Title: Ten
Show: West Wing
Category: Post Series, 10th Anniversary fic
Rating: G
Notes: This is a year of anniversaries. Ten years since I started writing fic. Ten years since a bunch of goofballs on TWoP became the Keytus Kids. Ten years since my show ended. To celebrate my writing anniversary,

kiss_me_cassie offered me the prompt of "10 years after the Bartlet administration". I was originaly going to write "10 year later" drabbles for all my fandoms, but then I got a better idea. I offer you this: ten 100 word drabbles set 10 years after the series finale. Here's to ten more! A big thank you to both

gatsbyfan and

seri_scribble for listening to me moan as this proved to be a more daunting task than I originally anticipated.

( 1. Jed and Abby )

( 2. Josh and Donna )

( 3. Toby and His Kids )

( 4. Charlie and Zoey )

( 5. Jed and Debbie )

( 6. Will and Kate )

( 7. C.J. and Danny )

( 8. Hubbub and Commotion )

( 9. Clamor and Contemplation )

( 10. Abby and Jed )

Title: Time Goes By
Show: West Wing
Category: Post Series, Post-ep for The Cold
Rating: PG
Notes: It hasn't just been 10 years since The Cold. It was spoilers for The Cold that finally encouraged me to delurk from TWoP and start posting. I wouldn't be involved with fandom today, if Josh and Donna didn't "totally make out." :-) Even more importantly I wouldn't have met all the wonderful people. So this one is for the Keytus Kids! (ETA: This was originally called "Ten Years", but I changed the name for a variety of reasons, including to avoid duplication with an upcoming fic.)

( Happy Anniversary Everyone!! )

Notes: Do you guys remember Less Traveled By? I hope you do, because I think it's the best fanfic I've ever written. As many of you know, I've been working on a sort-of sequel for a while now. It's been pretty close to done for months and I didn't want the year to end with it still incomplete. Happy New Year, everyone!

( Good guests come with gifts... )

Title: Destination
Category: Post-ep for Transition
Rating: PG
Notes: I actually can't believe I finished this one. I was ready to scrap it more times than I could count. In the end, the solution was to change the format from the Frankenstein experiment in POV I was attempting to something more far more familiar. Like this fic, I have written five 100 word drabbles that technically can be read separately, but make more sense when read together. I'm posting it today in honor of

gatsbyfan's birthday! Feliz cumpleaños, Gatz!!! (The Spanish will make sense after you read the fic.)

( On The Plane )

( Crashing )

( At The Beach )

( The Talk )

( Home Again )
.

Okay, I'll admit that none of these are my best effort, but it feels so nice to actually post something, I'll take what I can.

And even if they're only drabbles, at least it's two that I can cross off of this ridiculous list of mine!

( Rock Garden (Life) )

( Busybody (West Wing) )

I was going through some old files I hadn't looked through in well over a year and stumbled across this. This was one of my earliest fics and the first I ever abandoned. I haven't worked on it since June 2006. I'll never go back to it now, of course, but what I did manage to write down was interesting enough, that I thought I'd share. (P.S. Old fic deserves one of my oldest icons. I'm totally going retro here.)

( Pivot’s Questions )

For this meme,

zinke asked for commentary for Back Against The Wall, the first part of my first and (so far) only series Things Not Meant To Be. She couldn't have chosen a better fic. This was a pretty significant piece for me and so I have a lot to say about it, to the point I nearly did commentary for the whole fic. But if I did that, then I would want to do it for the whole series, and I'm only going to do that if there's a lot of interest. So, rather bite off more than I can chew, I stuck to commenting on the snippet itself and not go into the more spoilery things about the rest of the fic and the rest of the series.

( Back Against The Wall snippet - DVD Commentary )

Just one more batch to go! This has been a lot of fun!

( California (Sports Night) )

( Life Imitates Art (Life With Derek/Press Gang) )

( Unromantic (West Wing) )

( Who I Need (Life) )

As promised, an all-Sorkin drabble post. A couple of Sports Night and a couple West Wing.

Title: Foundling

Rating: G
Notes: This is a sequel of sorts to Expecting. This was a birthday fic is for

watson1, who has been more than patient. Especially since a few of her birthdays have gone by since I started this! A big thank you to

gatsbyfan for proof-reading.

( An unexpected addition to the family... )

Title: Terrible
Category: Drabble
Rating: G
Notes: Trying to get this in under the wire. I literally wrote this in twenty minutes, which means that the title also refers to my writing. Now if people would only write The Cold anniversary fic, I wouldn't have to resort to such desperate measures! Happy birthday to both

flippet,

paladin98 and to all Keytus Kids collectively. I wish I could have gotten you all a better gift!

Title: Less Traveled By
Author: Quaggy
Category: Drama, post-Season 6 AU
Rating: G
Notes: Well, it looks like I might have gotten my Christmas wish for my muse to come back. I started this fic ages ago. I was inspired by a couple of brilliant, angsty AUs where Josh and Donna both get burnt out on politics and disappear (seperately) only to meet up years later. Mine, however, somehow got mixed up with holiday travel. So, in honor of the season, I offer it as a Christmas present. A great big thank you to

christinekh ,

edgeriffic and

gatsbyfan for the speedy beta! Peppermint hot chocolate's on me, ladies!

( Airports are the worst place to be during the holidays... )

Notes: So it's no secret that I have writer's block... or maybe it's writer's total distraction. :-P To try to help me out,

zinke gave me the prompt of "rock n' rolll" to try to get things flowing. Unfortunately, a cold, two trips and general craziness at work got in my way. So before anything else can happen, here we go...

( It's got be rock 'n' roll music... )

Challenge 186 for

tww100 was "Rewind" which meant you could go back and write using any prompts. I got the idea for these drabbles when the prompts were first posted, but I just didn't have time to work on them. (Actually I still don't have the time, but oh well.)

Title: For The Best
Author: Quaggy
Category: AU
Rating: PG
Notes: This is an AU that diverges from the canon in Season 4 right before Commencement, though I will occasionally make a reference to minor plotlines. Things that did NOT happen: Zoey’s kidnapping, Amy Redux, Carrick, Gaza, Leo’s heart attack. Oh, and, after Sam lost his election, he came back as Senior Legal Council… because I wanted him to. I've literally been working on this fic off and on for over a year and I never could have finished if not for the help and encouragement of Caz, Gatz and Edgy. Thank you so much, you guys!

( All it takes is one little change... )

Title: She’s Not You

Notes: I don’t think Amy and Mandy are the same person, so why would they have the some outlook? This fic is set mid season 3. Thank you to

gatsbyfan and

caz963 for the beta and a great big thank you to

edgeriffic for helping me save this fic when I was ready to put it permanently on ice!

Rating: G
Notes: These drabbles can be separately or all together as one united fic. Each of these drabbles are exactly 100 words so that they would qualify for tww100. The current challenge (#181) is “Water.” Wasn’t that convenient! For those of you who care about things like this, the last drabble features Nora and Aaron. Thank you to edgeriffic, gatsbyfan and caz963for the beta and to teresadivicenzo for finally giving Aaron his name! :-) And, of course, thank you to flippet for such an inspiring idea! Ages ago, I wrote a silly little drabble about singing in the shower. Flip thought that Donna listening to Josh sing Yellow Submarine would make a good drabble and I promised to write it for her birthday. Flash forward many months later, and I’ve written her five. Which is only fair since I missed her birthday a while ago. Sorry, for the delay, Flip! Happy belated birthday!

Notes: When I first came up with this idea of merging setting the world of Studio 60 was set in the same world as the West Wing, I thought Caz should be the one to give it a go, since I basically stopped watch Studio 60 before the Christmas episode! But after Studio 60 was officially cancelled, I felt so bad for my friends who were fans, Caz especially, that I resurrected the concept to make her laugh. It took me only a few days to finish. Little did I know that Caz had taken my idea and ran with it in a completely opposite direction. So I waited to post with her. You can find her version HERE. I know that Studio 60 takes place in “our” world and West Wing is essentially an AU, but I think I can be forgiven, just this once, for ignoring cannon. Work with me here! :-P A great big thank you to edgeriffic, gatsbyfan and caz963 for the beta.

Goodbye, Studio 60. Thanks for the laughs!

Note: Who she is.  I've included =more thoughts at the end of the piece. A great big thank you to

caz963 for the beta and the hand holding throughout this entire series. You encouraged me right from the moment I first told you about this slightly crazy idea and stood behind me with a big stick when I needed it. Thank you to

seri_scribble for being willing to be my blind beta, so to speak. I know it was frusterating no knowing who she was for months and months, but I can't tell you how valuable it was to have an "outsider's" opinion! And finally thank you to

phla for providing me with my own personal transcript of a needed scene!

Please read Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 first.

Note: Sam has issues of his own that he needs to deal with. I want to thank everyone for their understanding and their support during the hiatus. It meant the world to me. And, as always, a big thank you to

caz963 and

seri_scribble for their help and encouragement.

Please read Part 1 and Part 2 first.
