It is my birthday in 1 month. I would like to write some mathoms for the occassion.

... and it just struck me that several years out of the LOTR fandom, people might not be familiar with that term. Basically, Hobbits have a custom where instead of receiving presents on their birthday, they give presents. These presents-given-from-the-birthday-hobbit are called "mathoms". Every year I try and scrape together some fandom mathoms for my birthday - fics, icons, etc. (might even try vids this time!), with varying success.

So, will attempt some mathoms this year. It's quite a strong possibility (if not a guarantee) that they will be Firefly-centric this year, but as you might know, I'm rather fond of crossovers too.

If you have any requests or suggestions, now's the time, though I'm not making any promises - I will write things if the inspiration hits, which you may be able to aid me with :)

Firefly/Scrubs.

You know you want to.

I do, actually! I have been toying with the idea for a while :D

I am so tempted to beg you for a Carnivale/Firefly crossover... but you prolly knew that already. :D

I have it planned! We need to watch the rest of season 1 first, though. omg i want to be home watching it right now.

Something with robots? Or a firefly/lotrips crossover?

robots! hey. *giant plot bunny jumps on my head*

okay then!

*cheers*

muahahaha! well, i wrote it. *cackle*

though I doubt you'll need a push to write some Jayne/Simon i'd really love to read some more! I've read one (or more?) of the ones you've already written and thought it (they? sorry, fics run together but I specifically remember noting that your writing was much better than most) was wonderful!

Thankyou! :) I have some more of teh snarky otp on the go now, so no doubt there will be spades of it come next month :D

oh joy! :D I'm currently trying my hand at it at well

i'd love firefly fic. anything, really. because they're all one big happy ~~orgy~~ family.

so, some ~~orgy~~ family firefly fic for you? :D

yay!! \o/

I would like Firefly and some hobbits, if you could so manage it, but if you couldn't then I would just be happy with Firefly by itself. I think, I don't know if I've seen you write lots about Mal, so Mal and maybe some River and Simon, however you swing that. That would be good.

I would like to write some Mal, River and Simon. Also, perhaps some firefly/hobbits x-over. any characters in particular you'd like with hobbits?

Anyone you'd like, though maybe some Simon or Jayne just because Simon is way cool, and I would like to see how Jayne is responding to small things with hairy feet. Also, River, because River is just about the best ever.

So, you can pick as you like from those three.

*cheers*

so i know you're in such a frenzy about firefly (as am i and just about everyone else in the fandom) but i would love love love it if you could write some jumpstreet. i miss tom/doug and their crazy/angsty/slashy ways :)

I would love to write more jumpstreet! i will give it a go :)

Icon, please!

Icon of Mal, pleeeez!

Icon of Mal from the episode 'Trash' where he's standing there NAKED talking to Inara! Don't need Inara in the shot, just Mal, bare-assed and totally comfortable in his skin.

The caption can say anything you want, 'Today was a good day,' 'Shiny,' 'Bitable,' no caption at all, whatever's appropriate.

Thank you for honoring this hobbit tradition.

Hee. I think I could whip that up! In fact, I'll prolly do it for you when I get home.

*squishies you*

Part of me wants feels selfish asking (No, no, I want to say, just enjoy that birthday fun). The other part of me thinks Firefly apocalypse fic. Possibly with desperate 'everything's gone to shit' smut.

hey, i enjoy writing! i enjoy posting fic! it's all good :D

will make an attempt at apocalypse fic. i like the idea, just need to get my head around it :)

Yeah, I have a hard time getting my head around apocalypse fic. It's kind of pathetic that I love it so much, but can't write it :)

my good friend

baylorsr wrote a kinda apocalypse!firefly fic, i am trying to convince her to post it now. I think you'd like it :D

Oooh, very shiny and good! I hope she does post it -- I'll keep an eye out (this expression amuses me, somehow).

I don't know you well and so I don't want to ask for anything, I just hope you post this stuff publicly so I can read it as well. *g* Happy early birthday. <3

of course i'll post it publicly! what's the fun in fic if it's flocked? :D

and feel free to poke me with ideas, if you have any. i'm just after inspiration :)

I wish I did... I'm usually looking for inspiration myself, hehe.

I guess.. hmm.. I would like to read some post-Serenity Jayne/Simon (especially after the bottle scene), where they haven't had a sexual relationship yet... something like that.

funny you mention that particular bunny! I was just about to start writing something along those lines :D

Hee. :D You continue to be awesome.

WOOT.

*unbites*

what a lovely and generous thing to do.

i must say that calling these gifts of fic mathoms is a fanon creation.

Tolkien used the word to mean "white elephant." it's us who decided to make it mean the same thing as "gift;" that's actually not in canon. but gifts are always a lovely thing.

Hey, I saw Serenity so now I can grok your fic.

*waves*

whee, serenity!

that's weird! i always read mathom as gift, even before i got into fandom. coincidentally, most of the time the gifts also happened to be white elephants, but the fact that they were given on birthdays (and also, bilbo having hundreds of them specially made for his party) always made me see it more of a gift thing than a white elephant thing :)

hi!

wheee....

i apologize for inflicting my pet Tolkien peeve on you; i was ranting about this just ten days ago before my period started. with quotes from FOTR chapter 1 and everything. *hides eyes*

yes, i am a bitch.

as you were; nothing to see.....happy holidays!!!

mal/serenity

that is the otp, isn't ? :)

Why so specific? I know you love Mal/anyone.

*bites*

Simon/Elijah? Simon/Elijah/River?

*sits close and looks up to you*

O.O!

ooo. now there's a thought.

More Firefly peeps in Minas Tirith?

Zoe and Jayne fighting trolls.

...

Okay, so I have a weakness for trolls.

...trolls?

hrmm, minas tirith.

OH wheeeeeeee!! I will have to ponder this.
