Name:	Rose and Lizard Fic

About This Journal

This is the writing journal of

ankaret. At present it is home to my fanfic, most of which is set in the universe of the Kingscote stories by Antonia Forest, though I have branched out into other fandoms on occasion. The list of fics by fandom can now be found here. All the fics can also be found archived in the memories unless I've been slack about getting round to doing it.

I tend to write adventure and light romance, and if the fic gets beyond PG it's because of general darkness, angst, or the presence of psychopaths as driving forces in the story rather than because of smut - I admire people who can write sex scenes well immensely, but it's not one of my skills. 'No smut' does not mean 'no same-sex relationships or feelings', however. :) All fics are complete unless I mention otherwise.

Since a couple of people have asked, there's only one of me - I'm not a writing collective of one person called Rose and another called Lizard. I just like roses and lizards.

I'd Like To Thank The Academy

Actually, I'd like to thank

thewhiteowl for beta reading - if it wasn't for her, there'd be a lot more fox paws than there are in the way of people having the wrong colour eyes and Geoff Marlow being a Commander when he ought to have become a Captain - and everyone who's read or commented or, indeed, both.

Commenting and Friending Policy

This journal is not at home to racists, sexists, homophobes, fatphobes or trolls; if you are any of the above, I can't stop you reading the fic, but kindly don't comment, or I'll ban you.

I've turned on the 'allow anonymous comments' feature - if there's a spate of nastiness I'll turn it off again. Anonymous comments will be screened, not because I don't like or trust the various friends of

trennels who aren't members of LJ, but because, like everyone who's been knocking around the Internet long enough, I've attracted the attentions of a few unbalanced people over the years.

I often don't get around to unscreening anonymous comments for a few days after I get them, particularly if LJ comment notification emails are being patchy, because I have to log out as

ankaret and log in as

rose_and_lizard to do so. If your anonymous comment hasn't shown up, it's probably because of that, and it's not necessary to leave another, panicked 'OMG my comments aren't showing up' comment. I'll get round to unscreening when I get round to to it. Abusive comments will be deleted without being unscreened.

Also, if you're an anonymous commenter, could you please sign yourself something? It's nice to have an idea who I'm talking to, and it can get very confusing when several anonymice are having a conversation in the comments.

Friend me on this journal and I'll friend you back, unless I have a good reason not to, though 95% of what's on this journal is public so you don't get access to super-special fic if you friend me or anything. I tend not to friend people who friend me on the

ankaret account back unless I've at least had a couple of conversations with them on

trennels or in a friend's comments, or whatever, because I don't have time to keep up with the reading list I've already got.

Also, a quick note regarding virtual gifts. I am not interested in receiving virtual gifts, and especially not sponsored ones. Any virtual gifts received will be deleted.

Requests

I am afraid it is not much use making requests for specific things you would like to see in the fic, or for possible future projects; I write fanfic for fun, and I write what I feel like writing. If you have AF plotbunnies, I suggest you write them yourself - the fandom needs more good writers.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the fic as much as I enjoyed writing it.
