subverting the text

Hello, friends! Today is my birthday and I have continued the tradition of writing a self-indulgent piece of fanfiction.

There is this show. It is called Teen Wolf. It it ostensibly a show rebooting the movie from the 80s while making it "edgy" (i.e. they stole the premise to do their own thing, thumbs up, creators). I do not have cable, so I mainlined all 12 episodes with chaosraven over Skype/Netflix during a two day period of perfection, extremely waxed men playing teenaged boys (really, it's Teen Wolf: No Body Hair), and Derek being a complete creeper and also super hot. Then I wrote 23,000 words about boys and their feelings in a week (with no knotting, alas). This show was sold to me with the following argument: it's extremely slashy, Stiles is amazing and also, Derek. It was really good for me and I have no shame. This story will immediately be jossed on the premiere of season two when everyone is inevitably given a heterosexual life partner. Come on, MTV, don't you know that Merriam-Webster added the word "bromance" to their dictionary this year? Get with the program.

Beta'ed by the peerless, comma-smashing chaosraven, who slogged through the mire of this draft heroically in less than a week. Thanks for all the corpses of those run-on sentences you laid at my feet, darling. This is all your fault, as per usual.

Title: Open the Door
Rating: PG-13, for lack of knotting
Summary: (Teen Wolf) Derek gives Stiles his jacket.

Whee, I love days off.

WELL! I was all set to post this hours ago! I even got out of work early. What the hell, LJ!

Meanwhile, owlmoose wrote me metafic for Damages. I don't think I have to say how awesome this is, but I will, anyway. THIS IS AWESOME. She totally did exactly what I hinted she should do at the beginning of the month. XD Read: In the Shadows (Paine, Nooj). asldkhalsfhhddhhdhd dude I heart Paine/Nooj so hard.

Plus! It feels so weird to almost be done with this story! So weird.

How much do I hate closing shifts! A lot when they screw up my writing time and therefore my pacing. sdljfalfhfhfhfhf;;
