Moonbeam's Fanfiction Predilections -- LiveJournal

I feel awful. Couldn't sleep last night due to a killer sore throat. Still got the sore throat today but have also added in sinus congestion, body aches, and a fever. Also, I'm bloody exhausted but can't seem to sleep any.

So of course I find myself writing frakken' porn!

And not even one of the porn fics I should be writing, like the next installment in the Ping-Pong !verse. But, oh yes, an entirely NEW fic thanks to -- once again -- that evil of evils tfanonkink, the Transformers Anonymous Kink Meme.

Why I keep reading that I have no idea. It's never a good host: all pushy and demanding. Don't you know I have the flu and feel like death warmed (way) over? Have a little mercy on a sick soul!

::blows nose::

Excuse me, I have to go back to writing my (God help me) Grimlock/Seekers fic response now. ::headdesks::

I will leave you with the line that instantly popped into my head when I read the request... ( ...which took over my brain and spurred me to write this travesty even in my miserable state. )

The bonus chapter that wasn't supposed to exist, but which the story just doesn't work without!

P.S. I opted not to raise the rating on account of this sparksex business being awfully damn tame in comparison to my usual porn. ;P

Inspired by my reading and loving of Aeos on the non-sticky page of the tfanonkink meme, I just couldn't help myself. I had to try my own hand at the classic fandom trope of Seekers in heat and going through breeding cycles.

And then it didn't even turn out as cracky as I was expecting! The nerve! ;P

Next part tomorrow!

Yay, it's another installment of the Jack-fic crossovers! Ostensibly written for the 10_inspirations challenge, although it's taking me way too long to get through. Seven more to go! ;P

Prompt: Quote #16 - “I know, a little melodramatic, but you know what they say, one scary sound is worth a thousand threats.” -Rhys in Laurell K. Hamilton's Caress of Twilight

( While at Area 51, Jack takes a very *special* jet out for a ride. )

This totally doesn't count as part of the porn ping-pong. It's not even enough to be a side-story, more of a side... drabble. Or drabble-and-a-half, I guess.

Either way, it's not my fault! XD

( Some spectators of this sport aren't enjoying the game as much as we are. ::snickers:: )

Looking forward to whatever porny goodness the evil bunnies end up leaving you with, katsuko. LOL!

This is the Bonus Chapter written for a prompt on the Transformers Anonymous Kink Meme at tfanonkink. Please read the original story, Size Doesn't Matter, Except When It Does, first. Thank you!

Over the years, I've become a lot more discerning about the quality of fiction I'll read. Despite working in a library, I rarely read books anymore because the quality of the writing for most pro-fic absolutely sucks in comparison to amateur fanfic authors who write because they love it, instead of just because they're paid for it.

Because of that, my standards for high-quality fic have risen drastically over the years. But one thing seems to have remained the same: my love for detailed world-building. Any author who can take a concept and develop it so thoroughly that I end up living and breathing it, seeing it as its own reality, even dreaming about it at night? Those are the stories I love the most, the ones I never forget, and keep going back to over and over again. They are stories which do more than just explore the characters or follow a cunning plot, they are stories that feel alive... rich and immense with detail, background, meaning and future possibilties. They are stories which have created a reality all their own, one which when done well, can often feel more real than canon.

There are several authors I can think of off the top of my head who do this with ease:

1. Macx (aka Gryph) with her undisputed Fire & Ice series in the Knight Rider fandom

2. James Walkswithwind (aka zortified) with her enormously popular 'Centaur AU That Eats Fandoms', to which the world-building was so rich I came to love a show I'd never even heard of just through reading it. (To this day, I've never seen an episode of Houston Knights despite reading several hundred fics for it.)

3. Nix (aka crimsonquills) who continued the Centaur AU brilliantly into two new fandoms and gave it even more depth and richness.

4. Red Wolf (aka redwolfoz) whose werewolves Wolf and Declan have been part of my personal life for so long I've claimed Dec as my own perfect mate. Alas, too bad he's ficitonal. ::pouts::

5. TenthMuse1 who seems to excel in world-builing, even if her most popular one is a world I don't particularly like.

6. Jennifer Lyon and Suzanne Bickerstaff with their classic, beloved fantasy X-Files novels, The Magician Trilogy (in four books).

7. Sam (aka copperbadge)'s better-than-canon Sirius and Remus raising Harry Potter AU.

8. Domenika Marzione (aka miss_porcupine) who has taken the flippant world of Stargate: Atlantis and given it's military a voice and believability, as well a host of characters the readers keep looking for every episode despite them not actually being canon.

9. Susan Foster's Sentinel GDP AU, which while often unpleasant, no can deny has a life of its own.

and of course,

10. The entire Magnificent Seven fandom, who cooperatively brought to life the ATF AU based off of one tiny little fic by Mog.

And now the newest name to add to my list, Sanjuno Shori Niko (aka sanjuno), who's taken the original G1 of Transformers and built an entire culture from the dregs of canon. A culture that revolves around my favourite characters, the sleek and gorgeous Seekers: Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp.

The Nine Rings of Vos, A Transformers G1 Fanfic
by Sanjuno Shori Niko

Summary: The Seekers have a plan, one that spans the entire length of the war, and is now coming to fruition. Soundwave and the Cassettacons get caught up in the plot, and somehow cannot find it in their sparks to regret any of it. As for the Autobot and Decepticon factions, well, they are all just really, really confused.

Link goes to the main timeline of series that span over 50 stories and millions of years. It's fun, full of humour and love, and best of all... builds a world I can't help but love.
