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 :)

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

Something with robots? Or a firefly/lotrips crossover?

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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

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.

More Firefly peeps in Minas Tirith?

Zoe and Jayne fighting trolls.

...

Okay, so I have a weakness for trolls.
