+Dawn sez: Well. They're a little bit... happy, you know. Too happy, like they're going to fall apart and crash and burn. I can't help it; I see couples like that and all that springs to mind is my parents... or some of my friends from high school, you know. So high-school romance.
But I'm happy for them, especially for Mary Anne. I mean, she is my sister. It's not like I don't want her to be happy and fulfilled; I do; it's just her life right now is so far away from me.... we haven't been close since eighth grade but now it feels like we're lightyears apart, emotionally, mentally... I try to talk to her but I can't really connect and... I miss her.
Kaylee! Stop it! Stop flirting with Inara! This is a Sam/Jayne fic; that was the request! No, no, NO, stoppit, no flirting with Sam! I know Sam is hotter than a hot thing, but right now you need to hook her up with JAYNE. Yeah, I know, that's how I feel too. But Jayne is hot. I mean, Jayne might be hot, to a straight girl. Maybe Sam is straight. I mean... it's POSSIBLE. Anything is POSSIBLE. Oh... I hope this Sam-backstory is ambiguous enough; it's trying to be Sam/Daniel backstory but it makes more sense as Jack/Sam backstory but I'm NOT writing Jack/Sam! Kaylee! I SAID stop flirting with Inara.
Okay. Okay, you win. If you can't be with Sam, you can have the Inara-subtext. It's not like I can very well stop you, is it?
+"Shining Time Station" Weir is blonde because I have this fascination with the idea of blonde!Weir, with the way there are two characters and there's continuity between them but they are different; they look different; they have different personalities. And yet somehow they're the "same character" -- it's something that can really ONLY be explored in fanfic; it's an issue that doesn't come up in other kinds of writing... so I was determined, for a time, to write all pre-S1/8 Weir as blonde, although it's tricksy with backstory and all. Mostly, I want to experiment in writing the character -- I wrote Sam/Weir fic before there *was* brunette!Weir, and I don't want to lose that character just because there's another one of the same name.

I mean. A little. Sometimes.
