schneefinkI'm back in Vienna and there's almost no snow left :( On the positive side, I finally have a good bed again.
Yuletide reveals! It was my first time participating in Yuletide and I wrote two stories, I call it a success.
Losing Down (4279 words) by schneefink for lightgetsin
Fandom: Hockey RPF
Rating: General Audiences
Characters: Simon Despres, Scott Harrington, Beau Bennett, Pittsburgh Penguins Ensemble
Summary: It's Simon's sixth training camp in Pittsburgh.
This was my main assignment. The prompt was basically "baby Pens gen" and that gave me a lot to work with. At first I wanted to write something about the "usual suspects", Beau and Borts and Olli and Kappy, but while doing research I was reminded about Simon Despres and I just had to write about him. He's so interesting! I'm really happy he's having a good season. If he gets traded it better be for a fantastic return.
I did a lot of research to write this. The only detail I changed deliberately was putting Beau and Simon on the same practice unit during camp, but I'm pretty sure nobody noticed ^^ The fic probably could have used another beta step, but at one point I just wanted to finish it because I was getting nervous about the deadline and I'm pretty sure I was never going to be perfectly satisfied. I'm mostly happy with it.
The easiest thing about this story was the title, that almost never happens to me.
Make the Night a Little Less Loud (1165 words) by schneefink for yabamena
Fandom: The Maze Runner (2014)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Thomas (Maze Runner), Minho (Maze Runner)
Summary: Thomas and Minho spend a night in the Maze together.
A treat I wrote mostly spontaneously after I watched the movie. I enjoyed the writing process a lot because it wasn't hard :)
The Capitals won the Winter Classic against the Hawks! \o/ On a PPG on a weak call, but whatever. The Hawks are a very good team with two recent Cups, they've been lucky enough. They had more PPs anyway including a long 5-on-3.
