Title: And Venus Was Her Name
Author: elfflame
Characters: Bellatrix/Morag MacDougall
Rating: Hard R or soft NC-17 for darkness
Warnings: Non-con (from the victim’s POV), general darkness
Kinks chosen: Symphorophilia
Word Count: 2266
Summary: She will do anything to have her back.
Author's notes: Title from the song “Venus,” but don’t let the title fool you, this is no lighthearted fic. Pay attention to the strong warning for the non-con. It’s not graphic, but it does deal with the mental processes of the victim. Please be mindful if this is an issue for you. The story itself is born from an evil little RP idea that came to me and that wolfish_cat indulged. Thank you to ceria for the beta-job. :) And one more notch on my D_D fic list—my first femslash fic here at D_D.

A little something my hubby linked me to, that I want to save for posterity:
Scenes from an Alternate Universe Where the Beatles Accepted Lorne Green's Generous Offer

An intriguing look into the Beatles' careers, singly and as a whole.  Be warned, if you care at all for the Beatles, this is likely to require a few hankies.

Author's Notes: This story turned out to be far more massive than I expected, but I managed it, despite frustration and flu. Huge thank you to ceria_taliesin for hand-holding and a great beta-job, even if we didn’t agree on the end-game. And to nix_noir and kabal42 for their hand-holding as well. Title comes from a Jewish Proverb: “Rejoice not at thine enemy's fall - but don't rush to pick him up either.” My contribution to the ownficfest.

So, still here.  Sorry to those who I haven't been able to talk with.  Way too much going on, trying to get my NaNo written, but I'm getting somewhere.

Check this out:

14276 / 50000 words. 29% done!

Still have to finish off my D_D, but so far, so good. :)

Hope everyone out there is doing well.

Oh, God....please let it be good.

Is officially a success, though I was hoping to get more done. But given how much I did today over all, I'd say I'm doing pretty good.

Word count: 2219

So about 500 words ahead of target for 50k by November 30th.

Also managed to do Recs, the Prophet, edit my K_K and sent that off to the Mods, and got another 250 done on November's D_D. Not to mention brunch with my folks, and watching the latest episode of Merlin with kabal42.

Overall, a good day, so I'm feeling pretty confident. *crosses fingers*

And one more number:
rpwrimo: 1615
From three threads. Not bad. :) At that rate, I'll be at 50k there at the end of the month, too.

And I actually have quite a few fics to rec.  Mostly adult-rated, of course.

For the Public Good - Blamebrampton
Harry/Draco.  Post-war, long one-shot.  When London goes into a time of crisis, the Minister sends two of his best people to help out the Prime Minister of England.  - PG

OMG, I am so behind on this because everyone and their mother rec'd this back when it came out last year, but--read it if you haven't.  It's amazing.

The Boy Who Baked - unknown
Harry/Draco.  Post-war, long one-shot.  Instead of becoming an Auror, Harry decides to indulge his creative side, and ends up becoming one of the best bakers in Wizarding England.  - PG13

My NaNo this year takes place in New York City.  Now, I've only visited once, but there are some resources online I can use.  Still, it would be nice to have a go-to person for information that might not be easily found.  I doubt I'll be asking too often, but I might like someone who knows the city well to read the story afterwards and help punch things up a little to make it more believable as far as place feeling.

Is there anyone out there who lives/used to live in NYC who would be interested in helping that way?

The story itself is an Arthurian modern-day mystery story, with a dash of slash and a bit of discussion of past-lives and how they work.

Don't you hate it when the thing stopping you is always the simplest thing?  It's figured out.

Still stressed, but less so.  Would really like nothing else to explode on me today.  Or the next week or so even...

So, after trying and failing to install a mood theme, I'm giving up after three days.

I'm really upset about it, because it was the first time I'd really tried, and I was really looking forward to having my own Katie McGrath mood theme.

I already had all sorts of plans for making my own, too, because I disagreed with the maker's choices on many of the moods.  And maybe another for Arthur/Merlin with kabal42.

So, yeah, really not in a good place right now.



I'm going to go hide over there ====>
At least, until the latest Merlin episode is available and kabal42 is on.

So, this year, I am planning something different. But I'm so addicted to the automatic feedback I've gotten in the past from my other Nano attempts, that I have decided to create a separate locked journal just for Nano.

I haven't made it yet, because I wanted to gauge the interest.

The story I'm writing this year is Arthurian, and set in modern-day, with Morgana as the main character. Except that she won't be a she, but a he. There will be a slashy romance (it will pretty much be obvious from the get-go, but I'll keep mum for now), and a few sex scenes, though probably not much above an R rating, if that.

This will not be Merlin-verse, but my own take on the characters, but I think those interested in Merlin or Arthurian stories (particularly slashy ones) might enjoy it.

The only two requests I have of those who ask to friend this journal are as follows:
1 - Do not copy and paste or save the story anywhere on the net, even if the place you do so is locked only to you. I intend to try to get this published in the end, and if it is posted anywhere, I won't be able to do so.
2 - I ask that you put your critical hats on. This doesn't mean that you can't say "wow, great chapter," but that if you do see any flaws, you point them out. Particularly when it comes to the overall flow of the story. No, I'm not asking that every comment you make be of that sort, just that you read it with a critical eye to giving feedback, if anything relevant pops up. I certainly don't mind having people there just to read. :)

So...are there people interested? If so, let me know here, and when I've made the journal, I will nudge you with it. :)

So...I have been writing my little heart out. Finished off my Bottom!Draco Fairy Tale fest fic and sent it off with plenty of time to spare. Then I started on my Ownfic, and discovered I had a massive fic on my hands. Managed 10k, then got clobbered with the worst flu I've had since I was a kid. Managed to recover, but my fic got sent in about a week late because of it.

Now I just have to focus on getting ahead on things before the end of October so I can do NaNoWriMo. I don't think I'll manage. I have at least 4 fics to do in the next three weeks. Wish me luck!
