Kitten!Cuddler!JayneFic

I may actually finish the thing in the next couple of days. And it's been a blast to write.

Now, Chinese is part of the show. I've sprinkled some into it here and there, mainly expletives and the like. They never translated it on the actual show...so should I translate it in the fic? In-text author's notes are out; I won't do it that way. Wouldn't take much to translate it down at the bottom in an author's end note for people who are interested, though.

Also...should I pick one site and use the Chinese from it? Spellings seem to vary wildly from site to site, and I'm not sure they all have all the same phrases.

Ah, the things that happen when you get involved in a new fandom...

Serenity comic comes out tomorrow!!! *flails*

Updatey!

The Kitten!Cuddler!JayneFic is as done as I can make it. And I've discovered this neat thing where I can C&P it into NotePad and save it as an HTML doc instead of "publishing" it to HTML in WordPerfect. Dude. So much easier, especially since I tend to write in HTML anyway. So I'll probably post it here and let you guys tear into it before it goes up on FFN. Don't you feel special? My own personal guinea pigs...

Note to nodrogg: When you critique this thing, keep in mind that it's 1st person, Jayne's POV--and grammar goes out the window. But he's got a pretty distinct "voice," and I hope I've captured that. I'm still thinking about whether to post it at crit_sans_lube, because it's really fandom-specific as far as the POV goes. Not sure how many Firefly fans are on that particular board.

I made it a point this week to enter every icontest in every comm I'm a member of--which is thirteen. And I've discovered a distinct preference to do icons based on a theme or idea or quote rather than a screencap.

Here it is...Kitten!Cuddler!Jayne!

Title: Partners in Crime
Author: babies stole my dingo (agilebrit)
Fandom: Firefly
Rating: PG-13 for Jayne's potty mouth
Length: Short story (a little over 2500 words)
Disclaimer: Joss is the genius behind these characters; I am but a lowly follower. I make no money from any of this, so please don't sue me.
Written for: A rabid plot bunny that wouldn't stop biting my ankles. Blame jerib_78. She encouraged me...and therefore the kitten gets named after hers. You may also blame my husband, and (to a lesser extent) honorh for it.
Notes: Kaylee brings a kitten on board the Serenity, and it immediately begins making Jayne's life miserable.( Read more... )

Hit me, flist... *wibbles*
