So, did I mention that cuddy_fest is now open for business?

I can't believe this is the third year of the fest. It feels like just a few days ago when I said, 'We should have a Cuddy fic fest. I'm just saying.' And ijemanja and hihoplastic said 'OMG yes!'—and even agreed when I said that I had an irresistible urge to call it 'She's the Boss'—and that's how it all started. And now it's the third round. ( lengthy navel-gazing on our awesomeness )

* Hey guys, have you heard about this Cuddy fest thing going on? You probably have, but let me tell you about it again anyway:

cuddy_fest!

Shiny fic prompts!
Cuddy/Amber - desperate administrative need
Western AU. Cuddy as inkeeper/bartender. (Gen/het/slash)
Missing scenes: Post Human Error, Cuddy hires Chase and Cameron to work for her at PPTH.
One thing that happens when Cuddy drinks? She dances! (and pretty damn well, actually)
Cuddy/Foreman - No strings attached.
and many, many more...

Shiny Art Prompts!

You know you want to...

I'm particularly pleased with the fact that people have been claiming art prompts. We were worried that it wouldn't work, but people are coming to play, and that makes me happy. I'm also happy with the gen and House/Cuddy claims. But you know what would make me happier? Cuddy/Other people, and MOAR genfic. Please? *bats eyelashes*

* roga met David Shore and then wrote an awesome write-up of the event. No juicy spoilers for S5, I'm afraid, but a lot of interesting stuff about Jewishness on the show, among other things.

* Mary McDonell did a wonderful interview with Zap2it, where she says nice things about Laura and Lee and Adama. (delle, you must read it!) This bit made me laugh: ( snip )

* Iron Man fandom, you are made of awesome. Thank you for all the Pepperlove. ♥

* The other day I read Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things. I've been meaning to read it for ages; I have high regard for Roy - I've met her in person and read her non-fiction (and while I think much of her politics is posturing, you cannot deny the power of her political writings), and I had been seriously looking forward to reading this. And I was seriously... underwhelmed. ( thoughts on the dysfunctional )

The after-effects of drunken all-night revelry aren't nearly as much fun as the said revelry. It was some revelry, though. My head, it still spins.

This is entry #1 for the cuddy_fest. No, I have no other prompt to finish. None at all. Why do you ask?

Title: Between Walls
Author: swatkat24
Fandom: House, M.D
Pairing: Gen
Rating: PG, I guess
Words: 1610
Summary: She's not a vapid celebrity and she doesn't care to play God, doesn't have delusions of saving the world – no matter what House likes to think. But it's an idea.
A/N: Set after 3.18, ‘Airborne’; spoilers through S3. Title from this poem by William Carlos Williams. Despite Coherence Issues, this was not actually written under intoxication. Your thoughts would be cherished.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Playing.


( she’s not a vapid celebrity and she doesn’t care to play God, doesn’t have delusions of saving the world – no matter what House likes to think )

Now is the time for claiming of prompts at cuddy_fest. Sample prompts include:

Five places Cuddy walked in on House and Wilson making out.

Cuddy used to be a man. No, really. Bonus points if it's a Transamerica crossover.

Cuddy/Cameron Together they fight crime, among other things. Take that as you will

Cuddy/Chase. Hooker!AU. In which Chase is the hooker. Bonus points for pimp!House.

House/Wilson/Cuddy. "Not in my hospital."

Pirateverse. Pirate Queen Cuddy/Peg Leg Greg - But why is the rum gone?
