Author’s notes: For the_girl_20, for the drabble/ficlet meme that I posted the beginning of this month. She asked for Kaylee/Inara fluff. I’m fairly certain this isn’t actually fluff, per se, but it is Kaylee/Inara, which is a feat unto itself. For some reason, I really struggle with Inara (which is why every ( Read more... )

Author’s note: For fewthistle, for the drabble meme from a few weeks ago. The title is from a painting by Umberto Boccioni, though there’s little resemblance between this vignette and his painting.

Don't keel over from shock. This isn't an April Fool's joke that's five months too early. The thing is, I've been thinking about this story for ages now, and I hate not finishing things, and fewthistle's been more than a little pushy in a subtle and refined sort of way (and rightfully so!), and I was finally inspired this weekend to pick this up again ( ( Read more... )

This was a little too long to post in the comment field of my last meme post (I should have known better than to actually claim I would write drabbles!), so it gets its own entry.

wizened_cynic requested Alex only, preferably having to wrangle some small, irritating creature. This story is set post-"Loss", pre-"Ghost" with Alex in Witness Protection.

Because I asked for a drabble/ficlet from wizened_cynic and because I have a ton of work to do that I don't want to do:

The first ten five people to comment on this post get to request a drabble from me. In return, they have to post this meme in their journal. Post all fandoms you’re willing to write for. (I may do more than five if people offer some ( Read more... )

...and, yes, the spelling of 'canon' with one "n" instead of two is intentional, but you're probably wondering what the hell I'm talking about. A while back, I started watching Charlie's Angels straight through from the beginning. I had always enjoyed the show, but had only seen sporadic episodes here and there. Watching the first three seasons ( Read more... )

For weeks now, the sequel to my first 30 Rock fic--the crackified dream-baby rambling that was So I Don't Have to Dream Alone) has been languishing on my hard drive and no amount of wizened_cynic's nagging friendly encouragement has gotten me motivated to finish it. Until last night. Last night when I stayed up until 4 in the morning even though I am sick with ( Read more... )

Hey LJ-world. I just got back from Colorado--depositing my girlfriend in her new home thousands of miles away, and while I have many stories to tell about that hassle of trip (including the missing pod and the overnight stay in O'Hare on the return trip), right now I have a much more selfish motivation for posting.

A month ago, or so, wizened_cynic was so ( Read more... )

Baby crack? Is that like baby gap?
Never mind.

All right. I wrote this story for two reasons. One, because I was absolutely floored by the adorableness of Stephanie March and Tina Fey in the "Blind Date" episode of 30 Rock (I'm a little late on the bandwagon, but so what?). And, two, because I told wizened_cynic I would write her something before she left for ( Read more... )
