phantomjam: (Merlin/Arthur - red)
*jumps merrily on the bandwagon* Write 10 different categories of fic, each in 10 words or less.

1. Angst:
Merlin falls asleep; he doesn’t wake and he never will.

2. AU:
‘Five assassins have already failed.’
Morgana smiled calmly. ‘I won’t.’

3. Crack!fic:
Merlin looked nervous. ‘Arthur, I’m pregnant, and Morgana’s the father.’

4. Crossover:
‘THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAA!’
‘Actually,’ Merlin interrupted tentatively, ‘this is Camelot.’

5. First Time:
Afternoon sun dappled the sheets; unhurried, they took their time.

6. Fluff:
Merlin woke snug in Arthur’s arms. ‘Morning,’ he smiled sleepily.

7. Humour:
‘Merlin, tell me you didn’t turn Gaius into a chicken.’

8. Hurt/Comfort:
His magic soothed the pain; his lips erased her fears.

9. Smut:
Her scent clings to his gloves afterwards, musky and intimate.

10. UST:
He almost kissed Merlin once. He didn’t; he wanted to.


In other news I'm (slowly) working on fic for the pay it forward meme and I should hopefully have something to post for tomorrow. Also I decided to treat myself to a paid account for my birthday. This may or may not have been motivated largely by my desire for moar pretty icons ;p

*bludgeons you with her handy 'HORDE!FIC' placard*

I'm sorry, I hope I didn't hurt you there. :D

I will get you a piece of that crossover if it kills me. Which it won't. It's just an expression.

...right?

The scarf will probably, um, be very similar to smokey2307's. *blush* I only have one pattern, see. :D And one ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS ball of wool, so, um, yes, it will probably be the same colour as well. I'm sorry. BUT if you would prefer it in cream, I can do that, too. :D But it will be the same pattern. I FAIL AT KNITTING, OK. And it may take a while. *fails a little harder* But it will come to you!

...and as soon as it does, this cold weather will disappear like woah. I'm just lucky like that. *glum* :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Aaah but then that would make it a magical scarf that brings good weather! Doubly valuable, yes? I couldn't knit a scarf to SAVE MY LIFE, so one pattern is still the height of skill and awesomeness to me ;p

Not hurt, just mildly bruised. I think the point got through that time and has been duly noted, so no more hitting. *holds up hands to shield self* I'll move horde!fic a little higher up the (GINORMOUS, LIFE-SWALLOWING) queue ;)

This is indeed true. *nods wisely* I just hope I don't REALLY REALLY bugger it up. My mysterious leet skill with my knitting needles (HAHAHAHAHAHA!) would be a little less leet and mysterious then. :D

*laughs* Oh, I wouldn't. It's just GREEEEED which makes me want to see it. I understand ALL about huge swamping lists of fic to do, and it's got so bad recently, I haven't known what to write, and so haven't written anything. ^_^ I can wait for horde!fic. I just don't WANT to. *grins and shoves her fic-greed back into the dark, dirty little corner of her mind where all the smut lurks*

DUDE! The amazon voucher - you totally didn't have to! But OMG THANK YOU! I can never tear myself away from that infernal site. I love it and hate it in equal amounts, because it makes me poor but brings me such sparkly joy.

That decides it. THERE WILL BE HORDE!FIC. SOON. *decisive nod*

*grin* Well, you know what they say - if we bring a little sparkly joy into the lives of others, we do not live in vain. :DDDD

I think, though, if horde!fic materialises because of it, I've paid for fanfiction, which is ILLEGAL, and it was supposed to be no-strings sex birthday present. ^_^

Not that I'm saying no, you understand. *grin*

Enjoy amazon! And your late birthday. And your HP crossover - when it finally materialises. :D

You make it sound so cheap. Think of it more as mutual back-scratching. Your act of unprompted generosity moved me to a similar emotion; it's all in the joy of giving ;p
