My fics will be posted with one of the following ratings: all, teen (for mature themes) or adult (for graphic representations of mature themes, i.e. violence, sex...)
As well as this I will also post warnings for potentially triggering topics - I have chosen to place these under the heading 'contains' - as one person's warning is another person's kink and I have no desire to put any value judgement on these topics. What I list under the 'contains' topic will vary as I will also use it to list bits and pieces of things that appear in the fic - for example, schmoop is a possibility. I will always list the following topics when they appear in a fic:
( Cut for list )
I may clarify these terms for each particular fic - for example I may choose to highlight when it is a canon event or if it is a reference rather than an in-story depiction.
I'm doing this to enable people to browse my fics safely and comfortably - for those who do not want to do this, the 'contain's' label is obscured unless highlighted. I would also like to note that I'm human - I may make mistakes and I'm incredibly sorry about that - if there is something that you feel I should have warned for and haven't or you would like further information on any of the labels on a fic please contact me at: rhianwatts @ gmail . com
Thanks

So you should have recieved my requests by now and I hope they've not caused you to throw yourself into a pit wailing and rending your clothes. Don't panic and if all else fails - reach for your towel (you did remember to bring a towel, didn't you?). Ok - enough, enough. I hope that something I've suggested will give you a grain of inspiration, but if not don't worry - I love surprises as well - and what I'd really love is for you to write something that makes you happy and is fun for you - don't worry too much about me.
OK - so in case it helps some of the things I love - bittersweet sad stories, fluffy stories, fun, adventures, gangs, friends, silliness, AUs, queer themes, extra moments, character moments, post-canon, old 'married-couple' friendship bickering, dreamers and fantasists, manipulative characters with secret soft spots, timeline crossing, awesome women, mixed up narratives, found families, what ifs. Genfic, slashfic, femmeslashfic and hetfic are all loved - though I must admit recently my heart has belonged to poly-relationships where everyone loves each other, even if in different ways.
Things I'd prefer not to have - graphic sex/smut, character bashing, woman/queer characters dieing.
But mostly, anything goes.
I hope you have fun - and please feel free to quiz me anonymously here if you'd like more info on anything or through the yuletide mods.
You're awesome.

Or how I've been living in Russian world for the last few weeks at the RSC (ok, I did talk about that a bit) where wonderful Russian playwrights made me cry and reminded me of the Welsh and how watching a Russian B-Boy crew was absolutely incredible and this weekend was filled with play readings in tiny rooms with familiar actors (yesterday alone I spotted Danny Holden, Foon Van Hoff/The Mayor, the head Cannibal from Countryside (which was a little terrifying ) and the new Robb Stark (I think he'll be good)).
Or how when I'm not at the RSC I've been mainlining the first seasons of Dollhouse, Pushing Daisies and the Sarah Connor Chronicles. :D :D
Or I could talk about work - and how I have awesome days and horrible days and that both sort of suck - because I'm feeling worn away by the whole thing but I really don't want to leave Stratford. Or I could talk about the many weird, weird things that happen in a hotel regularly but I fear that might get me into trouble so instead I just write them down in stories.
Or there's still that really long post I need to write about the portrayal of LGBT characters in Doctor Who and Torchwood.
Instead though I'm just posting that everyone should go and join in
oxoniensis awesome Fall Fandom Free For All. SO. MUCH. FUN.I go to the RSC fairly frequently, a couple of times a month if I can afford it - you might say that I'm a bit of a junkie - but I don't often get round to jotting down my ideas about what I've seen (though I think there's probably a post coming up about this season at the end of September). On Monday though I went to see the company's newly commissioned play by Mikhail and Vyacheslav Durmenkov, The Drunks. As I said on Twitter, every now and then I see something I almost don't want to share with anyone else because it speaks to me - I connect with it - in an incredibly personal way. This was one of those times, so I thought I'd like to try and get some of my thoughts down a little more lucidly.
Firstly, I think I should admit that I'm not sure this is a play that everyone will enjoy. It operates on a personal level and the ideas expressed as well as the highly stylised manner in which it is presented will either work for you or it won't. The central themes of identity, power and control and the lack of those things resonated with me. It is the individualisation of these ideas that interest me. If this was a simple presentation of a power struggle within a Russian town, I would not be as fascinated.

Title: The Once and Future Captain
Fandom: Star Trek Reboot/Merlin
Characters/Pairings: Pretty much everyone I could think of – though the focus is definitely on Kirk, Spock, Arthur and Merlin – with smidgeons of coupledom encompassing a variety of sexualities
Rating: All
Contains: (skip) Magical Mishaps and Transporter Malfunctions, Body Swap, The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of Moaning, Blind Panic and Ranting, Mass Confusion, Frustrated Flirting, Merlin is Clever, Arthur is Sneaky, Kirk is Reckless, Spock is Not Amused, Battles, Kissage of Dubious Consent,
Length: 15,700
Notes: So this was the other story I was working on when I wrote The Tempest, which now strikes me as a little bit odd - as they're pretty different. This one was spawned when a couple of people mentioned how Merlin and Arthur are a lot like Kirk and Spock (including, strangely, my book on Arthurian Legend) - I spent a couple of days trying to figure out how a cross-over would work and then wrote the whole plot out in lolspeak - which pretty much sums up the seriousness of this story. Anyway I started off thinking that Arthur=Kirk and Merlin=Spock, which is sort of true, but then I realised in my head at least that personality wise Kirk was a lot more like Merlin and this sort of went from there.

Summary: Arthur has a problem – he’s suddenly found himself trapped in the body of the captain of a starship about to be dragged into battle, he’s so out of his depth he’s probably already drowned and to make matters worse this captain, Kirk, is probably leaving a trail of destruction across Camelot – there’s only one thing he’s certain of. It’s all Merlin’s fault. Kirk on the other hand is planning to have the time of his life.

Fandom: Merlin
Characters/Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: Teen
Contains: (skip) Shakespearian Quotations, Stories and Memories, A Plague, Implied Character Death, Boys Being Stupid, Fire, A Fight, A Battle, Loss and A Storm
Length: 8000 words
Notes: This idea dropped into my head whilst I was watching The Tempest at the RSC – even though really Prospero and Ariel are not much like Arthur and Merlin. I didn’t think much more about it but then when I was writing a Merlin/Star Trek crossover (anyone have any good ideas for titles for that?) part of this snuck in even though it didn’t fit. So I took it out and thought of that moment in The Tempest again and wrote this. Another in a long line of Arthur finding out about Merlin’s magic stories. It’s sort of morphed and expanded and I enjoyed having an excuse to look at memories and their power – but I’ve decided I better post it now as every time I edit it I end up adding reams.

Summary: “There was a plague,” Merlin tells them, “And there was a battle. And there was a storm. But first there was a lie. No. There were many lies.” Merlin tells the tale of how Arthur discovered his magic.

So, I've not posted about Children of Earth since the first day - partly because I was busy, partly because I was enjoying the squee, partly because I was heartbroken. And to be honest, I think I'm done with Torchwood now. But this post was brewing. I've tried to take a step back and I've tried to be coherent - but I'm not sure it worked. So here are the top ten things I hate about that thing that happened in episode 4 (with spoilers right up until the end):

imochan's awesome Remus/Sirius love post - so much love, so much cool stuff. Anyway I missed the vast majority of the heydey of puppy shipping as I was away from fandom at the time and looking back I realised I only have one Remus/Sirius drawing which is terribly drawn, which makes me sad (as whatever my post Deathly Hallows feelings) I love the ship. So I decided I had to change it - so here is a sketchy quickly drawn pic of a balmy summer day - please ignore the horrid anatomy (lets pretend it's the weird angle or something). Loves everyone. :D

More horribly late at night quick-fic (i.e. riddled with mistakes) - but I rewatched the movie last night and have been reading some awesome fic and I wanted to play. So yep, no point to this story, it goes nowhere - but I had fun writing it. Yay.

tardis_bigbang fic last week and have been focused mainly on the editing since, but as it's gone off to be beta'd, I had a free evening and decided to write something relaxing - anyhow, this fic has been rattling around my head for ages and it was a relief just to get it out there - written in about three hours, still riddled with mistakes and I'm not really sure why it came out the way it did, but I don't want to get bogged down with it so I thought I'd just post it.WARNINGS - It is my aim to post warnings for major triggers on all my fics - however, as I am aware not everyone wishes to see warnings, I have placed them underneath the grey block below, to see the text, please highlight.

So there you go. Hope that wasn't too boring. If anyone has any recommendations for good Mickey or Jake (or both) vids - I'm in the mood for one. Also is there a 'Heroes Girls are Awesome' vid out there? Possibly with a side order of 'So why do you keep killing them?"
Also I don't suppose there's a place I could abandon a vid plot bunny - as I have no capability of actually making this thing and it's praying on my mind.
