Another Merry Christmas

Challenge: From Liz at LOTS, who wanted a Christmas story that:

1. was a first for the two lovers
2. involved tasting a new food that one of the lovers had never tasted and the other wants to share (to be done in an unique way … use imagination)
3. shows them kissing under some mistletoe
4. includes a special present, not necessarily a material item.

Complete Nonsense

Writing Exercise: Write with a partner, taking turns writing a small part of a short story. Do not show each other what you have written, until the end of the exercise. Once you have completed a small section, inform your partner of the last word written and take it up from there.

Notes: Marie and I were bored one day and wanting to write, so we decided to try our hand at a little writing exercise. It came out rather weird and really made no sense at all, but it made for an interesting experiment.

Marie = bolded sections

Kate = non-bolded sections

A Romantic Dining Experience

Synopsis: Just as the title says – a romantic dining experience. ; )

Rating/Codes:

• PG-13
• Star Trek: Voyager
• J/7
• PWP

Notes: I wrote this in April of 2004. I was waiting around for my dear friend Alex to turn up so we could go somewhere and this was how I killed the time. Never went back and edited, so I hope it’s not too horrendous.

Thanks: To Alex for being late, when I was on time for once!

Repercussions

Synopsis: Kathryn and Seven’s relationship is in jeopardy due to a secret Kathryn has been keeping.

Challenge: Susan (my housemate at the time) issued this challenge:

• Have the first words Seven says be “Oh, Miss, what a thing to do!”
• Have Janeway say somewhere within the story, “You broke my heart.”

Both lines originally come from the fabulous lesbian themed mini-series ‘Tipping the Velvet’.

Rating/Codes:

• PG-13
• Star Trek: Voyager
• J/7
• Angst

Notes: This was written in November 2003. After some INTENSE beta-ing, I spent some time editing it, got discouraged, edited again … finally, I decided it was never going to be what I wanted it to be and I should just stop being an obsessive perfectionist and post it! Re-reading it now, it’s so … passe. Well, to me it is, having going over and gover it. I hope it doesn’t seem that way to everyone else.

Thanks: To Susan for the challenge.

To Elize for the beta-ing and encouragement.

To Alex and Jun for their mania, reading and encouragment.

To K for everyting – both to do with this story and to do with my life. I love you.

A Different Type of Truth

Synopsis: Voyager’s circumstances have changed and therefore so have Janeway’s. She and Seven find that when the truth is too painful, lies may be another way of telling how they feel.

Challenge: To myself from myself – write an angst-y story with an up-in-the-air sort of ending.

Rating/Codes:

• PG-13
• Star Trek: Voyager
• J/7
• Angst

Notes: I wrote this story in one sitting in early November, 2004.

Thanks: To Angelina – I read her story, Cherry Deluxe and, inspired, decided it was time I tried my hand at a properly angst-y story, one that didn’t necessarily have the quirky ending I usually do. I don’t know if I managed it though.

To my beautiful partner and beta-reader, K!
