Harley Quinn

Create your badge

In honour of the one year anniversary of my meta website: JokerxHarley being online, I have, with my fabulous cohort in crime zhinxy, written a little essay dedicated to this wonderful pairing:
A Monster and His Bride

I'm really especially proud of the work zhinxy and I have done on this piece so I hope you might all read it and enjoy it and even leave some feedback if you so desire!

I've been feeling very sensitive about my ship lately and reading just about anything to do with them has got me all teary-eyed - this essay, Mad Love, Joker, Mightier Than The Sword - you name it. Tomorrow out comes Gotham City Sirens - Harley rising up while Mistah J has been put down - so it's a both exciting and emotional time. So it was super-awesome to get two pieces of really amazing feedback today that really lifted me up. One of them was a private email but the second one is here. I just have to say again a huge thank you to both those people as you really helped give me a lift today and I'm so grateful!

<3

WELL! HOW interesting!

I write a lovely, descriptive, detailed, graphic cunnilingus fic sans cruelty, violence and bloodshed(and who says JxH is unfeminist?) and all but a handful of crickets chirp...

I write a nasty, dark, brutal dub-con fic filled with pain and emotional torment and ALL OF YOU CRAWL OUT OF THE WOODWORK?


You're all disgusting, dirty, twisted, sadistical perverts.


I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!


:D



Seriously, I am pretty chuffed at the steady response 'Relentless' is getting and it confirms my belief you're not in this fandom unless you're kinky as all get out. It's so affirming to be surrounded by like-minded perverts! <3

Title: Relentless
Author: Princess Bee
Rating: NC-17
Status: Complete
Characters: Joker and Harley Quinn
Pairings: JokerxHarley :)
Genre: Smut, ECP, erotica, drama, darkfic
Prompt: 60: ravage
Warnings: very rough sex, dub-con

Summary: Another chapter in the "PWP". Mistah J is the insatiable one for a change, and uh, that turns out to be scarier than Harley expected.

This, this may be one of those ones only I get. I mean, I HOPE it's not, but I'm preparing myself for the possibility. I think it's sexy though I know it's pretttyyy dark. I'm also aware it's totally over the top. That's a code by which I live my life, really. OTTness. I'm someone who takes sex very seriously and yet simultaneously doesn't take it seriously at all. How can I? It's too ridiculous. Yet it's hot, too especially when it's all dark and scary! So it's sort of – I hope it is erotic yet at the same time I know it's over the top and I really don't mind if people laugh at it, because to be honest, I often laugh at my porn when I reread it, even if I also go: oh YES that's sexy.

(One day soon I'ma gonna write something a little more light-hearted again)

My head is literally bubbling with ideas, I just seem to have so much trouble getting started at the moment. It'll happen! Probably the fandom needs a break from me anyway! XD

On that, alocin42 writes some extremely cute, light fics. I'm jealous actually, as more playful lightness is something I'd love to achieve in more of my fics. I've always loved the homey, comfortable, yet twisted and bizarre exchanges Joker and Harley have together and she achieves it very well.

However, in this post I'd like to share some of the beautiful fan art I've received to accompany my fics. This is always a real joy! :D

"Oooh Mistah J" by JollyVenturer was illustrated to accompany my fic, "Sold".

"Hi Pammy" by Lady-Dulcinea was illustrated to accompany "Quality Time".

"Arkham Surveillance Footage" and "EYYYYYYY" by rachelo were illustrated to accompany "Snuff".

Aren't they all stunning? Love them, so much! <3

Title: Tete-a-Tete
Universe: DCU/DCAU
Satus: Complete
Genre: Erotica
Rating: NC17
Characters: The Joker, Harley Quinn
Pairings: JokerxHarley
Warnings: Graphic sexual content
Summary: Basically I decided there just wasn't enough oral sex in my smut fics and I thought that was sad because I figure Mistah J would be right into it. That's all.
Prompt: 59: lick

I'VE FINALLY DONE IT! I've got some new material out. Okay, I've got the guilts cos it's also just smut so hardly anything D&M but HELL. The warming up is the hardest part. Maybe things will start to flow again.

I get lots and lots of deliciously perverse and naughty ideas for these two, but not always a plot to frame them within. Finally I figured - fah! Who needs a plot!

In that spirit, I'm starting a series of PWP smut ficlets, ranging in degrees of overt kinkiness to subtle.

Writing this made me really antsy.

TETE-A-TETE

Reviews, feedbacks and concrit here or at JokerxHarley.Net. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Welcome to the new people. :) Thank you for joining me... and I promise I will have something done soon. The wheels have been turning, I've just been occupied in so many other directions of late. Most of my fannish energy has been focused on cosplay related stuff and I don't seem able to divide my fandom focus - it's always fixed on one main thing! heh.

Anyway, I know this is horribly egotistical of me, but I have this compulsion to continue recording here some of the most touching feedback I receive. I love writing and I love these characters and one of the loveliest things about writing fanfiction about them is being able to bring pleasure to other fans - to create something other fans can enjoy. Any artist will tell you part of the pleasure of creation is the power you have in evoking emotion in the audience and whilst fanfiction may be a tawdry, simple and cheap artform, it's always created by and for those with a passion...

Anyway, I'm rambling and getting airy-fairy so I'd best move on. I just wanted to say thank you, thank you VERY much to everyone who reads and enjoys, whether they leave feedback or not, but also to these people for leaving feedback that so revealed what you got out of my work, because it's one of the best feelings in the world to read it. It means a lot, it strokes my ego, it just creates a wonderful sense of community and collusion as well... and YES IT VALIDATES ME! I HAS VALIDATIONS ON TEH INTERTOOBS! IT'S ALL ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!! ;)


Arkham Asylum: Tainted Love:

I've just finished this fiction and, um... (words, hmm, need better words!)... what can I say? It's absolutely fantastic. A truly delightful read. I've come to believe that your writings and versions of the Joker/Harley relationship are the 'real' story (in comparison to Paul Dini etc.'s versions, which are now just really, really good stories.) Congrats.

It is pretty special to have someone have so strong a reaction because I think the majority of us agree Dini's handling is sacrosanct! Not that I actually believe I trump the Master himself, but I like hearing this sort of stuff!! ;)

First Time:

Lady, you write seriously outstanding, absolutely top-notch smut. Really, truely, stupendously great smut.
From what I know about the Batverse (not too much), your take on the characters feels just right. My guess is you should probably be authoring these comics yourself.
And I think I did mention about the smut...

Smut seems to be my forte. Should I find this depressing? I don't know. I love writing smut! :) And I love being told I should be writing the comics! <3

Reading all of your work makes me want to crawl inside of your delightful brain and drown myself, only so that I could die in pure genuis blissful amazingness.

XD

Soliloquy:

And all this time HaHaHarley was simply waiting for that ending, that perfect ending, which makes the whole story so wonderful. All that time of sobbing uncontrollably, only stopping when I can't see the screen anymore and screaming "But she does love him! SHE DOES!"
There really was a sense of waiting, of wanting to stop reading because it's too sad, but being drawn back inevitably like a moth to the flame, all the way through this story. You can't stop reading because you're waiting faithfully, because you just know that it's going to be worth it, that it's going to happen and when it does you can't help but laugh aloud with joy! The perfection of Him makes any waiting worthwhile.

Yeah, you know, I'm bowled over by having someone have that strong a reaction. I LOVE IT. It's an honour and it's gratifying and it's powerful.

Oh my god. I cried and I laughed and I stayed up 'til midnight reading this when I needed to get to bed. I have an ache in my stomache and a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Just amazing. I've read a bunch of your stories by now, but you really, really outdid yourself with this one.

Same as above. If I can make someone cry, then oh wow, then I'm beyond ecstatic.

I love this chapter so much.
You write as if you've lived it.
The last part about intimacy I completely relate to.
Brilliant.

Hm. Yes. That may be because I have, to a point. I consider that to be extremely high praise, if it resonates to that intensity.

One Evening:

I'm still crying. I'm trying to find the words. I don't know who I feel more for.
I cried for Harley as her face was being beaten and her knee was being smashed.
I cried for Joker as he cried either with remorse or grief.
I cried when he made her hot chocolate and the gesture did speak louder than words. (Very clever!)
I cried when they made passionate love - without his usual foreplay.
I cried when he snapped back and he was "evil" again.
I laughed when he got the last word with a joke!
All these feelings. Why do you do it to us?!
I'm still not completely sure why he was crying. Not cos you you didn't explain it. But cos it's not determined in my own head. Was it for Jeannie? Or for Harley? In a lapse, he said Jeannie. He beat Harley. He's not a woman-batterer, but he's exacting his dominance. She said 'Eddie's' and it arose such anger within him. She knew this would make him so angry cos she's his, no-one else's. She could have protected herself, stopped him from hurting her. But she didn't. She's strong. But it's like she let him do it. She has nowhere to go now. She can't. Mentally and now physically. "Oh well, better stay here.."
He was forced to give in to that one about Jeannie. She might have one up on him, so he has to restore the balance.
Then he cries, cos he feels bad? Or cos he lost everything and turned into this evil monster? He brings her ice but throws it anywhere. She revells in the attention he's paying her. If she'd just kept quiet, she wouldn't be the object of his attention. She's wearing them with pride. As if he's showing SOME kind of remorse. Or just marvelling at his art..
He makes her laugh. Then it's like nothing happened.
Then he makes love to her cos she's his woman, they've made up, then he coddles her like a child. Then he's evil again cos it's like, "It's over! It's done! We're back! Give it over! I did it! Aren't you happy enough?!"
My head is a mess! Was this your intention? Lol. I'm so confused! Grrrr!!!!

This comment is love. Again, making someone cry - it's a heady power. I shamelessly relish it and am grateful as well.

I loved it. I loved all the emotions that spewed out periodically. I tried counting them; I ran out of fingers, haha. This was just simply wonderful. It made me love them even more, if that's possible. Please, never stop writing.

:D
Two-Bits:

I've never been so scared while reading anything! God, that was, frightening and sick and hot and oh god I was actually afraid to cough =) I was really on the edge of my seat =)

My taste for kink runs to spankings and such, light stuff but this.. This fits so well into their slightly psychotic relationship..

You write them so well, it reads like a movie. So realistic and so very true to character, it was amazing, all your stuff are.

Hee! XD I love scaring people too. And really, how much higher praise can you get than "true to character"? Though props to zhinxy for this too, as she was a contributor to that fic!!!

By His Hand:

You know what makes this piece particularly amazing? It's the fact that my own mind sees how twisted Joker's treatment of Harley is, yet at the same time I understand that it's necessary for her (which is probably even more twisted!). Harley is at the point where being comforted in the traditional "healthy" manner would do absolutely nothing for her. It's sick, yet I understand why it functions. I can only imagine how unhappy Harley would be if she were ever truly rehabilitated. It's a dysfunctional, unhealthy relationship, but she's happy. I end up in circles all day just thinking about it.

There are few writers out there who really understand their dynamic. You're definitely one of them.

:)


Yeah, this post was pure self-indulgence. It makes me feel good. I'm sorry, I know it's kinda shamefully egotistical. But being part of something like this, in this way... it's just an uplifting feeling and getting this feedback means so much to me. <3

Generally, I avoid posting fics here until I've finished them.

But since my productivity is down at the moment and this is something a little different, since it's a collaboration between myself and another fanfic author!

It's called Surreal TV.

The basic premise is that Joker is scooped up to be on a reality TV show alongside a rich, spoilt heiress and there seems to be something very real growing between them. The whole superhero/villain world is taken by storm... except Harley. Who is adjusting to a brand new life in Metropolis complete with a brand new BOYFRIEND!

What whacky hijinks will ensue?

Jarec, my co-author, is handling the Joker chapters and I'm handling the Harley ones. So, I'm really challenging myself here, writing Harley with someone else! AND IT AIN'T EASY!!

Actually, fleshing out Harley's world beyond the Joker and seeing her through other people's eyes is a lot of fun and really, really reminds me why I love her.

But beyond that, the story is heaps of fun as Jarec has some of the most fabulous and entertaining ideas!

SO GO AND READ IT! RIGHT NOW!


(and review!)

Well, I've had a looooooooooooooong break, having not produced any fanfiction at all since early January.

I didn't intentionally take a break - I just got occupied in other pursuits and interests and obligations. But I think the break has been good for me!

I've been thinking I need to get back in the game. It was a daunting prospect at first, but opening up my folder of Jxhq writings and beginning to refresh my memory, dust off the cobwebs, and I feel the stirrings of excitement.

The thing is, I've got dozens of ideas left to write and I'm not sure where to get started. That's where I'd like you guys to help out!

Here's a few ideas I've got. Please let me know which one you're most interested in!

ECP: First time anal between them. It'll be nasty and not so sweet, but very hot and heavy and intense. Set after their reunion in the Harley Quinn debut one-shot.
Las Vegas Road Trip: I'm thinking it's their anniversary, as far as Harley's concerned, and they're causing chaos and strife in Vegas. Will have kinky smut and lots of hijinks.
Harley's first kill: I see this happening somewhere kid-oriented and beautiful and the sensation evoked should be that of a child ripping the wings off a fly
Scarecrow gas: Joker using the gas on Harley for kicks. It just occurs to me though: would he use another Rogue's schtick? This one would end up fairly dark.
Harley and Bats: This one would be around how Joker always ditches her when the Batcrew show up and somehow Batman would have to make some realisation that Joker knows she's safe with them. But I don't think Harley should peg that.
Romance: Joker dumps Harley after she disappoints him in front of Batman and so she goes on a series of twisted crimes to win him back. This would also be perverse.


Hrm. I actually think that will do for now. Good grief, I'd forgotten there were so many!

Well, I haven’t produced any new fic recently, but I’ve still got heaps of ideas. Life has just been busy and demanding of late so fandom activities are taking a back seat. I am keen to start producing again - but you know, I think it’s good to give all you patient and gracious people a break, lest you get completely sick of me! ;)

I wanted to post up this email I received recently here, because I was so proud to get it. I have gotten several compliments on my manifesto website: http://www.jokerxharley.com - even a couple of requests to cite it in essays and such. But I really loved this message because this is exactly the sort of person I was hoping to reach out to when I created the site, so that’s an honour.

Princessbee,

I'm just writing to thank you for your superawesome website www.jokerxharley.com.

I'm one of those people who only had vague impressions about what the Batman universe was- I hadn't even heard of the Joker! And then I saw The Dark Knight and nearly had a heart attack. Loved him instantly, for reasons which I understand intimately- but can't seem to explain to anyone who doesn't get it. So, of course, I simply had to learn everything about him. However, disappointingly, nobody seemed to really know all that much...

And then during my researching on the internet I stumbled across this character called Harley Quinn. I was in hysterics, because I'd already invented a very similar character in my head, (after watching TDK for the eighth time), and was ecstatic to realise that the writers had already come up with her.

But everything I was finding said that she was this blonde-bimbo. Just some stupid, childish, punching-bag for the big nasty ol' Joker. I was absolutely heartbroken. Then I found your website Harley's Haven- which lead me to JokerxHarley. I'm trying to find words for how grateful I am for your brilliant site. I've just finished reading the very last word, on the very last page, (although I was distracted for a while by your fanfiction recommendations- an extra thanks for introducing me to the works of MadPuppy, Sno-Chan and Gladrial, among many others, by the way) and I'm so happy that my original impressions were wrong. Once you prompted me to look deeper, I could see that Harley is so much more complex than I ever could of imagined. And so perfect for Mistah J!

I was particularly blown away by the relationship evolution section. It really explained the whole relationship perfectly- totally banishing any straying antagonism towards Harley. It is also wonderful because no matter who I threaten I can't get my hands on any of the comics, all graphic novels have to be ordered from overseas, (which takes forever- I'm still waiting for the first one I ordered) and my youtube doesn't want me to watch the Animated Series- so a billion heartfelt thankyous. *Hugs*

So yeah, I'm rabbiting on a lot... I basically just wanted to give you my sincerest thanks. I kinda really owe my deepening levels of obsession with this fascinating relationship to you. Congrats from converting me from my Gotham hating ways. Also you favourited my one-shot poem on Deviantart. That was nice. *More hugs for you and your awesomeness*

Lots of Love,
HaHaHarley

PS- I'm currently reading the sixteenth chapter of Arkham Asylum: Tainted Love. Your take on Harley's origin story is truly a compelling read. It's hard to find writings that look deeply at the psychological manipulation of Dr Harleen Quinzel. Well-done, it's brilliant. *Squee!*

Well, NaNoWriMo almost completely burned me out fic writing, it must be confessed, to the point the last two drabbles I just linked I kinda feel stray into purple prose territory in the way I have criticised others for!!

I do have a couple of other fics left over from NaNo I'll be posting soon and I'll probably be getting ready to ease back into things now as I still have a frighteningly large list of prompts to get through.

I'd really like to write a Christmas story for them. One that is creepy, twisted and yet touching without being cutesy fluff. But do I have an idea? Of course not.

I shall continue to scheme and plot and hope something fabulous comes to me.

Well, I have completed my 50,000 word goal for nano, and a few days in advance too!

Sadly - I have not completed my prompts tables which I now admit it was possibly overly ambitious of me to attempt to do, working two jobs and maintaining some semblance of a social life this month as well. STILL I did manage to cut through many prompts AND erase many which would simply have become repetitious. I am going to keep working at the prompts through to January and hope I can get them all done.

I do have many more fics completed than I have actually released. I'm trying not to inundate. If I release one a week, I'll have material for months! Heh!
