Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence. Some have 2 sentences, because I apparently write half-formed thoughts.

1) “She's barely fit for the general public, let alone a place like Sunnydale.”

2) It was a sad state of affairs when a bad come-on from a guy labelled as 'sex on legs' reduced her to laughter. - untitled Hollywood!AU

3) “I’m telling you, Mac. He came back with a girl,” announced Richie, pointing with his beer bottle.

4) ”Parker? What’s going on? Nate’s voice in her ear barely causes her to twitch, but it’s enough of a movement for Ezra to notice and catalogue. - The Reunion Job

5) Don didn’t know if Banks was the best actor Don had ever seen, or if he truly had no idea that his girlfriend had been an FBI agent.

6) “Would you like that?” she asks him softly, painting a picture she’s sure will get him interested in all the right ways. “Charlie can do the math, tell us where to go, who to hit - we’ll take out the radios and cell towers first; a series of secondary explosions for maximum casualties. This place could be rubble in a matter of days.” - Darker Shades of Morning

7) Sam clenches his fists against the remembered snap of vertebrae, feeling the cooling slick of blood on his hands and arms.

8) She inked more tramp stamps and ‘I love mom’ hearts than she thought possible, and learned that she was better when given free reign with a design than just a simple shape.

9) Fornell had been right; she was running out of job opportunities.

10) Willow had never felt so old as she did staring at the pleading face of one of the newest NCIS field agents.

11) “Well, you're not my problem.” he told her, and Willow thought she could detect a hint of softening in his tone, but it may have been her imagination. “I don't deal with problems like yours. I have enough of my own.”

12) Still, despite everything, Willow is surprised to find Dean waiting outside the diner as she closes up.

Conclusion: I have ADD. I also appear to be addicted to crossovers, though this was never in doubt. (I will point out that 4/12 are non-crossovers. Take that! HA!!)

This may become my official WIP list, though I have 2 projects ahead of all of these. Any preference for completion order? If you can pick out the 4 non-crossovers, I'll let you decide which one I complete next!

Got tagged by [livejournal.com profile] strangevisitor7 to list my top five fav stories (that I wrote) and decided to take this on, if only to remind myself of what I've written over the past 12 months.

Top Five Favorites:
1)The Vala Chronicles - SG1/M7 - The majority of this has been written in the last year, and it was such fun to write Vala and Ezra together, despite their plane load of baggage, that I will definitely keep going. I love everything about this universe, mostly because Vala and Ezra are some of my favourite characters.

2)When Dark Meets Night - My dark Numb3rs AU. This is the universe I write when I'm stressed and bordering on the edge of insanity (which I'm sure everyone can guess). I loved writing a deeply dark Don who draws people to him with a single look, and even though you know you probably won't survive it, you get as close as you can. And I adore the Don/Megan dynamic that is coming out of this (more disturbing and insane than anything else, really). Yet, no matter how bloody and violent and disturbing I make the well-loved characters, I still want to see how much further I can go.
(PS - there will probably be loads more of this universe as I'm writing and defending my thesis, so be prepared. :) )

3)Familia Infortunium - SPN/DA AKA 'The one where Sam's a god'
This story hit me like a fricking freight train. The plot bunny hit, I wrote it all down over the next few days, sent if off to Casey for a beta who then practically exploded with glee (I'm not even joking - I have the email to prove it). It was posted practically a day later, and I have since had only the vaguest of urges to write a prequel/sequel. They don't usually last long. I still love this story, though, mostly because I didn't have to alter either show's timelines to make it work. I was very proud of that.

4)Black Market Favors - Burn Notice/M7 - This one I love because I think it has the best Michael-voice that I've ever done. And it has Ezra. Facing off with Michael (sort of). I'd just discovered Burn Notice, and I had mainlined the entire season in a single weekend, and spent the next week re-watching the episodes a gazillion times until this fic popped out. This story also started my whole 'Ezra as a spy' thing that's going on in my crossover100 table.

5)In Another Life - BtVS/Numb3rs - While this one is not yet completely posted, the majority of it was most definitely written and betaed in 2008 (as Casey and Kat can both attest to). I love it because it made me think hard about characterization and how to get pairing that on the surface seems all wrong, but would be totally great if it ever happened. I put a lot of time and effort into creating a believable Willow/Don relationship, and I think it's paid off. Also, this fic has a theme that seems to be recurring in a lot of my Willow-related plot bunnies: Big Magic has Big Consequences, and that Willow can be awesome as just Willow.

So, that's it. I won't tag anyone, because I think most people are either busy now that the holidays are over, or have already done this.

Later. :)

...otherwise known as 'My TV-Boyfriends'!!

Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] strangevisitor7 cause I apparently have nothing better to do.

List ten fictional characters you would have sex with (in no particular order) and tag 5 people to do the same. (I won't tag anyone, cause I wasn't tagged and I apparently suck at this whole 'tagging' thing, as proven by the last tagging meme I did.)

So pay attention as I drag you all down the road called 'TV shows you've never heard of - and one or two you have!'.

1) Methos - Highlander
Do I really need to explain this one? The sarcasm is legendary - a proven lure for my fangirl heart.

2) Ezra Standish - Magnificent Seven
Gotta love a gamblin' con man, though the rest of the Seven are high on my list.

3) Alec/494 - Dark Angel
I love Dean (SPN), but only because he was Alec first. No amount of gun toting ghost hunting beats genetically engineered super soldiers. Especially ones who like to cage fight shirtless!!!

4) Jarod - The Pretender
Come on! Non-violent superhero, but without the super powers (sort of). Jarod/Ms Parker was my very first OTP!!

5) Lex Luthor - Smallville
This is the Lex from the first few years, where you could delude yourself that he wasn't quite so evil. He had that edge of darkness that was captivating, and made you think everything he was doing was for the good of the people - then the show went to crap and I couldn't take whiny Clark anymore, so stopped watching. (Don't get me started on *why* I can't watch it anymore...seriously.)

6) Victor Mansfield - Once A Theif
One of my very first TV boyfriends - yes, from before my fannish life ever began. He's a good cop who got framed, and now he's a SPY!! What more do you need?? (I will watch anything this actor is in, no matter how horrendous the script.)

7) Don Eppes - Numb3rs
He's hot. Nuff said.

8) Malcolm Reynolds - Firefly/Serenity
I love a good anti-hero, especially one who wears tight pants and a gun-belt. :D

9) Leroy Jethro Gibbs - NCIS
Really, if this comes as a shock to anyone on my list, you obviously haven't been reading Connections.

10) The Doctor (9) - Doctor Who
He was angst and danger in black jeans and a leather jacket. Ten is bouncy and fun, but I prefer the tall, dark and tortured.

Just for added value....the runner-ups: Dean Winchester (SPN), Chris Larabee (M7), Vin Tanner (M7), Mac Ramsey (OaT), John Sheppard (SGA), Cameron Mitchell (SG-1), Alex Krychek (XF), Spike (BtVS), John Critchon (Farscape), Sark (Alias)....I could go on, but I need to work in the morning. :D
