See y'all back on 28th January 2006, with your completed stories!

Comments

[blakefancier.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! I'm writing mpreg!! Okay, so it's not proper mpreg, but still, fun.

[kerravonsen]

I suspect that was voted for because of large contingents of lovers of Avon-angst.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Well, that and clearly many of the people voting on this thing are just twisted. :)

[kerravonsen]

Thanks to everyone who voted for me to write the "Parting of the Ways" AU, because I really want to get this done before "The Christmas Invasion" changes my perspective; probably not possible, timewise, but still...

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

You could always write it twice, once before and once after your change of perspective.

[kerravonsen]

No, I don't think so...

[izhilzha.livejournal.com]

Can't say I'm surprised that the Firefly (Shepherd Book) story won out in my polls...can't say I'm sorry, either. :-)

Though many thanks to all who voted in the other catagories as well. I'm still amused that the CSI/HP story was such a close runner-up! Maybe I should move that one up in my person queue to-finish.

[kerravonsen]

The CSI/HP does sound interesting -- problem for me is that I haven't seen CSI, and am not likely to, so it would be less accessible to me, unless it was written as if they were "guest characters", so to speak.

[izhilzha.livejournal.com]

I do see your point. Unfortunately, the fun of this story will be in watching the wizarding world through a slightly different perspective. As I said, it's more avatar fic than a straight xover, since Grissom's team must be witches/wizards.

But since they're investigating a canon battle, you might like it anyway.

[kerravonsen]

Unfortunately, the fun of this story will be in watching the wizarding world through a slightly different perspective.

Oh indeed, of course! That's one reason why I like crossovers.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

I was interested in both the CSI/HP and the CSI/Lost stories, but we could only vote for one. :(

Write zem all!

[izhilzha.livejournal.com]

Aww. Well, I may yet write the LOST/CSI...it still tugs at me, and that's a good sign.

Maybe you'd like to help me finish transposing our CSI team's backgrounds into the wizarding world? :-D That would help ensure that I actually write that one....

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not sure I understand what's involved, but if you want to bounce ideas off somebody, or even just have a cheering section, sure.

[izhilzha.livejournal.com]

*snerk* Well, since having the CSI team actually be in the magical world they'd need to be witches/wizards, the way I've been approaching it is like an avatar fic (sort of). So I've been trying to figure out what the characters' backgrounds (schooling, family, etc) are like in those circumstances--with the goal of knowing that they basically come out the same people we know from the show, just wizards rather than Muggles and not working in Vegas. [it's very tempting to make Catherine be Lucius Malfoy's illegitimate half sister, but I'm resisting.]

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

I was completely flummoxed when I realized that "Jenna Stannis, Private Investigator" was going to win. I figured it was too silly for anyone to vote for. :) I'm perfectly willing to write it, I'm just surprised.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yay, I look forward to your take on it. :-D

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Hee. Thanks, though I might not have offered it if I'd known you were about to do one. ;-) Which I haven't had the energy to read yet, but I'm sure is good. Anyway, I'm sure they'll be nothing alike.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Exactly. No one would approach it the same way, I'm sure. I felt guilty about doing it because I knew you wanted to do one, but it was one of the three which attracted me at the time and this was my chance to do the other two in a shorter format.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sorry you felt guilty, but perversely glad that you cared how I'd feel. ;-) Anyway, it wasn't a problem. Writing as slowly as I do, I'm quite used to re-using ideas that other people have gotten to first. That just forces me to be more creative.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling 'silly' is not a drawback to the person who doesn't have to write it :)

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Well, it's certainly not a drawback to the person who does have to write it. I come from a long line of very silly folk. Well, if you consider my dad a long line... hee. Mind you, though, silly and funny are not always the same thing; I'm only concerned that those who voted for it might be expecting it to be funny. Silly is easy, funny is hard.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

I hate you all. :)

[lil-banik-slave.livejournal.com]

I don't believe you

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

It's the price we have to pay, I know...

I'm sure it's worth it.

[lil-banik-slave.livejournal.com]

*squee* mine was neck and neck until the end wasn't it. Yay, I get to write Starky :-)

I don't need a coin flip.

[alara-r.livejournal.com]

Several people "voted" in my journal, in the comments, a few days ago, but apparently couldn't figure out that they were supposed to come over here and do it. :-)

The results were:

2 extra for Body Snatcher
1 extra for Seventeen Things
1 extra that might go to either Working In Groups or Burning Time

So Body Snatcher wins.

If I finish my 15,000 words early (yeah, right), I will go down the list to the next one. The order of fics seems to have come in:

Body Snatcher
Seventeen Things
Only Human
Working In Groups
everything after that got 3 or fewer votes

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I added number 7 (the winner) to make it a nice round Blake's 7 number--and it won! I don't mind; I want to write them all eventually but I was rather surprised that hurt/comfort won out over Dayna & Og and adventurous AU horror. You guys just like to see Vila and Avon suffer, don't you?

[kerravonsen]

Well, I personally want to see Vila and Avon reconciled.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

And without dying first! :-)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

You only just worked that out?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

The poor things. Right, you asked for it....

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

I agree with kerravonsen; it's the reconciliation I'm looking forward to. :)

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

You evil bastards!:) Now I'm forced to write a crossover:D...

[kerravonsen]

I'm sure vilakins will help. 8-)

[executrix.livejournal.com]

I don't know if "must write" is the way I'd put it, but...I'm on the case.

PS--DueSouth people: does it say in canon anyplace what Elaine's living situation is--I mean, does she own a house or have her own apartment or live with relatives?

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Somehow, my result really surprised me...

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Origami it is. I wonder if the reincarnation one would have got more votes, or less, if I'd mentioned that Avon gets reincarnated as a sarky raven? :^)

[blakefancier.livejournal.com]

Nevermore!

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Having come in second place, it's moved up higher on my to-write list--- ermm... about 18th place?

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it would have gotten mine. Ravens are my favorites, and perfect for Avon.

[lizamanynames.livejournal.com]

Oh, FRELL....

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Numfar, do the dance of joy!

[lizamanynames.livejournal.com]

Vila, perform the dance of angst!

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[izhilzha.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on. :-) Just by putting that one on this list, you had to guess you would probably be writing it. (yes, of course I voted for this one.)

[lizamanynames.livejournal.com]

I actually didn't think it's be that popular - shows what *I* know...

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Hullo, I don't know that I'll be able to have anything by the 28th. Mom broke her hip Dec 30 and January's been pretty much insane. Mom's coming home tomorrow which will at least cut out the 2 hours a day visits to her. Maybe I'll get an idea and write something. Will email you also, as I don't know if you have this set for notifications- and anyway, LJ notifications aren't always reliable.

[kerravonsen]

I got the email, and have replied. Of course your mother comes first!
If you can't write, you can't. Don't worry about it. You have an exemption, not an extension, though. No point in this dragging on. If you want, give us what you have on the 28th, otherwise, don't worry about it.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

I have 803 words ATM. Of course they don't come to a neat ending, but the first scene could actually work by itself if necessary. You never know I might get a word-rush tonight. Worth a try.
