I just read a great short fic about Zoe, post-Serenity: Remembered Stiches by an_sceal.

It was written for axial_tilt, a PG-rated multifandom fic exchange that was held in the spring. The mod is thinking about putting it on again this fall -- go fill out this poll if you're interested!

Firefly fans, check out the ficathon ana_grrl is hosting here. It's an informal exchange where you can leave or answer as many promts as you want or none at all.

Seeing the announcement reminded me of a ficlet I'd started a while back and I decided to finish it: Jayne/Simon, PG-13, ~690 words, written for prompt #16, (You see, I woke up gay) at the crack!fic community wtf27

ETA: Read Is That So? (Process of Elimination Remix) by trascendenza! /ETA

( You See, I Woke Up Gay )

My Christmas presents to myself arrived from Amazon.com today: Firefly and Lost DVDs, Brokeback Mountain soundtrack.

Right, this meme, gacked from several people, looks like fun. Though like baranduin I have to warn that I won't necessarily be able to answer all ten questions for every fandom. I will also modify by saying go ahead and name a fandom even if you don't know that I know it, and I'll do my best.

Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:
01. The first character I first fell in love with
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't
04. The character I love that everyone else hates
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer
06. The character I would shag anytime
07. The character I'd want to be like
08. The character I'd slap
09. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

Okay, I promise that any and all future Firefly posts of more than two lines will go under a cut. This one has to be above so the anti-Firefly contingent will notice and vote.

Right, so I'm currently halfway through gamerchick's DVDs, am filled with much love for almost all the characters, not to mention the writers, and I feel like telling the world. I wouldn't be watching the show if I hadn't so enjoyed watching Serenity last month, and I wouldn't have gone to see the movie if it weren't for the enthusiasm of several people on my f-list. A few of you have even written Firefly fic yourselves, and I'm very much looking forward to reading your stories once I finish watching the DVDs. However, a little bird told me that not everyone in "The Fandom" (um, let's say, the one with the hobbits) is as delighted with the Firefly-Serenity squee.

Rest assured, I will not be abandoning Frodo and co. But if I do want to say something about the hotness of Mal, the OTP-ness of Kaylee/Inara, or the MarySue-ness of River, how would you prefer that I proceed?

Please feel free to comment!

A question for elanorgardner and all the rest of you Firefly zealots: if I've never seen the show, should I still go see Serenity tomorrow night? (And no, Elanor, renting the DVDs and catching up this weekend is not an option.)

ETA: Yes, everybody go see it, even if you haven't watched Firefly! Serenity! Go see it right away!
