Fic: The Usual Insanity

Written for belantana for the crossover meme. (The prompt being Evie from The Mummy meeting someone from The West Wing. I don't propose for the others to be this long, but belantana kind of challenged me to introduce her to the show, which is new to me, too. I couldn't include Toby or Leo, but they get refs.)

Story: The Usual Insanity
Author: lost_spook
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 2578
Characters/Pairings: Evelyn O'Connell, Sam Seaborn. Also Donna Moss, Josh Lyman, CJ Cregg, President Bartlett.
Warnings: Late S1, None. (The only thing that could even count as a spoiler refers to something in the first 20 mins of the series.)

Summary: There’s a crazy, beautiful librarian (or, possibly a ghost), in Sam’s office. With an urn. Nobody else is surprised.

( And about the urn )

30 Days of Telly Meme - Day 1

Stolen from curuchamion. (With the disclaimer that I can't guarantee to post every day, but I will make 30 posts.)

Day 01 - A show that should never have been cancelled: Blake's 7

It wasn't meant to end with that episode. And I would have liked more. :-( Four seasons, I know, so it could have been worse, but I would have liked more. And I love that S4 ends as it does (I'm keeping spoiler-free for this) and yet Chris Boucher says on the commentary, "It was only meant to end the season!" Looking at the finales for S1-3, that isn't all that surprising. For something with a budget probably smaller than DW, it never lacked in daring when it came to storytelling. And they could remake it now, using the universe setting, but we can't have those characters back. (Or they might try that, but that would be bad, bad, bad. Remakers of TV shows have to learn that the original cast do have something to do with the success of a series. Just a teeny, tiny bit.)
