Gryvon's Fiction

So, Yuletide was awesome this year. I wrote two fics, one of which was a brand new kink for me. I was all "this is the first I've run across this, must not be a very popular kink but seems okay to me" and then I wrote fic and the Yuletide readers have been proving how very wrong I was about that kink. Like whoa.

Author reveals are this weekend. Whee!

So, to start off, I got five fic. FIVE. And they're all awesome. ^___^

Just a Little Slip - (Grimm, PG, Eddie/Nick) It started with I need you and I trust you and protect my aunt and please. And it’s been so long since Eddie’s been wanted that he just couldn’t say no.
I asked for a fic about Eddie going all animalistic and this fit that to a T.

Not My Type - (Hellboy, PG, Nuada/John) When John gets back, a lot of things are different around the BPRD. Most notably all the elves.
More Nuada/John!!! There is so not enough of this pairing!

Tree Dreams - (Hellboy, PG, Nuada/John) John Myers: Tree Hugger.
Even more Nuada/John, with a slight humor bent and a setup full of awesome and win.

Stop and Smell the Grimm - (Grimm, R, Eddie/Nick) Sometimes Nick forgets exactly how good Monroe's sense of smell is.
THIS!! OMG THIS!!! *flails*

Little Details - (Hanna is Not a Boy's Name, G, Gen) It's not that he minds - but Hanna doesn't share much, so when he does, it feels extraordinarily important.
Fic! For HiNaBN!! Happy, happy case fic!

And other fic I enjoyed, sorted by fandom, with a mix of genres and pairings or lack thereof:

The Weight of a Gun anthology, which I have a story in, is out today. Ebook's $6.99 and the print copy is $13.99. It's a rather hot and steamy anthology, centered around gunkink with a wide variety of genres.

Here's a short excerpt from my story, The Machinist:

"I'm Avery, by the way," he said into the silence. He could hear the other man fumbling with something behind him. "Avery Belfour. From Burning Grounds. And you are?"

"Shut up."

"That's an odd name." Avery could feel his chances of survival decreasing every time he opened his mouth.

The gun withdrew. He had time to briefly fantasize that the stranger was going to let him go before the gun smacked him across the back of the head. He should have expected that. Avery fell forward and caught himself on his palms seconds before his face smacked into the dirty floor. Dust tickled his nose. He started to rise but the cock of a hammer stopped him.

"Stop talking." An explosion marked the stranger's words. Someone had brought out the big guns.

Avery's muscles protested the strange position. The sooner he could sit up, the better. He wasn't used to being bent over like this while still fully clothed. A familiar scent caught Avery's attention. Blood. He knew it wasn't his own, which meant that the smell was coming from his captor. That, or there was a corpse in the room, but Avery liked to think he would have noticed that when they'd walked in.

"You're injured." He could feel the stranger's ire growing as he spoke. "I can help." He'd gotten out of more than a few sticky situations by offering aid. He doubted it would be enough to get the man to let him go, but maybe it would put him on a bit better footing.

There's a review of the anthology up at Pants Off Reviews.

If you happen to pick up a copy, let me know what you think. ^_^ I've got the anthology on my Nook, waiting to be read as soon as I get done with Yuletide.

Once Upon a Time

( The side evil characters are rapidly topping my favorite characters list. )

In Time

( This movie made me want glow in the dark tats, but not the kind that might kill me. )

Foxy Shazam, Patrick Stump, and Panic at the Disco

( I have now learned that concerts CAN give me seizures... )

House

( I just can't quite you. )

Grimm

( The awesome doesn't stop )

New Computer, Windows 7, and Scrivener

( Can I marry Scrivener? Think my boyfriend will mind? )

Hawaii Five-O

( They brought mpreg into the show... Seriously. )

Bones

I love the southern boy intern. That is all.

NaNoWriMo has come once again. I'll be participating, as usual, though this year I'm focusing on trying to get something actually publishable instead of the usual fanfic. (That's a lie. It'll be likely half fanfic at least since I have a big bang due Dec 9 and two ongoing chapter fics but I have this vague hope of getting through the novel too without dying.) Now, I know I can do the 50k writing part but the big hurdle, at least for me, is revision and finding a revision partner (aside from my wonderful twin who is much abused with my many last minute dumps of fiction to beta). So, I was thinking of a way to do revision and then I thought of my twin's novel which is also going through revision chapter by chapter and I figured there had to be more people who would like some help with revision, what with it being NaNo now. What I came up with is:

Chapter Revision Exchange! (Maybe...)

How this would (theoretically) work:

- Authors sign up (giving the length of their work, possibly genre and other details)
- Authors are matched to reviewers (Using a circular structure so that you're not reviewing the person who's reviewing you, and matching people based on length of work)
- Each week, starting Jan 1, authors post 5k worth of chapter(s) for review (likely on a locked forum, so other participants could see and give additional revision notes but it wouldn't be public)
- Revision would run until the story's done. For standard NaNo of 50k, that would wrap by March 10th. For YA novels of <80k (aka my target), that would wrap April 22.

There are other forums out there for revision (Absolute Write, Critters, Book Country) but I kind of want something NaNoWriMo-focused and fandom-friendly. (In other words, something open to fanfic as well.)

Thoughts? Interest?

Finally got through the writer's block that's been kicking my ass on the help_japan fic I owe avocado_love. There will be more to this, but I wanted to get something out there since it's been so long. (Sorry. -_-)

Title: The Tokyo Job
Fandom: Inception/Naruto
Pairing: Eames/Arthur, Kakashi/Naruto
Rating: NC-17
Written For: avocado_love for the help_japan fundraiser
Summary: There's a corporate spy at Proclus Global. Saito calls in the best to hunt the leak.

( The call came at an inopportune moment. )

I am on Twitter, unsurprisingly as @gryvon. If anyone else is on Twitter (I know Sejitsu and Avocado Love are ^_^) let me know cause I need more fandom in my twitter stream.

So my hp_3fofun story has been turned in, full of Snape, Draco, and Harry goodness. The story will appear on the community LJ sometime after November 1st and then my site January 1st. I think this is the first challenge comm I've run into that requests an exclusive on posting for a certain amount of time, which almost made me not participate. But the story idea was awesome and it'll make its rounds to other sites eventually.

I can't wait for December 9th and getting my first short story published! Looking into doing a lot more anthology submissions, and November's going to be insane with NaNoWriMo. I will get my novel done.

This month is all about KakaIru, with maybe some Psych (aka the third part in that Psych series I've been doing where Shawn's actually psychic) thrown in if I get done early with the rest of it. And then that kills off my signups up until Yuletide. But it's a good thing October is light because...

( ...the rest of the rambling )

Title: Resistance is Futile
Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Pairing: Erik/Charles
Rating: NC-17
Written For: sinuous_curve as part of the erik_charles summer fic exchange
Summary: Erik wars with his growing attraction for Charles while road-tripping across the country with the oblivious telepath.

( It had been Charles's idea to share a room. )

First off, I received a wonderfully done fic with Arthur and Eames fighting off dream-invading aliens. It's Never Let the Dreams Begin by Valonia.

I ended up picking up a pinch hit this year, which was amusing as they both ended up as different apocalypses in the same fandom. Also the first few fics (plus one for the erik_charles summer exchange that will be posted sometime this week) I've ever written in the fandom. There were a lot of things I wanted to include but they didn't work themselves in... like the pr0n. >.> I feel like such a bad smut author, writing two fics in a row without the sexy times.
