Roundup: Hurt/Comfort Exchange

Hurt/Comfort Exchange is for fanworks using the trope of one or more characters being hurt and receiving care, physical or emotional.

187 works have been posted this year.

My fic sent Marcus Pierce and a MacGuffin from Lucifer into the Torchwood-verse.

I got a delightful Loki/Thor fic from one of my favorite writers.

Treats written for MultiFandom Drabble Exchange

MultiFandom Drabble is a very popular twice-yearly exchange focusing on stories of exactly 100, 200, or 300 words.

Over 750 works have been posted in more than 330 fandoms.

I didn't sign up because I am not super-fond of writing stories to an exact wordcount. But I did track it for possible treat-writing, and when it turned out that a couple of people I could write for ended up on the "treatless" list toward the end of the exchange, I was inspired to step in.

The other reason I didn't sign up was that I don't think I'm that great at writing really short stories, and I think most other people aren't either. It's not hard to write a 100-word vignette, but getting it to be a story is hard.

So, unsurprisingly, I ended up writing triple-drabbles—one for Lucifer, and one for The Night Manager.
