I HAVE RECEIVED MYRON BOLITAR FIC FOR YULETIDE AND IT IS A SHINY, SHINY THING.

To Eartha Kitt, thanks for everything, Myron Bolitar is an utterly delightful piece of deliciousness, whipped up by a brilliant pinch hitter in (I believe) less than two days. It's got Myron and Win working for the FBI on a missing persons case and also BATMAN REFERENCES. As if Myron and Win by themselves weren't awesome enough already.

If you know the books, you should absolutely read it.

1. Think of up to 20 ships.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.

Dear Yuletide author,

YAAAAAAY!

( request details for World War I RPF, Myron Bolitar series - Harlan Coben, Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson )

Halloween tricks and treats will be late this year? To the surprise of uh, nobody, one hopes. ^^;

Dear Sailor,

hurray, you signed up for one of my fandoms! I sincerely hope the characters I picked aren't giving you any headaches - I know in one fandom, the threesome I picked may not have been the one you expected, but I would very much like to read it and so this seemed the place to ask.

( wherein I talk some more about my requests for Haven, NCIS, White Collar and Glee )

In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick or treat" to this post and...well, you know the drill. Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy: recs, drabbles, recs, drabbles. (slightly adapted from photoash - if you'd like something fannish, please prompt with a fandom (pairing or character(s) and additional prompt optional).

Fandoms most recently written for: Sherlock (BBC), Charlie Parker (Angel/Louis), White Collar, Haven, the Mentalist, Iron Man (2008), Chuck/Supernatural, Ra-I, Fastlane, Ouran High School Host Club and a few others. Feel free to try your luck with others, though.

and also, for maximum efficiency:

In celebration of Chuck's Season 5 premiere tonight, I am posting this promise:

Respond with a Chuck prompt (gen, het, slash, crossover with a fandom I know) and I WILL write something for it, even if it's just a few sentences.

All I ask in return is that if you are a Chuck writer you copy and paste this text into a post on your own journal (from nevcolleil, please note that I have still only seen the first two seasons of this show)

After a lengthy period of infatuation, I quit playing Farm Frenzy and as such, I've started removing people I friended for that game. If you haven't been removed yet and have, for some reason, been refraining from stealing my pancakes/eggs/goose feathers and so on, please feel free to go for it.

I watched Speed Racer for a Yuletide request (the 2008 movie) and it was ... cracktastic? No idea if I can pull off fic, but eh. Two hours of fast cars, martial arts and fast cars. Plus ninjas and a monkey. There are worse ways to spend that amount of time, I'm sure. (Also, perhaps, better.)

For the latest round of older_not_dead, I managed to write (and post) two pieces: one for Eureka, which for the prompt is labeled 'slash' but feels rather more like a 'Jack and Stark make a movement towards friendship' to me (also on the AO3 here), and one for Sherlock, wherein Lestrade gets sick and Mycroft shows he cares (also on the AO3 here).

White Collar's second season will be available on DVD soon. Yay!

Yes, so, gwynevere1 very kindly bought a drabblet (or two actually) from me back when at help_nz and given that it's been a month (or two, actually - possibly getting to be three-ish) it seemed about time to go and start, y'know, posting things.

(Am I the only one who writes something and then waits weeks and weeks to actually get around to posting it? Because I do that a lot. My oldest 'all ready for posting' fic is probably uh sixteen months old.)

Below the cut, two NCIS crossovers - both of which were written for gwynevere1 although as it turned out, she only prompted one of them in real life. (The other one, she prompted in my imagination? Ahem. My memory, it is an odd thing sometimes.)

( Psych/NCIS; Lassiter, Ziva and Juliet; 500+ words )

( Burn Notice/NCIS; Fiona and Ziva; 100+ words )

Before I completely forget, here's three fabulous fics I bribed complete strangers to write for me:

We Dance On Ground Trod Bare by jazzfic - Firefly, the wedding of Zoe and Wash

Rain fell on the open gantry, low-misted and steady. Mal stood at the edge, hands deep in his pockets.

He considered the clouds for a long moment, then said, "Now see, if this ain't weather to inspire the nuptials, bring together a pair as odd as any I've known, then you can go right ahead and label me mean ol' captain, 'cause I probably deserve it."

Combining Greek and Latin by longlostlore - Supernatural, Castiel and Anna come to an understanding regarding Dean

"I wish you'd stop interrupting," Castiel said, snapping her out of her pleased reverie. "But yes, it's about Dean."

"You care for him."

"Yes." Something in his tone said that she was stating the obvious, and that he wished she'd stop it. "I'm . . . not used to this sort of emotion. But I am very . . . fond of him."

Anna rolled her eyes. "Poetry. Really. Castiel, why are you telling me this?"

"Because you have a prior claim–"

Stealing Bases by divinathursday - Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Yamamoto and Gokudera

The reason you like baseball so much is because everything else isn’t a game.

- and I've also started working on ficlets I owe other people, honestly. In the meantime, I posted The Big Bang Theory fic for dark_fest and a tiny Burn Notice/White Collar crossover ficlet I wrote on a day when I felt like writing Burn Notice crossovers. (There's another one where Kate meets Fiona, and one where Chuck meets Michael.)

Also: Sherlock. It's awesome and I love it and I can't believe it was only three episodes. Waugh. Fanfiction recs might help me deal with this sad fact.

For some reason, I want to read a Mycroft/Bryce story, but I am rather sure this does not exist in this world. (Proof of me being wrong welcome. Or just any other kind of Sherlock rec, whether or not it involves Mycroft.)

... At some point, I really should start making real entries again.

Since I have zero impulse control, I'm offering drabblets for a dollar in help_nz's lightning round. (Seeing as how I still owe raichou 2500 words of Dragon Knights fic, I'm not going to participate in the 'real' auction. But. I can manage drabblets, surely?)

Fandoms offered are: The Big Bang Theory (S1-S2), Burn Notice (S1-S2), Chuck (S1-S2), Hustle (S1-S4), NCIS (S1-S5), Oglaf, Primeval (S1-S3), White Collar (S1), crossovers between aforementioned fandoms and any other fandom I know and, if that's your cuppa, Kradam.

In unrelated news: I posted On and Off the Record (NCIS/Pundit RPF crossover aka Anderson Cooper bringing Gibbs coffee), and I snatched prompts for Boston Legal and The Big Bang Theory over at dark_fest.

Real Life is crazy busy (in a sort of fun way) right now, so if I owe you fic, donation confirmations, prompts or other stuff like that, yes, I know I'm late and I'm sorry.

Hope to get around to it soon-ish or uh, this weekend. Except for the fic.
