Look! I wrote stuff!

Seriously. I actually managed to get Wash, Zoe and Mal out of the bar after a month or so of writer's-procrastination. Poor suckers were so drunk...

And I've just realized I have to write two pwp scenes. One slash, for that plotless mess of guitar-playing, bath-having, free-lovin' folk. The other, however, is Jayne/Whore (which is to say, Jayne/Natasha, but that wouldn't mean anything, now would it?) I don't particularly want to write that bit but figure there's some character points I could develop with it.

Also? What kind of fanfic writer would I be if I just threw away such a chance at smut?

I've found a good breakdown of money in the Firefly 'Verse, so hopefully I'll be able to tell you how much Jayne'll have to pay Natasha.

But because the Jayne-fic has, as yet, not plot, though various sub-plots, I'll post something else now:

A/N: It's 3:41 am. This is not as edited or pruned as it should be. If I can fit it into the Jayne-fic somewhere, it'll be improved. For now, this is enoough.

This snapshot of conversation between Jayne, Mal and Simon is set when the three have to stay up through the night, possibly as a night-watch, and the two are saying how prissy and sheltered Simon wouldn't be able to stay awake.

It's really just an excuse to talk about futuristic-tattoos.

Stuff!

b_phil has now solved my second "what the hell was that movie I vaguely recall from my childhood" problem. It's The Stuff, not, as I once tried, The Thing.*

Back to writing a job description in German. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find technical words for printing machine parts in German? Frellin' ruttin' hard.

I'll leave you all with an article about the future Stardust movie and *crosses fingers* the renewed possibility of a Good Omens movie**. Or maybe Neil's last movie-project, Beowolf is more your thing.

In other news, a River vid which rocks my socks.

Here are some Chinese/Pinyin-related websites I found yesterday this wee morning whilst researching for Insomnia:

I also found out ( random yet interesting facts. )

* Which was a black-and-white B-movie about plantlike alien attacking people and not a colour B-movie about deliciously edible alien-foam possessing people.
