The fic fire sale is progressing nicely, and anyone fancying a fic should stake a claim now. I feel several months' worth of inspiration bubbling to get out. It may end up as diamonds, it may end up as coal. Whatever.

For __marcelo , Firfley, River at Kaylee and Simon's wedding: Dajin.

For bluerosefairy , Alias, Jack/Irina, queen: Ode to Normalcy.

For watergal , Deadwood, Jane/Bill, worship: Blind Faith.

It's reveal day at the remix house! *dances* Firstly, a great big THANK YOU!!! to selenak who was my remixer, and wrote the splendiferous Burial Ground (The Rambaldi Remix), which gave me shivers. I sorta guessed it was her, actually, 'cause, well, it sounded like her (& how many other people are gonna play with Sloadney??), so, clearly I am win.

Things to cover in this v. exciting post: many things. Many, many things. get a cup of tea, for I shall be waffling for a bit. Nay, a lot. Comfy? Then let us begin:

MULTIVERSE FIC

Nope, I'm not doing Multiverse this year. But you should, 'cause it's great fun. Instead, I took one of the unfulfilled requests from previous years and wrote a quick ficlet for it. Just 'cause I can.

Title: Object Recognition
Request: #122 River Tam (Firefly) & Sharon Valerii (BSG 2003)
Summary: She's one of the old models, River can tell that much from sight alone.

I've really disappointed at the low volume of feedback for remix this year, with most stories barely registering as a blip. Come people, get out there and comment!

Harry Potter:
- Dudley Dursley and the Hogwarts Letter (the Top of the Pops Remix) by kindkit
I think I'm a little in love with this story. I like HP stories looking at some of the forgotten, ignored characters, and this one presents a really interesting look at Dudley. It's an AU - a 'what if it was the Dursleys who died, not the Potters' - and it's fabulous.

Babylon 5:
- Love (The Many Splendoured Mix) by leyenn
I guessed it was leyenn! *g* The I/T gave it away. This is wonderful, a very fun outsider POV looking at love in its many forms on B5.

ST:VOY:
- Power Corrupts (The Absolute Absolution Remix) by alara_r
Kes is on trial before the Continuum for an act - of revenge? Or self-protection? Or something else entirely... This story is fabulous, completely in character, and made my P/Q-loving heart jump for joy.

The X-Files:
- All in the Waiting (The Silent Funeral Overture) by rynne
Mulder/Scully, post-Requiem. He wills her to wait for him. Soft and lovely.

All done! *falls over*

Balance (1/1)
(double drabble)

Summary: Zoe contemplates sacrifice. Spoilers for the movie, I guess.

( Read more... )



Yeah, well, that was just a tiny wee little drabble that just struck me, and seeing as how I've never written Zoe (and don't imagine myself to understanding her) it's probably wildly OOC. Oh, well.

I am now de-wired, at least, and not a moment too soon. Predictably, heart behaved like a dream when it was being monitored, and started kicking up a fuss the moment they took the wires off. *rolls eyes* The doctor said that this is what always happens, so they'll book me in again for another round of tests if these don't show anything up. Oh, the joys! /sarcasm.

athena25 has been cheering me up with tales of The Man Who Is Vexed By Spoons, which is a funny and true tale of inanimate objects versus the world. (The inanimate objects won)

In other news, I have failed to do revision. exams in two days (again). Stupid heat.

Stuff recently written but not posted here:

like champagne on a maiden voyage (the Hollywood Remix)
a remix of 'This Thing Called Life' by poisontaster for remix_redux.
Fandom: X-Men
Summary: You can't sip at life.

numerology
written for jennyo for femslash06
Fandom: Firefly / BSG
Summary: In the language of the Lords of Kobol, eight is an inauspicious number.

So, that's good. I'm also dead chuffed with my multiverse2004 assignment as I have a million and one ideas and one particular one that makes me all glowy inside. Of course, as luck would have it, I've settled on one of the fandoms I don't actually have kicking around on DVD, but the wonders of Azureus have solved all my tv-deprived problems.

Mmmmm, raspberry scones. Tonight, matthew, I was spoiled rotten by athena25 who also did the gardening. Sleepy time now...

Cannot make any WIP actually progress. It's becoming more like a list of WOPs (works on pause) rather than a list of WIPs. *sigh*

At any rate, I polished up something that had been kicking around in my notebook for a bit. It's my first attempt at Firefly fic, so you are not allowed to laugh. Constructive criticism is always welcome, tho.

This wee thing is set between 'Ariel' and 'War Stories', so spoilers and speculation for those.

Also? Constructive criticism. Don't make me beg. *chews lower lip*
