FYI & Requests Round!

[nike_ravus]

 So, the main reason I've been totally AWOL, even though it's *summer* and I totally should be available and full of fic, is because I've been working really hard on another original project.  I have been working my ass off!  I have 60,000 words already.  If this was NaNoWriMo, i would have won.  But I am not done yet.  I am at the denouement, maybe 6000 words or so left?  And then i will be like okay, find beta readers, begin editing process, and *relax.*  And 'relax' means fic, so I really hope that very soon I will not be writing 4000 words (about princesses) a day, and will in fact, be able to produce some fic.

Stay strong!

And meanwhile, let's have a requests round.  Anyone who bothers to check this journal while it is languishing in disuse, tell me a story you want me to continue, or an idea that you think would be cool, or something that you're really mad at me for forgetting about and blowing off, and let me know.

I will do my best!

Um... right. It's 12:40 AM here, and I was just going to sleep when I got an e-mail about this new entry, so take waht I write here with a grain of salt.
First of all, good on you for writing, and better for apologizing and promising us fic with requests. Second, there are a ton of things I want to see (the whole Dark Avengers arc when Emma was Black Queen/double agent against Osborn in Didi-verse, is the most pressing one I can think of). But things which aren't canon that you're planning to write (such as above example), I have only two things I can think of at this time of night:
A) A fic with good Emma/Tessa interaction. There needs to be more of this, although I've found some good things already. The writers lied when they made them antagonistic. There is no way they were in the HFC together without forming a cool relationship which is not antagonistic, and I want to see it!
B) My old request, which is actually short and to the point - a sequel/epilogue to Scott's Emma. Nothing complicated, just Emma meeting Emily's team (maybe picking her up for a date?), and their reaction to the fact that Emily (who has anal sex with teenagers in clubs as far as they know) managed to get such a girl, JJ's outraged whatever, and Emma messing with them all, either by telling them the truth about that night or some equally screwy embarrassing thing for Emily/the Team. Please?
Right. Sleep. I wanted to start whining and begging. I'll probably write up a more coherent comment and request in the morning.

Maybe something new with Emma? Emma/Faith or Emma/Cara, even Emma/Felicia if you're familiar with Black Cat...

Any of the below would be awesome:

A seguel to "Charity Auction"

More of "City on the River"

A fic where Emma and Emily are already together when Emily joins the FBI. (Not like "The Devil You Know" but in a monogamous relationship.)

Do you watch the tv show Covert Affairs? If you do, I would love to see a Covert Affairs/Criminal Minds crossover where Emily joins the CIA after an AU version of her canon exit. (The Irish dude was killed but Emily decided she couldn't work at the BAU anymore.)

Or if you watch Nikita, Emily joins Division which is now run by Amanda.

Please continue "city on the river"

Ideas? How about a steampunk AU where Emily is a bored noblewoman who uses her airship and her Letter of Marque to the fullest for fun and profit. Enter Emma, an imperious agent of Her Majesty's government ostensibly sent to inspect the ship and her captain. Secretly, however, Emma's actual mission is to entice Emily into volunteering for Her Majesty's Air Army - conscripting a noblewoman would be a political nightmare, but Emily is so damn good that she's making the actual fleet look incompetent. Adventure, angst, and romance (or at least raunchy sex) ensue.

Twice in your fics (can't remember which) you've mentioned Emily's crazy ex-girlfriends and how Emma should/could do something terrible to them with Emily's blessing. So, if you could write something with Emma meeting one of Emily's ex's I would be very happy. Emma doesn't necessarily have to do anything terrible, I just want them to meet and see what happens.
Thanks muchly.

God, I wish I was even half as productive as you are when it comes to writing fics! Still, if you have to be working your ass off, at least you should do it doing something you love, right?

I'm pretty much with what everyone said about continuing with the fics that haven't already been completed yet. My top picks at the moment would be "Fake Empire" and "City on the River" in no particular order.

As for requests, I suppose I have a few.

You said you were planning on continuing the series by somehow introducing Christian, right? Geez, Emily just has a knack for running into Emma's family, doesn't she? Anyway, I think you were going to call it "Asylum" or something, and I'd honestly love to see the first chapter of it!

Emma's the CEO of her own company, right? Well, how about some office sex with Emily? Maybe Emma could even keep some "toys" (in some type of secret compartment like in those spy movies) there for whenever she comes over for some added fun. Plus, if the room isn't sound-proof, I think it'd be hilarious if Emma ended up scarring her assistant/secretary for life with her sexcapades. Additionally, if anyone wandering by tries to press a complaint later, she could just blacklist them. It's not like she doesn't have the power to do that. *snickers*

In chapter 11 of "Fake Empire", I think you mentioned Emma wanting to take Emily and Didi up to a summer home or something. Perhaps you could write a little something about that?

I have an AU idea, which is kinda based off "It's Hard to be a Man". Emily doesn't screw everything up back when Emma was a cadet, so Emma never marries Scott. Emma and Emily are in a non-exclusive relationship although Emily would like it to be. They experiment with the sex-machine a couple times, but one time they're both more than a little drunk (Emma a little more so than Emily), so they forego using protection. Emma ends up rambling about wanting to be with her. Morning after: Emma has no recollection of what she said that night, but Emily does. Flash-forward a few weeks: Emily finds out she's pregnant. When she goes to tell Emma, thinking it might be the one thing that will convince her to stay, she accidentally finds her messing around with someone else. Heartbroken, she ends up leaving off-planet to a nice, quiet place somewhere to have her kid because she want her child to end up hurt and disappointed like she did with Emma. Emma, furious that Emily left, goes to find her, but Emily's covered her tracks well, so it could take her months/years to actually track her down. How they interact when they finally meet up is completely up to you. I'd love a happy ending, but you are right: happy endings are better when they are well-deserved. I know this idea is a little far-fetched, and I haven't thought it out as much as I'd like to, but it has been stirring in the back of my mind for months now.

Other than Emma/Emily, I'd love if you did a short fic about Jubilee/Janine. From your "Christmas Spectacular" segment, it sounds like she had an interesting visit with the Kishi family!

Oo~ And how about writing something with Selene/Cordelia? They were in an established relationship of sorts from your "Danny Zuko" fic, but we didn't actually get to see the two of them interact. C'mon! You're the only person that knows about my special pairing, and you should know that those two are such a weakness for me! Pretty please!

I've been dying to see more of Sage from you though. I know I've said this some time ago, but I think she and Garcia would be cute together. They can definitely complement one another. I know that Garcia could balance out Sage's cold, standoffish behavior and somewhat social ineptitude with her fun-loving self. I may have also mentioned this, but a fic of her out-hacking Kevin Lynch to get Garcia's attention would be totally awesome! Seriously, someone like him up against Sage's abilities? No competition whatsoever!

I think that'll be it from me. I know this list is a tad long, but you said you wanted requests, right? Lol!

I know this is a bit late, but I hope your conference thing went well. It's so amazing that you got a request for a full! I'm not surprised, considering the type of talent you have, of course! I hope everything works out well for you on that end!

I wouldnt mind seeing the sequel to 'Back before We were Brittle'. In which we see young!emma finding and recruiting young!emily. Or maybe one in which Emily switched with her younger self and now Emma has to deal with young!emily.

Or an new chapter for Emily's Notebooks II. I still want to see the romance that created Didi. You skipped the part they fell in love and went straight to them having a kid.

[tracyathene.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, More fake Emipire please!

Also someone suggested a sequel to charity auction - perhaps one where Emma is the one up on the auction block?

You're another author whose work I have missed, glad to know you will be coming back :)

[kith-koby.livejournal.com]

Right, awake and coherent now.
So besides my earlier requests, I'm totally behind a sequel for 'Back before we were brittle', either with young Emily and Emma, or with young Emma dealing with what adult Emma left her, and maybe getting Emily.
I want Asylum, of course - we need to see the connecting story between Hellfire and Fake Empire. We also need to see more of Fake Empire, so we can get to the more advanced parts, like Places Out of Time, Sugar, Hellfire 2, Housewarming, Trust, etc. I really do want to see how a normal (well, somewhat normal) Emma/Emily relationship works, especially with Didi and her unnamed sister... especially as Didi grows up and pairs up with Laura.
I'd like to see the end for It's Hard to be a Man. I think it could be wrapped up in one/two chapters, though you know best. Same for Demons.
Wow. Long list. But those are the sequels I care about most, I suppose. That is, I want to see more of everything, of course. But out of all the options for sequels, those are the ones I'd rather you write, with a certain preference for those you could finish in a shorter period of time (such as Demons - 2 chapters, compared to an entire story for Asylum).
As for original ideas, I already wrote those in my previous comment, but I remembered one more: Cordelia. I want to see more of Cordelia's relationship with Emma, and how Emma's relationship with Emily and Didi affect Emma's relationship with Cordelia.
I think that's really all I can think of. But given how unreliable my mind is, what with studying for tests and stuff, I'm not promising anything.

I would like a sequel to Back Before We Were Brittle with young Emily having no clue how to deal with young Emma.
I would also like you to continue the Didi verse.
Also a mix of the Danny Zuko verse and cannon with Emily joining the B.A.U and maybe just not mentioning Emma because she likes her privacy and then somewhere down the line the team encounters Emma.

Sorry for quoting our own comment at you but well this what i would like to see (but i do understand if you never get chance)

Hello! I enjoyed your review, and getting the favoriting! I'm not sure when I'm going to get around to actually writing the next parts, i have outlines, but they take effort to put into actual scenes. The next part is Asylum, and then there's an incident at the school that is not so thoroughly planned out. I was considering that after that the FBI would carry out an experiment and ask the X-Men to send a few 'consultants' to deal with a mutant serial killer, and Emily, since she has the most experience with mutants, is shafted to deal with it and lead the group. Emma crashes with her and they get used to each other. When the government realizes that allowing the mutants to have access to all their files and equipment is not a particularly popular idea, the secondary team is disbanded. Most of the short fics happen in the time after that, when Emily is technically not supposed to be in contact with any mutant vigilantes, but Emma is also entirely casual about dropping by for sex.
So hope for more, but don't hold your breath. I'll try, but sagas... they are hard.
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

Failing that I would love to see the Emma of before we were brittle meet 'her' Emily for the first time. (of course a chapter of city on the river will always make me happy if all else fails)

Honestly I will be happy whatever you write and I'm glad you are having such success with your original story :-)
