Sprinter not a distance writer + Firefly REC!
The state of me and writing:
I think I'm kind of, sort of, hopefully coming out of the "writing makes my brain hurt" thing that's been going on since the summer. I mean, it does still make my brain hurt a little, but not so much that I can't do it. I've been having fun with my Little Black Dress Crossover Challenge story, Fall Out Boy/Burn notice. Pete turns to Michael Westen for help when Patrick's been kidnapped. What's not to enjoy, really? *g* But it's already 10,000 words, and I'm half done? Two-thirds done? Definitely not nearly done enough. Ten thousand words is about as much as I can write comfortably. I'm at the point where I wish I could pay somebody to finish it for me. But...I guess I can't. Unless there are volunteers? *smiles winningly* Seriously, though, I admire people who write long story after long story. I wish it came more naturally to me.
Sometimes, this idea I have that I could someday write a novel is really kind of funny.

alizarin_nyc wrote me an amazing, hot, sweet, perfect Mal/Simon story for my birthday, The Flying Game, which you should run, run, run to read if you're a fan of this pairing. It was just everything I love about these two, with bonus drunken dancing and Simon turning the tables and sweet fumbling sexy sweetness. Yay story!

If I had a story IDEA for lil' black dress, I would definitely do it. But man, IDEAS. They escape me.
You are so sweet with the pimpage!

DUDE, I don't even watch Burn Notice, but I am in love with this scenario! Like, Pete would totally FREAK OUT and throw a chair across the room or something if Patrick got kidnapped!!! I approve so hard.

Oh, holy shit. I just recently watched S1 of Burn Notice and fell hard, and that crossover setup is brilliant. Imagining Michael Westen's snarky comments about Pete and the rest of Decaydance is making me giggle already.
