Weapons of Class Destruction

Snagged from jadeblood:

Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

( Unashamed self-love under the cut )

Yeah, I admit it, I like talking about my writing. I get shy about it, but once you get me going, well, I'm incorrigible, honestly. It's the one thing I'm truly ever completely confident about, even if I suffer from a bit of the nerves when I'm first posting.

Peace, Ghani

Title: She Builds Quick Machines
Fandom: Iron Man (movieverse)
Author: Ghani Starkiller @ mrs_peel_fanfic
Rating: PG-13 for language and sexual situations
Disclaimer: Marvel and the filmmakers own 'em, I just play with 'em.
Characters: Tony, Rhodes, Pepper, flashback!Obadiah, some Happy, OFCs, Pepper/Tony, Rhodey/OFC
Summary: As Pepper urges Tony to accept Obadiah's betrayal, she herself grows closer in sympathy to Stane's grieving personal assistant, and becomes fearful for Tony's new lifestyle and her relationship with it and him. Meanwhile Stark and Rhodes slowly begin to uncover a plot coming from within Stark Industries that involves industrial espionage, revenge and the unsettling resurgence of a ghost from Tony's troubled past. And cybernetic ninjas.
A/N: This one turned out to be pretty Rhodey-centric; at least the last half is. It's something I wanted to do with the story at some point, but even this surprised me!

Le sigh. I am having, as the title of this post suggests, a fanfic conundrum. Finding the right PB for an OC is not always a crucial thing for me, don't get me wrong, but when an actress (or actor or model etc. etc.) becomes a muse, the lure is irresistible. A lot of times, I've found these muses after I've created characters; sometimes they help me to do so. I'm in a position with a character in the Iron Man fic I'm writing where the latter'd be ideal as I really can't get her in my head otherwise; she's not coming to life like I'd hoped. And I'd really hoped to find the perfect actress to inspire me but I've looked and I've looked and it's not happening. Now, I know I shouldn't try to force it, but I do want to keep writing the story--I'm nearly done with Chapter 1 and would have more completed if I could just "find" this character! But she's elusive!

Making it worse, while looking at various actresses yesterday, I found this amazingly awesome pic of Milla Jovovich which is practically screaming to me to write some Iron Man/The Black Widow fic, hijacking her for the Marvel movie!verse, but, unlike the other character I have in mind, Madame Masque, I don't have any plot bunnies bumping around for The Black Widow. Argh! To complicate things further, I've found the perfect Rae LaCoste, girlfriend of Rhodey and former flame of Tony's, in Rachel McAdams, but she's more of a supporting character and a way to give Rhodey something romantic 'cause, well, I'm sexually fixated on him as well as Tony, duh!

Right now, my main contender is Rose Byrne (as Krissy Longfellow and as Whitney Frost, as well as as Madame Masque because the blood kind of looks like scarring) but is it right? I can't tell yet. Usually these things come so easy to me; it's so frustrating!

So, there's my rant. Thank you to whomever is still reading, heh! You've been a great audience! Good night! ;-)

Warnings: Suffice it to say, spoilers for the movie

A/N: So, I've decided to post my fanfic over here as well; I'm rarely over at LJ anymore, though the link will take you to my LJ fanfic journal. It just seemed right. There's a small allusion to the comics in this chapter, readers of the Ketch era will catch it. Something might come of it later...

Title: Merry Christmas Darling
Author: Ghani Starkiller @ mrs_peel_fanfic
Disclaimer: Ain't mine, characters and situations belong to Marvel and the filmmakers; Karen Carpenter belongs to Heaven.
Rating: PG-13-ish
Characters: Johnny/Roxanne
Warnings: Spoilers for the movie obviously, some sappy romance
Summary: Johnny spends a lonely Christmas Eve dreaming of the day he can finally come home to celebrate with Roxy.
A/N: Wasn't originally going to be Christmas themed but I happened to ehar The Carpenters' "Merry Christmas Darling" on the radio while I was thinking of writing and got to thinking about how that was probably Johnny's favorite Christmas song and then the lyrics just really wrote the story for me! It also occured to me how hilarious it would be to do a version of A Christmas Carol with the Ghost Rider character...Maybe another day... ;-)

Written for: jadeblood as a very special Christmas prezzie. You wanted a Johnny/Roxy fic and this one's for you, darlin'! Mwah!

Greeting cards have all been sent...

Peace, Ghani

Just accidentally deleted all ten pages of the fic I was working on. From the floppy it was saved to, which was the only copy. It's just gone, poof, because apparently, unlike my laptop, things deleted from floppies don't go into the recycling bin.

I'm going to go cry now. Ta.

Peace, Ghani

ETA: Squeeee! Thanks to dream_mender's assistance (and link to the recovery for dummies program, heh), I recovered the file! Thank you to all who offered hugs! Backatcha!

A/N: Carter fans rejoice, for their is much of Mr. Slade in this chapter. So much, I considered making it just his chapter and cutting out the Johnny bit, but that wouldn't do! Again, I thank all of you who have read and commented; y'all just make my day and you definitely make it all worth it :-) EDIT: And my apologies for any errors you might come across; the storm last night caused me to lose my final draft and I was working from memory.

A/N: Whee, a big ol' Carter scene for all ya fans out there! And my morbid side couldn't help but sing "Flagpole Sitta" as I was writing the end of this chapter, heh. Of course, I realized that throughout this entire thing I've had "A Sorta Fairytale" (lyrics are here) in my head and, listening to it yesterday realized why, how perfectly it fit the story!

A/N: I bought me Essential Ghost Rider Vol. 1 the other day and, looking through it, I was assaulted by so many plot bunnies, so many stories that could be twisted into the movie 'verse, mainly that of Witch Woman. You can read more about the original comic story: Heres And, I'll tell ya, GOPCGR inspired me to include Carter in this, and when I did, everything just fell into place completely!
