Post-pourri (icon, poll, fic rec, la la la)

[mhalachai]

For you, gentle reader.

1. A fic rec for Firefly -- A Handful Of Beans by aliaspiral (alianora). It is River-centric, and is a terrifyingly beautiful look at River's head at the Academy. Short and oh so bittersweet.

2. I placed third in another icontest over at profiler_fans:


3. Five Anita Blake drabbles of mine are up over at abvh100. They are for the five senses challenge, and you can read the drabbles here.

4. Have you ever wondered if your favourite fanfics have a soundtrack? A theme song? I've been thinking about this a lot recently, and realize that two of my stories have theme songs. The theme song for Inevitable is Cells by The Servant. The theme song for Switchback is Hurt by Johnny Cash. Make of that what you will (I can send you to places online to get the songs if you haven't heard them. Email me, at mhalahcai at gmail dot com.).

5. In a frantic panic celebration before Serenity comes out, I need to work on Different Eyes over the weekend. But after that... who knows? So, I present to you, gentle reader, a poll:
[Poll #576418]
Voting will end whenever I stick up the next chapter of Different Eyes.

I voted for Inevitable, being the HP geek that I am. (And, sad to say, because I haven't read the others because I don't know much about their canon sources.)

I'm such an Inevitable junkie that I had to write two silly ficlets based on it. Here's the latest. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/catherinecookmn/12333.html#cutid1) (Yes, yes, doctor, I'll follow the nice men in the white jackets...)

Haven't you read the Anita Blake books? I mean, Switchback is pure AB.

Next post, can I pimp the Inevitable ficlette? So everyone will see it?

Arrgh! I was thinking of the Firefly and Smallville fics when I typed that. The real reason I didn't read Switchback and Candlelight is because I am a lazy dweeb. (I really like the time-travel plot point of Switchback, by the way. Especially wondering how an older and -- perhaps -- wiser Anita might deal with the things she'd dealt with two years ago.)

Oh, and as for the ficlet, please pimp away! I've removed the locks on both that one and Russet Tiger, so they're both public now.
