sholio: pen and ink drawing of the four main Biggles characters (Biggles-team)
Back when I was doing No True Pair in September, I wrote a few that I rejected, or rewrote as new versions, because I felt like they didn't quite hit the notes I wanted or needed more editing than I felt like doing, or I just didn't feel like posting them at the time for whatever reason. So here are the cutting room floor versions for your reading enjoyment.

Sept. 6 - Algy packs a lunch/meal for Erich (original version)

There's really nothing wrong with this one per se. I just wrote a different version I liked better, so I posted that one instead. But this one's still pretty fun.

Sept. 12 - Erich & Raymond - another trial

This one is basically Too Much Woobie Erich and I couldn't figure out how to fix it aside from a complete rewrite. On the other hand, if woobie Erich is your flavor, have fun; I certainly did enjoy writing it.

Sept. 28 - Biggles & Marie with the title "We're Done Here"

This one is just kind of ... sad? It's not a happy Biggles & Marie ending, but I like it.

The posting schedule continues to have only the faintest acquaintance with the actual calendar. Also, these seem to be getting longer.

Okay, now I'm definitely just doing these in whatever order I want. I had some trouble figuring out what I might write with these two, but then I remembered one book in which they're both in the same location for a while is Biggles in the Terai, and, welp. Writing tags for that book is always such a hardship.

Okay, this one's a bit (actually a lot) early, but I'm on a Raymond kick now.

September Three - Bertie & Fritz with the title "Pay It Forward"

This always goes without saying, but please feel free to tell me if anything sounds extremely wrong; Bertie's dialogue is hard mode for me /o\ ...

Today's prompt is one that the Algy/Ginger shippers should appreciate. Except it didn't end up as porn, it's actually Algy being angsty about things. Mostly.

September One - Algy & Ginger - when the cat's away...

September is kicking off the Northern Hemisphere autumn season with a cool, rainy day that feels made to sit inside, drink tea, and write fic.

I have a few ficlets for [community profile] no_true_pair prompts to post this month, and also have a few other things, unfinished fic for previous prompt fests and that sort of thing. So I decided to make a master list (note that I absolutely AM NOT going to be writing all of these, but here's what I MIGHT be writing and finished ones will be added).

See previous No True Pair discussion/explanation here.

Earlier this month (h/t to [personal profile] snickfic) I signed up for, and then completely forgot about, [community profile] no_true_pair, in which you make a list of 8 characters and then the mods provide a prompt list (e.g. "1 & 7 go to a museum") and you see how your characters fit; it's like that old LJ meme.

The prompts are out (as that post says, "If you haven't signed up yet, SIGN UP BEFORE LOOKING AT THE PROMPTS" - everyone gets the same prompt list) and let's see what my characters are doing! (They can be from one fandom or any number of fandoms, as you like. In a twist that is shocking to no one, I chose all Biggles.)

My character list was as follows:

1. Algy Lacey
2. James "Biggles" Bigglesworth
3. Ginger Hebblethwaite
4. Bertie Lissie
5. Erich von Stalhein
6. Colonel Raymond
7. Fritz Lowenhardt
8. Marie Janis

Let's see what they're doing!
