Hi guys! I don’t know if anyone is interested, but here is a glimpse inside the ridiculousness of my creative process – the original outline of “Blind/Dates” as spewed out over gchat to my LJ partner and RL bff Captain T. As you can see, A) some changes occurred between this outline and the finished product, but for the most part, it’s disturbingly accurate, and B) the “O_o” face is VERY important to my writing process. In fact, the original file name for “Blind/Dates” was “The O_o story.doc.” Enjoy!

( “Blind/Dates” original gchat outline )

The Idea: The Call Center AU aka The One Where They Fall In Love Without Ever Seeing Each Other

The Fandom: American Idol Season 8 RPF of a Kradam AU variety

The Summary: Kris is working in Arkansas at the contact center for an upscale department store named Orian's, which sells mostly upper-midscale to upscale designer clothes and accessories.  Basically, he gets a lot of calls from people who don't want to have to pay the $6 shipping charge on their $1,200 clutch purse.  *sigh*  ( Read more... )

The Idea: Chuck and Bryce Get Frat-Married


The Fandom: Chuck, Chuck/Bryce, pre-series.  If you don't know Chuck, short version: Chuck and Bryce are roommates and best friends at Stanford and Chuck is an awkward adorable nerd and Bryce is a jock/nerd hybrid played by Neal from White Collar.  Yay!


The Summary: Pre-series, at Stanford, Bryce is rushing Delta Gamma Phi and has persuaded Chuck to join him.  As part of the ridiculous rush activities, the pledges who do poorly at one of the "challenges" get paired up with more successful pledges as their "wives," with the idea that the "wives" will do menial and domestic tasks for their counterpart for two weeks.  (I could not make this stuff up if I tried, guys. O_o)  ( Read more... )

Hi y'all!

I'm going to be taking a brief break from writing fic to work on an original project - I'll probably start back up again when the second round of the help_haiti auction begins.  I have not died or left fandom, and I will be back!  I'll do my best to entertain you in the meantime with extras and deleted scenes from my existing stories, as well as something I'm calling Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Fic Ideas I Have Had.  Thanks for all your kind comments, and for reading!

Title: Jack of Diamonds
Author: Deastar
Word Count: 8,500
Rating: R
Pairing: Burke/Caffrey
Warnings: off-screen non-con as a major focus of story, may be triggery
Summary: “I’m willing to give Caffrey the benefit of the doubt on this one,” Agent Jezewski says, as NYPD secures the scene and techs pour into the room, congregating around the body. “But there’s a process, Burke. You know that.”
Notes: Written before, and thoroughly Jossed by, episode 1x7 “Free Fall.” A huge thank you to my fantastic betas, laulan and anevivi, who pointed out, among many other valuable things, that people other than exotic dancers don’t usually happen to carry around $350 in small bills. All remaining factual inaccuracies are totally my fault and, in some cases, intentionally wrong to serve the purposes of the narrative.

Title: Blind/Dates
Author: Deastar
Word Count: 7,500
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Burke/Caffrey
Warnings: humor, silliness, fluff
Summary: Maybe if Neal meets a nice, law-abiding, reliable girl, he’ll stop giving Peter heart attacks and making the entire New York law enforcement establishment so damn nervous.
Notes: This fic is the last part of a set of five stories based on classic slash clichés – in this case, matchmaker/yenta, with two bonus clichés! It was written before 1x7 “Free Fall” aired. The concept of an interdepartmental law-enforcement sports match is shamelessly stolen from rageprufrock’s wonderful SGA fic Hindsight. Copious thanks go to my two wonderful betas, anevivi and laulan – any remaining mistakes are completely my fault.

Hi, guys - A lot of you probably already know this, but there's a great fandom charity auction going on over at help_haiti where you can bid on fic, art, graphics, vids, and miscellaneous cool things by fantastic writers and artists.  Whether you offer your talents or bid on others, you help raise money for relief efforts in Haiti.  Thanks for tuning in!

Title: Pay Grade
Author: Deastar
Word Count: 3,500
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Burke/Caffrey
Warnings: silliness
Summary: “Oh, don’t mind me,” Neal says. “I’m just basking in the irony over here.”
Notes: This fic is part of a set of five stories based on classic slash clichés – in this case, “stuck together.” This fic was written before episode 1x7 “Free Fall” aired. The fantastic laulan gave me the idea for this, and then was kind enough to beta it for me.

Title: Just Like in the Movies
Author: Deastar
Word Count: 2,300
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Burke/Caffrey
Warnings: none
Summary: Neal affects shock and hurt. “Ridiculous? Peter, that’s our love story, and every word of it is true!”
Notes: To make stupid writing mistakes is human; to have a great beta, divine. I learned that from the extremely forgiving and helpful laulan. This fic is part of a set of five stories based on classic slash clichés – in this case, pretending to be a couple! This fic was written before 1x7 “Free Fall” aired.

Author: Deastar
Word Count: 1,200
Rating: PG
Pairing: Burke/Caffrey
Warnings: schmoop, fluff
Summary: There’s only one person in Peter’s life who would break into his house in the middle of the afternoon on the day before Christmas Eve to leave him a piece of expensive furniture.
Notes: Unbetaed because I wanted it posted in the season – caveat lector. Also, the working title for this fic was “A Very White Collar Christmas.” YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Title: Former American Idols Arrested in Drug-Fueled Snow-Shoveling, Break-Dancing Rampage
Author: Deastar
Rating: PG
Pairing: Adam/Kris
Word Count: 2,500
Warnings: Fluff, X-treme Snow-Shoveling, schmoop
Summary: “Adam, can I please remind you that going on vacation in Iowa in December was your crazy idea in the first place?”
Notes: Snow-shoveling sucks, but imagining Kris and Adam shoveling instead of me makes it better. Also, Iowa rocks. Y’all should come visit. Just not in the winter. Beta-read by preromantics aka The Artist Formerly Known As colorofsmoke, to whom I am very grateful!

Title: Confidence Man
Author: Deastar
Word Count: about 3,500
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Burke/Caffrey
Warnings: Explicit sex, angst, dub-con to the degree that all sex pollen fic is dub-con
Summary: Neal takes a deep breath, puts his hand on the doorknob, and puts on his face for one of the biggest con jobs he’s ever pulled.
Notes: What would I do without my extremely talented beta reader, laulan? This fic is part of a set of five stories based on classic slash clichés – in this case, sex pollen. This fic was written before 1x7 “Free Fall” aired.

Title: Before the Morning Watch: One Vision and Five Futures
Author: Deastar
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 19,000 (all parts)
Summary: Morgana tells Merlin about waking up from a dream of a future in which she’s pregnant. Each of the five parts posits a different father for Morgana’s child, and the future that goes along with that possibility.
Warnings: dark, angst, brief creepy incest vibes, character death, off-screen non-con, explicit sex
Pairings include: Morgana/Gwen, Morgana/Merlin, Morgana/Lancelot, Morgana/Arthur, brief Morgana/Uther, background Gwen/Lancelot, Gwen/Arthur, Arthur/Merlin
Notes: All titles yanked from T.S. Eliot’s “Four Quartets.” Other titles I considered (mostly while very sleep-deprived) included “Terrible Things Happened to Women in the Middle Ages,” “Three Parts Morgana with a Sword, Two Parts Morgana Without a Sword,” and “Five Ways Morgana LeFay Got Knocked Up.” You have been warned.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to my three wonderful betas: arlad , anevivi and regonym !

Title: How Many Roads? or, 27 Times Jim Kirk Hit On Nyota Uhura

Pairing(s): Kirk/Uhura, sort of, background Spock/Uhura
Rating: R for brief sex and… Jim Kirk?
Word Count: 9000
Summary: After the bar fight, Nyota thinks to herself that if this is what being hit on by Jim Kirk leads to, she’s very glad she’s never going to have to see him again.
Warnings: Um… bad pick-up lines?
Notes: I wrote this fic because I love Uhura, and felt bad that she got such a raw deal in my previous Kirk/Spock fic. Why I thought subjecting her to Jim’s pick-up lines 27 times would be an improvement, I really couldn’t say. A huge thank you to my amazing volunteer betas,arlad, singingintime, and danahid!
