Y'all.

I just read an Infinite fic that was a Firefly!AU and Sunggyu is so Mal it hurts and Sungjong is the mechanic, but that's not the focus of the fic because it's Sungyeol/Myungsoo and I can't believe this exists.

Nothing makes me happier when my fandoms get crossed over.

So I've written some fic for the Awesome People of Color Are Awesome comment-a-thon! Yay! I'm coming off a writing-dry spell, though, so I can't tell you how good they are.

Scylla and Charybdis, The Vampire Diaries, Bonnie Bennett (plus Elena, Grams, and Emily), pg

Ghost Story, Firefly, Zoe (plus Zoe/Wash and Mal), pg

There are some really fantastic prompts over there, so y'all should go write, okay? Things are seeming a bit slow, and it's kind of disappointing.

Yay! I've actually written something!

R is for (the) Ramones, Spike and Dawn, Buffy the Vampire Slayer for gigi_tastic

( The Sound of Forgiveness (forgive the schmoopy title) )

--

X is for xenophobia, Simon, Firefly, for caboca

( Boogeyman )

--

I is for Incense, Giles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for snickfic

( ScentMemory )

1. I'm having a very interesting discussion here regarding Angel and his morality. And I think I'm ticking someone off. I'd love y'all's thought on whether or not I'm being insensitive and/or wanky--it's so hard to gauge tone on the internets! I'm Lirazel, obvs. Scroll down a bit until people start talking about whether Angel is redeemable. Also: spoilers for Twilightgate!

2. redsilverchains and I have been having a blast making up fake plotlines for the hypothetical 7 seasons of Firefly right here. I feel like I want to turn this into a meme somehow and get a bunch of people in on it, but I'm not sure how to organize it. Thoughts?

I don't do recs a whole lot, but I couldn't let this one pass me by since there are people on my flist I know would be wildly enamored of it. *coughthatseptembercough*

Mal/Inara fic for those of you of the Firefly persuasion. It's the writer's first time writing them, so shower her with feedback if you read/enjoy:

Five Times Mal Reynolds Didn't Kiss Inara Serra (And the One Time He Did) by wordsthatfail. Check it out.


Also...I really need to work on those personal canon tidibts soon....

Provenance:  Once upon a time…last July, I think it was, I started this story for

ava_leigh_fitz  for her birthday.  And…I didn’t finish it.  Couldn’t, for some reason.  Then I forgot all about it and only pulled it back out again come December when I thought it might make a nice Christmas present for her.  Again, couldn’t finish it.

 

But I finally pulled it out again (this right here primed the pump) and finally finished and now, here it is, whole and pride-inducing. 

This one’s for you, Izi.  Not for a celebration of any particular day (since we’ve seen how well that turned out), but just because you’re wonderful.  I hope you enjoy!

I'm writing Firefly fic (I know?  Isn't that crazy?  It feels so good!), and I glanced at the Firefly Wiki to try to figure out how old Mal would have been during the War.  But I did the math and the first thing I figured it out is this:  do you know how old he was during the actual show? 

49.

Okay, there is no way on God's green earth that I buy that.  Do they honestly expect me to buy that?  Nathan Fillion as 49?  Here's what the wiki says:

"Malcolm Reynolds was born on September 20, 2468. This is taken from the Serenity movie when the Operative is viewing his file. This date has significance in that September 20, 2002 is the day Firefly premiered, and September 20, 1968 is Firefly writer/producer Ben Edlund's date of birth. "

Okay, I adore Ben Edlund (fun fact: did you know he was the one who came up with the idea for Bad Horse?); he's written several of my favorite Jossverse/Supernatural episodes, and I think the guy's a genius.  I love that they gave him this short of shout-out in the movie.  However, that's all it is.  A shout-out.  I don't believe that's canon.

So I figure that means that I get to completely disregard that, much the way we get to completely disregard the various canon contradictions about Buffy's birthdate. 

However, I am very interested in how old you think he is during the War.  The War started eleven years before "Serenity" (the pilot episode, not the movie) and ended five years later.  I always sort of imagined Mal as this fresh young kid going off to fight for glory and freedom and all that stuff.  But I do want to be realistic about his age when he went off to fight.  I'd love your opinions.  Any thoughts?

Also, I just want to give a shout-out to my icon.  "Out of Gas" is my favorite episode of Firefly by a whole heck of a lot, and this icon makes me ridiculously happy.

"Let me show you the rest. And-and try to see past what she is and onto what she can be."
"What's that, sir?"
"Freedom, is what."
"I meant, what's that?"
"Oh, yeah, just step around that. I think something must have been living in here."

I DIE.

So Vagina Fest '09 is going on, and despite the fact that I cannot for the life of me write porn, I've joined in on the fun with some Mal/Inara-ness.  Yeah, it's maybe the most ridiculously PG sex scene ever written (I'm sorry--I can't write really explicit stuff, and there's a long list of reasons why that I won't bore you with), but you might want to check it out.
