I wrote a little less than typical for me this yuletide, but I suppose with assignments going out two weeks later than last year and nearly a month later than the year before it was to be expected. Some of the fandoms were very, very tiny so I figure I'll continue with my tradition of (very brief in this case) fandom promotion/write-up as well. So, in alphabetical order, here we go:

9-1-1 - This is a tv show about firefighters, cops and paramedics that has been airing a few years now.
Tethers to Home, PG, 2630 words. Summary: Friends help each other out when they need it, even if one isn't aware they need it. And, sometimes, they discover they're more than friends in the process. (Spoilers for S3 E1-3)

Baywatch - This show about lifeguards that ran from the late 80s to early 2000s probably needs no promotion. (Fic set S1)
Embracing the Shore, rated PG-13, 3030 words. Summary: Craig and Gina were some of the best people Eddie knew, and as a couple? In his opinion they were practically perfect. It never occurred to him that they might think differently.

Dash Sword Slash and the Defenders of Everything... how to describe Dash Sword Slash... It's a meta re-imagining of a bunch of 80s cartoon intros? (video here) which I combine with Yuletide and AO3 tags "fandoms" for crackfic ridiculousness.
That Thing You Didn't Manage to Write, PG, 1317 words. Summary: There was a fanfic exchange coming up and if it went like it usually did it meant people would be writing porn for it. Jace Cockblock and the Creep Crew planned to put a stop to that.

Earth: Final Conflict- A 20 yr old scifi show about what happens when a supposedly peaceful alien species comes to Earth bearing gifts and a few people are suspicious of their motives. (Fic set S2)
Trust, If but Earned, G, 1318 words. Summary: Liam thought the event had shown all the signs of possibly ending badly. Some day there was a chance Liam wouldn't be right about things like that, but today was not one of those days.

Magnum P.I. (TV 2018) The reboot of the 80s show, this time Magnum is a Afghanistan vet who's working as a PI on Hawaii with the help of his friends.
Seek and Search, PG, 4522 words. Summary: Katsumoto had begun to hate getting calls from Thomas Magnum because the man only ever called when he needed something and Katsumoto was tired of the endless stream of requested favors. Then came the call when Magnum was in serious need of help and Katsumoto could only hope he'd be able to provide it.

Murdoch Mysteries - Detective Murdoch attempts to solve crimes in 1890s-1900s Toronto using various 'modern' techniques. (Fic set pre-series/S1)
Observations Beyond, G, 1835 words. Summary: Interpreting a crime scene wasn't an easy skill to master, but it was one George was determined to learn.

Peacemakers- A US Marshall, a former Pinkerton detective, and a town mortician solve crimes in 1870sish Colorado.
A Molehill Traversed, PG, 2144 words. Summary: A storm, a soaking and an unexpected reveal.

Wild Wild West - In the 1870s two US Secret Service Agents have steampunk shenanigans and occasionally save the world.
Earth to Sky, Sigh to Sigh, PG, 1504. Summary: Jim has been captured so it's time for Artie to ride to the rescue. Again.


Doing research for YT fics is always interesting/infuriating. Did you know that both "yep" and "nope" weren't words until basically the 1890s? I was constantly going to etymonline to check word usage and various other sites for what could be considered known/done in the stories I was writing. Even Baywatch required a little extra thought- 1989 has different slang than today. Trying to get characters to 'sound' right is a constant trial for me, hopefully I achieved it.

Challenge #1

In your own space, introduce yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Okeydokie, I am donutsweeper in LJ/DW/AO3 land, penguinsweaters on tumblr and usually some form ibble+donuts on discord. I've been in fandom probably close to 15 years via these platforms? Not sure what else to say as introductions go, I write a lot of treats for exchanges, reblog a lot of cute animals gifsets, and babble about donuts depending on the platform.
