I wrote Highlander! More to the point, I posted Highlander:

Going forth by day
Methos isn't dead.

Not that I'm slow or anything. no.

Thanks! It was fun to remember how much I like these guys, and I was kind of amazed to realize that it was the first time I managed to put both of them in the same story... *g*

Highlander! Well, as long as you're doing sort of retro stuff... Guah. I feel like I'm being horribly obnoxious. *scuffs toes* I've been a fan of yours for about four years, and even though I know you must have gotten so much feedback about it you're probably a little sick of it, Ghosts was, and remains, the benchmark by which I judge most slash that I read. It converted me to slash, essentially, and-- yes. I am fangirl. (meep).

So, I have discovered that you have a lj, and am nervously posting to say hello, to give my regards and utmost respect, and to ask:

What the hell does "lisitsa" mean, anyway? It is listed in no online dictionaries that I can find, Krycek refuses to give a translation when Mulder asks for one, and I don't want to ask any of my Russian friends for fear that it's something dirty.

Thank you very much.

I am not in any way, shape, or form tired of it. *g* Thank you very much!

Lisitsa is one of the words for fox in Russian, though not the most common one. What I was told by my translator is that it's a feminine noun and a diminutive, and refers more to the archetypal/fairytale fox, which is apparently female in Russia. I wanted something that would be teasing/annoying, that K. might consider amusing but that would become affectionate in spite of his intentions. On the whole, I think I'll stick with languages I know in the future, though; much easier to deal with. *g*
