Beta request?  
I'm not done with my Dresden Files Ficathon fic just yet, but I thought it would be prudent to get a beta ready in case I end up cutting it close. It's bookverse, with spoilers up to and including White Night. There are not spoilers for Small Favor as far as I know. Anybody willing to be my beta when it's ready to roll?

I can has requests?  
Alright, request time! I need prompts, people, and stuff to do!

Usual rules apply: fic or graphics (icons, header, wallpaper). No slash because I don't do it well. Fandoms I can write something for are: Doctor Who (1&2), Firefly, SG-1 (1-9), SGA (1-3, though no guarantees it will be good), Dresden Files (TV), due South. Graphic fandoms are the same, though I can handle Season 3 Doctor Who, since I've seen it once, I just don't feel comfortable writing for those characters yet.

Go nuts, please. :-)

Rating: G
Length: 1122 words
Book or TV verse: TV
Characters: Harry, Murphy, brief mention of Anna
Summary: Fun in the snow.
Author's Notes: [info]featherjean asked for 'Harry/Murphy, snow'. So, here it is. The idea is one that's been rolling around in my head since I had a few throwaway lines about it in Child's Play, and it seems an appropriate time to use it. Fluffy good shippyness abounds.

You're not a girl, Murphy. You're a cop. )

Requesty Thing - Redux  
Let's try this again, since it didn't go so well as I hoped. I'm choosing even more not obscure of my not obscure music. :P

Below are song lyrics. Guess the song and the artist correctly and I will write a fic for you or make icons/wallpaper/a header for you, of your choice. One song per person.

1. I've fallen in love for the first time / in love with world that's real
"I Want to Break Free" by Queen, found by [info]guardian_chaos

2. I'm back to where I started / I'm chasing after you
"Hanging By a Moment" by Lifehouse, found by [info]lifeinsomniac

3. In the rain the pavement shines like silver / All the lights are misty in the river
"On My Own" from Les Miserables, found by [info]_medley_

4. I've seen angels fall from blinding heights / And you yourself are nothing so divine
"You Know My Name" by Chris Cornell, found by [info]wylt

5. Who says that every wish would be heard and answered / when wished on the morning star?
"The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog, found by [info]tigerkat24

6. There's a light at the end of this tunnel you shout / 'Cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
"Breathe (2 A.M)" by Anna Nalick, found by [info]featherjean

Requesty Thing  
Because I'm a leech, I'm stealing this idea from [info]_medley_.

Below are song lyrics. Guess the song and the artist correctly and I will write a fic for you or make icons/wallpaper/a header for you, of your choice. One song per person. I've tried to go with some of my not obscure selections. And stuff that's in English. Because I don't think anyone would recognize the Thai version of 'Part of Your World'. Including me, since I don't speak Thai. :P

1. One might fall and the other will stand / And one might give where the other won't bend

2. Rescue me from waiting on this line / I won't give up on giving you the chance to blow my mind.

3. And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us

4. Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn leaves /
That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain

5. Cryin' who's your partner, who's your darlin', who's your baby now? /
Who wakes up at night to pull you in?

"Summer Fly" by Hayley Westenra, found by [info]spacefiend

6. There's a hole in my soul / You can see it in my face / It's a real big place
"Feel" by Robbie Williams, found by [info]killash

7. So you've taken these pills / For to fill up your soul / And you're drinking them down with cheap alcohol

Requests or whatever...  
I like being challenged to write something to a theme, so I thought I'd put this out there to anyone who follows this journal. Feel free to leave me a request or suggestion or prompt or whatever and I'll try and write something for it. You can use anything you'd like, characters (including originals from anything I've written), situations or just a word. I would have to request no slash though, not because I'm opposed to it but because I don't do slash well. I think it's a talent and I don't think I have it. lol. Obviously I've only written Dresden Files stuff so far, but feel free to pull something from Firefly, Due South or Doctor Who (newer series). I'll see what I can do with the suggestions, but I make no promises they'll all get done. I'll do my best. :-)

Suggest away!

Cou-cou!
