Migration

2007-08-14T23:26:40Z

I've pretty much done with Livejournal, in terms of fandom. I don't feel the need to rant and preach, but I do want to direct anyone with any interest in whatever I might post here to my GreatestJournal - username "greyjoy". A lot of X-Stuff will be mixed in with other fandom rants (I have loads of obsessions, I just don't write about them!) there, but you know... that's cool.

Please let me know if you guys have migrated too. I'm keeping my rl stuff here because I have so many good friends from college and grad school here, but other than that... I'm out like a fat kid in dodge ball. (Pietro moment! Nice, how appropriate!)

TITLE: Must Be The Music: Heart + Soul
AUTHOR: Beaubier
AUTHOR'S E-MAIL: fastlove.for.rentATgmailDOTcom
FANDOM: X-Men: Evolution
PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: Any time, just let me know!
CATEGORY: Drama
RATINGS/WARNINGS: Rated pg-13 for language
SUMMARY: Third story in Must Be The Music. Northstar and Aurora have never been closer to the edge. Will they pull through in the end, or will they push each other away once and for all?
DISCLAIMER: I didn't invent the X-Men, and I have nothing to do with Evolution. If you somehow think I do: Thanks for the compliment, mislaid thought it may be.
NOTES: This is a sort of sequel to Thicker Than Water (which was a sequel to Relativity and then Here Comes Trouble), but it’s not necessary to read that saga to catch on here. I’ll make everything clear. That said, this is the third in a planned series of several one shots that explore the various main characters from TTW. Some will be serious, some fluffy, some just plain ridiculous (much like Here Comes Trouble, only more disjointed.) These stories will be written in chronological order beginning a few months after the end of TTW. This particular story coincides and shares scenes with the previous one, “Supermassive Black Hole.” You don’t HAVE to read SBH to get this one—but it might add another dimension.

This is Jean-Paul’s. If you don’t like this one, please hit up the next one just the same. They’ll all be completely different from each other. Except that… you know. I’m writing them all. The current line up is Wanda, Warren, Jean-Paul, Jean, Rogue, Sam, Pietro, Alex, Scott, Aurora. But of course that’s subject to change if I get a bug up my nose about something.

A short explanation of what the hell I’m doing here: When I write I have music for every character. Since I suck with titles and generally get most of my inspiration/ideas from music, each story in this planned series will be named after a song (a common cop out for me.) I’ll put a few lyrics at the beginning as an example of why because I’m a geek like that. But don’t try and match the song up with the story ala Dark Side of Oz. I’m not that clever. I just like music.

This is one I've wanted to do for a long time. The whole point of the fics was to put the Beaubiers and the Maximoffs where they belonged, and this pretty much wraps that up. Yes, I have more ideas for after this that continue in the plot vein... but you know. Time to let go.

Aurora's will expand further... but she's last :D

CATEGORY: Drama/Romance (only… not in a good way)
RATINGS/WARNINGS: Rated M for language/adult situations
SUMMARY: Second story in Must Be The Music. Is Warren in over his head with Aurora? Why yes. Yes, he is. Hi mom and dad, meet my crazy girlfriend who constantly fights with her twin brother in public. Oh yeah, and she’s a mutant.
DISCLAIMER: I didn't invent the X-Men and I have nothing to do with Evolution. If you somehow think I do: Thanks for the compliment, mislaid thought it may be.

Some will be serious, some fluffy, some just plain ridiculous (much like Here Comes Trouble, only more disjointed.) These stories will be written in chronological order beginning a few months after the end of TTW. This second half of this story happens simultaneously with the next one in the series, "Heart + Soul." It's not necessary to read that to get this one, but it will make everything more neat and clean and satisfying if you do.

This is Warren’s. If you don’t like this one, please hit up the next one just the same. They’ll all be completely different from each other. Except that… you know. I’m writing them all. The current line up is Wanda, Warren, Jean-Paul, Jean, Rogue, Sam, Pietro, Alex, Scott, Aurora. But of course that’s subject to change if I get a bug up my nose about something.

Thanks again to Risty for the awesome beta read (not to mention her infinite patience with things that make you want to listen to Methadone Pretty while mocking them. And by them I mean the things… not the Manics… anyhow…)

Okay so I'm sunburnt all to hell thanks to Florida and too tired to be useful other than actually posting this thing that risty77 was kind enough to leave in my inbox for me. But I made this journal to talk about fanfiction and stuff where my regular lj friends wouldn't have to be plagued by it so goddammit, I'm gonna. Three words for you: White Rock Girl. (See Profile for explanation.)

I got more than one person saying that they didn't like Jeanne-Marie till I fucked her up. I'll tell you why that is: She wasn't herself till then. The fun of the whole saga so far has been to fuck them up and fix the Maximoffs. That's it. JM wasn't meant to be Sue like (someone mentioned that she was a bit, which struck me as odd since I knew where she was going-- right here-- from the beginning but makes sense from a "I'm not Katey" perspective. I have trouble with that perspective. Not only AM I Katey, but I have a terminal case of head-in-ass when it comes to things like that. I only keep writing cause I know people who are nice enough to point out to me when I do these things. Seriously.) at all. This is who I think of her as being. I started her out nice and sweet and boring though because what's the fun of fucking someone up if they started out fucked up?

And let me be honest, I like her better than Jean-Paul. Like genuinely prefer writing her to him. I like her when she's crazy because she's a badass. She's not purely crazy either-- there's reason behind her choices and decisions. No one bothers to write them usually, because Marvel Hates Women.

Also, I have trouble writing chicks who aren't crazy. Seriously. It might be terminal too. I'm not sure. We're looking into it.

I just wanted to say that somewhere. I feel very X-Menny but I don't feel like irritating people with my chatter this evening. So I put it here under a cut! And... hell. I should use this thing more anyhow.

In closing, the next one is even more depressing sort of. Sorry about that, but JP is 4 Real yo. He just doesn't admit to it. Whereas Warren just WANTS to be. Loser!

Hey y'all. I know it's been awhile but I'm back and working on some plot-light, character-heavy stuff to follow Thicker Than Water. You can find the first short story in a new series called Must Be The Music on the ff.n profile. Here are the details:

RATINGS/WARNINGS: Rated pg-13 for language
SUMMARY: Wanda tries to come to terms with the memories she lost. Will the people around her (including dear old dad) help… or will they only make it worse? (Here’s a hint—she’s tougher than all of them put together.)
DISCLAIMER: I didn't invent the X-Men, and I have nothing to do with Evolution. If you somehow think I do: Thanks for the compliment, mislaid thought it may be.

These stories will be written in chronological order beginning a few months after the end of TTW. Some will happen simultaneously, but I’ll let you know if that’s the case. For the most part they’re completely stand alone.

Thicker Than Water's Chapter 18 is up! That means, you got it, it's all over!

There are not plans to start the sequel any time soon-- but there will be plenty to come on Fallen Angels, my joint venture with Sue Penkivech. Word up.

Also, I posted random 1602 stuff last week. Ficathon was fun times!

Game On!

(That's enough with the exclamation points, I think. Yes?)

Random ass update about me:

I've been really sick, to save you a big long spiel about headaches, dentist appointments and possibly cricket bats. I apologize for the wait time on this-- I know I said I'd be back on it but... yeah. It's not going to be like last time, honest ;)

/JP in the infirmary icon! Zap~

Update (after all these years)

2006-06-25T15:49:11Z

Right. I updated Thicker Than Water. I said I would and I did, dammit! It's honestly almost done, just another chapter or two now. Thanks to anyone who still watches this journal, I'm back on it now!

Random notes!

2004-11-22T16:53:40Z

Project Bayville has some open spots, mes amis. Toad (*sniff* he needs LOVE!!!), Amara, Roberto... good stuff! Soon we'll have Jeanne-Marie, Lorna, and Jono coming up too-- in a week or so. If you're bored, come try your hand.

In other news, more JP/Pietro awesomeness from teh Blaze, who is godly. Bow down. <3

Art!!!

2004-09-03T19:00:07Z

Bow down and worship Blaze who hath drawn this for Thicker Than Water! (and stuff...)

... I will now bear your children.

How can someone draw them how I write them!!!? Guh! <3

New crap!

2004-08-18T06:28:47Z

So, we also have an account at http://www.fanfiction.net/~wingsexandthecity, but this is where Jen and I are putting our Jean/Warren in the mean time, while we wait for ff.n's stupid waiting period thing to be over:

Wonderwall

I love the bitterness her Jean/Scott fans are giving her over it. It's like the end of the world man, Jeannie likes someone new! I've always said she shoulda picked Warren in the first place...

Those of you who know how little I like Jean will be surprised. But then, you've not met Jen's Jean. She's a badass. Straight up :D

Thicker than Water Is on ch 11 now though. Writing and writing and writing...

Random ass update ahoy!

2004-06-15T10:18:50Z

1. Thicker Than Water is now on Chapter Nine. Wuwu.

2. Fallen Angels is on issue #7.

But on to my main point, which is...

3. Project Bayville, the RP goodness, is moving along swimmingly. However, the plot hasn't gotten started yet, and we still need a Todd, Jamie, Ray, Roberto, Freddy, and Dorian. Also totally open for sale are Warren and Evan (though they're optional, they could be pretty integral if someone wanted them). And as of tonight, we need a Scott.

You know you want to play with us. ;)

beaubier @ 2004-04-26T00:15:00

2004-04-26T04:22:14Z

First off, I've decided to try my hand at the old RP. And it's pretty damn fun. I have Wanda and Alex over at Homo Inferior, and Evo RP run by Crimson Obsession and Idgiebay. It's been fun thus far, though the plot hasn't started quite yet. We're all just feeling out our characters. It doesn't require a huge time-commitment, it's relaxed, and the people are cool. It's got a personal journal side to it, and then the RP threads. Both have been entertaining.

For something a little more structured, with less of a personal journal feeling and more of a straight-up board RP (yes, totally inspired my Left Turn, if you know what I'm talking about, which is amazing), Taekwondodo and I decided to get another RP up and running, since we have time for both, as it turns out. It can be found here, at Project Bayville, and we're pretty much ready to start filling in slots. Game won't get going for a few weeks, but we're looking for a pretty real commitment, time-wise and effort wise. Not as laid back, but it should turn out some seriously quality fic, in the end. Pass it on, apply, whatever. I'm Pietro there! Andwon'tthatjustbesofun?!

Iceman No More

2004-03-24T16:15:23Z

The new issue of Fallen Angels took the fucking cake. Even Sue and I are happy with it. Go here, to ff.n and have a look, if interested. It's the conclusion of our two-parter about Bobby's secondary mutation. Bring in a "visit" from Weapon X, A new member (their last) coming into the fold, and a JP-Bobby-Kitty triangle that hurts the soul (not to mention the five other triangles developing, in house drama for the Angels abounds!) and you've got two fun-filled issues...

Either way, enjoy. 'Cause we did.

That said, the Fallen Angels now have their own site! All the issues are up there, if you hate ff.n. As some people do. and pretty pictures!

Thanks to people who are giving me submissions for The Beaubier Files. I've had a hell of a weekend, complete with visits from various and sundry old friends. So not much has gotten done. Oh, but it will! Thank you. Much love -Beaubier-

Help me?

2004-03-17T00:56:37Z

First up, there is a new issue of Fallen Angels up, and I think it's likely our best.

Second, I'm getting together a website, and I need some help. Give me links to your favorite Northstar/Aurora related sites, fics, etc. Hell, give me your own fic, and I'll put it up with mine, if you like. Give me your drawings. Give me anything. I just think it's about damn time Northstar and Aurora have their own site that isn't just broken links. And so I give you...

TITLE: Fallen Angels
AUTHOR: Sue Penkivech/Beaubier
AUTHOR'S E-MAIL: PenkivechBeaubier@hotmail.com
FANDOM: X-Men 616
PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: Just let us know
CATEGORY: Drama/Action/Adventure
RATINGS/WARNINGS: Rated pg-13
SUMMARY: A new team rises from the widespread unrest amongst the X-Men. Northstar, Iceman, Husk, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee take off in search of Aurora, and rather than coming back, decide to start their own outfit in Chicago. These are the stories of their adventures– the others they pick up along the way, their friendships, their loves, their losses, and the super-villain butt they kick.
DISCLAIMER: Sue Penkivech and Beaubier have nothing to do with the X-Men. They just like to pretend that they do.
NOTES: We picked our favorites, we rescued them from their present teams, and we made them our own. This is an ongoing series, we try and turn out at least one a month, but do more any time we can. Thus far, we have two issues up. We've only just begun.

Welcome to our Dream Team, the Fallen Angels:

Jean-Paul Beaubier-- NORTHSTAR-- agitation of molecules in his body to create super-speed, flight, or blinding flashes of light. Sometimes all at once, if he's feeling saucy. The bastard.

Bobby Drake-- ICEMAN-- sub-thermal control of water molecules in the air, as well as in both organic and inorganic materials. Who knew he was such a badass? Definitely not him. The joker.

Paige Guthrie-- HUSK-- ability to change the lower layers of her skin in density, and shed her epidermis to reveal a new form. Great party trick. The conscience.

Jubilation Lee-- JUBILEE-- emits firework like charges from her hands at will that can stun or burn her opponent, and which make a nice light show. The heart.

Kurt Wagner-- NIGHTCRAWLER-- Ability to teleport through another dimension, increased agility, and really cool fur, ears, teeth, and prehensile tail. The fearless leader/swashbuckling ladies man.

Kitty Pryde-- SHADOWCAT-- Can phase herself and anything she touches through solid matter and cause electronic interference. Intangible ninja computer tech- talk about a resume item. The techie.

??-- ?-- The angst.

Thicker Than Water

2004-02-21T19:36:38Z

TITLE: Thicker than Water
AUTHOR: Beaubier
AUTHOR'S E-MAIL: xbeaubier@hotmail.com
FANDOM: X-Men: Evolution
PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: Why not, eh? Just drop a line.
CATEGORY: Drama/Action/Adventure
RATINGS/WARNINGS: Rated pg-13 for language, violence and adult themes.
SUMMARY: Aurora and Northstar, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, the Brotherhood, the X-Men, the Acolytes. Alliances are tested, ties are cut, and siblings might find out if blood really is thicker than water. Third fic in a series, but can stand alone, if necessary.
DISCLAIMER: I didn't invent the X-Men, and I have nothing to do with Evolution. I'm sure that's been made abundantly clear by this time.
NOTES: In Relativity, the Beaubiers came to Xavier’s. In Here Comes Trouble, they made friends, made enemies, played jokes, had a laugh, felt love, felt pain, and got to know each other and their new surroundings. And here, everything they’ve learned, about each other, about love, about life, is put to the test. This fic revolves around the Beaubier twins, as well as the Maximoff twins, equally. Other major players will include Warren, Scott, Jean, Rogue, Remy, Kurt, and Bobby. And possibly more.

TITLE: Here Comes Trouble
AUTHOR: Beaubier
AUTHOR'S E-MAIL: xbeaubier@hotmail.com
PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: Yeah, lemme know
CATEGORY: General/Humor
RATINGS/WARNINGS: Rated R for drugs, sex, and rock n roll. Not to mention language.
FANDOM: X-Men: Evolution
SUMMARY: The further adventures of Aurora and Northstar at the Xavier Institute. Featuring Shadowcat, Scarlet Witch, Sunspot, Quicksilver, Rogue, Berserker, Avalanche, and… loads of other mutants. Nicotene, caffeine, alcohol, finger-sucking, soccer, clubbing, Mary Jane, and that's only by story six! Sequel to Relativity.
DISCLAIMER: I didn’t invent the X-Men, and I have nothing to do with Evolution. I’m sure that’s been made abundantly clear by this time.
NOTES: The sequel to "Relativity"—a self-indulgent excuse for me to release the plot bunnies that were dying to run amok while I was writing it. Mostly silly, sometimes sad, generally just a fluffy bit of fun. No overreaching plot here, just a few stories of mischief. Each can pretty much stand alone.

PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: Mmmhmmm
CATEGORY: General
RATINGS/WARNINGS: PG-13 for lots of language, references to drinking.
FANDOM: X-Men: Evolution
SUMMARY: The Xavier Institute, post-Ascension, gets an infusion of new blood as Aurora and Northstar join the X-Men. A plot against Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch is revealed. Drama, adventure, romance, angst and laughter ensue. Sometimes all at once.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Northstar, Aurora, or any of the mutants herein. Nor do I own any of the humans. Or the places. Or the songs. Or really, much of anything at all.
NOTES: For those of you not familiar with my tastes, I am a massive Northstar fan. Been reading lots of Evo fic lately, been watching the show for quite a long time… figured I’d have a go at throwing them all together. If anyone wants to know which bits were inspired by actual cannon, email me. I can give ya issue numbers. I’m being derivative here, and I’m not pretending otherwise ;) This story takes place in the summer after the events of Ascension I and II. About a month later.

TITLE: The Xperiment
AUTHOR: Beaubier
AUTHOR'S E-MAIL: xbeaubier@hotmail.com
PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: You’re joking, right?
CATEGORY: Humor/Romance
RATINGS/WARNINGS: Rated R, adult situations. Yes, all of these pairings are utterly, completely homosexual. They are also horrifically ooc. Lots implied, not much is actually said, however. If you are a literal Biblical Christian, skip chapter 3. It’s not offensive to anyone else, but certain of you may find it to be so.
SUMMARY: The 5 funniest, or strangest pairings I could come up with, from Uncanny or Xtreme X-Men teams at the moment. Includes Cannonball, Iceman, Jubilee, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Sage, Northstar, Husk, Archangel, and Rogue. Not necessarily in that order.
DISCLAIMER: None of these characters are mine. They belong to Marvel. I’m sure they’re particularly happy about that, right now.
NOTES: I admit it, slash rather fascinates me. This is a bit of a joke, in case you hadn’t noticed, because I’m well aware that none of it would happen. In fact, I purposely made the pairings less and less believable, coming up with the strangest ones I could. It was something of a challenge to myself. Starts out almost possible, ends up simply ludicrous. The characterizations are caricatures. Some seem a bit serious, but it’s all in good fun. I was just curious, if I could pull it off.
Turns out, I can’t, really.
Ah well, I had a laugh anyhow.

Illusion

TITLE: Illusion
AUTHOR: Beaubier
AUTHOR'S E-MAIL: xbeaubier@hotmail.com
PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: Sure, send me a link while you’re at it.
CATEGORY: Drama/Action
RATINGS/WARNINGS: This is now rated R, but not for anything in these first chapters. They’re fairly wholesome, as fics go. Things get more and more disturbing, violent, and sexually explicit as the story progresses however. Bear in mind, it’s a story about a gay man, so yes, that means “slash” at one point. It has it’s function, so try and be open minded, but consider yourself warned. This is not a slashfic, more of a… psychological thriller, dramatic type of tale.
SUMMARY: Jean-Paul finds himself the victim of a strange mutant called Maya. Nightmares and insomnia plaguing him, he must find a way to break free of her influence.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Northstar. Pity. Nor do I own any of the other X-Men. I’m not making any money. I swear.
NOTES: This is starting out fairly happy and all, but it’s probably going to get quite dark before it’s over. Just another JP fic from your friendly neighborhood obsessee. Will try and update a few times a week, until it’s all over. And I’ve no idea how long that will take, but I’m sure I will feel quite accomplished by the end. Mad props go to Sue Penkivech who once again braved my rough draft so no one else would have to. Worlds best beta.

TITLE: Superhero
AUTHOR: Beaubier
AUTHOR'S E-MAIL: xbeaubier@hotmail.com
PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: Ask and ye shall receive.
CATEGORY: Drama/Angst
RATINGS/WARNINGS: Some nasty language, mild violence.
SUMMARY: Northstar has been at Xavier’s for awhile now, and he’s starting to feel more comfortable in his role with the X-men. He and Nightcrawler are sent off to contain a small “disturbance” created by a few mutant teens in West Virginia, and he finds himself coming face to face with a few old demons.
DISCLAIMER: The X-men are clearly, not mine. Lucky for them. The original character, Bullet Time, is also not mine, but a creation of a good friend of mine who as kindly lent him to me. Thanks, Geoff.
NOTES: My sincerest thanks to Sue Penkivech, for picking up on my not-so-subtle request for a beta reader on this, my first go at a serious fic. Without her, this would make even less sense. (if you haven’t read her “Just a couple of kids, after all,” you should. It’s brilliant.) This is my attempt to present Northstar as the hero I think he is, and to explain why I think he deserves the adulation. As formerly noted, the character Bullet Time belongs to my friend Geoff, and Jake is a mutant I invented, for the purposes of this story. I do not speak French, let alone Québécois, so feel free to correct, and/or add to anything I’ve tried to throw in to add a little credibility to his roots. The lyrics are all from songs by the Manic Street Preachers. Because they produce the best lyrics. Hands down. No contest. This will be a few chapters, likely not more than five or six, however.

TITLE: Circle of Death
AUTHOR: Beaubier
AUTHOR'S E-MAIL: xbeaubier@hotmail.com
PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: Are you serious?
CATEGORY: Humor, general screwing off
RATINGS/WARNINGS: R for language, heavy on the alcohol, mild adult innuendo.
SUMMARY: Bobby’s feeling grouchy, Kurt is trying to lighten him up. Some of the X-team stop by and end up playing a classic drinking game. Iceman, Nightcrawler, Archangel, Husk, Northstar, and Havok all need a break from the Chuck Austen induced drama.
DISCLAIMER: Characters are clearly not mine. Don’t complain if you don’t like my Circle of Death rules. Everyone plays it differently, this is just the way I do it.
NOTES: Yes, I was bored. I don’t normally like to play cards, but I do like the occasional drinking game. The idea of the Uncanny crew on their day off sitting around playing an old college favorite made me laugh, so I scribbled it down. Mild ooc stuff here, as I really can’t imagine that some of them would be talked into such a thing, but hell, it’s fun anyhow. I suppose it takes place rather recently, before The Draco storyline in Uncanny, since I’m using the characters who were around for that, mostly.
