Finish-a-thon and Muiltiverse story

[vilakins]

OK, I've signed up for the Finish-a-thon. This is kerravonsen's brilliant idea, where you post all your unfinished or unwritten stories, and people vote on which one they'd like to see you write. Go over there and sign up: it's any fandom and any rating and you can't possibly end up writing something you don't want to. ;-)

And as the authors for Multiverse 2006 have been announced, I can reveal, for what it's worth, that I wrote:

Meeting of Minds

It is flawed* but I was delighted with the Jayne and Avon story, Cynical and Unresponding, that entropy_house wrote me. I didn't have her down as a Firefly fan and was therefore very puzzled about who had written such good and funny Jayne since executrix had been a beta (and therefore not the author).

* For starters, I had to make Starbuck fly a Raptor because I needed something with jump capability to get her into the future.

I thought it was super!

Really? [cheers up immensely] Thank you!

talking of Firefly fans, I've only just got your icon, seconds before reading your post. D'oh!

It's my pilot's hat I bought last year! :-D

I was a bit baffled by this at first, thinking "I know she doesn't like Jayne, but why would her beta-ing stop Jayne being funny? I mean, she writes good and funny Jayne, even not liking him." But then the penny dropped.

Having read Meeting of Minds, I think you did Tarrant well, particularly in the final scene. I've seen only one season of Starbuck, but she seemed on target too.

Thank you! If you mean season 1, it's the best for her and the series (so far). I haven't got round to finishing S2 yet though I've only got a handful of eps to go. It's like SGA: though I like the characters, they'd better pick up the story line soon and stop being quite so bleak or lose me. [aside] But the Sopranos and are back on here: joy!

Sorry I wasn't clear. executrix is the person I immediately think of for Firefly fic, even though it wasn't her densely literary style.

I've now added a few words in parentheses to make it clear. :-P
