i live suddenly

People on the outside think there's something magical about writing,
that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones
and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn't like that.
You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that's all there is to it.

Title: Root, Root, Root for the Home Team
Author: allthingsholy
For: juniperlane at the sheldon_penny Saturnalia 2011.
Prompt: A SportsNight AU where Sheldon & Penny are Jeremy & Natalie. Basically, they work on a cable sports show. She’s the producer’s assistant and he’s a stats-obsessed production guy. And if you haven’t watched SportsNight, well. I guess that’s enough to be getting on with.
Notes: For Meg, because of course, and thanks to slybrunette for the looking over. This is just the first bit. I’ll probably go back and write, you know, the rest of it. Later. At some point. Any and all mangling of sports trivia/knowledge is all my fault.

Title: in that winter, a day
Fandom: Downton Abbey/Harry Potter
Pairing: Edith Crawley/Neville Longbottom
Notes: For the AU prompt meme on Tumblr, for the prompt, "Downton Abbey meets Hogwarts," from dreamingofdownton. Prompt came from there; the crazy came from me. Roughly 1k words.
Summary: Edith!fic. The Crawley sisters at Hogwarts with the rest of the HP characters, which makes no sense, but alas.

Title: everywhere i go (the hard to keep track of you remix)
Author: allthingsholy
Remix of: Half-Awake in a Fake Empire (BBT/Dollhouse Crossover) by juniperlane
Rating: PG-13
Prompt: MORE PLEASE. Either how Sheldon ended up being a doll. Or more of what happens after. Or Sheldon and Penny during the Epitaph timeline. JUST MORE PLEASE. For the remix challenge at sheldon_penny.
Notes: You should really, really, really go re-read the original fic before you read this, or you will only understand about half of this remix. Sheldon/Penny, during the "Epitaph" timeline. Clocks in at a mod-approved 1500 words since, for remix-purposes, I wanted it pretty much the same length as the original fic. Thanks to slybrunette for looking over it for me. Title from Lissie/The National.

( Turn the light out, say goodnight / No thinking for a little while / Let's not try to figure out everything at once )

Title: Just Trying to Get the Good (Part 2/2)
Author: allthingsholy
Pairing: Ben/April (Parks & Rec)
Rating: R? NC-17? Let's say NC-17.
Words: ~15000 total; ~6500 this part.
Notes: Thanks so much to cypanache for looking over all of this one, two, three times and helping me work out some plot and characterization kinks. Thanks to ishie for the once-over and slybrunette for being the best cheerleader ever. Cross-posted to geegollythanks, a Ben/April shipping community that everyone should check out because these two are awesome. Title from "The Future's Nothing New" by The Alternate Routes.

( After The Bulge, Ben decides to try harder to be a normal person, a functioning member of society, something other than a waste-of-space asshole. For every step Ben tries to take forward, April’s determined to take two steps back. )

geegollythanks

This happened. I have no regrets.

If you've ever thought, wow, those two characters might be super interesting together because they both start off as really cut off from other people and slowly blossom into folks who are more open and engaged and emotionally invested in things, and those similarities are appealing to me, there's a community for you! Now, I ship Ben/Leslie and April/Andy pretty severely in canon, but canon is canon and fandom is not, and this is how I deal with that.

tl;dr, they're my new Jim/Jan, only I've turned my crazy up to 11 and this is what happens.

So if you've ever wanted Ben/April, if you've ever written Ben/April, if you've ever WANTED to write Ben/April (certain people on my flist, I am looking right at you), yeah. geegollythanks. Please come and play.

This past weekend I went to NYC with juniperlane and fujiidom and it was amazing. Seriously, seriously amazing.

Title: Within My Heart is Another Heart
Pairing: Goren/Eames
Fandom: Law & Order: Criminal Intent
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1100
For: odyle, off her prompt at Write for Relief.
Notes: Thanks to deludedvision for looking over it and being awesomely helpful. Title and excerpt from "Absence Makes the Heart" by Bob Hicok (found here).

( there's nothing frightening about the storm except when it stops )

Title: If You Call, I’ll Still Answer
Pairing: Audrey Parker, Nathan Wuornos
Fandom: Haven
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1100
For: muir_wolf, who so generously donated for help_japan and requested something for Haven with any combination of Audrey/Nathan/Duke. This is. I don't know. I'll write you ot3 porn or something when this is all over, okay?
Notes: Thanks to juniperlane for looking over it LIKE ALWAYS.
Summary: She's Special Agent Audrey Parker. Or something.

With all the fandom auctions going on to aid Japan in their earthquake relief efforts, there's a multitude of new fanworks bound to be produced, and a boatload of donations piling in. AND THAT'S AWESOME. There are all sorts of authors and artists offering their services for charity, and we give them two thumbs up and a big HELLS YEAH for that. Here, we're doing something a little different.

The idea's simple. Just comment with a list of fics you've always wanted from fandoms that get less attention, or ships and pairings that don't get as much love. If someone can write 1k words about any of your fandoms/pairings, you donate $5 to the charity of their choice. Then you get your fic.

That's it.

$5 = 1k words of your dream fic.

GROUND RULES

• Request limit: FOUR FICS. When you fill another prompt (confirmation received, story posted), you can request another. As long as you keep filling, you can keep requesting. If no one is filling your original prompts after 3 days, PM myself or juniperlane and we'll work something out.
  
  
• Fill limit: NONE. However, please be realistic. Since confirmation comes before the fill, please don't over-extend yourself. Only sign up for as many prompts as you can reasonably fill. If that's 10, that's awesome. If that's 1, THAT'S STILL AWESOME. Also, you do not have to submit requests to sign up to fill prompts.
  
  
• Donation limit: NONE. Baseline donation is $5/1k words. If you can donate more, that's awesome, but you're absolutely under no obligation to do so. A higher donation does not mean you get more fic, though if your writer wants to write more, they're obviously welcome to do so.
  
  
• FILL DEADLINE: APRIL 10, 2011 We're running on the same schedule as help_japan, so the auction will close on March 26th, with all fills to be finished and posted no later than 2 weeks after that, 04/10/11. If there are extenuating circumstances, talk to your prompter and work something out. If you flake out after the donation's been made, dogs will chase after you in the streets. (See ETA4 below for further deadline details.)
  
  
• Approved charities: We're going to completely bogart help_japan's list (found here), but if the person filling your prompt has a specific request, please work it out with them.
  
  
• This is my personal journal, and while I love you all and don't want to squash your squee, please keep the threads clear and specific to bidding. I reserve the right to delete lonely or misplaced comments. If you think a prompt is awesome, feel free to let that person know via their personal journal.
  
  
• If you have any other questions, ask here.
  

Lastly: it's impossible for us to completely enforce the rules here. Once a donation's made, we can't crawl through the tubes and slap a writer who doesn't fill their prompt. So please: don't be dicks. Claim what you can write, fill what you claim, and have fun and raise a bunch of money for people who need it.


ETA1: Pending donation confirmations, the tally right now stands at $890. Please remember to confirm donations here or at the confirmation thread and THANKS SO MUCH FOR PARTICIPATING. Great job, guys!

ETA2: I've set up a WFR Donation Confirmation Page where writers/artists can let us know when they've received confirmation from their prompter. Or please comment in your claims thread and let us know when you've received donation confirmation. There will be another post closer to the fill deadline where prompters can notify us if claims have not been filled as of April 10.

ETA3: Be sure to check out the WRF Finished Works Archive to see all the awesome fanworks people have been producing!
Writers/Artists, don't forget to link to your works once they're finished so we can add to the list!

ETA4: End date for this fundraiser is 3/26. Because bidding at help_japan will continue until 3/31, threads will be kept open at the discretion of the prompters. If you're interested in filling a prompt, contact the prompter to see if they're still interested in donating for your work.


ETA5: Because ishie is a BAMF, she put together a list of all unclaimed prompts, organized by fandom. Check it out at her journal.


PROMPT CODE:
Use the code below for each of your prompts. All prompts in one comment, please, with the requested fandoms in the title of your comment:
<B>Fandom:</b> <B>Pairing:</b> <B>Prompt:</b> <B>Preferred Rating:</b> <B>Donation:</b> $5

WRITE FOR RELIEF IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED. Posting deadline was April 10, so prompters, if you haven't gotten your fills, please check this post for further details/assistance.
