I'm sorry to say there will probably be very few posts for me until late December (my holidays) because school is my priority right now, and apparently calculus waits for no woman. Beta will still be available, and if for some reason, someone wants to contact me, I'll try to check my PMs every evening.

Live long and prosper.

Hey FF.netters, It's MelloMania! You can call me Mel. Or Lo. Or Ia. But not Man, since I'm a girl, and that'd be weird.

I tend to write humor, a lot in the Whedonverse. I'm trying to branch out now, but that might take a while.

Pairings, well, I don't really bother with them. If it's canon, I deal. If it isn't, I accept. The only ones I REALLY can't stand are Willow/Kennedy, and, umm...I guess that's the only one.

As for Mary Sues and Self Inserts, it's always a good laugh to read hopelessly unaware Suethours doing their thing, but the fact is: I DON'T DO SUE. Original characters are good- if they're done properly. I try to avoid OCs all together because I'm not very good at creating characters - that's part of the reason I write fan fiction, not original fiction. On the topic of Mary Sues, have you done the Litmus test? Link:

The status of my multi chapter, One or the Other is in-progress. Chapters should be posted weekly, usually on Thursday or Friday, because I write during my English class, which is so boring, and I've found it's a great time to write, since it doesn't look as suspicious as doing it in, say, gym class.

Also, a note on my stories - Fixed is first. Read it first. Unless you want to keep up the tradition of FOX airing Firefly in the wrong order, in which case, One or the Other, then Fixed.

Feel free to fill out orders and post/send them to where you see fit. I made this to take a break from being snarky, but if you'd like to order a unit, I suppose you could send it in.

“YOUR CREATIONS” ORDER FORM

Name:

Age:

Country:

Do you own any other units?

If so, which ones?

Do you have a criminal record?

If so, what is on it?

Is your credit card valid?

Are you eligible for our Buy one, get one free promotion?

(Just kidding! Like we’d ever give you a deal).

Which unit do you want? (List all that apply).

Would you like an owner’s guide with it? (Guides can be found online, but for some reason, some stupid people want a paper copy. Just to kill the environment, I guess).

Are you willing to accept the terms and conditions including:

-You must cover all costs including hospital, food, clothing, and oil changes.

-You must make sure any underage units are attending a school of some type, unless the unit falls under any of these categories:

-Genius

-Demon that can be easily identified as such

-If your unit goes on a murderous rampage (which they usually don’t, but we might as well cover everything), you MAY NOT hold our company responsible, just as when your child goes on a murderous rampage, you MAY NOT hold the doctor that delivered them responsible.

If you agree, please provide your e-mail and contact information, and your unit will be shipped to you within five days of our receiving your order. If you would like to cancel your order, or if you’re too impatient to wait for it to arrive and you have to know where it is RIGHT NOW(!!), contact us at

/BuyMore (Chuck related)

/whedon (Mutant Enemy related)

/other (Other related)

But we’d appreciate if you didn’t. We get enough annoying e-mails as it is.

Also on the topic of Owner's Manuals, I'm taking requests for any character you could possibly think of. Go crazy. Want Spock? We've got Spock. Want Barney Stinson? We've got LOTS of Barney Stinson (at half off!)! Want Link? We've got Link! Want Sue Sylvester? Too bad, I dislike Glee. Want Dean Thomas? Want some bubblegum? Want a LIFE?

ME TOO!

Just private message. First come first serve!

On a more serious note, I'd like to announce to the public that I'd really enjoy working on a fic with someone...anyone, really. Maybe I could help out a newbie, or work on improving my skills with an established member. If anyone's interested, or has a story in mind, feel free to pitch. I'll work on nearly any book fandom, so go for it. Include me in your awesomeness.
