The Tyranny of Socks

For kristen_k2, spican and muridae_x, Krycek in New Haven. I couldn't bring myself to send him to Yale, and I'd like spican to attest that I really can write Krycek stories that are not grim as death.

I wanted to put Dee in, just for Kristen, but this was a good end-point.

I'll figure out a title later on; this is (pretty obviously) without beta, and so please do point out errors or inconsistencies. And Krycek doesn't always know the name of things.

One of the things that can make a fic stand out for me is a clear sense of place--the level of detail that moves a locale from generic to specific. And that's something that I have a lot of trouble with: I tend to indicate place with a few sketchy details, and I don't usually set stories in places where I've spent significant amounts of time. I want to try to do something about this, so I'm offering the following. Under the cuts are (first) a list of places I've lived, or spent enough time to find them familiar, and (second) a list of fandoms I write or would write. Pick a character, pick a location, and I'll try to write you a scene.

I figure that this will give me some structured writing to do over the vacation.
