"Baked beans are off..."

[ealgylden]

I could swear I've taken this before (nicked from cruisedirector this time). I vaguely remember getting Andy McNab and thinking "What the hell?" I must have been feeling violent and tortured that day. Since it's so obvious where each option comes from, it's kind of fun to pick answers randomly to see who carries the day, like, what will two Boromirs, one Mellors, one Sean Miller, one Partridge and two Alec Trevelyans equal? Oh. Um. Mmm. There's a thought...

What kind of Bean addict are you?

Huzzah for Sharpe!

We've been building up the DVD collection and it's fabulous to watch them again, and anticipate buying the ones we've never seen.

I got such a Firefly vibe from some of the episodes that I was inspired to write a FF story that incorporated some Sharpe elements.

Oh neat, so it's not just me getting some vibey moments. I wonder if Joss is a fan. It's such a great series (both are, that is).

Not one of the ones of the ones where you kill people, I hope? I have a folder of your fic saved and bookmarked, but I've been scared to read it yet because I know you pull no punches (not that that's bad, I'm just a wimp). Saving it for a sunny day when I need a good cry.

Umm, err...oh drat. My reputation precedes me! Considering the Sharpe-inspired fic takes place during the war, well, yes, there's death (but not for any majorr FF character, honest!). But there were reports of misty-eyed reactions. I'm operating on a loaner computer here, so I can't post a link, but the title is "Where I Cannot Stand." (It's linked from tara's cortex site.)

I can't help it! It's all Joss' fault--and, and, the terrifying space monkeys! I've never written so many fics in one fandom that lean so much towards angst-filled. Sigh. When ypu do work up the nerve to read any of 'em, I'd love to hear from you.

Hee! But in a good way, really. Well, aside from the killing thing, that is. I'm kidding, I've only heard positive things. And as long as the bodies in the Sharpe-influenced fic don't belong to Mal or Zoe, it's all good. A little angst is healthy, right? Particularly since I agree with you, this fandom really does lend itself to angst. I blame Mal. And Joss. And the spacemonkeys!
