the Revlon Run-Walk -- one last call

[lagilman]

Okay, here's the deal. I set a goal for how much money I thought I could raise for this walk. I haven't reached it.

I hate falling short of goals, especially when they're this important.

So I'm going to steal shamelessly from marinarusalka and offer the following deal:

Want a fic? Make a pledge. Then tell me whatcha want. I can offer Buffy-fic, Angelfic, SG-1 fic, Highlander-fic, Indiana Jones-fic, yes, even Probefic, fgwriter. *grin* If you're not sure if I know it well enough to write it, just ask. (But no HP fic -- I think that's already been well covered by marinarusalka.)

Ready, set... request!

(and remember that, while the walk is this weekend, pledges will be accepted up until the end of May!)

That is more than commendable, and I have to say, it's ingenious.

(Will definitely make a pledge regardless, but just curious:
how do you feel about Dune and Tolkien?)

Have a good walk!

I can do Tolkien, but beware it would be snarky Tolkien. *grin* Dune not so good on.

And I have to admit that I won't be walking... I have a Previous Business Commitment in Oklahoma City, and the plane connection timing sucks no matter how I try to figure it. But I've been in training, and others in the team have agreed to carry the names I've been given, so (like the March last Sunday) I feel I'll be there in spirit if not in flesh)

Snarky Tolkien? W00t!

*grin* Dune not so good on.
Fair enough, mais, I actually meant Dune and Tolkien, as in:

• Leto Herunúmen the Were-worm of the Last Desert, God-Emperor of Middle-earth


• Baron Vladimir Saruman


• Sméaghola

"Why, I thought it was only a kind of worm caca, such as the Fremen prepare for their journey into the desert."
"So it is," laughed the blue-eyed Elves, "but we call it mélange or Spice, and it is more addictive by far than worm excrement, by all accounts."

As deire can tell you, I'm absolutely nuts (http://snipurl.com/5ytd).
:o)

Not a problem - you contribute in what way you can best do so.
As Edsger Dijkstra once said: Do only what only you can do.

A good way to be, quoth Obi-Wan and Muad'dib both.

The thing about Spice, Merry mused as he stared into the thick head of his brew – Littlewater’s best, aged in sherry casks brought down two years back, when Men started riding the trading routes again after cleaning up their own lands in the time after the time Merry tried not to think of, was that it never quite tasted like what you thought it should. Spice should be, oh, he didn’t know, spicy. There should be tang and flavor and heft to it. Shouldn’t there?
The Elves would have known. Had there been any left to ask.
But Elves went out of the world, and Spice came in, and Merry was thinking it was not a fair trade, no not a fair trade at all.


Like that? (I'm torn as to where that's going. Either Gimli shows up, or Nigella does, and things will get weird from there... *grin*)

It's the Kwisatz Haderach - literally!

ROFLOL!
Ma'am, that is brilliant, as are you.
Two Jedi hobbit thumbs up.

But Elves went out of the world, and Spice came in, and Merry was thinking it was not a fair trade, no not a fair trade at all.
LOL!
I can see the Breelander raid on Sietch Tuqbara now...
Poor little Elanor, ickle hobbit abomination.

:g: I must admit, that puts the "Shortening of the Way" in quite a new light.

Thumpers... thumpers in the deep... they are coming.

Thou owest me Probefic!

Really, that's a brilliant bribe, and I have responded. I gave you the same amount as I've spent on books since the year began - seemed appropriate for the Fellowship of Scribes. (Loved the title!)

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

Hmph. I already made a pledge. Does that mean I can't request a Methos fic? :)

(I don't really need one. It's just the principle of the thing that made me have to comment. *grin*)

[lianneb.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. How do you feel about Wesley? And what sort of pledge would get me a nice Wesley fic?

[lagilman]

*heh* Smut, or non-smut? Tortured!Wesley or Dweeb!Wesley or LittleBoyLostWesley?

I love all the flavors, except Blueberry Scone.

I discovered years ago a preference for scruffy wounded-puppy character. Ray Kowalski of Due South season 3. Seamus Harper on Andromeda (these days the only thing worth watching the show for). Ezekial Stone on Brimstone (although he's less puppy, he's definitely wounded and scruffy). It think that's why Wesley became *much* more interesting in Angel season 3. And last week's episode! ~sniffle~

Of course, LittleBoyLost!Wesley and Tortured!Wesley are basically two parts of the whole.

So, you didn't say what you're hoping for in donations. I assume they take PayPal.

[lagilman]

Oh hey, I'm hoping to raise another $500 -- $1000. I'll be satisfied with whatever people are able to give.

And I have no idea about the paypal situation. You can donate via credit card on the site, I know, or by check if you send it to me to send to them in some arcane dance that makes sense to them, I guess...

Just pledged

I would like some Willow/Giles...kinda like "Mad, Bad..." Along those lines, anyway.

Thank you.

Dammit, I wish people would stop turning up where I don't expect them. First Alryssa, now you. (What's more, I wish they'd stop doing it where the identity I'm posting with is one I'm not admitting is connected to the one they know me as.) :)

[lagilman]

And now of course I'm contemplating a Buffy/Highlander/Probe crossover. Which is a sure sign that my brain is about to implode.

*heh*

Also, hrmmmm....

*scribble scribble scribble scribble...*

Another pledge

[faos.livejournal.com]

Talk about knowing your audience... That's the perfect bait to get me off my duff and actually pledge! (What's the saying? "I can resist anything except temptation?")

And Wesleyfic is very tempting... *grin*
