Found this in gdocs and figured I might as well post it.

THE MAL MEME
@LJ for convenience

Mallorie Cobb will kick your damn face in if you don't post and fill prompts about her. You know this to be true.

Mallorie Cobb wants ALL UR FANWORKS. Prompt for fic, art, meta, mixes or anything else you can think of. Likewise, fill as your heart and creative inclinations dictate. Prompt gen, het, femslash, genderswap, crossovers, crack, angst and every other thing you want.

* MAKE MAL HAPPY, PLEASE SPREAD NEWS OF THIS GLORIOUS MEME *

I'm so out of touch with everything, lord. This is a busybusy month for me and everything but my most important commitments is apparently subject to slack.

Still, I've got some fandom goings on, which I'm squeezing between dress fittings, brawls with provincial bureaucrats and applying for things.

The first thing is the podfic project at SPN Femslash Exchange, which I am not involved in, but am excited about nonetheless. Since I wrote a fic for the exchange last year, I might be seeing a podfic adaptation of one of my stories for the first time. This is unspeakably cool and I'm eager to listen to all the podfics when they're done.

The second thing, is that I'm actually posting a story. MY GOD, it has been a while. It's on the Inception meme and so anon, but that's really kind of freeing. Not that I have a large audience for my writing as it is, but being completely anon is... relaxing. I've also started writing - I am so sad, really - an Inception/Supernatural crossover. Kind of. No Winchesters or angels exactly, but perhaps some Bela, Tamara, Ellen or Rufus. It's for another meme request, because I apparently have no ideas of my own these days.

On that note, I signed up for an Original Fic Bingo card, because original fiction is where I want to concentrate more of my energy these days. Just exercising those muscles, and getting into the habit of submitting things will, I think, be good for me, regardless of the quality of the stories, or of the rejection slips. I recently realized that hey, if I want something to happen, I need to take actual, concrete steps toward my goals (o rly?).

So I'm writing Inception fic. Not sure if I'll be finishing and posting any stories, but I'm having fun with the characters and the universe.

Things I appreciate about Inception:

1) It's a closed canon. Which means that I have all the canon in my hands, with no surprises coming down the pike.

2) The characters lead very different lives. Which means that one can credibly write in a variety of genres, and with a variety of styles.

3) The setup provides for realistic stories AND for fantastical ones. Which means again, that one can write all sorts of different things, and they'll still feel right.

4) The central romance is powerful and affecting, but one half of the relationship is so obliquely drawn that there are miles yet to explore. Which means that, god damn, there's so much potential for amazing Mal fic.
