Drabbles offered to good homes

[jadesfire]

I am immensely chuffed today as "Coming Back" has been recced on crack_van. It's so lovely - the list is full of great writers and I always bounce to see my name among them! My Housefic "They Also Serve" was recced there a while back, so I'm feeling rather proud of myself :) Now all I have to do is write a Criminal Minds one to match them... ;)

In a burst of creativity, I'm offering drabbles/ficlets to all requestors. Any fandom (see my interests list), any pairing. I'm rather bouncy as The Wandering Years stopped wandering and started behaving themselves so come share the bounciness! I don't promise they'll be the same quality as fallen_arazil's, but I can try. :)

Also, rivers_bend told us to consider ourselves tagged...



1. I can play both the descant and the treble recorders (not at the same time) to a fairly decent standard.

2. I can't wash my hair in the shower because I've got horribly sensitive skin and the shampoo makes me itch.

3. I used to be able to say thank you in 45 languages. I think I'm down to about 25 now.

4. I can type around 80 words a minute.

5. Baked beans make me feel sick.

6. I own a Beanie Buddy duck called Mr Pond, who lives on my computer hard drive at work. He was a 21st birthday present.

Like river, I hate tagging people, but love random facts, so post away!

Wow, you can type very fast, and I marvel at your grasp of language...

I would love a free drabble. So I shall be a requestor. You seem to be drowning in them so far so please can I have something Torchwood-ish, with the prompt 'flood' because I have total faith in your imagination.

Torchwood and flood. Should be able to do something with that.

Any luck on your own drabble hunt?

[entangled-now.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I've been practicing drabbles and I think I might be making progress. Though for some reason I always need to take out four more words...words I desperately need!

Oh dear. My slash-writing betas appear to have hijacked my imagination...

Hope you enjoy :)

Flood

"Ianto!"

Ianto splashed his way across the Hub. "Another one, sir?"

Jack's shirt was soaked from water pouring down from the ceiling. "Is Tosh getting anywhere?"

"She's managed to stop the lightening, but the rain is still coming. It's getting a bit suspicious, sir, even for Cardiff."

Jack sighed. "Next time, remind me not to let Owen play with the alien weather machine?"

"Noted. If I might suggest…" Ianto coughed. "The archives are watertight. And warm"

"Really?" Tilting his head to one side, Jack smiled. "Sounds like just the place to get out of these wet clothes, wouldn't you say?"

Now the question becomes where are these betas so that we may ply them with cookies to keep it up? ;)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's any danger of crystalshard or miss_zedem stopping anytime soon...although they'd probably enjoy the cookies anyway :)

The slash-writing betas will be provided with cake and pop if only for the fact that you have given me 'wet Ianto.' This is a very good drabble indeed...exactly the sort of thing I wish would happen on the show. Thank you!

*grin* You're welcome. I think there's quite a few fans who'd pay good money to see the cast get wet... :)

Glad the drabbles are starting to work - I look forward to seeing the results!
