OK, old fic, nothing new to see here, move along. I'm just reposting some fic to my LJ done for the aos_challenge awhile ago so I can link elsewhere. Hey, it makes sense to me.

Title: Comfort
Author: asta77
Characters: Archie/Horatio
Rating: NC-17 to be safe
Disclaimers: Horatio Hornblower belongs to the Forester estate. I’m not sure who Archie belongs to. Sadly, not me.
Challenge Prompt: ‘Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down’ / Queues
Author’s Note: Many thanks to my lovely beta, k_julia. Any mistakes are all mine because I didn’t have the time to give this to her for a second look. And, oops, missed the bit about keeping fics around 1000 words. This is actually short for me. ;)

Because I am the Queen of Procrastination and I also got slammed by work this week, I managed to post my fic, Comfort, over at aos_challenge on the very last possible day. I would have liked to have worked on it a bit more, but if I didn't post it now I don't know when it would have gotten done to my satisfaction. Funny thing is, I actually had this idea months ago and then when the challenge was announced, queues, it gave me an incentive to start typing something up. As much as I hate deadlines, they do also help to motivate me.

OK, I just discovered that the new season/series of Doctor Who debutes tomorrow night. Am I the only one who was unaware of this? With any luck it will fill the void left by BSG and Stargate since SciFi decided to start the latter series over from the beginning instead of airing Season 7. Grrrrr.

For those people I haven't gotten back to on my last post and for bop_radar and beccatoria whose awesome BSG meta I have yet to comment on, I will try to catch up tomorrow. After I get home from work. Yes, I have to work tomorrow. Not That I'm Bitter.

Current Mood: busy

After making many threats promises, I have finally produced a Hornblower fic. One that was a year in the making. See, I had this idea back in November of 2005. At the time, I had written a grand total of one fic (my Lee/Laura Brig Fic!). That story, though relatively short, had take taken months to produce, I had no idea how it would be received, and I was still a bit shaky on my own abilities. But a year has passed, I've written more, feel more confidant, and I found that I was feeling brave enough to venture outside the safety net of the BSG fandom. Of course, it helps that Jamie features prominently in HH fandom as well. :) So I revisted my old idea and, suprisingly to me, I did not struggle too much in writing this. If not for work and holiday craziness, I probably could have completed it sooner. Now maybe I can try tackling one of my novel length HH ideas. ;-)


Title: Merry Christmas, Mr. Hornblower
Author: Asta77
Pairing: Archie/Horatio
Rating: G by my standards, but I’ll say PG to be safe
Disclaimer: All characters are the property of the Forester estate, but I like A&E’s version better. ;)
Summary: Set sometime after The Wrong War. Archie and Horatio are spending their leave at Archie’s sister’s home.
Notes: Thanks to k_julia who rocks betaing in any fandom and also thanks to my HH authority romanticalgirl. You two worked very well together. :) A small disclaimer - ideally, I would have had one more pass taken with a beta, but given general holiday business and the fact I really needed to get this posted before Christmas, there may be a comma or three missed. Forgive me. =)

( Merry Christmas, Mr. Hornblower )
