Rain rain go away

They say all things come in threes.

1. An Anya fic rec: Chiaroscuro by Luna. PG-13, written before season seven. What can I say about this fic... it's perfect Anya. Cruel and hopeful and amazing in so many ways. It's beautifully written. Everyone should read it, it's an amazing story. Thanks to slythhearted for pointing me to it.

2. Icons -- I need some Xander and/or Anya icons. So, either point me to some, or how about aiming me at a site with Anya and/or Xander screencaps? Please muchly.

3. If anyone has a spare moment, look at my prompt list for the fanfic100 round of Anita Blake fics (found here) and let me know if you have any ideas? Yes, I know it's supposed to me be doing this, but you guys have such great ideas (as evidenced by the ficlette fiasco prompts) that I'd be nuts to not at least ask.

Prompt Ideas

I have an idea for thye middles and ends. The story of Julliana. MIddle could be a "we went through this town and this is what happened." type hing and ends could show how exactly everything happened when Julliana died.

for 026 Zebrowski and his teamates going in and investigating a scene.

Not great ideas but... Hope they work for you,

Well, I did do a few Anya icons recently but my Xander icons are depressingly sophmoric and before I discovered layers. If you have ideas of scenes you'd like capped I can probably snag you a few pics. I also have heaps available on my harddrive at home, mostly stills.

That would be most awesome. Just thinking about it, I think what I want is a screenshot of Xander from that hyena show in the first season, when he's looking all alpha and mysterious. Not sure what I plan to do with said screen shot, but I'm sure it will be just beautiful. *ahem*

I'll search it out later after J goes back on travel. Is Weds. okay with you?

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

That sound perfect.

He's leaving so soon? Eek.

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is just to California for a few days. He goes to Iraq on Oct.29.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Ah, California. Sun and sand. Better times.

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

Though, sun and sand would describe Iraq too. Just with a different emphasis.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

True. It's a little less unrelenetless and dangerous in California.

That's a cheerful icon.

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

It's seasonal. I gacked it from wizzicons. I love Halloween.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Oooh, shiny. I love Halloween too. I'm trying to decide what to wear as my costume. I think I'll get a length of rope, mess up one end and tie it around my waist. So, when someone asks me if I can tell them what my costume is, I can say, "I'm a frayed knot"

*giggles madly*

It's like the time my ex carried around a bloody box of cheerios and called himself a Cereal Killer.

That story by Luna is lovely, utterly lovely. Joss should film the damned thing. (And Giles is so, so very Remus-like that I have to wonder if maybe the Watcher knocked up Remus' grandmum or something!)

Chiaroscuro = so beautiful I cried.

Some ideas:

-yellow-Sunflowers and 'daffy'dills.

-school-You remeber when a cop told Anita she should write a book on what she knows, because the FBI people who wrote the handbooks and gave the lectures didn't know half Anita Knew? Well, that book's now the leading text in the field of PB, Preternatural Biology.

-birth-The birth of Anita, a vaduan grandmother's point of view.

good luck,
E.A.V.

~~BwaHaHa! A frayed knot! A friend of mine was road-kill some-odd Holloweens ago. I do costumes like Puss in Boots with an outrageous hat, scraps of fur sewn in as ears, all anointed with a gloriously large peacock feather. And the boots. Musn't forget the boots.
