I'm a miracle worker

Non-Trek Question

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:52:29 GMT

A question from me boss:

Is it wrong to want to read a Hawkeye/Borelli slash story from M*A*S*H when Borelli is played by Robert Alda, even if I didn't know that when I first thought they should hook up?

There don't seem to be any, which renders this moot.

Spiced Peaches XIX Published

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:30:27 GMT

Great Bird, ah can finally start talkin' about how great this issue is.

Spiced Peaches XIX has been published - the infamous Simon and Garfunkel Issue.

It can be found here:

http://spockmccoyote.tripod.com/spicedpeachesnineteen

The issue is amazin'. We had 20 different Simon and Garfunkel songs covered using 17 stories, 13 pieces o' art and 3 videos. 11 different coyotes contributed to make this issue amazin'.

We broke the proverbial bank with this one, lassies!!!!

Spiced Peaches XIX

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:21:53 GMT

A message from me boss:

I'm playing catch up in replying to submissions and putting the issue together, but I couldn't be happier. Why? Because this issue, without a doubt, kicks slash butt.

This was the strangest idea I've had in a while, but it worked! Great Bird, tomorrow's publication is going to be amazing.

Now all I have to do is finish the story I've been working on for three months. I wish I weren't such a slow writer; if I weren't, I'd have four or five stories instead of two, and they'd all be long. C'est la vie.

Oh, this will be marvelous come tomorrow.

Also, my left arm is numb.

DVD Commentary Meme

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:39:14 GMT

Stolen from Birgit, likely because I'm completely high on cold medicine.

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Most of my stories are here:
http://tempestcoyote.tripod.com/id1.html

The rest have individual links:

http://speachzine.tripod.com/fivethings/

http://speachzine.tripod.com/nowenteringaruba/

And since I don't really believe in rules due to being a pseudo-anarchist, to Hell with the word limit.

Spiced Peaches XIX - So Far

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:31:29 GMT

I'm almost finished with my first story for Spiced Peaches XIX, and considering how many ideas I have, I think I'll be able to contribute three or four. Unfortunately, neither this nor the second story I'm writing at the moment are happy. They also seem to both be in the same format, which I'll chalk up to a lack of imagination on my end.

Tis Two I Think

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:13:11 GMT

A message from me boss:

I shouldn't be awake past 2:00a.m. Not only do I miss sleeping, but then I start coming to horrid conclusions about the past year. And those conclusions are thus:

I fail at livejournal. I fail at writing. I fail at the Internet - both Yahoo and Tripod. And I wish I lived in a big house with all the other slashers in my fandom.

I had more, but I just can't post it publicly. Maybe this is what I'm failing at livejournal. I miss Saturday night chats.

Looking over this, I sound drunk. But I'm not. I simply want to be able to write again and to update my sites and I need a hug. Five. Five hugs. One for each of the TOS movies.

Spock/McCoy Haven Fifth Anniversary/Birthday

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 00:15:17 GMT

Today is the fifth birthday/anniversary of Spock/McCoy Haven and I'm just elated. The group has survived nineteen rounds, which together produced 151 stories. That doesn't count the other hundreds of stories, just written for fun. And as a result, there are about 600 S/Mc stories to be found.

It's been a great five years. Happy Birthday!

Spock/McCoyote's Den Massive Update

Mon, 02 Oct 2006 13:02:20 GMT

As you may have been aware, I've been struggling with Tripod for
control of the Den for a while now, due to a couple of problems. The
first being that the Den was so graphic-laden that I couldn't update
the pictures. The second was the the Den was just so big that Tripod
didn't like to save the changes I made. After working for a very
long time, I've managed to regain supremacy and the Den's had a semi-
massive overhaul.

First and foremost, the Den has been updated! Look here:
http://spockmccoyote.tripod.com

We officially have 576 stories on the Den! Congratulations to
Spock/McCoy for achieving those numbers! We also have 96 pictures on
the art page.

The Den looks a bit different. We no longer have a screen cap
section, because it was either screencaps or artwork, until I
increase bandwith. I thought we'd enjoy artwork more. On that same
subject, there's a seperate page for artwork now, which is in
progress. All of the pictures are there, but hopefully, soon, it
will be divided up by artist, like the story page is by author.
There's also a page for vids and other media forms, thanks to the
sudden emergence of such things in the S/Mc fandom.

The link page has been updated, and shall continue to be updated
with more artist and author pages. If you have a page and want it
linked, tell me!

Back to the stories for a second, I'm trying to make sure all of the
links work. I'm sure that most of them do, but if you find a broken
one, just make an announcement and I'll find a way to fix it.

The challenge page has been updated, but is lonely! On one side,
there are the challenges I want answered, on the other are Haven
challenges, but only Kim and Nautika put out a challenge. Please,
give us more. There's also a general Halloween challenge out there,
for stories and artwork, good until the end of the month. Indulge me!

The "How S/Mc is Plausible" page is down. The S/Mc ship manifesto
can now be found linked under my name in the story page, if you ever
get the urge for a little dry reading based on speculation and
pictures.

We still have a guestbook, on the contact page. In case anybody's
curious.

The front page will be used to announce updates, and the "Things to
Come" page is filled with what I plan to do in the near future.

I hope you all enjoy the updated Den. And if there's something
somebody wants to see, just let me know. I'm sure we can do it.

The Den's updated and my personal website is done, too. Everything's
looking peachy.

Ah Won a Golden O!

Mon, 07 Aug 2006 03:47:30 GMT

Ah'm still in shock o'er it, but apparently, Ah won a Golden O for "Damned Straight." Ironic, as it's easily the most depressin' story Ah've ever written. Downright hopeless in fact.

But, Bird Only knows, somehow it won "Best Spiced Peaches Story," and Ah'm so excited Ah need a drink. Make it a double, and green.

Viddin'

Sun, 06 Aug 2006 02:01:40 GMT

After watching a magnificent Spock/McCoy vid done by request, for which Ah'm unbelievably grateful, Ah've decided that Ah really need to learn to vid.

Really badly. There's so many slash vids to be made, and me boss promises that Ah'll be able to make some o' me and Jimmy too, as long as Ah supply her with Spock/McCoy.

Somebody teach me, please.

Spock/McCoy Convention

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 22:12:20 GMT

This is what Ah get for readin' other people's livejournals. Nikita lamented the absence of Spock/McCoy Conventions in the world. Lyra suggested she start one.

Now Ah'm in diabolical thinkin' mode. Because, an S/Mc convention might be the alpha and omega event of my life.

Ah'll have to think aboot this a wee bit more.

Realization/Apology

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 01:29:17 GMT

I'm sorry to everybody else in fandom who's so into this culture. However, I think I'm just not much of a live journal person.

I don't mean to disappoint.

I'll go back to working on the Den now.

Seventeenth Wave

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 04:58:24 GMT

Ah can't believe we've started the Seventeenth Wave. We've been responsible for hundreds of S/Mc stories, and I'm just amazed.

I feel so accomplished. And yet, I haven't written a single one of them.

How's that for arrogant?

Ah Haven't Posted in a long, long time

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 20:37:46 GMT

Ah've been readin' through live journal for the first time in a long while, and Ah'm a bit amazed at how long it's been since I posted. Ah blame how busy Ah've been lately, and how it's not lookin' like it'll be lettin' up anytime soon.

Ah've got to work on Spiced Peache IV, which is due to be posted in a little over a month. Ah've got to think of something to submit. Ah'd been leanin' toward a story about Spock and Len in high school, but that story was put on a wee bit o' hold awhile ago and Ah've yet to think of a way to finish with it. And as always, Ah'm lookin' for more submissions.

The Sixteenth Wave has begun and Ah'm excited, although Ah'm way behind on updating the Den and when it's finally up, it should have some thirty stories added, from the fifteenth wave and previously.

Ah'm lookin' for story ideas. Anything to try to spark me imagination. So if anybody has any ideas for a good S/Mc story challenge for me, please, feel free to toss it over.

Story feedback

Tue, 06 Sep 2005 11:26:33 GMT

Sometimes, I wonder if anybody actually reads what I write.

Story Compete, but in beta search

Sun, 04 Sep 2005 13:35:44 GMT

Me boss says she's finished the story she's been working on for a while, Operation: Maturity, what the Hell is that?

Ah'm in it, but not very much, so me question is when she's goin' to finish the story with me and Jimmy's relationship after retirement.

Ah've just been reminded Ah'm not paid to make commentary about her writing.

As soon as it's betaed, look forward to strange S/Mc hilarity.

Farfalla, ye should be happy with it.

Works in Progress

Wed, 24 Aug 2005 01:55:33 GMT

Another post from me boss. She really should get her own damn journal, so that I can go back to using this one as a log for me engineering and for the occassional message to Jimmy.

I'm working slowly on a lot of things, since it's two and a half months for the Fourteenth Wave, and three plus for the next Issue of Spiced Peaches. I'm having a bit of difficulty concentrating, and so if somebody wants to put in a vote from my list of what they want me to work on, it'll be doing me a great favor.

Stories in Progress:

-A BDSM story with McCoy as Dom that I told Birgit about years ago and still haven't finished.
-My e-zine Christmas story, another tearjerker
-My what if? take on the whole katra and fal-tor-pan occurrence, which leads to a reverse in situations of Spock and Len
-The origin story of the twins from "One Wore Blue and One Wore Gray." All I can say about this one is...the Enterprise is never going to be the same after it.
-Operation Maturity: What the Hell is that? I'm proud to say that it's almost finished. All I need is a closer, and the story's already met with Farfalla's stamp of approval, so hopefully I'll have it posted by next week. Bird willing.
-Pon Farr story Number 1: Spock goes into pon farr, and it's graphically described, but not in a sexy way.
-Pon Farr story Number 2: What happens to the boys after the fal-tor-pan? Pon farr's a little different, now. In a way, it could be a companion piece to the other pon farr story.
-Spock and McCoy in High school. That doesn't sound interesting, probably, but I promise it's nice, because I make Spock's parents very creepy and Len's father might well be the best person ever. Plus...Len in jeans and a college sweater.
-S/Mc and K/Sc the day before the launch of the Enterprise-B. I'd been working on and off on this and then after James Doohan's death, I'd put it away. But it needs to be done.

There's a lot of other stuff, but that's the majority of what I'm actually working on. Any suggestions for things to work on will be very accepted.

BDSM and stories and slash

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 01:21:15 GMT

I'd been working on a K/Sc death-themed story, but since Jimmy Doohan's passing, I don't feel much like tackling it, or speaking in Scotty's accent, although I should.

Instead, I picked up the remnants of a BDSM story I started years ago and promised Acidqueen I'd finish and post one of these days. One of these days became years and I have no idea what I'm doing.

That's not true. I've got a lot of ideas and outlines and a couple of poorly drawn sketches of McCoy in leather. So, I know what I'm doing, in a sense.

The problem, besides my slow writing style, is that it just doesn't read like BDSM. It doesn't read like hypno-fetishism (as though it's a surprise to anybody that a kinky story would have my favorite kink in it). It reads like...I don't know if anybody's ever read "Gentleman's Agreement", not the McCoy slash story, but the novel, anyway, it reads like that. And that's not good.

I guess I'm just having trouble mastering the dynamic between Dom and sub, from lack of practical experience. I really don't want to toss this back in the archives, since I don't know when I'll dust it out, but...I don't want it to be pathetic.

Spiced Peaches II is here...

Fri, 01 Jul 2005 14:10:43 GMT

So, July 1 has come along, and with a bunch of hard work and cooperation from a bunch of coyotes, and very little cooperation from Tripod, we have the second issue of Spiced Peaches, informally dubbed "Spiced Peaches II: The Wrath of Pears."

The issue can be found here: http://spockmccoyote.tripod.com/spicedpeachestwo

And we have 14 stories and poems, and 11 pictures. Ironically, that's what we had last time. It seems that 25 is the magic number of submissions. I think it's fantastic. I mean, if I had the money to make this a printed zine, it's would be just as fantastic, more so, because there would be no Tripod involved.

10 people contributed to this e-zine, well, nine, not including me, but I don't really count, because my story is...well...if you've ever had a fetish that burns within your mind, and then wrote about it, and then were bored, you might get what I mean.

Anyway, the contributions range from poem trilogies about desire and need to stories about S/Mc reading slash to daycar stories to K'Chap's 70 page S/Mc sequel to her last submission I've been raving about to pon farr adventures to pictures of Mirror universe kissing and hard core nudity! All and all, this is a great issue, and I say go forth and read!

Plus, the cover art is really trippy.

Three Weeks on the E-Zine

Fri, 10 Jun 2005 02:36:32 GMT

There are about three weeks to get submissions into me for the e-zine, and it's coming...slowly.

Thankfully, K'Chaps has submitted something that I spent an hour reading and...I'm liking this. Truly, and I hope that for issue Three she has a sequel or another story, because despite her love of K/S and K/Mc, she's good with S/Mc too. If you're reading this, K'Chaps, good.

Otherwise, things are where they were a week ago. I need art, I need reading material and I pledge to finish two stories for the zine myself, although already I slap a "this is ridiculous" warning on both of them.

Then, I pull an all-nighter the 30th and put it together so I can publish it the 1st.

And I do it all for free. My priorities are really, really wacked.

Step Right Up!

Fri, 03 Jun 2005 01:15:51 GMT

I found this and thought I should use it:

Ask me anything about my stories and/or writing process: inspiration, process, what the hell was I thinking, etc. No limit on questions, just ask away.

I Feel Like Simon Smith

Sun, 29 May 2005 05:05:29 GMT

A kewpie doll to whoever gets that reference.

Working on Spiced Peaches II, and I realized something. If Tripod were a person, I'd be married to it. I love Tripod and I want to kill it. Sounds like my ideal relationship. It was working, so I got a lot of work done and this e-zine is going to be absolutely ridiculous, but the content was just doubled today, so, slowly, this is coming together. Plus, we have a theme!

Meanwhile, story for Spiced Peaches is coming slowly. It's amazingly fun to write this one, and I'm happy, since previously, I've never had fun writing humor before. I'm a sick SOB and have fun writing things like "The Most Difficult Task" and "That's My Boy" and "Damned Straight", you know, happy things like death and permanant injury and unrequited physical love. So, fun with humor and happiness, I think, is definitely an improvment.

And if I can pull this off, this is going to be hilarious. Or, that's what Farfalla says. Then again, she's a botanist cat with butterfly wings.

The Den: Amazing story count. Spock/McCoy is such a great pairing and the writers and artists are absolutely amazing and I love everyone who has ever helped in the slightest bit with it.

Thirteenth Wave (thunder): I finally got the picture up and I love it. It's from the shuttle scene, the first one, where Len has to shave and he and Spock are flirting in camping gear. They look at ease with one another and they're sexy. Plus, I can't think of anything scarier than Star Trek V. About two and a half months remain for stories, so there's no rush on that.

All-Ages Site: I'm working on updating. It's almost done. Some fifty authors and artists have stuff there. Plus, it's a playground for kidlets. Or it would be. But since I'm not Jesus, I don't think I'm qualified to use a hammer.

The Great Icon Search: Who wants to make me some S/Mc icons? I can't pay you in money, but I can pay you with gratitude, and possibly sexual favors.

One last thing about Spiced Peaches, remember, if you want to contribute a story/poem/picture/manipulation/drabble/video/puppet show to the zine, just email me. It'll go in, people will rejoice and I'll be happy.

I believe it but I wonder if anybody else will...

Back on my game...sort of.

Sat, 21 May 2005 15:40:36 GMT

The Den is updated. The reason I'm back on my game is that it's updated less than 24 hours after a new story, which is what I used to be able to do back when I was in my prime.

Oh, and the official count is 421 stories plus the nine or so things I wrote that I have linked to other parts of the site.

Oh, how i love this pairing.
