I had these two Dead Like Me ficlets that I had written this past summer and I totally forgot to post them so I'm doing it now for anyone who's interested. And the FIC MEME was done today to help spark the muse, but I don't know how successful it was. :)

If you do end up writing PD fic, I will totally read it! So this is me encouraging you to do so! :D

I have never read any form of DLM fiction be it fic, ficlet or drabble. So this was a delightfully new experience. You captuted George wonderfully in the second story and as for the first I like that Mason could be more fond of George than he ever lets on. Mason/George were always my favourite.
The fic meme was great fun! I may even give it ago and I havent written fic in years. I liked Angstm Threesome, Crack & Horror best. Also Ned becoming a vampire made me all :O I dont ever want him to be the undead, and especially not hanging out with Angel. I love me Ned and I love me vampires but they SHOULD NOT MEET. *protects him* Although it would be interesting to see how his being undead affects his ability to made the dead undead. :P

Well, DLM fic is pretty sparse so you're hardly to blame to not having read any. :) I'm really happy you enjoyed these ficlets though! I'm thrilled to hear that you think my George characterization worked and that Mason/George seemed plausible as well (I actually DON'T ship them romantically but this was a request/challenge so I'm happy that it works despite the fact that I don't actually ship them. :))
Hee, I think the SPN ones turned out pretty good too. As for the "Dark" one - I dunno. I always thought there was a hidden underlying darkness/bitterness/angst (like Chuck's immortality in "Horror!") to Pushing Daisies that might fit in really well in a darker show like Angel if a few things were tweaked. But generally speaking, Ned's life is sad enough and it shouldn't get sadder so I know where you're coming from *protects him with you* lol.
Thanks so much for the great review! I'm glad you liked them!

I dont know if I believe George/Mason could work romantically but I dont mind them being almost like siblings or super close friends. Like how I love Rube/George and their father daughter bonding.
I agree with you about PD having dark undertones. Each character has secrets and emotional burdens to bear but I wasnt really ever fond of Angel, even when he was on Buffy. I think Angelus kicks ass but Angel is just whiny and angsty and annoying and no one deserves to be stuck with him forever as a fanged undead friend, especially not Ned. Mind you if he was the undead maybe he and Chuck could be together? But yeah I think Ned doesnt need the drama of becoming a vampire, his life is complicated enough as it is.
No worries! Thankyou for posting them!

Aww, I like Angel! I've always seen him as a redemptive figure, but I can understand how some people can see him as over-the-top. But, yeah, short of it - Ned as vampire is a no go. :)

I'm really pleased to hear that you liked these! I was lucky that most of the SPN ones were humor (And Castiel really got some action in these, huh?)
angsty-Sam, which was shiver-worthy in only 30 words.
Really? That's what a compliment!
Thank you so much for the feedback. Happy you like them.

Hmm, I think it works like a regular meme. I just found it reading someone else's and took it. You can do the same with mine if you'd like.

Honestly, I really don't know. I think it's like a meme except with fic. I stole it from this person. You can ask him/her, but I'm not sure if he'd know more than me.
