It's my Favorite Topic again!

Someone on fandomsecrets brought up bad lube choices. So of course I had to bring up blood.

btsxbeta: Educating the masses about why blood makes bad lube for buttsex since 2008.

Look what I made! This is what happens when overlithe and I lulz together over artwork like this.

Grah, I'm behind on pimping fic I've had a hand in (from a formal beta to acting as a sounding board). overlithe has some lovely new goodies up:

• Winterborne - a little look at Bruce Wayne before he became Earth-3's Owlman.
  
• Dark City - a Joker POV fic which sort of defies a brief summary. It's almost a prose poem. Lovely.
  
• The Witching Hour - The end of TDK from the Joker's POV. Followup to Dark City, and also something of a prose poem. Marvelous.
  
• The Gothamite Tinies - Edward Gorey meets the Joker. Sort of.
  
• Ego Stroking - Cracktastic clown porn. Joker/Jokester, and just as awesome as you'd expect from overlithe!

Check 'em out!

If you're not familiar with Earth-3, Owlman, and Jokester, this will hook you up.

Checkit:

• Blood Meridian by overlithe is done! WOO!
• overlithe has helpfully posted an Earth-3 Fanworks Master List. ROXOR.

Thank you, that is all.

ETA: There are some icons I made in that fanworks master list, check 'em out!

Behold! overlithe has posted a lovely Earth-3 Jokester/Crane ficlet! Which I beta'd!

She's also posted parts One and Two of a three-parter which I'm beta'ing. Woot. Part Three should be up soon.

Oh, and if you're all "OMFG EARTH-WUT? JOKESTER? WUT?" Read this awesome collection of info.

I blame overlithe for these. (See here for why.)

( Cut for graphics goodness )

Feel free to repost or use, just plz credit btsxbeta and overlithe.

Check it out, people. It's sort of ... a vision of a few different ways the Joker might've gotten started, hung like Christmas lights from a story about an adventure he had in New York back in 1999. With references to everything from Lovecraft to "The Professional" along the way.

I greatly enjoyed beta-reading this fic, and hope y'all enjoy reading it at least as much!

Behind a cut for sensitive readers. BEWARE: POTENTIAL TMI, ICKY IMAGERY, AND DISCUSSION OF BODY FLUIDS AHEAD!

( I'm nothing if not thoughtful )

WOO!

The third (and final) installment of veldeia's Tony Stark/Greg House fic (which I beta'd!) is up, and I realized I hadn't posted about it here. 'course, just about everybody who reads my LJ (all three of you, hah) has probably seen it, but for posterity's sake, here's links:

Scotch & Sarcasm
Beer & Blood
Wit & Whiskey

veldeia did a spectacular job with these - the dialog feels spot on to me and I really like the way it progresses. Good stuff.

And as long as I'm linking for posterity, I suppose I should link ladylahatiel's marvelous Tony/AI!Jarvis fic, "Full of Surprises," which not only provoked us to start alowprofile but got me back into beta'ing:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6

So. I'm betaing more fic these days. It feels good. I like helping folks bring good fic to the 'net.

What's weird is that I'm getting back into actually writing fic myself. I've finished a het BDSM Matrix fic I originally drafted back when the movie first came out (a woefully self-indulgent Smith/OFC piece currently being beta'd) and am plotting a lightweight Smith/Brown fic. I'm even toying with a Twins/Persephone fic and an angsty Jarvis while-Tony-is-away fic. WTF? Where did all these plot bunnies come from?
