Fic: Ghost Lights (B7)

[thisbluespirit]

hetswap has been revealed now! My assignment was (in a truly shocking, astonishing, unbelieveable turn of events) for Paranoidangel.

(Although to be fair, usually she gets assigned to me, whereas I think I've only got her once before.)

Anyway, that meant I got to write some B7 Tarrant/Dayna fic (which, lol, was not super-popular over at the fest):

Ghost Lights (4930 words) by lost_spook
Chapters: 1/1

(I did write something else as well, but more about that anon, hopefully before the end of the day.)

You definitely also got me in the first ShipSwap - you went to all the trouble of leaving fake comments on the fic to try and disguise yourself! I think, as I said, it feels like more, because you also wrote quite a few Yule-treats for me. But definitely at least twice each now, anyway. :-)

I've written some things that count as 'masses' for me (like 10 or 15, even, and some of that have slowly racked up more over time) so I would say the same, except my Miss Marple fic for this Yuletide got recced by an author who has an LJ and now I've got 30+ comments on it. Which still isn't masses by mega-fandom standards, but it's pretty wonderful and amazing as far as I'm concerned! (It's always who you know, isn't it? Heh.)

I feel like I can't write B7 any more because I've written 7 fics :)

LOL, but who are Blake's 7, there's never seven of them! It would be out of keeping with B7 to stick at the correct number. ;-p

Oh, yes, I'd forgotten about that. Pity you can't do the fake comments thing any more :)

30+ is definitely masses. As is 10-15. Although I went and looked at my AO3 stats and the graph for comments shows my top fics are between 9.75 and 10.50 comments. I don't know how you get three quarters of a comment...

That is a very good point. In that case I will have to write some more B7 fic :)

\o/ Thank goodness for the show's inability to count!
