OMG! I missed Heroes! Can you believe it?! Me, neither! It's stuck in my brain at 10pm when in actuality it starts at 9, a whole hour earlier!!! I was watching dumb ass Celebrity Fit Club: Women vs. Men for reasons beyond my ability to understand. Don't get me wrong, I had enormous fun mocking Dustin Diamond, but Screech is NOT worth missing Heroes. argh! Hopefully, my co-worker will burn me a copy for tomorrow and I won't have to languish Heroes-less all the way until Friday when it runs repeat on Sci-Fi Channel. Cross your fingers, kids!
In the meantime, I really had not intended to post today because well -- Hi, May, April was so like yesterday. No more National Poetry Month means no more poems and that means I am off the hook for posting all the time.
However, last night's tragedy not withstanding, I was lured back to the internet by the following meme gakked from
a2zmom:
Name or describe three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them. (Assuming, you know, that I have some idea what the fandom is, etc.)
I won't hold you to the three.

So, just having fun here (maybe giving you a bit of a hard time):
1) A totally sane River ... what the girl genius would be if she'd never been kidnapped & had her brain messed with. Uncreepy but still supah smart. Your choice of situation. And it has to be non-dark!
2) BatB/BtVS crossover where Buffy & Catherine meet, fall in love, discover they're mostly-lesbian bisexuals who like having their respective boys on the side. And the boys are fine with it. ::SNERK:: And I want schmoopy lightness here too. Because I love you, I will let you decide who Buffy's "boy on the side" is. (Except... not Xander!)
I was going to go for a Heroes thing, but the season's almost over & don't want to mess with canon yet till I see what happens ...
3) Hah! What was that horrible SMG movie you complained about recently? How about a faux-meta thing where you get inside SMG's head & record her thoughts while making it. I want this one to be funny. (I guess you could only call this "fandom" by a stretch. SMG fandom? TWoP-ish fandom? You can ignore it if you like ...)
Hehehe. Should I run away and hide from your writerly wrath now?? ;~D
