FanFic Friday! David Earns His Nickname

davidcute

My Once Upon A Time Fanfic, Twice Upon A Dream is a sequel to one of my most popular fics, These Dreams. Both fics feature the same premise: Our heroes are sent into the dreamscape, falling in and out of each other’s dreams and the dreams of everyone in Storybrooke. It makes for one hell of a ride and we get to see our beloved characters in all sorts of situations and incarnations.

In this chapter, David, Snow and Henry are at the New York Public Library, and it’s imperative that they get their hands on a certain book. The stodgy librarian is no match for David’s secret weapon, however… Continue reading

Sky Woman is not your usual love story. Miri finds herself kidnapped from Earth, taken to a new planet, and pursued by a family of three very determined brothers.

She’s got a lot of culture shock to get through, because things work very differently on their planet. In this scene, her friend Avi (who is a transplant as well) gives her the inside scoop on the youngest brother, Kaivan…. Continue reading

Should You Write FanFiction?

Oh, Fanfiction….

Derided by many, written by far too many, read by even more.

Here’s the truth about fanfic. There’s a lot of bad fanfic out there. A lot. And the fanfic that is bad is really, really bad.

But its not all bad. There are great fics out there. There are also mediocre fics that become published works, sure (I’m looking at you, Fifty Shades…) but there really is some great reading, if you find the hidden gem among the crap. There are fabulous authors writing amazing fics just for the love of writing about characters they love.

FanFic Friday: Emma Builds A Wall, Killian Chips It Away

hookrum

This particular Once Upon A Time Fanfic chapter is from a series of one-offs I titled “You Had Me at Malfeasance.” Some of these are fun scenes I’d like to see, and some, like this one, are “missing scenes” in and around the existing story.

This chapter is set right after Emma battles her erstwhile fiance-monkey, Walsh, and realizes she hasn’t ever really been free of Storybrooke, the memories she made there….or the people she made them with.

Resource Thursday: Agents, Agents, Agents

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Finding an agent is a painful, demoralizing, frustrating thing. I had my book in hand and a spreadsheet tracking queries for nearly a year of my exasperated writer life before I won a contest that won me a book deal that finally, finally got me an agent. Until then? UUuuggghhhh.

Here are a few resources that might be a big help to you on your agent search: Continue reading
