Title: At a Crawl
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: Simon/River
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Don’t own ’em, making no profit off ’em, etc.
Word Count: 347
Summary: “Say the sickness turned my brain.” Arching in, lips quirked conspiratorially, and there’s the frothy-light brush of her uncombed hair against his cheek.
Notes: Written belatedly for the Vagina Fest. Prompt: memories.

Glee time! Episode 9: Wheels.
It fucking pisses me off that Rachel automatically gets handed everything. Tina got to sing the Maria solo in West Side Story once and instead of working her through it, Will turned right back around to giving everything to Rachel and yes, she is the best, but no one's going to get better if they don't stretch themselves. Also, Finn sucks.
And Will having the gall to be all, "Oh noes, we don't have time to rearrange a song for Mercedes!" OMFG BITE ME SO HARD.
Rachel's smugness is not endearing. You ain't Greg House, girl. Step off.
Kurt makes me giggle and squee and act like a femmy little teenage boy. It's contagious.
And why the FUCK do they need a goddamn bus? There aren't many of them. Rent a van, lameass. The camaraderie will increase in close quarters. And Will, Sue is so much more awesome than you with her fat-check writing boosters, so suck on that.
( Here be more Glee-babble. )

This is a bizarre thing for me. It's Harry Potter fic, which I've never posted before (not counting that unfortunate crossover with Kill Bill, which was years ago and only because I was bored out of my mind) and it's written in a relatively straightforward style. Third-person limited, past tense, verbs almost unfailingly accompanied by nouns, the works. I'll have to crank out some good old-fashioned stream-of-consciousness before too long.
It's also far, far past the word limit for the Porn Battle. That part is less surprising.
Title: Keeping Up Appearances
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Pansy/Parvati
Rating: R
Disclaimer: Don’t own ’em, making no profit off ’em, etc.
Word Count: 3,032
Summary: The closest they normally came to speaking was during attendance, when Parkinson and Patil uttered consecutive “here”s, same as in Potions.
Notes: Written for the Femslash Porn Battle. Prompt: easy.

This one went over the word limit. Oops.
Title: Rations
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: River/Kaylee
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: Don’t own ’em, making no profit off ’em, etc.
Word Count: 961
Summary: River loses her voice and they lack honey for her tea. There’s at least some peppermint powder, better than nothing, and she writes and taps and pantomimes out responses to everything, and together it all means she’s about as coherent as usual.
Notes: Written for the Femslash Porn Battle. Prompt: mechanical help.

There's a Femslash Porn Battle going on! Many thanks to
aphrodite_mine for linking there, or else I might never have known about it. I need to get to bed, so just one contribution so far, but I've marked a bunch for future pondering.

"Down to brass tax."
Lulz. Eggcorns FTW.
Quick drabble before I head to work. This one is for
karaokegal, who asked for:
( Foreman/Wilson, something from the Foreman in Charge arc )
I'm also *coughcough* killing two birds with one stone and using this as my Come As You're Not submission since it actually is something I wouldn't normally write. So smooth. That's me.

One more belated drabble. This one goes out to

My list-keeping abilities are epic, but sometimes I misplace my lists.
Case in point: that time, um, a mere five months ago when I took drabble requests and then forgot about them. Better late than never, right? Also, these are all gonna be longer than one hundred words, I can tell you that right now.
Here be one for
triedunture, who wanted:
( other dead people that House might start seeing )
And one for
euclase, who wanted:

I need thoughts!
More than one person on my flist has expressed some frustration over writing these days. Namely, the fact that it's hard to be original.
Fair enough. We can only put our own spin on the same tired tropes so many times. Sometimes that's a fact it's hard to work past. Add onto that the seasons changing, the holidays approaching, school really getting underway, and any other stressful things that might be rearing their heads this time of year, and it can make for a lot or teeth-gnashing.
Which is lame, since writing shouldn't be a teeth-gnashing enterprise all the time and there are a lot of nifty ideas floating around out there that haven't been combined yet.
I'm wondering about the possibility of doing a ficathon, of sorts. Nonspecific to any fandom, just open to anyone who's interested in trying to write something a little off the beaten path.
Essentially, prompts would be collected from anyone and everyone, provided they consist of the following:
Something that's on the cliche side and something that isn't. The idea is for writers to do a mash-up of old safe ideas and things that are completely unexpected, however out of the blue they may seem. For example:
Supernatural: Sam and Dean are given a single-bed hotel room after being mistaken for a gay couple...and there's a buffalo stampede.
Criminal Minds: At long last, Morgan and Reid make sweet love for the first time...but there's a power outage and toothpaste gets mistaken for lube.
House, MD: House treats a beautiful, mysterious woman suffering from a terrible disease...only it all takes place in the land of Oz.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard and McKay have hot kinky sex...only it's all in a fic rated no higher than PG.
Yes, well, those were the first ones I thought of. Um.
Since creativity is paramount, there would be no limit on how many fics an individual could write. Authors could work the two elements together however they liked, turn out anything from hardcore crack to dead serious drama. And there would be lulz and plumbing of authorial depths and stuff.
I dunno. I'm trying to orchestrate a pick-me-up, and I'd love to succeed, but maybe I'm going about it all wrong. Thoughts?

Girls rock. And belt and wail and get melismatic and occasionally yodel. This calls for a music post.
( Here be Florence and the Machine, Shakira, Vienna Teng, Alela Diane, Krystal Meyers, Clannad, Rasputina, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fisher, Heather Dale, Rykarda Parasol, and--of course--Alanis )
Um...let me know if you like stuff or if there are any issues downloading.
I've had the idea for this fic floating in the back of my mind forever--like, since late in S3, when it looked like Wilson was two seconds away from coming out of the closet every time he appeared. Those were the days.
Title: Prideful
Pairing: House/Wilson
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Don’t own ’em, making no profit off ’em, etc.
Word Count: 2,243
Summary: Wilson gets a little poetic justice and House gets a boa (or, the one where they go to Pride).
Notes: Takes place in S3, at some point after House Training. There actually is a lacrosse team called New Jersey Pride, which was just too good an opportunity to pass up.

Rating: R
Disclaimer: Don’t own ’em, making no profit off ’em, etc.
Word Count: 1,166
Summary: The birds are in the bushes and the wolf is at the door. Takes place after the events in Serenity.
Notes: Written for the Fall Fandom Free-For-All in response to a prompt from
darlas_mom: Mal and River hook up. Super-special awesome bonus points if it's done from Simon's POV while he's on the outside looking in.
Poem excepts are from Arthur Guiterman's "Everything in its Place."

Unexpectedly amazing combination of pizza toppings: onions, corn, sweet potatoes, and honey mustard.
I actually watched this one! At first I doubted I could be arsed to write anything of my own, but then I was feeling so crampy I actually broke down and took some pain meds that happen to contain both acetaminophen and caffeine, so I'm once again feeling peppy before dawn.

Hanne Hukkelberg is playing in DC September 13 and, if at all possible, I am so there.
Also, SPN folk, why is there no Sam/Pamela? (Samela? That's totally a portmanteau I can get behind.)
Ooh, or Jo/Pamela. John/Pamela. I really like Pamela, okay?
