2006 Fic in Review
This is me chillin' out on the last day of holiday. This is also me attempting what seems to be going around as a sort of annual fanfiction review. And, uh, since I technically began posting my very first fanfic in March 2006 ... I'll start from there.
Do I even have to mention all my stories are for the CSI:NY fandom and that my OTP is Danny/Flack? No, really? ;P
1. To DD or Not to DD
The back story for how this cracktastic endeavor came about goes something like this: During a discussion about Danny being the supreme drama queen of the show, a certain wonderful poster and member of TalkCSI forums made the classic quote, "Danny is the DD breasts of CSI:NY."
It was no surprise that my messed up brain immediately brought me to a very, very strange place where Danny Messer had DD breasts. Literally. After much screaming in terror on my part and my brain's ingenious removal of Danny's body hair in order to preserve what's left of my sanity, my brain also added, "Hey. That's not a bad idea for a crazy fanfic!"
And so, To DD or Not to DD was born. I never intended to finish it, to be honest. Instead, I was going to chuck the story after I wrote the seventh chapter because I never saw it as anything more than an experiment to see how much I could write impromptu, without any outline to guide me. You can imagine how stunned I was when I started receiving comments and reviews on it, and there I was thinking, "Woo! Flames!" And I checked out the reviews ... to discover people actually liked it, and wanted more.
Wow. There were people out there who were as crazy as me! :P
And so, I finished the entire story, a whoopin' 100,000+ word monster of one. I think I'll look back at this one as That Insane Man-Boobies Story that Sealed My Fate as A Crack Writer. I've been told the final chapter is a favorite among the Danny/Flack smut fans. >.>
2. Atop the Broken Universal Clock
My first attempt at angst. Angst to the extreme. And I mean, extreeeeeeeeme. After thirty chapters of cracktastic humor, I wanted to try a hand at writing a story that was the total opposite on the spectrum.
When Run Silent, Run Deep aired, it was the perfect plot to use as a base for mucho angsto grando. This I have to admit ... at first, I didn't intend on finishing this story either. *evades flying fruits and chubby lemurs* But! After it turned out readers wanted to know more, I decided to keep going. The storyline grew way more than I ever expected, which is probably why it's still a work-in-progress. That, and angst is quite a challenge for me to write. I always feel all angsty myself after finishing a chapter for this story. *lol*
And not to worry, I am going to finish this story, one way or another. The entire darn storyline is already down in words, just waiting for me to flesh it out. Atop the Broken Universal Clock has a special place in my heart. When the story ends, I'll tell you all why.
I know some people are upset that it's a gen story and not a slash story. I have my reasons for keeping it gen. :> A slash relationship between Danny and Flack would have complicated the storyline more that I liked.
3. Nine Months
While I was starting off Atop the Broken Universal Clock, I was writing Nine Months at the same time. I can't quite recall how this one came about was that there was a discussion about MPREG over at the Danny/Flack thread at TalkCSI forums. MPREG, as in, male pregnancy. I don't remember who started it. Was it me? >.> All I remember was that, from that discussion, I ended up giving Danny the nickname of the Kinka-Poodle. *lol* Then, I wrote the first part of Nine Months, where I gave Flack his nickname of the Jackhammer in a written story. (It's at the end of 'The Beginning' bit.)
Here's something extra you might wanna know if you're curious about the Jackhammer nickname: Nine Months was not the first time I gave Flack that nickname. In fact, the first time I gave Flack that moniker was in one of my fanimations, namely, Episode 2: Sex, Lies & Unopened Flies. Problem is, I've forgotten which part. *lol* I just know it's one where they're, uhm, doing their horizontal tango. I thought it would be funny for Flack to refer to himself as the Jackhammer since ... you know what jackhammers are like. ;P Now, those nicknames have been shortened to Kpoo and Jham by some lovely Danny/Flack fans, and it's cool to see fellow Danny/Flack fans using them. *g*
So! Nine Months was the result of a hilarious, cracktastic Danny/Flack discussion. And yes, if you haven't figured it out, one of the guys becomes an unexpected mommy. *evades more thrown chubby lemurs* Hey, I wanted to try my best to write a good MPREG story, okay! XP I was bored of people complaining about how awful MPREG stories were, and felt that it was possible for a good one to exist!
I wanna thank everybody who voted for Nine Months at the ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
csifanficawards last year again. :> Have you guys any idea how much you shocked me when I found out that story won? *lol* I'm so happy to see there are still people out there with a great sense of humor.
4. Sweet Talk and Apple Pie
This story came out of nowhere. Seriously. It hit me like a ten-ton truck, except it didn't hurt as much and cracked me up in my head instead.
I think what triggered the plot was me recalling a silly Chinese television show I watched when I was a weeeee little lass. I don't even remember the title of the show or what it was about. What I do recall, was this scene where a woman was sleeping sitting up, and a guy who was her friend thought it would be funny to play a prank on her in her sleep. As he was about to draw on her face with a marker and he was laughing to himself how cunning he was ... the sleeping woman talked to him! It frightened the daylights out of him, until he figured out that she was really asleep. After that, he asked her all sorts of stupid questions, and she would answer every one of them.
And I thought, "Hey! I wonder how Danny would react to Flack talking in his sleep?"
And there ya have it. *g*
Oh, the apple pie thing? You're just gonna have to read the story to find out about that.
5. One Week
Holy cow, did this fic become Smutville or what. *lol* I tell ya, I'm being honest here, I really did not expect it to have as many smex scenes as it does. Really! Why don't ya believe me?
I mean, alright, when the idea for this story came to me, no pun intended, the focus was, "Okay, Danny gets insecure and slaps one week of celibacy on Flack the sex maniac. How much smex could there be in a story like that?!"
Of course, I just had to forget there was such a thing as flashbacks.
Instead of just one major smex scene, the story ended up having four. At least, I think that's it. >.> Didn't hear any complaints about them, so it was all good.
The official ending for the story was a last minute addition. Actually, what happened in the third last installment wasn't even part of the original outline, but the idea of Flack merely running after Danny and Danny forgiving him just like that .... hmm, didn't seem to fit. There had to be something more drastic to shake both guys up.
This one also has a special place in my heart somewhere. I'll look back at this one as That Seemingly Smutty One that Was Actually All About Trust and Love.
6. Flack a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
Inspired by a cold I caught. True.
My medicine-addled brain said to me, "Gee, what do ya think Danny's like when he's got the cold?"
And I sniffled, "He'd be a brat. An absolute brat."
And my brain said, "And what would Flack do about that?"
And I sniffed, "Ya know ... that's a interesting idea for a story."
Ping!
Don't ask me how Danny ended up having Pikachu bedroom slippers. I don't know how he got them either.
7. Post-Nine Months Drabbles
Heh, quite explanatory. *g* I adore the thought of Flack and Danny playing with babies. I guess maybe that's another reason I wrote Nine Months. When Nine Months was finished, I was half-hearted to let go of the storyline for good. Hmm, well, actually there's a sequel brewing in the back of my head for it, but I dunno when that's going to be written.
First post-Nine Months drabble - Wrote this one just to satisfy my Flack-and-Danny-cuddling-and-loving-a-cute-baby craving.
More post-Nine Months drabbles - Ideas that were too short to be written as long stories, so they became drabbles.
Tea Time - Because even an ex-Marine like Mac loves babies.
8. Sweet Love
I think this one was written after a discussion where some Danny/Flack fans felt there were too few 'first time' stories for the guys. At the time, I was also listening to Anita Baker's Sweet Love song, and boom! The lyrics to the song inspired me to think up of the plot for the story.
Every Danny/Flack fan knows how much Flack enjoys staring at Danny, so I decided Sweet Love had to be 'first time' story where Danny was the one doing the pining and daydreaming instead.
It's got only one installment left. Promise it'll be worth the wait. ;>
9. The Five Sense of Don Flack, Jr.
Woo, what do I have to say about this? You might have noticed Danny is usually the bottom in the stories, something I'm planning to rectify more often with future stories. And no, that was not a play on the word rectum.
So, yes. A certain homicide detective gets to find out what it's like to, uhm, take it.
Inspired by Justin Timberlake's My Love. Hey, it's a hot song, a'right?
10. Birds, Bees & One-Eyed Aliens
Another post-Nine Months story, but because it's too long for a drabble, it's a ... story. Yeah.
This one was written because I'm just evil and wanted to make people spit out their food and drinks when they read it. *evil cackle*
And that's all I'm gonna say!
11. I'm Hot For You
I get inspired by the weirdest of things.
I was reading about various types of chilli and peppers, and upon seeing the chayenne pepper, I knew I had to write a short story of Danny and Flack - ... heheheh, I won't give it away.
12. What Hurts the Most
I must have some masochistic streak in me or something, because, according to the outline I've jotted down for this one ... it's going to be an even bigger angst fest than Atop the Broken Universal Clock. Yeah. If you think that story's chock full of angst, geez, you guys might pull out your tear-stoppers or something just for this.
And Flack fans are gonna kill me. When I post the second chapter (which is the next one to be up at the time of writing this), everybody's gonna know why. :P
Oh, unlike Atop the Broken Universal Clock ... trust me, this one's definitely slash.
And lastly ...
13. Tummy Troubles
Of all the things to inspire me to write this one, it was a story related to me by a friend about his own tummy problems. Let's just say what he went through was about ten times worse than what Danny does in this one.
It happens to be a post-Fare Game short story. That oughta give you a clue.
Well. I hope that was a nice read for ya. If you have any questions you'd like to ask me about my stories or anything above, feel free to do so. I can't guarantee I'll give ya non-insane answers though. ;>
