So, um, I was going through my WIP folder last night...

[holdouttrout]

I have a couple of fics or parts of fics that are being relegated to my "Probably Will Never Post" folder, in which fics I wrote either too early or too late can rest comfortably without disturbing me by actually being on my journal, unlike some fics I could name.

These include an "Aliens (Tried to) Make Them Do It" for Sam/Jack that just. No. Seriously, if I posted it, you would all tilt your heads to the sides and go "Okay, who wrote this and why on Earth did Trout steal it?"

Then there's the amnesiac Sam/Jack fic in which the point of view changes every sentence and everyone is wildly OOC.

Another one involved babies.



I came across a Sanctuary WIP that made me do a double-take. Exactly who of you all would disown me if I posted an angsty, f-ed up John/Helen smut scene set in the almost-present day? Because I'm not sure how I feel about having written it.

Also, is anyone at all interested in a cracky-but-kinda-serious-ish Sam/Vala fic in which Don't Ask Don't Tell plays a roll? Because I had it sitting on my computer for a while, and then DADT was repealed, and now I feel it's outdated. Also, there's vampires. Kinda.



You're totally going to make me post these, aren't you?

I bet that even if they're terrible, they still have witty bits.

I have a folder like that, and I tell myself that someday I'll post them with a sockpuppet or something. In one, Sam has Rodney McKay's super-genius-baby triplets, just for example. Maybe someone needs to throw some sort of event that would make these acceptable to post for some excuse? *shrug*

Even with fic amnesty, I don't think those first two will make it. *shudders*

"Okay, who wrote this and why on Earth did Trout steal it?"

Bwahahaha!

Thank you for making me laugh so hard at the mental image of dozens of fangirls quizzically tilting their heads all at the same time that I had to shut my office door. :D

Okay, now I'm laughing. :-)

Cracky-but-kinda-serious-ish-with-vampires-kinda is awesome. Regardless of actual content.

And yes, we're totally going to make you post these. 'Cause we're evil awesome like that. :)

:-D Excellent.

I'm not sure why you think you'd be disowned for this. Actually it sounds rather the best way to go about it. ;-)

Hee! I think I'm more just nervous because it would be my first Sanctuary fic. Have to take a look at it soon.

I don't even care if it's terrible (which I know it wouldn't be), but I'd kill for some A(tt)MTDI or amnesia!Sam/Jack. Besides, I jump viewpoints every five minutes... I can handle the fic.

Also, so few new good SG-1 stories posted recently (aside from Annerb's most recent)... I'll take anything!

So yes. Doooooo eeeeet!

Actually, I'm pretty sure these are that terrible. I can't read them without cringing. But I AM working on writing other things.

[kedd.livejournal.com]

There are MANY fics out there I can't read without cringing. I highly doubt those two would come close to some of it. I imagine they at least have sentences and correct spelling. :)

But I AM working on writing other things.

And YAY!

We really need to have a fic amnesty/exorcism day around here or something. I would happily read what you don't want to post! :)

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'm not sure I'd let those two off my hard drive even with amnesty. *g*
