Here's my vid that debuted at REVELCon 31 this year!

I redid the second verse of my "Senior Service" mini-vid, which I wasn't completely happy with. I think the clips go with the lyrics better now. Maybe one of these days I'll catch up with the Vexercises, good Lord willin' and the crick don't rise.

Ratty fans can rest assured that the second verse is still entirely based on "The Daredevil Rescue Raid." :-)

I left detailed comments on fic, which is how I like to spread the joy! As a friend of mine recently said, feedback is like oxygen to writers. Or as another friend said many years ago, thoughtful feedback is like ice cream on a hot day. ♥

Here are links to the fics--well, three complete stories, one chapter of a WIP, and one poem--listed by fandom, plus brief non-spoilery comments along with the authors' summaries--you may find something that you'll enjoy, too!

Story title: Dead Men Tell Some Tales [link to AO3]
Author: Amedia
Fandoms: due South, Rat Patrol
Rating: PG
Characters: Sam Troy, Jack Moffitt, Hans Dietrich, Bob Fraser, Benton Fraser, Ray Kowalski, Diefenbaker
Ship: Fraser/RayK, Moffitt/Dietrich
Summary: While investigating the murder of a retired undercover cop, Fraser and RayK enjoy more ghostly cooperation--and interference--than usual.

Warning: Some of the characters are dead when the story begins, but that doesn't stop them from solving a crime. To say nothing of matchmaking.
Word Count: 1696

Author's note: Prompt fill for

ride_4ever, who requested a "Fusion prompt: due South characters in Rat Patrol AU. (Slash preferred.)" I spent a long time figuring out how to get these characters together, and this wound up being more of a Rat Patrol characters in due South kind of story--but there is definitely slash! Many thanks to Lorelei for cheerleading.

How can I be into multiple fandoms right now? I don't DO THAT. I MEAN WHAT. (Okay, I have a couple of fandoms that are always simmering in the background, like Barney Miller and Star Trek, but I'm usually *really into* just one fandom at a time.)

So right now, I'm still pretty wild about Rat Patrol. And I've gone head-over-heels for The Untamed. And I just finished watching Guardian, another C-drama based on a danmei (gay romance) novel.

( Squee and screencaps ensue )

Come watch Ratties (and later, Gorillas) and make snarky/slashy comments! It's free, and the chatting is in a text window so you don't even have to comb your hair!

Copied from DCSlash:
Today, we will be fighting World War II during the DCSlash Gathering. We'll start in North Africa fighting alongside the Rat Patrol with their jeeps as they go up against the handsome and honorable Hauptmann Hans Dietrich. Then we will switch to the European Theater to go on special missions behind enemy lines with Garrison's Gorillas as this elite team of criminals works their way to freedom by doing missions for the Allies.

We start at 1:30 pm EST at https://app.kosmi.io/room/bzw8jx

I realized that I never posted these here, and we must give equal time to the good guys! Gary Raymond, who played Moffitt, appeared on the Saint TV show, where he was highly entertaining as the villain, Gilberto Arroyo.

Hans Gudegast, a.k.a. Eric Braeden, played a hired gunslinger on an episode of The Virginian that I saw recently, looking quite purty. Screencaps ensued!

Story title: Troy (the Cat)
Author: Amedia
Rating: G
Fandom Rat Patrol
Characters:Jack Moffitt, Hans Dietrich
Ship: Moffitt/Dietrich, established relationship
Summary: Troy misbehaves
Word Count: 45
Author's note: Gift for Klio

... sometime in the late 1940’s ... somewhere in Egypt ...

Dietrich: Jack! Troy peed in my boots!
Moffitt: Oh! You weren’t supposed to find out about that.
Dietrich: You do realize I’m talking about the cat.
Moffitt: ...
Moffitt: Of course! That’s what I meant, too.

Here are the Rat Patrol fic recommendations I made for Fandom of the Week on DCSlash this week!

( This way for yummy yummy fic )

I drew up this list for the Fandom of the Week on DCSlash, and thought I'd like to share it with y'all!

The Chain of Death Raid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivr_rT8TTFk
This is the one that justastormie's screencap is from! Troy and Dietrich are captured by slave traders and chained together. They have to work together to escape and survive.

I mean this screencap, of course:

The Moment of Truce Raid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHSpJG_eMxE
The Rats and Dietrich have to work together when they are attacked by a common enemy.

The Decoy Raid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY4Q3bOny9U
The Rats and Dietrich struggle to prevent a typhus epidemic when the vaccine is impounded by a mad S.S. officer.

The Last Chance Raid – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67JTpXX3xNs
This one doesn't have a work-together plot, but it has one of the slashiest scenes in the entire series – even GEN fans say it's slashy! Dietrich has captured Troy and his men and says, "What am I going to do with you?" Troy asks flirtatiously, "Are you open to suggestions?" And they smile at each other a beat too long—or, as the younglings say nowadays—eyesex! Here's a set of screencaps I found on Pinterest from this very scene:

I'm doing this week's Fandom of the Week for DCSlash, a group on FB/DW/Discord for slash fans in the DC area. Three guesses what I picked!!!

No fair! You looked at the icon. ;-) Here are the two preliminary posts I made today--the first one is long, so it's under a cut. Fic recs will follow!

Post #2:
Fandom of the Week: The Rat Patrol
In case the previous entry was tl;dr at this hour of the morning, I offer you just one of justastormie’s screenshots-with-caption. Enjoy!

Story title: THE ATTRACTIVE NUISANCE RAID
Author: Amedia
Rating: R (for what's implied)
Characters: Dietrich, Moffitt, Troy
Ship: Dietrich/Moffitt/Troy
Summary: The Rat Patrol is a nuisance - but oh, such an attractive nuisance.
Word Count: 492
Author's note: Written during ConneXions with the encouragement of my roommates. Sequel to The Playing with Fire Raid. Also posted on AO3 at The Attractive Nuisance Raid.

Crackfic, pure and simple. You have been warned. Troy/Moffitt/Dietrich threesome. 2340 words.

This year's words were "In a pinch" "rain boots," gum, lovely, and strip*. We got seven minutes. Here is the unedited story exactly as I wrote it!

Title: The Enemy of my Enemy Raid
Author: Amedia
Fandom: Rat Patrol
Rating: PG for canon-typical violence and boykissing
Characters: Moffitt, Dietrich, Troy, Schmidt, OC's
Pairing: Moffitt/Dietrich
Disclaimer: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by Mirisch-Rich and United Artists. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.
Summary: Moffitt gets a few surprises when he is sent on detached service to pick up an important prisoner.
Word Count: 3042
Author's Note: A gift for Klio, who was wishing she had more of my Moffitt/Dietrich stories to read. How could I turn down such a flattering hint? Many thanks to TODS, who beta-read three complete drafts. The story is set during the "Raids End" universe, in which Moffitt and Dietrich had an affair ten years before the war. It takes place before “The Truth Will Out Raid,” which means that Troy is not aware of their previous relationship.

( The Enemy of my Enemy Raid )

That is, for my fellow Rat Patrol fans--my homerats, as it were. Which almost rhymes with mome raths, which makes me think of Jabberwocky, so it's all good.

Anyway, I managed to catch two of the Rats - Lawrence Casey and Christopher George - basically, the two who are NOT in the icon - on Love Boat, and made screen caps, and here they are!
Hitch on Love Boat
Troy on Love Boat

Enjoy!

I read four pleasure books from October through December 2012, which really isn't very many, especially since I read three of them on airplanes. ( Read more... )
