Sort-of Avengers fic: "The Avengers Yoga Set," G, team
Title: The Avengers Yoga Set
Author: Kris
Fandom: LOTRiPS
Characters/Pairing: Team, plus Coulson
Rating: G
Summary: "Be an Avenger--do yoga! How do you think Black Widow gets that flexibility, Thor that strength, Banner that control?"
Notes: This has been on my hard drive for a while as I waited for my f-list to find Avengers fandom. *grin* The time has come! This is unrepentantly silly, but actually makes a *great* (if somewhat kick-ass) yoga set... I promise! This is particularly for just_ann_now, as well as anyone else who does yoga!

Thanks to all for a *very* happy birthday!
It was a wonderful day indeed--lots of sunshine and a fantastic art exhibit and then all of you with your wonderful wishes... so I had a fantastic birthday!

Thanks to seleneheart and foxrafer for the ecards, to silsbee329, liars_dance and mooms and govi20 for the delicious chocolate tortes (all the chocolate I can eat, and no calories, yay!), to anthos65 for the ruby heart, to foxrafer again for the snowman (I think he helped scare away the rain!), and to kittylass for the blue dragon (I'm pretending he's a fire lizard...). Also, thanks to just_ann_now, alex_quine, and fawsley for the amazing birthday fics.

And as usual, I spent my birthday knowing caras_galadhon would provide a lovely post-birthday giggle--and she did, so thanks to her for that, as well as the birthday wishes (and c'mon, wrestling and hockey, we gotta do it... *snrch*)

If I've forgotten anyone, my apologies--you all spoil me dreadfully!

*hugs you all so very tight* Thanks to all of you!

Early birthday ficlet for caras_galadhon and savageseraph: "Beware the Bean"
Like splix, I'll be out of town on your actual birthday, my dears, so here's my humble offering a little early--enjoy!

Title: Beware the Bean
Author: Kris
Fandom: LOTRiPS
Pairing: SB/VM
Rating: G
Summary: Viggo and Sean visit Chicago. Sean has a few regrets.
Archive: Rugbytackling, Sons of Gondor, anyone else please ask.
Notes: For the lovely caras_galadhon and savageseraph, a bit early for their birthday. I hope this makes you smile, ladies. And yes, this is somewhat based on real events... *snerk* Never take a tour of a major art museum with an art major, that's all I can say.

For the lovely caras_galadhon


My muses have been shamefully absent for months, alas, but I hope what I *can* give you will make you laugh:



Can't you just see Aragorn watching from the tower, and torn between *facepalm* and wanting to replicate some of those moves... in private? Hmmm... gimme a day or two, I might have something there...

*hugs you tight* A little silliness for one of my best friends!

Happy housewarming, sweetie!

Belated Thank-yous for a wonderful day!
Huh--I'm "Monty Python old", as we say in our neck of the Bay (aka, Finland, since it's always damp and cold in my apartment). You know, "Old woman!" "Man!" "Old man!" "I'm not old, I'm 37!" *snicker*

Thank you all for making it such a lovely day! I've been under the Deadline From Hell for the last week, so having little somethings pop up all day was just the thing I needed to keep me from going crazy!

Thanks to caras_galadhon, savageseraph, mooms and govi20, kittylass, silsbee329, anthos65, nienor78, liars_dance, seleneheart, just_ann_now, edoraslass, and of course to my Birthday Twin foxrafer, for the wonderful birthday greetings and v-gifts! They're still making me smile.

alex_quine and shegollum wrote me and foxrafer absolutely wonderful birthday fics: The Soldier's Fame by Alex and All the Time in the World by Shegollum. Go, read, they're wonderful!

*looks at list above* Wow. I'm amazed and grateful to have so many wonderful folks as friends--thank you all, so so much!

*hugs all of you until you squeak*

A Silly Birthday Gift for silsbee329 and foxrafer: "Horton Hears a Who-Doctor"
Title: Horton Hears a Who-Doctor
Author: Kris
Fandom: Dr. Seuss/Doctor Who
Characters: Horton the Elephant, Tenth Doctor, Ninth Doctor
Rating: G, and BS for Birthday Silliness!
Summary: "A person's a person, no matter how small." Unless, of course, that person happens to be a Time Lord. And a Doctor.
Notes: Happy Birthday to foxrafer and a slightly belated birthday to silsbee329! This silly little nothing is entirely the Fuzzband's fault--he started me down this road with an offhand comment about Horton and Doctor Who, and as these things do, it went rapidly downhill from there. So I hope it was and is a terrific day, ladies!

Original ficlet/WIP: "If On All Hallows Night a Traveller...", OMC/OMC, G
Title: If On All Hallows Night a Traveller... (part 1 of ??)
Author: Kris
Fandom: None--original fic!
Pairing: OMC/OMC
Rating: G
Summary: A young man meets his destiny--but is he willing to take it up?
Notes: This is definitely a WIP... and in second person, no less. I've gotten a little further, but I wanted to post this far and see what people thought. The first two paragraphs were written by the lovely foxrafer, and are used with her gracious permission--it was the "entry" to her Halloween Trick or Treat entry this past year, and sparked the rest of this, and hopefully the rest of the story.

All comments welcome--want to see more, think I've gone off the rails, let me know!

Ficlet: "The True British Passion," SB/VM, G; for foxrafer
Title: The True British Passion
Author: Kris
Fandom: LOTRiPS
Pairing: SB/VM
Rating: G
Summary: Everyone knows beer and football are British passions... but Sean has a slightly different hierarchy.
Archive: Rugbytackling, Sons of Gondor, anyone else please ask.
Notes: This is not the fic I mentioned earlier. *grin* This little bit of nothing's been niggling at my brain ever since foxrafer wrote her wonderful fic Cupcakes for the Soul, and commented that she'd love to see a fic where Sean was a Doctor Who fan. Well, since her fic was about knitting, I sort of took that and ran with it. So this is for you, Candice! It's *extremely* silly, but I hope it's enjoyable!

Happy belated 2011!
Happy 2011, all! I know I'm a little late... *looks shamefaced*

But I did want to say thanks to all of you who sent me gorgeous holiday cards, so thank you to:

cruisedirector, mrkinch, the_reverand, dienw, shegollum, edoraslass (ooh, sequins and sparkles!), seleneheart, empy, kortirion, anthos65, cocoajava, and liars_dance.

They were all a wonderful thing to come home to! (And if I forgot anyone, my apologies! *hugs you all*) Also, thanks to just_ann_now and nieninque121 for the holiday cookies! *munches contentedly*

And... well, I may have committed fic. It's original, and... sort of odd. I'll post what I have of it tomorrow, since I'm still poking and prodding at it.

Anyway, I hope everyone's 2011 is starting well!

It's also a hobbity birthday gift for all of you, because what's a birthday without presents for everyone? Beta'ed, of course, by the wonderful seleneheart, without whom I would mix my tenses and my “lay/lie” every time!

Happy Lj-versary to me!
Seven years and... *checks* 458 entries ago, cruisedirector brought forth upon the Web a new journal. And its name was ribby, and it was good. *grin*

It's been an interesting seven years--if you'd told me then I'd write more than 400 pieces of fiction over the next seven years, I'd have told you you were crazy, that I wasn't any kind of a writer. *sheepish grin* Good thing no-one did, huh?

And you all have a great deal to do with having such a wonderful seven years! It's amazing to be part of such a creative, supportive, and wonderful community... I still sometimes wonder what I'm doing here! *grin*

On that note, also, thanks to all of you for the emails and comments wondering where I am... I'm still here, but just... taking a sabbatical, I guess. My muses have scarpered, and even though I have a couple of ideas, I can't seem to write them. Part of it, I think, has to do with the yearly "this isn't working, let's try another career" pattern I seem to be in. That and, well, I'm into my "obsessive reading" phase with the new fandom (Torchwood/Doctor Who). But I'm still here, and still occasionally commenting--and I'm always here by email.

Since the publishing industry is going kaput, at least where freelancers are concerned, I decided to try my hand at grant-writing. Which is going, but slowly. I'm still trying to find clients, as always. So if any of you know of a reuptable nonprofit (I'm best in the arts, but really, I can write anything) who is willing to take a chance on a grant-writer with little experience but *lots* of writing chops, I'd love to hear about it!

*toasts all of you with good French cider and cookies* Happy seven years--here's to more!

Happy Winterhanukwaanzmas!
Or whatever winter holiday speeds your sled... *grin*

As of Sunday, I'm heading up North to dialup (and a truly astonishing bag of books To Be Read... yahoo!), so I probably won't be on LJ much, if at all (not that I've been around much as it is... *sheepish grin*).

That being said, thank you to everyone who's sent cards--I feel loved! *smile* Mine may not get out until after Xmas, I'm afraid--but as far as I'm concerned, the holiday season lasts until Twelfth Night, so I still have some time.

Happy holidays to all of you; I hope they're wonderful, and 2010 even more so--see you in the New Year!

*hugs everyone tight*

Torchwood/Doctor Who Fic: "In Libris, Liberitas," Ianto, Jack, Rose, Nine, the Tardis; PG
Title: In Libris, Liberitas
Author: Kris
Fandom: Torchwood/Doctor Who
Pairing/Character: Ianto, Rose, Jack, Ninth Doctor, the TARDIS
Rating: PG
Summary: For Ianto, books are freedom. The Tardis has a Library. She also has other passengers.
Notes: This is unapologetically AU; Ianto, on the Tardis with Nine, Rose and Jack. I have no idea how he got there, but really, I wanted to see Ianto with Nine. And since there aren't that many stories out there (though there are some *really* good ones), I decided to write a short version. Well, it started out short. *grin* 1300-odd words later...

Ficlet: "Mooring Line," Torchwood, Jack/Ianto, PG
Title: Mooring Line
Author: Kris
Fandom: Torchwood
Pairing/Character: Jack/Ianto
Rating: PG
Summary: Jack's sorry; Ianto is listening.
Notes: Um... so, I seem to have a new fandom. Maybe. *grin* Originally written for dawning_star, who asked that I write a Jack/Ianto letter as part of her meme here. (Hers for me is wonderful, but bring a bunch of tissues... *sniff*) I'm still working my way through the series, though, so since the last episode I watched was "Adrift," and I felt like it needed something, here you go. Oh *god*, I'm writing Torchwood. *shakes head*
