Stories with no comments or kudos:
A Solemn Warning [Batman by way of Hoosier Riley]

(All of these did get comments when they were first published elsewhere, on Usenet or Livejournal, just not on AO3.)

Because this year, between various Yuletides and the fact that a few months ago I went through my collection of old fic and uploaded (and backdated) everything I was still willing to expose people to, there's actually some chance of being able to provide meaningful answers.

Yuletide authors have been revealed, so I now know to thank [livejournal.com profile] chokolattejedi, petrichoral, and [livejournal.com profile] rabidsamfan for my gifts. Thank you all so much!


It also means I can talk about what I wrote.

I wrote two stories - one full-length, and one short "treat" - for shewhoguards. They're both set on Sesame Street, with references to other fandoms the way real Sesame Street includes high culture and pop culture references.

The full-length story is about Cookie Monster doing his Cookie Monster thing, with references to some of the other fandoms that were on shewhoguards' wishlist. (I'm afraid the Diana Wynne Jones references are considerably more extensive than any of the others, reflecting my own familiarity with the originals, but there it is.)

The treat started out as a set of throwaway jokes that I couldn't quite get to fit in the main story but didn't want to throw away entirely.


C is for Conjuration (1740 words)

"Hey there, Cookie Monster," says Luis. "You do know that there's no cookie on that plate, don't you? That plate is empty."

Cookie Monster stops his little song and looks up at Luis. "Me know that," he says. "Me using magic to make cookie."


Sesame Treats (260 words)

Our television correspondent rounds up some of the most popular shows on Sesame Street TV.

(Or, Yuletide 2013's three most-requested fandoms gain some Street cred.)


And here, because they're too good not to share, are some of the Sesame Street videos I watched as research for writing these. (Apparently I'm doing this wrong - isn't research supposed to be difficult and unpleasant?)

Questions and answers )

An inspirational writing meme, which I got from [livejournal.com profile] lost_spook. Five fandoms, five random poetic prompts, 250 words.

The instructions )

An interesting experience. The Doctor Who one leapt out immediately and more or less fully-formed, the rest took a while longer. (Speaking of longer, several of them wanted to be, and required careful and ruthless pruning.) When I saw the prompt that lined up next to The Muppet Show, I was worried about what might result, but I think it turned out all right.

The fandoms )
The prompts )

Batman / 'but on the whole fifty was a mess as though' )

Doctor Who / 'The laughing flowers that round them blow' )

The Muppet Show / 'there I saw hope barbed as barbed wire.' )

The Pretender / 'To lend an Ample Sinew' )

The Secret Files of the Diogenes Club: 'Which helpless Nature drops' )

Bonus: Sapphire & Steel / 'An' found myself in seven days of mostly atmosphere' )
