& i am a writer, a writer of fictions

[wakeupnew]

You find out funny things, when researching for fic-purposes. Like that Egyptian-inspired fashions were highly popular in 1923, because of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.

This is especially funny, given that I was writing a ficlet based on The Mummy. misslucyjane is running a loveathon today, at the post in that link; no strikes, no spam, just good old love! It's simple: you fill a request, you make a request. More people should make requests, so I have things to do around doing my homework.

Or you can request things of me here. I can't promise that they'll all get done, but if it's a fandom that I know, I'll probably at least take a stab at it; whether that means an icon or a full fic or a drabble or just a line or two, I can't be sure. But I just had to email my friend and say that no, I can't go have Easter dinner with her in Connecticut, because there's too much to do here, and I'm exceedingly unhappy about this, so -- distractions is nice.

My fandoms include but are not limited to: milliways_bar (if I have not seen the original canon but know the character from Milliways, I'll do my best), National Treasure, Star Wars: X-Wing, M*A*S*H, The Red Star, Run Fatboy Run, Black Books, Bones, Firefly, Watchmen, Sherlock Holmes, The Office (American), Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, Scooby Doo, Final Fantasy VII. I have many, many more, but that's what I can come up with off the top of my head; feel free to request things that aren't on that list, too. I will not write: RPF, bandom, nonconsensual/incredibly iffy sex, probably graphic sex in general. Anything else goes!

(While I'm on the subject, I forgot to note last week's DE ficathon! People [people being rushin_doll, minkhollow, and bodldops] wrote me AWESOME THINGS, and I wrote several ficlets, too. My favorite, though, was for areyoumymemmy. In which Lilly Kane gets married, again; crossover with Firefly by way of milliways_bar. Alternate title: In which Lexie makes a sad attempt at Lilly Kane's voice.)

Give me prompts, people, or go to Jenna's loveathon and do it there, if you are inclined to fill a request. Please?

I have a strange desire to read fic involving Shaun and Dennis. Because they are seriously alternate universe twins.

Due to the magic of Millitime, this is set pre-canon for both!

"You're not me," says Dennis Doyle, pointing at the other man, just to establish the fact.

Shaun Riley sighs. "No. I'm not."

"Okay," says Dennis, mollified, and he sits down. He sneaks a look at the other guy who looks exactly like him. "...What's your name, again?"

"Shaun," says Shaun. "Shaun Riley." He offers a hand for shaking, since maybe, just maybe, Dennis being sober will mean that this will go halfway okay, this time.

Dennis shakes his hand. "Dennis Doyle." They're left to stare awkwardly at each other, for a minute. Then Dennis says, "So, uh -- what is it that you do?" A half-laugh, hoping Shaun isn't going to say yes: "Not a bang-up policeman, are you?" He doesn't look like the other one, at least; all hard, and angry, and fit.

"Police officer," says Shaun, with no idea why he's said it.

"...Sorry?"

Shaun waves him off. "--Nothing. I sell office supplies. You know, printers, toner, paper... That stuff."

Dennis brightens. "Yeah? I'm a security guard." He shrugs, in a 'what can you do' sort of gesture. "My ex is always on me to do something about it, but it's not such a bad position, really."

"Yeah?" says Shaun, unconsciously in the exact same tone Dennis used a minute ago. "My girlfriend is always talking about how I ought to 'do something with my life.' "

"That's exactly what Libby says!"

They share a perfect ordinary moment.

"You, uh -- you want a pint?" says Shaun.

*cracks up*

I love you. Also, this clearly needs to happen in Milliways, timelines notwithstanding.
