cherrySo, it appears that I haven't posted fic in three months. I ended the last year on a strong note, but just haven't had the time since the new year.
Tah-dah!
Four Times Dreaming. BtVS/Nikita, though no knowledge of La Femme Nikita is necessary for comprehension. I've just started dangling my feet in BtVS, so any sort of comments would be more than welcome.
And now... Baaaah!
1.) Three little quirks you have that not everybody knows.
1} I do not play sports because I am naturally coordinated -- I play despite the fact that I am not. I run into things, I fall out of cars, and my head seems to exert a sort of magnetic pull on hard objects flying through the air. Every bit of coordination I have, I have earned.
2} I have a really hard time reading non-digital clocks. If they have numbers, I can do it with a bit of concentration, but if they are bereft of marks, forget it.
3} I don't eat bananas, banana flavoured candies, or any sort of concoction that has the fruit in it.
2.) Three things people SHOULD know about you if they want to get along with you better.
1} Tell it to me to my face. I don't care what it is -- if you have a problem with me or something I've done, just tell me. If it's important enough to talk about, talk to *me* about it. I can't correct anything if I don't know I'm doing something wrong, we can't work it out if we don't discuss it, and the one thing I that will make me lose respect for someone is what I perceive as behind-the-back-behavior.
2} I can have a short fuse, but I can't stay angry for more than an hour or so. I say, I deal, I forget about it completely.
3} If I'm grouching, call me on it. Chances are I've forgotten to eat and I need to get my blood sugar back in check.
3.) Three pieces of obscure trivia (general trivia, NOT about you).
1} There is enough cyanide in a cup of apple seeds to kill a full-grown male elephant.
2} There are areas, known as the Salmon Forests, where not only carnivores depend on fish. The plants and trees depend on the decomposing carcasses for nutrition, and those that do not eat the fish directly eat the foliage (of course.)
3} The Mars Climate Orbiter, which burned up in the red planet's atmosphere in 1999, did so because mission control was guiding it in Imperial measurements, while the probe itself was designed to work in metric.
4.) One odd thing currently in your purse, wallet, or pocket. (Hey, this one was fun last time.)
Travel insurance policy, for our trip on Friday. ("Terrorism and SARS updated!")
Tah-dah!

Date: 2003-05-05 07:25 pm (UTC)and let me tell you, that Four Times Dreaming is the EXACT piece of fiction that i have daydreams about.
The narrative pace wasn't rushed, the descriptions were vivid and vaguely disturbing, and it's a Willow-centric CROSSOVER with La Femme Nikita.
You have just made my day. Possibly my week.
Now, if you would finish it, there could be serious month-long quantifications in your future.

Date: 2003-05-05 10:00 pm (UTC)It really is nice to know that *someone* read it. I'm pondering writing something more in my own little world, but I'm not exactly sure where to take it. There's a part of me that wants to do a little piece with Xander and Dawn after they get back to Sunnydale, and see where it goes from there; but there's another piece that just wants to figure out what to do with Willow and write that.
::Grins:: Thanks again for the commenty/feed back thing. 'tis appreciated.
