This list will keep growing and the layouts keep changing, so I will probably keep on changing the text here. Life is all about change after all.




A Ranch In Montana
Stargate Atlantis AU. Post Season 3 – The Return and there is no going back to Atlantis.

Articles
The article I wrote for the magazine I work for.

Drabbles and ficlets
I write over at writing_game on lj - here they are. Some other ficlets and drabbles too.
Yorick
Just a quick welcome to myself :)

This here will have my fics and articles from over on my LJ fic journal. My personal journal is the same as the one over on LJ if you want to read about those things as well. This will definitely be my cross-post place for LJ & DW.

The personal stuff... maybe, maybe not. I haven't decided. Seems I got two invite codes, so I decided to duplicate things for both journs instead.

I used only use a setting of something like 200 words to pick out - but it was fun doing it.
Yorick
I used to do a lot of writing over at [community profile] writing_game and I will probably get back into it sometime soon.

Here's a mega post of some I have done to date.

Mostly about two original characters in the Star Trek universe.

Action Couriers - I wrote this article for the magazine I work for when I travelled down to Cape Town last year to deliver a bunch of booklets that the couriers couldn't have there on time.

I've been wondering if these are drabbles or ficlets. They are all under 200 words. Cross-posted from my other journal from when I didn't have this one.

A Ranch In Montana
Stargate Atlantis AU. Post Season 3 – The Return and there is no going back to Atlantis.

I originally started writing this series because I needed a prompt/inspiration for a challenge I signed up for. But since [livejournal.com profile] tella2006   had quite a good idea of what she wanted, I continued to write this. My progress bar will indicate how much of the next chapter is already written.

Big Sky Country: John disappears and Rodney finds refuge in Montana on a ranch.

I got this from [personal profile] mysehnsucht , who found it on Stumbleupon and had to share:

Eight rules for writing fiction:
  1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
  2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
  3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
  4. Every sentence must do one of two things — reveal character or advance the action.
  5. Start as close to the end as possible.
  6. Be a sadist. Now matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
  7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
  8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

Guess I should follow a few of them :)

[info]strangevisitor7 and I had a few email exchanges a few weeks back and she offered to help me with my writing and such. So I'm going to repost all my posted chapters so far with changed tenses and a few tweaks in story structure. So it will be a while longer before I post a new chapter. Hope you like it :)

I'm sorry

I am most sorry for not posting anything in so long - real life sucks big time and the next chapter is with the betas and the one after that is in progress.

Also, I'm reworking the completed ones to change their tense from present to past - some advice I got :)

So, something soon, I promise.

This was originally for [personal profile] skidmo_fic  's song lyrics challenge, but I've since tweaked it and will be reposting everything all over. Check the master list for the new links.
