So, rachel2205 is a genius, and has started the comm sherlockhet to celebrate the co-ed relationships is a very slashy fandom! Head on over to read some quality boy/girl love! (I now feel like I need to write more Jim/Molly fic to fill the place up! THIS IS A VERY GOOD THING! ♥)

(Also: I want someone to write a story about what Mrs. Hudson and her husband got up to before he was naughty and sentenced to die!)

(I actually thought I hadn't hit post yet and was still composing bits of my reply in my head while I was in the kitchen... so I figured, well, might as well add them.)

Most everything I've written since August has been posted anonymously (at least temporarily, like with Yuletide and the TGIO fics I've owned up to). I think I'm treating it like some kind of exercise or goal... like if I can get people to consistently like things they don't have a name tied to, I'm probably getting somewhere with my writing.

Hmmm... now I want to see this dubiously-received fic!

Before I go to bed, I will tell you how to find said fic. But first I will warn you: it's pretty dark, and fairly disturbing. Not knowing your tolerance for such things, I think it's fair to warn you. It contains non-con. (Though it's fairly brief toward the end.)

The prompt I wrote it for was: Amy/Prisoner Zero. (with Amy of age, please!)

He's had 12 years to get into her mind. One night, he takes over one of her sex dreams.

Summary: Amy has a Red Riding Hood-themed nightmare about the Doctor.

To be honest, I have no objective idea of how creepy or disturbing it is. If you choose not to read it, I don't blame you!

ETA Annnndd now I actually have to tell you how to find it! Go to http://www.delicious.com/killthefez and click on the Amy/Prisoner Zero tag.

I have a pretty high tolerance for dark, jsyk. I don't know why, really, though I rarely seek it out. It's just gratuitous smut that I tend to skim over.

So! That was dark and creepy, but... was very good. Quite very good. You kind of skirted the line that marks the edges of purple prose, but it made for a properly vivid dream atmosphere. Plus I think the way it ties into the fairy tale theme makes it even more super-creepy (fairy tales make for excellent darkness magnifiers--I think it's the fact that the ones most of us are familiar with are already rewritten versions of dark stories). The description of Rory as the Woodcutter was wonderful and the bit where (at least in my mind) everything went black-and-white gave me the creeps... plus the ending.

And that's a dubious reception? I only saw one comment that might be even somewhat lukewarm. It's not really worse than most dark fairy tales, and it's certainly not of dubious quality. Though I suppose it is kind of... well... dark. (-;
