I have the internets! I am hopeful this means a return to my fannish life, since I've already been posting more often. It definitely means more time for replying to email and comments. Of course, as soon as I get the internets, I am off traveling for the weekend for a last minute holiday party. Timing, what?

I think I'll finish the first draft of my Yuletide assignment this weekend, too, which means more time for December Drabbles. Remember, you can leave prompts here on DW and here on LJ. I have stories started, and now that I can do the research I need to do for them, I hope to finish some soon. I love December Drabbles. (Even when they start to spin out into a giant crossover universe. Oh, Teen Wolf/Ginger Snaps, stop being so awesome. I will write a drabble in you, probably even a ficlet, but I am not writing 100k+ for you. No.)

Having the internets means I can update my icons, too. It is definitely time for that!

Dudes, my fannish output has been horrible this year. Not only have I not been writing fic, but I just flat haven't been here (where "here" isn't just LJ and DW, but any place I participate in fandom). Here's hoping I can do a writing push in the last few months of the year.

I know it is only September, but I'll need all the time I can get, so here's this year's December Drabble request post (which I will link to closer to December, too).

If you'd like a drabble or ficlet to be posted in December (er, ideally), please leave a prompt on this post. Fandom, characters, any details you'd like to see, whatever, this is super casual. (Also, I keep a document of the prompts I haven't yet filled from other years, but if you want to repeat a prompt, that's cool too.) I have a ton of fun doing this each year, so thank you for giving me prompts.

Here are the fandoms I've written in before, but feel free to request a fandom not listed, I love trying new fandoms (and will sometimes even write for source material I haven't experienced): (1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel (2) The Lost Boys (3) The Mighty Ducks (4) X-Men movieverse (5) Harry Potter movieverse and bookverse (6) Ultimate X-Men (7) The Fast and the Furious series (8) Pitch Black/The Chronicles of Riddick (9) Mean Girls (10) Bend It Like Beckham (11) Lost (12) Firefly/Serenity (13) Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (14) Supernatural (15) Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic (16) Dog Soldiers (17) Dead Witch Walking (18) The Baby-Sitters Club/California Diaries (19) Full House (20) Blue Crush (21) Girlfight (22) Resident Evil (23) Dawson's Creek (24) Bring It On (25) The Breed (26) Making Out (27) Lilo & Stitch (28) Stick It (29) She's the Man (30) One Tree Hill (31) Pirates of the Caribbean (32) Twilight (33) Jurassic Park (34) Southern Vampire series (35) Roseanne (36) Sons of Anarchy (37) Never Cry Werewolf (38) Scooby Doo Where Are You?/Scooby Doo on Zombie Island (39) Practical Magic (40) fairy tales (Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Hansel & Gretel) (41) Drive-By Truckers RPF Space AU (42) Make It or Break It (43) A Dustland Fairytale (music video) (44) Sparrow Hill Road (45) Pretty Little Liars (46) Glee (47) Ginger Snaps (48) Cursed (49) Pioneer Trail (50) Oregon Trail (51) Echo Bazaar (52) Iron Man movieverse (53) Avengers movieverse

Last year, when talking about Yuletide, I said this: I still want a story about the Bing vampire commercial, but I'm not sure I want it enough to request it for Yuletide. Same for Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? Oh, Microsoft, one more thing and I can have a Microsoft Yuletide. Delightful.

Well, I really could have a Microsoft Yuletide now, with the Bing commercial about the guy visiting Hawaii (I couldn't care less about him, but some of the other characters would be awesome) and the IE 8 commercial with the Avengers. (Tony Stark appearing in a Microsoft ad, that's a story I want to read.)

Oh, Yuletide, I WANT TO BE WRITING YOU RIGHT NOW.

I need to find a new Yuletide icon.

Title: After
Author: escritoireazul
Written for: das_hydra for December Drabbles. Uh, in 2008, in a card that I don't think I ever sent. Which is probably in the box with the gifts I haven't sent. Because I suck. So here's the drabble I wrote you (by hand!), only three years late.
Author's note: This is a transformative work of fiction set after the movie The Lost Boys, and does not take into account the sequels.
Rating: 13+
Word count: 300

Summary: He is haunted by his past, and the setting of his sins.

( After )

Don't forget, you can still request December Drabbles. Just leave a fandom, character(s), and some sort of a prompt in a comment.
