Bingo prompt: Diner's Club, G60 Vegetables (Author's Choice)

( Read more... )

May cross-post this to B2MEM later this week, but tonight I just don't have anything left for doing the header and all....

WARNING: this is a VERY rough draft and lacks my usual array of header notes, but I thought some of you might enjoy seeing what I've been up to lately.... :)

( Imprisoned (PG-13, 1/?) by Febobe )

The first sixteen chapters were posted over the period Sept. 7-19, 2011. I don't find that I had posted Ch. 17 yet; if it's a repeat, please forgive me, but I don't see it, so I don't think I'd gotten that far. Ch. 18 to come in the next few days as well.

I don't want to say too much just yet, but I've had a rush of new ideas for what's ahead in this fic, and I think y'all will REALLY enjoy what's coming several chapters down the road. And no, Frodo is NOT going to die in this fic. :) In fact, he's going to be having several new and exciting small adventures which will delight him, perhaps Sam, and possibly our beloved readers too. :)

Love always,
Febobe :)

( Into the East (Ch. 17) )

The teaser preview I posted earlier today comes from this fic's opening, so those who read that will recognise the beginning. :) Bon appetit!

This fic is set in post-Quest Minas Tirith, before the arrival of Arwen and Elrond and their party, fairly early into Frodo's recovery - but far enough out that he is no longer in danger. It is a deviation from my usual practise of assuming Gondorian food to be Italian in nature. Please pardon the amount of canon-bending in this. If you can't tolerate some fun with canon, then you definitely don't want to read this, as it's not exactly what you'd call orthodox. ;) Oh, and you may notice that Sam reacts differently to shrimp here than he expresses in "Into the East." I tend to vary in whether I keep my fics consistent across the board...and one thing I love to vary is Frodo and Sam in their reactions to fish and seafood. It makes me happy to explore.

And this was another one that took a surprise turn on me. I thought it was done, but I felt like something was missing, and I caught hints of it as I was titling the piece...but when I started to paste it over to post here, I suddenly knew what was missing, so I went back and finished it. Man, talk about fic taking you places you didn't even know you were going to go....

Love,
Febobe :)

( Smoke & Shrimp )

I am open to title suggestions; I'm not thrilled with what I came up with, but it'll do. This is a little angsty, but I think it's still a G.

You know how sometimes you start a fic light and fluffy and then it goes all sad and angsty on you? Yeah, this was one of those. Don't worry, dear readers like Shirebound and others who aren't big on dark fics - it's not THAT dark. No deaths, and a definitely sweet and warm and loving ending. This one is just chock full o'Frodo love. It's set in post-Quest Minas Tirith.

Hope y'all enjoy it. I'll go finish wiping my tears now!

( Pop-Corn and Perspectives )

This is based on a 25_foods prompt - Salad Dressing! Enjoy. More of these to come in future. :) This is also from the Life Out of the Ruins universe, in which Frodo and his companions live in Nashville, Tennessee in the 21st century...and of course learn to experience many of the same things we enjoy. Like bottled salad dressings. ;)

Hugs,
Febobe :)

( Ranch Dressing )

Another little ficlet from my work tonight, from work started during B2MEM. :) Enjoy! This one's more sweet than funny, I think. :) Another one for fans of Frodo and Aragorn, with a little Gandalf thrown in. :)

( Coffee )

I suppose this could be PG if you're squinting at it, but as usual, this is intended in my standard no-sex, no-slash, no-profanity way. I don't have all my usual disclaimers and such attached ATM, but no, I don't own these guys, I just borrow them from JRRT. This is from B2MEM this year, and the info on that is below the cut. :)

Enjoy! Oh, BIG WARNING...humor. You may not wish to be drinking anything when you read this. I mean, maybe it's not that funny to y'all, but I certainly wouldn't want to drink anything while reading this. ;)

( Briefs or Boxers? )

Author's Notes: I think this chapter is long enough to compensate for that incredibly short Ch. 1 back yesterday! :) I have no clue when I'll get another chapter posted; it'll have to be Sunday or next week, because I'm driving back tomorrow, and going offline Thurs-Sat, so I don't know when I'll have a chance to write much on it until Sunday (though maybe if I take my Neo, perhaps!).

Some spoilery author's notes beneath the cut, too. Just FYI. :)

( Untitled (3/?) )

Thank you all for the delightful and encouraging responses thus far! Mewsie, I'm so glad you like it, and everyone else too! (Moit, I totally understand. I'll skip your sex toy fics and you can skip my cuddly foodie fics! Works for me! :D And thank you about the icon. Made by one of my sweet friends here!)

Here is the second installment of the fic. I still don't have a good title; maybe by the end of the fic I'll come up with something appropriate. :) Warning: hobbits ahead!
