This story from Robin McKinley's blog is too adorable to not share. It comes to you in screengrab form, because I now have a Firefox add-on that will save the entire page. (So cool!)

And snippet!fic, McCoy/Jocelyn. This isn't set in the story proper, but I was trying to work out how they'd met, and now that story wants to be written.

It is kind of breaking my brain to call Bones something other than "Bones" or "McCoy," I will not lie.

Lucy Lawless, even though I promised Kunal, because she! is! so! cool! RIDICULOUSLY LARGE images behind the cut.

This entire thing should probably be prefaced with a brief explanation: Ever since I wrote this story, I've been desperate for some McCoy/Jocelyn fic. (Jocelyn, btw, is the name that most Star Trek novels give Bones' ex; I tend to go along with it, even if it isn't strictly canon, because "Jocelyn" can be shortened to "Joss" and that is a pretty fine name.) I'm not sure if this is inspired by Bones always wearing his wedding ring (at least, y'know, in my head canon) or a need to reclaim Jocelyn or what, but I'm kind of toying with the idea that they're still desperately in love, but for whatever reason couldn't make things work out.

Okay, so this is my awesome idea of the week: Lucy Lawless should play Jocelyn. I KNOW, RIGHT? I CAN'T BE ALONE IN THINKING THIS IS AWESOME.

Star Trek: AOS references. Mostly geared towards writers, because that's the sort of thing I tend to collect, but hey, someone else might find it useful, right? Updated whenever I stumble across something new.

Blame this on the kink meme; the top two prompts on my "to write" list are for girl!Spock/McCoy and Spock/Reaper!McCoy. Combining them *seemed* like a good idea. Seriously, though, the things that meme is doing to me aren't even funny. I'm actually thinking about writing mpreg, and that hasn't been my thing since I was thirteen and reading Harry/Draco like there was no tomorrow. I might as well give in and write Kirk/McCoy, too. *facepalm*

TITLE: No Going Home
CHARACTERS: Kind of gen-ish, really girl!Spock/Reaper!McCoy I am not even kidding.
WORDCOUNT: ~3200
WARNINGS: Violence. Nothing terribly graphic, but it's Doom, right?
SUMMARY: Klingons and Olduvai are not a desirable combination. And Starfleet was working so well for him, too.
NOTES: A Star Trek/Doom crossover, with appearances by—still not joking—the Avengers. Yeah, you think this is sad, wait until you see how many sequels are rattling around in my head.

TITLE: My Best Friends' Wedding
CHARACTERS: Spock/McCoy, Kirk
WORDCOUNT: ~1300
NOTES: Written for the kink meme. Not-terribly-appropriate!title is not terribly appropriate.
SUMMARY: So the telepathic bond thing seems to be working for Spock and Bones. Except for the part where it's driving Jim up the wall.

[01] I live! I had this massive paper that I put off I forgot about ate my brain and sucked the fluid from my spine anyway, there was a paper on the mingling of pagan and Christian imagery in early British literature. Interesting stuff. Not so much when you spend a couple of days buried knee deep in it, but, y'know. It could have been worse. (It could have been the retreat from Moscow!)

[02] I pounded out eight pages of a girl!Spock/Reaper!McCoy fic this morning. I'm not even kidding. Forget homework, *Karl Urban* is eating my brain. BLAME THE KINK MEME no, really, blame the kink meme - there are all these requests for Doom/Star Trek crossovers, and then there are requests for girl!Spock/McCoy, and...I don't know either, it seemed like a good idea in the shower.

[03] ALSO. WHAT'S NEW?

[04] Things that are both awesome and useful: this map of Alpha Quadrant.

[05] A meme: Go to http://quotationspage.com/random.php3 and browse the random quotes until you find five that you think reflect who you are or what you believe.

Or, seven reasons why you should join sheldon_penny.

So maybe you've seen The Big Bang Theory, maybe not. If you haven't - let me tell you, it is an awesome show for the number of fandom references it packs into a single episode alone, not to mention the fantastic ensemble cast. The premise is that a street-savvy hopeful actress (Penny) moves in across from two roommates (Sheldon and Leonard), a pair of beautiful minds who share a workplace (Caltech) and an interest in all things geek. Leonard/Penny is the show's canon pairing, but Sheldon/Penny is ascendant, and for good reason.

sheldon_penny is the center of the fandom. Maybe you're a rabid OTPer, maybe you're a multishipper, maybe you like Sheldon/Leonard but the chemistry between Sheldon and Penny is too good to pass up; whatever your motive, you need to be in this fandom. I am not joking. It is AWESOME.

K, so you probably want reasons, right?
