Trope Bingo 2019
Jul. 2nd, 2019 06:49 pmI am determined! I know I say this every time, but I meant it this time! Provided I don't go absolutely bananas on my Marvel bangs -- can't promise anything, knowing myself -- I should have time for a few? Maybe? I hope?
( That said, all in all, it's a solid card... )

trope bingo, round 12: so we meet again
Jan. 4th, 2019 03:15 pm![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
trope_bingo is undergoing a mod shift, so round 12 is an amnesty round. I've only ever completed one bingo out of, hmm, five cards, so I am going to attempt the one I originally grabbed in January 2014.( Trope bingo card, redux )
My goal: the top horizontal line. Why? Because if I do not write a handcuffed together story soon, I think I am going to burst.

Jul. 8th, 2018 11:10 amI signed up for trope_bingo again, because hey, I finished it last time. This card seems much harder. Hmmmm. I am probably not going to do strictly Ric/Star again, but then I say that and sometimes, amidst the flailing, it's just easier to default to them.

Apr. 16th, 2018 09:23 pmTumblr all abuzz because Shatterstar appears in the most recent Deadpool 2 ad for longer than the blink of the eye. I AM ALSO ABUZZ. My body is ready. It looks like he is wearing a garbage bag as a shirt, and turns out I am all for that. And all for that glorious red hair, too. A+++
I also posted my completed single line bingo totrope_bingo. FINALLY. This might be a sign of the apocalypse, btw.
Final story in the line (also the longest):
Cage (15164 words) by Tangerine
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: X-Force (Comics), X-Men (Comicverse)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: Julio Richter/Shatterstar
Characters: Julio Richter, Shatterstar (Marvel), Sam Guthrie, Tabitha Smith, Nathan Summers
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Fork in the Road, Isolation, Loneliness, Captivity, Hurt/Comfort, Suicide Attempt, Familial Abuse, Gun Violence, Sexual Content, Recovery, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Assassination Attempt(s), Friendship
Summary: What if Rictor had never been kidnapped by The Right?
Today, my dental hygienist bragged about her new sonic tooth cleaner. Twelve hours later, I am still in pain. A Jos Louis is too painful to bite into, which I realize is an extremely Canadian reference, but imagine biting into a delicious chocolatey cloud of softness and feeling like you're chewing glass. At least my teeth are clean?
Okay, time to shift focus to myfandom5k story. ::pumped::

Apr. 12th, 2018 07:19 pmI spent way too long picking onions out of my pho, and now my fingers smell awful despite a good scrub. Woe. Dastardly onions, why are you in all the foods that I love?
Not surprisingly, my Fork in the Road story has gone wildly out of control, and I've given up trying to rein it in. My goal is to finish it this weekend -- I really need to get started on myfandom5k story, and my smutswap story could probably do with another read through JUST IN CASE. But damn, I am so close to that line in trope_bingo, I can taste it.
Speaking of which, I finally posted the Gender Swap story:
Different and Beautiful (1429 words) by Tangerine
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: X-Factor (Comics), X-Men (Comicverse)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Julio Richter/Shatterstar
Characters: Shatterstar (Marvel), Julio Richter, Longshot (X-Men), Theresa Cassidy, Guido Carosella
Additional Tags: Gender or Sex Swap
Summary:Rictor returns home from a case, different.
I got an Amazon Fire stick, or whatever that thing is called, and everyone I've told has assumed I picked up some sort of wizarding staff for funsies. Definitely not out of character, if I had done that, but no, I just hate watching streaming things on my desktop computer.

I think I am actually grieving. Ehh. I bought an entire Quality Street tin to cheer myself up.
Something extra to cheer myself up: ( my Trope Bingo card. )
This might be the greatest card I have ever received.

Yuletide wrap up + Trope Bingo
Jan. 4th, 2014 05:16 pmThanks again to ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
NicoleAnell for the lovely Cargo fic, Hold On To This Lullaby! Love love love it! \o/
For Yuletide, I wrote for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Smile (9633 words) by Tangerine
Fandom: X-Factor (Comics), X-Force (Comics)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Julio Richter/Shatterstar
Additional Tags: First Time, Mexico, Pining
Summary: It takes fifty-six hours on a Greyhound bus to get from Raleigh to Guadalajara.
I do actually offer other fandoms than X-Factor, I swear! Writing this fic gave me a chance to actually go back and re-read the heart-breaker issues (i.e. the issues of X-Force where Rictor and Shatterstar got written out and I basically gave up reading comics for five years). Fun things I got to research for this story: transportation options in Guadalajara, concussions, Greyhound schedules, and Beverley Hills 90210.
( I also signed up for Trope Bingo again, despite my utter failure with the last one ... )
Well, I guess that is workable. That last horizontal line definitely gets the bunnies hopping.
Happy New Year to everyone!

Bingos -- Trope and H/C.
Jul. 8th, 2013 06:25 pmBecause I hate myself and am a glutton for punishment, I signed up for two bingos.

( Not as good a card as last time, but definitely workable ... )

circus brainstorming
Jan. 3rd, 2013 05:47 pmSo, I think I went to a circus once, in the mid-80s, but I could just be making that up. So I am brainstorming publicly! In case there is something very not-circusy about Cirque de X-Factor!
( The circus is currently being sued by Fox ... )
~~~
In other news, uploaded a few more older stories to AO3 today, both in the Young Heroes in Love fandom. I don't blame anyone who might never have heard of it. It's a DC Comics series from mid-nineties, that was cancelled after 18 issues. It had one of the first same-sex couples in comics that I knew of (though, iirc, they literally got together in the last issue). It's never been released as a trade (which is a crying shame).
I was very dramatic in my younger years. While I appreciate my enthusiasm, I need to edit a few of these stories before I'm willing to add them to AO3.

Trope Bingo
Dec. 31st, 2012 03:56 pmSo I have managed to miss every fannish bingo in the history of fannish bingos ... until now! Not because I am any more aware of fannish activity, but because I am copying ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jet and signing up for trope_bingo !
( My card ... )
I'm going for two lines, I think. Maybe. We'll see. I'm determined to do this 100% Rictor/Shatterstar, too. Consider this my 2013 resolution -- write moar fic, dammit.
