First and foremost, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! The stockings were hung and all that, and mom is cooking breakfast as we speak. Yummo.

My first Yuletide was a smashing success, as I loved both my main story (What Happens In Vegas) and my Yuletide treat (Pink Cupcakes). Friday Night Lights and Cupid FTW!

And one last ado before the without further ado of my first 12 Days fic...2 prompt slots (conveniently, 11 and 12) still remain in my personal fic challenge. If you'd like to get in a last-minute request, act now by going here.

And now, without further ado...the fic!

Spoilers: No show-specific ones, I don't think, for either Friday Night Lights or Gossip Girl.
Summary: A small-town girl in the big city. To Chuck Bass, that's pretty much catnip.

( One St. Jude's Tie )

Calling all fic prompts! Three slots remain in my 12 Days of Crossovers fic challenge! Even if you have already requested a pairing, the challenge is now open to you again. My only completely arbitrary and possibly unfair rule is that the pairings you request now must be different than any you already posted previously.

Please go here to post your prompt!

Can someone please explain to me how it got to be December already? I don't think I'm down with having Thanksgiving so late.

Anyway, the point of this post is to issue another holiday fic challenge for myself (because Yuletide isn't stressful enough, apparently?). Last year I had the 12 Days of Veronica, which was a lot of fun. As much as I'd love to pair up our girl with any assortment of hot men, this year I've decided to change things up a little.

So, without further ado, I present the 12 Days of Crossovers.

The rules of the game...

1) Provide me with one pairing featuring characters from two different shows/fandoms. All potential romantic pairing must be het. If you would like gen or friendship fics featuring two characters of the same gender, that's also kosher, just specify it as such. If you're requesting a fic, you probably know a little about me, so please keep the requests appropriate. This is not the time to play 'stump the author' or 'let's make Gracie write Logan Echolls fic.'

2) Provide a 'number of something' prompt along with your pairing, in keeping with the '12 Days' theme. It does not have to be related to the original song (because who really wants to write about a bunch of birds?); the wackier and more fun the better. Please check which numbers have been claimed so far before adding yours to the list. Obviously, please only use numbers 1 through 12. If you are interested in giving me choices (which is awesome, BTW), please use the same number in the prompts (Ex.: Veronica Mars/Sam Winchester, 3 deadly weapons OR Rory Gilmore/Peter Petrelli, 3 hour flight delay).

3) Shows for which I have written fic include: Alias, Bones, Everwood, Firefly, Friday Night Lights, Gilmore Girls, Gossip Girl, Greek, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, The O.C., Private Practice, Supernatural, and Veronica Mars. Shows I currently watch but have never ficced for, such as NCIS, are fair game, but I make no guarantee as to quality. :)

4) At this time, each requester will only be promised one fic. If all twelve slots are not filled after an undetermined, arbitrary amount of time, I will open things up to second requests.

Fire away!

Title: From a Whisper Start
Author: angel_grace
Pairing: Charlie Crews/Rachel Seybolt
Rating: PG
Word Count: 902
Spoilers/Warnings: Minor spoilers for the episode "Jackpot"; general references to the series as a whole.
Disclaimer: Life isn't mine. Sadly, neither is Damian Lewis. All in good fun, no profit.
Author's Note: Title is from John Hiatt's "Have a Little Faith in Me." And if my math is correct, and Rachel was 9 when her family was killed, she's 21+ now, so really, it's totally not squickybadwrong. Except how maybe it is. I blame in on the fact that Damian Lewis would have chemistry with a lamp post. And on Logan Echolls going down on Hannah in season 2 of Veronica Mars.

Title: Key Decisions
Author: angel_grace
Pairing: Veronica/Eli "Weevil" Navarro
Rating: PG-13, for mild sexual situations
Spoilers: General for season 1.
Word Count: 1478
Disclaimer: Veronica Mars was created by Rob Thomas, and driven into the ground by the CW. Clearly, that's not me. All play, no money, just fun.
Summary: Future fic. Veronica has capitalized on the biggest tragedy in her life. All that's missing is someone to share it with.

( Key Decisions )

I've been somewhat bored lately, and in a fic writing mood, so I decided to open this up for prompts. Most of you know my fandoms by now, but it's probably best to give me several things to choose from, as a particular pairing or concept may not inspire me. There are certain things I don't write (Veronica/Logan, slash, etc.), so please keep that in mind as well. No guarantees on fic length--might be a drabble, might be a ficlet, might be full-blown insanity (I get wordy sometimes).

So...fire away.

Oh, and crossovers are very welcome.

Title: Legally Blonde
Author: angel_grace
Pairing: Veronica/Evan Chambers (Veronica Mars/Greek crossover)
Rating: PG, for some mild language and making out
Spoilers: General through season 3 of Veronica Mars, through season 1 of Greek
Word Count: 4936
Disclaimer: Neither VM nor Greek are mine; I just like playing with the characters for fun (and no profit).
Summary: Veronica starts law school at Cyprus-Rhodes University, where she meets an awfully charming fellow law student.
Author's Note: Greek is definitely one of my guilty pleasure shows, and way too good to be on ABC Family. I was bored enough one night to watch Jake McDorman (Evan) in Aquamarine, and he's just so pretty, I had to fic.

Title: Mercury Rising
Author: angel_grace
Pairing: Veronica/Eli "Weevil" Navarro
Rating: R, for sexual situations
Word Count: 1239
Disclaimer: Veronica Mars and all associated characters were created by Rob Thomas. Who is...not me. All fun, no profit.
Summary: Hot times, summer in the city... Veronica and Eli work through the heat of a midwestern summer. PWP with a side of schmoop. Established relationship.

( Mercury Rising )

Title: Right On Time
Author: angel_grace
Character/Pairing: Jason/Tyra
Rating: PG
Word Count: 892
Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: If they were mine, Lyla would be long gone and Street would have a lot more to do. But they're not, so I'll have to be content with playing with them.
Summary: When it comes to Jason, Tyra keeps track of certain things. Rather schmoopy.
Author's Note: After seeing a promo for season 3, FNL has pretty much eaten my brain. I've always loved the possibility of Jason/Tyra, and actually have started two other fics besides this one. We'll see how those go.

I think it's okay to post this now... Written in honor of helsinki_baby, on the occasion of her wedding...

Title: A Scent of Gardenias

Fandom: Veronica Mars
Pairing: Veronica/Weevil
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Very general through Season 3.
Summary: After all these years, Eli is still doing Veronica favors. Future fic.

( A Scent of Gardenias )

Gossip Girl and Greek and Bones, oh my. (Oh, and HIMYM too!) Monday night television is officially overwhelming.

That said, I got bored today, and decided to write a bit of fic, since I'm stalled on the Sam Winchester/Veronica story I'm working on. I wanted to write Dan/Blair, but somehow ended up writing Chuck/Blair instead. Whatever.

Title: "Not Quite Peace, Love, and Understanding"
Author: angel_grace
Pairing: Chuck/Blair
Rating: mild R, for a bit of language and some sexual situations
Disclaimer: Gossip Girl isn't mine; just playing for fun and no profit.
Spoilers: Through 1.17, "Woman on the Verge"
Summary: Blair and Chuck, together again. The back of a limo. Banter. Anger. What could it possibly lead to?

( Not Quite Peace, Love, and Understanding )

Title: Out With A Bang
Author: angel_grace
Rating: R, for a bit of language and some sexual situations
Word Count: 2202
Pairing: Veronica/Lamb
Spoilers: Through “Mars, Bars”
Disclaimer: Very much not mine, sadly.
Summary: Veronica Mars is hitting a milestone, and that means a trip home and a familiar face in unfamiliar circumstances.
Author’s Note: Birthday fic for monimala, who is hitting a milestone of her own.

( Out With a Bang )

In a previous post, I made of the mention of the fact that perhaps watching CMM on OTH would inspire me to finally remember some of my Tristan-love and finish off "Unholy Alliance." Rather to my surprise, this was met with rousing approval by more than one person.

So...I went back and read the last few chapters, just to see where I had left off. And I noticed quite a few typos, which then inspired me to go back and print out ALL of the chapters, reread, and try to find the mistakes so I can correct them on my website.

Dude. It's over 80,000 words long. And it's not even finished. That's practically book-length. And sure, some of it is crap, but even after all these years, there are parts that I genuinely like. So why the hell can't I ever find inspiration to write 80,000+ words of "real" fiction?

Okay, so I'd have to come up with my own characters. And provide backstories for them. But is that really such a terrible thing? At least then I'd be less likely to be "out of character"? :) *sigh* I know that a big part of it is discipline. I don't make the effort to write. And I don't know how to find the motivation to start. NaNo doesn't do it...so what will? Gah.
