Trick or Treat authors have (somewhat) been revealed (apparently there's an author reveals bug, too), so here are the four stories I wrote this year. I wish I would have managed one more, because that would have brought me to five stories, which I like for an exchange. Ah well, Yuletide is coming. Trick or Treat was great for me this year as both a reader and a writer.

Assignment: 16 Ways to Kill a Vampire at McDonald's (new fandom)

I love this fandom a ton, and I got amazing fic out of it last year, so I really wanted to do it justice this year. I'm pleased with what I managed.

Title: Dangerous Things, and Scary, and Bright

Summary: Lucy met her first vampire when she was eighteen and looked twenty and felt like she was at least as mature as any twenty-one year old. She met her second vampire when she was nineteen, and looked twenty-one, and was as scared as a baby tossed out into a bright, loud, dangerous world.

Treat: Original Work (it's complicated fandom)

I love weird west, ghost stories, and stories about dangerous, hungry women. Based on the response, I did a good job of making it creepy and twisty, which was exactly what I wanted.

Title: Spook Hunting

Summary: It don't matter what they find. None of the stories are ever told the same.

Treat: Chronicles of Riddick series (old fandom)

Shopfront had a great request and inspiring prompts, and I wanted to bring Dahl and Kyra together into the same place. I love Pitch Black and parts of Riddick, but huge chunks of Riddick infuriated me, too, and I wanted to play around with changing that. I'm pleased with how this turned out.

Title: Dirt and Danger and Death

Summary: It's a planet full of dirt and danger and death, like all the best places.

Treat: Riverdale (new fandom)

I think Riverdale is ripe for haunting and supernatural things, and bloodredcherries felt the same way, based on their prompts, so I wanted to write an unreliable narrator ghost story.

Title: She is Marked and Undone

Summary: Betty remembers, and sees, and dreams.

To further celebrate a decade of Carla fic, I give you more fic. One hundred word drabbles about women for each fandom in which I have posted a story, each inspired by this song.

Title: One Girl Revolution
Author: Carla
Disclaimer: None of the characters are mine.
Dedication: To the fans in all my fandoms, thank you for everything you've done.

Some people see the revolution but most only see the girl
I can lose my hard earned freedom if my fear defines my world
I declare my independence from the critics and their stones
I can find my revolution I can learn to stand alone

title: an imposter of an imposter was still a fake
author: Carla
disclaimer: Characters belong to David Twohy, etc.
setting: during The Chronicles of Riddick
summary: Kyra has all these thoughts.

Kyra was imposter.

She was animal, all swiftness, sleek muscle, and detachable claws. None of it more real than shaved head, taped-together glasses, and hidden blood. Slam wasn’t so bad; she’d faced worse in the dark. She carved her shivs, climbed the walls, and cut anyone who came too close.

She saw him again, Riddick, true killer, savior, and betrayer. She told herself she hated him, but that was a lie like the rest. He touched her and she was irrational--Kyra, Jack, helpless kid on a planet, on a ship.

An imposter of an imposter was still a fake.
