Still writing

plonqIt's been some time since I posted a story here, but I'm still writing these days. My last couple of efforts have been in the Bolt fandom again, but I've got a couple of Transformers stories in the pipeline as well - including a remake of a popular fable set in the Transformers universe.
I've settled on Archive Of Our Own (AO3) as my repository of choice for my writing these days. I'll link to them here going forward, but I am not sure if I will be copying and pasting them over going forward. It's a lot of work to fix up the formatting.
My most recent efforts are a two-parter in a fandom for which I vowed I would only ever write one story. Maybe two.
Summary:
Penny's mom inherits a cabin from somebody who is ostensibly a relative. Then nothing happens. This is one of those character-driven stories where there's lots of talking and hurt and comfort and stuff.
Edit: One of my beta readers has told me that my summary might not draw in a reader. Try this:
Imagine if the movie "Bolt" had been the product of some experimental mid-century Swedish director, with lots of essentially static, stark black and white moments with a split-screen of two actors' faces against a Stygian background, one facing right and the other facing the viewer. Their pallid visages betray no emotion as they stoically talk over each other, voicing their feelings of emptiness and ennui in the face of a meaningless existence. They end by saying, "I am alone, even when we are together" in unison.
Now imagine if this story is nothing like that, other than lots of dialogue and character interaction. And a hamster and a dog and a cat.
The Cabin In The Woods - Plonq - Bolt (2008) [Archive of Our Own]
Summary:
Bolt finally manages to get both of his fuzzy friends up to the family cabin in the mountains, but his obsession over keeping Penny safe from mundane chores leads to conflict and misadventure. For those wondering about the title, I decided not to post Part 2 because it was just a lot of driving, and various characters whining, "are we there yet?"
This is functionally the sequel to The Cabin In The Woods, but I wrote this story so that it would stand on its own if you missed the prequel. (But the other one is a fun story too, so I recommend it! ;)
