an apartment to a guy with a start date of January 2 and I wanted to stage/photo/video it before he moved in. However, despite the apartment having sat vacant since FREAKING JUNE, our Maintenance department didn't finish turnover until Thursday morning and then the tenant showed up three hours early, so there went my plans. *sigh* However, I did manage to stage/photo/video a different apartment this morning, which is good because in theory we have someone ready to sign, pay, and move in this afternoon.

5. I am attempting a habit pledge for Get Your Words Out this year, after not writing much at all for a few years. I would like to get back into writing and I think a habit pledge is more useful for that than a word count pledge. :)

And now I think I will go grab some lunch before returning to work.

We left the island on Sunday afternoon, so as to briefly overlap with Aunt Cara's visit to the Twin Cities. (She is now retired and is planning to move back to Minnesota from Chicago, and wanted Mom and Nick to help her out with her first baby steps in that process.) We had a nice family dinner, and now Aunt Cara has left to drive home, Dad and Nick are out buying a power cord for Nick's weed-whacker and some fence repair supplies, and Mom is at Urgent Care to get her injured foot checked out after we collectively convinced her to stop ignoring it and proclaiming it was totally getting better, really it was. *headdesk*

Meanwhile I am taking advantage of a free kitchen table and outlet and getting a little writing done. I have added a bit over 275 words to chapter 18 of The Guardian in Spite of Herself -- admittedly, most of them are a description of Tengai, but I'd been stuck in the scene in question for a while and last night I finally realized that what I needed at that point IS, in fact, a detailed description of Tengai, because the town layout becomes relevant later on and this meeting between Eiji and Kisame is exactly where that becomes less of an infodump and more of a "I am showing you around my town so you can work out a defense plan as per our potential contract" thing.

I think I'm gonna see if I can finish the scene and get started on scene 4 (Naga-tachi reacting to a message from Konoha). :)

Things that happened to me today:

1. Drove over a big chunk of ice that tore loose part of the plastic shield under my car engine. The plastic segment is now hanging down and scraping against the road when I drive, which makes a horrible racket and cannot possibly be good for my poor car. I have made an appointment with Goodyear to get it looked at tomorrow, and will get Mr. Geniality to drive me from Goodyear to work.

2. My kitchen sink clogged up again, the same way it did at the end of October. I dumped as much of the standing water as I could into my bathroom sink (which is draining fine), and have texted Landlord Dude to come unclog it tomorrow.

3. Found a dead mouse in the cabinets under the kitchen sink. *sigh* It had been there at least a day, long enough for Expandgross details about dead animals ) Anyway, I flicked it out into the snowy waste of the back yard (I didn't want to shovel my back steps just to dispose of a mouse), scrubbed down the shelf, and bleached the daylights out of the snap trap.

I will need to set a new trap after Landlord Dude fixes my drains.

...

In other news, the Three Sentence Ficathon fill that got away from me is now 2,075 words and counting. What even is my life. *headdesk*
edenfalling: stylized black-and-white line art of a sunset over water (Default)
I was like, "I will write a tiny Magnus Archives fill for this prompt, in which an OC gets eaten by an evil teacup that is a joint manifestation of the Vast and the Spiral!"

Eight hundred words later, this turned into a story about work and dreams and toxic relationships and I am only just getting around to where someone finally gets eaten by the evil teacup, which is actually an evil hand-thrown mug and which I think has decided it likes its new owner and is going to eat her horrible girlfriend instead.

*hands*

Brains, man. How do they even work.

...

...

Also I did laundry, ordered some file cabinet drawer inserts, and baked a batch of Laddie's hotdish for dinner, because I could. Now I think I shall procrastinate again by putting new sheets on my bed. *wry*

Some of these are deliberately not time-sensitive and I keep around to poke at on random occasions. Others are very far on the backburner because of how my life has gone over the past decade or so. And some others I would very much LIKE to be working on regularly, but, you know, *gestures at the general state of the world* Also I am very busy at work and all my efforts to establish a regular writing schedule keep falling apart for various reasons.

*sigh*

Maybe I could ease myself back in gently by editing an older story instead of writing entirely new words? I never did get my Magnus Archives/Doctor Who story edited to the point where I'm willing to post it to AO3, which is a crying shame...

*ponders options*

Ah well. Whatever I end up doing, right now I should go fall into bed. I have a 4-hour drive either tomorrow evening or Saturday morning.

Day three of vacation: very satisfactory. :)

I got up at 9:30am instead of 11:30am, made myself a nice breakfast (scrambled eggs, English muffins, a clementine, tea), and then spent the day mostly reading (in the cabin and down on the dock), working desultorily on a puzzle, and doing some dinner prep and cleanup.

I also took a two-hour afternoon nap, which was lovely. I intend to pay down a significant portion of my chronic sleep debt by the time I leave the island.

Tomorrow should be cooler, and Mom and I plan to go on a hike -- possibly all the way around Windigo, possibly in the morning. Other than that, my schedule is wide open.

Hmm.

In reading news, yesterday I finished Harrow the Ninth, which is indeed a head trip. But in a good way! My one quibble is that the narrative voice which is eventually revealed to be Expandspoilers ) doesn't have quite the right word choices before the reveal, though there are some hints. Anyway, I am now desperately curious for the third book.

I have started A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine (who I was interested to learn is married to Vivian Shaw (who I somewhat "internet knew" from Homestuck fandom) -- I am always a bit surprised to be within six degrees of contact, however loose, to people whose books I read), and while I haven't gotten far enough to have much of an opinion, I can definitely say I'm not bored. :)

In nonfiction realms, I am working through Medieval Maritime Warfare by Charles D. Stanton, Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error by Kathryn Schulz, In the Interim: Strategies for Interim Ministers and Congregations (2nd edition), and An Imperial Possession: Britain in the Roman Empire by David Mattingly. I tend to have several books on the go at any time, and switch between them based on my mood for any given day or hour.

In writing news, I opened the file for "Guardian" chapter 18 and skimmed through the parts I'd previously written, but did not get any farther than that.

I am also slowly continuing to crosspost my Three Sentence Ficathon fills to AO3, which feels nice and productive. *wry*

And now I think I may go to bed, so as to continue paying down my sleep debt and be in good shape for a hike tomorrow. :)

Things I wanted to get done today at work: MANY

Things I actually got done: MANY, but, and this is important, NOT NECESSARILY THE ONES I MEANT TO DO

Events have a way of disrupting plans, you know?

Ah well, I created the move-in and inspection form tracking sheets that Ms. Random Numbers and Ms. Busywork wanted, wrote and sent three leases (and wrote-but-didn't-send a fourth, because that's waiting on some additional information), answered various inquiries, showed two groups around some apartments, signed out some keys, entered some work orders, and prodded someone into signing a lease they'd been dithering over. (Turns out, saying (truthfully!) that you have another applicant and are going to send them a lease in an hour unless Person A actually signs the lease they've been sitting on for two days often produces results -- either, "Oh whoops, sorry, here's the lease and payment!" or "Actually I found another place." I don't particularly care which; I just want the apartment out of limbo, you know?)

I also generated a bunch of work for our new temp to deal with on Monday, so she's not sitting around with nothing to do and going home early. Annnnnnd I kind of left a bunch of stuff on Mr. Geniality's chair for him to deal with on Monday, but he and I each "own" some key spreadsheets and for the sake of clarity we don't mess with each other's workflow in those areas. (Other spreadsheets are joint and we both muck around in them, but in some cases it saves a lot of trouble if someone is designated The One Who Maintains Spreadsheet X, so nothing gets missed or double-entered or whatever.) Also I don't do downtown landlord reference checks from the Collegetown office, because that's just asking for confusion, so that's all on him for a couple days. (I did my part and sent an email, but the landlord has not responded so the next step is a phone call.)

-----

In non-work news, I am gradually crossposting all my Three Sentence Ficathon fills to AO3. The slow pace is partly because I'm trying not to flood anybody's inbox, but also because I don't usually feel up to posting more than a couple-three per day.

And now I am heading to bed, because it was beastly hot today, I'm tired, and my feet hurt.
edenfalling: stylized black-and-white line art of a sunset over water (Default)
There is something really lovely about being able to catch up on sleep without worrying that sleeping my fill means I won't have time to do all my day-off-work chores, you know?

Anyway, I've been slowly organizing my Three Sentence Ficathon fills and tacking summaries onto the ones that need them, in preparation for cross-posting them to AO3. I also finally got around to cross-posting some older mini-ficlet prompt meme fills, and should get the final one of those up this evening.

It feels nice to get back on top of some organization stuff I've been letting slide. :)
