Because I said it elsewhere and several people went, "bwa... huh?" and because yahoo sucks at announcing things (seriously, they can't email all the accompanying emails?), I thought I'd mention it here, c&p'd from geocities itself:

Important Announcement

After careful consideration, Yahoo! has decided to close GeoCities later this year.

You can continue enjoying your GeoCities service until then — we just wanted you to let you know about the closure as soon as possible. We'll share more details this summer. For now, please visit the help center for more information.


And while there is nothing up yet, eventually I hope to be moving all of my fic to wordpress.

This was supposed to be a measly 100 word drabble as part of the timestamp meme. The thing is, nnaylime actually managed to pic one theme I have lots of unwritten fic for floating around in my head. So she gets a whole darned fic. Unbeta'd, sadly, so feel free to concrit.

( Isobel, fourteen years later )

Stolen from nnaylime just because I like it THAT much -

Give me one of my stories and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

Go for it! I've been working hard on an ongoing story and think it might be fun to go back and look at old ones. :)

Title: All That Matters
Author: Christine
Fandom/Pair: The West Wing, Josh/Donna
Rating: Mature
Spoilers: everything
Disclaimer: So very much not mine. I believe John Wells last had custody and Aaron Sorkin had it before him.

Notes: I love that Bex and Zinke actually don't mind betaing something as annoyingly hard to beta as my ramble!fics. Thanks, ladies! VERY much appreciated.

(  How could you not have made this happen sooner? )

Title: Running Mates (and Other Considerations)
Author: Christine
Fandom/Pairing: The West Wing, Josh/Donna
Spoilers: Series
Disclaimer: Not mine in any way.

Notes: This was a scene that was going to be part of the Coming Back To You alt-universe and then never made it into the fic because it never quite fit right. So I've expanded it a bit, changed it a bit, and left it all on its own here.

Much thanks to Leli and Zinke for looking this over first and pointing out all my inconsistencies amid dealing with the AUishness of it all. :)

Author: Christine
Fandom/Pairing: West Wing, CJ/Danny, with a smidge of Josh/Donna
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Through Requiem
Disclaimer: So very not much mine. I am simply borrowing from both Sorkin and Wells.

Notes: Much thanks to Zinke and Bex for giving me the feedback to make this better (and for helping me make it make sense. ;))

"You know when I came over Wednesday night and it was late and we didn't really talk we just—"
"I have a vague recollection."
"Did that make you feel bad?
"Bad in a— In a what?"
"You know— used."
"For my body?"
"Something like that."
"I'll work through it."
"You sure?"
"It happens. Women want me."
"It's just. I know we have a lot to talk about and I don't want to leapfrog any of it but it was kind of wonderful to just—"
"Not talk."
"Not even a little."
"You want to do it again tonight, don't you."
"I really do."
"I'll leave the door open."

Title: Lessons in Social Studies
Author: Christine
Fandom/Pair: The West Wing, J/D
Spoilers: All of series, esp. S7
Rating: G
Disclaimer: They belong to Sorkin, Wells, etc, but certainly not me.

Notes: Much thanks to Bex and Leli for the much needed input.

( There are too many things in the world we can't do. Mexico's on fire. Why help them? Because we can. )

Quick question:

Does anyone even bother with personal fic sites or archives anymore? Or should I just say fuck it and stop updating mine with new or missed fic, thus saving myself time, hassle and whatever else?

Title: Heavenly Focus
Author: Christine
Spoilers: The Benign Prerogative through Warfare of Ghengis Khan (so… mid-S5)
Disclaimer: Still not mine, even after all these years

Notes: I've got at least 3 partial fics based on The Benign Prerogative, all set at other times, but still harkening back to that final exchange. And yet… none of them are done and I still started this. I should win points for that.

Much thanks to Bex, Zinke and Eman. You are a blessing to know, ladies!

Yeah, chances of me remembering to update here with any regularity are... nil. But I've been trying to write this crazy crossover fic and I think I've lost the banter. And it's been a little slow at work. So I thought I'd try to jumpstart my imagination. So... to anyone who still wanders past here on occasion:

Give me a pairing (romantic or not)
Give me a prompt (a line of a song, an object, a place, a situation...)
I'll try to drabble something
(Try being the operative word)

Ready... Set... Go!
