How 'bout that.

Happy birthday, indy_go!!!

I wish you a wonderful birthday and a year full of all things good. But mostly I wish you a year of relaxation, of health, of happiness, and chock-full of love. May you be surrounded by the people you cherish and those who cherish you, and... just have a great birthday, my dear. You deserve it!

Find what you lost and get it back.

Last night, lostinapapercup and I were talking and I said give me a fic prompt and I'll probably have a story for you by tomorrow.

Prompt: Spike meeting Julia for the second time ever

For Paige, 12/26/07

Now, I don't usually write Cowboy Bebop fanfiction. Most of the stuff I've read has been pretty terrible, ill-conceived, badly characterized. I don't like Spike as some suave romantic hero because he's not Fabio, if you know what I mean. I like things fraught with peril: that's what the series is about. We don't know a lot about the early days of Spike's relationship with Julia, but those of you who know me know that I thrive absolutely on backstory and if it's not there, I'll make it up in a way I think works. Triangles fascinate me. I also like little slice-of-life things, and that's why this particular prompt appealed to me so much. With that in mind...

( Here you go, Paige. )

Huh, girl never gives up.

I'm in a writing frame of mind.

I'm looking for prompts.

I'll write three stories for three people, based on your prompts... as long as you prompt me for a canon I know.

( But... what choices do we have? )

So, if you're interested... is this mic on? Is anybody out there?

Edited to Add: Please note that comments now contain spoilers for Cowboy Bebop in case you haven't seen it and don't know what happens and if that's the case I ask you: what are you doing here? Heh, I jest. There are spoilers, and there will be spoilers before long for Samurai Champloo and Castle in the Air (Diana Wynne Jones).
