Time for a post that's light and fluffy!

Stolen from theregoesyamum: the Ten ways you know you're reading a Mhalachai fic.

1. There is some weird Anita Blake crossover action going on.
2. Asher's jealous of Harry/Micah/Nathaniel/ducks/rocks
3. The story looks as if it's been hit with the comma stick.
4. If there's angst, it's balanced with a liberal helping of fluff. Except if that story is Candlelight. Or Switchback.
5. There are minor "inconsequential" details that will come back to kick you in the ass eight chapters later.
6. People move around. A lot.
7. It's OC-lite.
8. At least once, you say to yourself, "Huh. Didn't see that one coming."
9. The characters aren't stupid, just ignorant of what's going on around them.
10. The chapters are really, really long.

13. You realize that you don't need to know the fandom she is using because it is its own world and complete.

Huzzuh? Which of my fandoms don't you know?

Well, I mostly learned about Firefly through your writing, so there's one. And I haven't watched very much Smallville. But that's the point: One needn't know the fandoms backwards and forwards to enjoy your stories.

For instance: Where you have Anita and Company in the Firefly universe, you provide enough information on the Reavers' techniques and tactics, and on Anita's skills, to make it quite clear how Anita is likely the most powerful force possible against these clowns.
