Flying into the Black (R)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL/FIREFLY
Pairing: Jim (Womack)/Blair
Length: 3500 words
Author on LJ: Jane Davitt

Why this must be read:
Once upon a time, there was a wonderful series called Firefly. A wonderful actor, Richard Burgi, had a character spot for one episode playing Lt. Womack, an evil, nasty, corrupt cop. Now, what if it turns out that Lt. Womack's senses are beginning to really cause him all sorts of problems. Oh, I know! Let's drop Blair into the Firefly universe. Blair is Blair, even if Womack insists of thinking of him as a Shephard. Now imagine how their first meeting might go...

This is a great story, well-imagined and wonderfully funny. Lt. Womack is just as powerless to resist Blair's charms/bossiness as Det. Ellison ever was. This story is very true to the Firefly 'verse while getting the fine line between Lt.Womack and Jim Ellison just right.

And like both The Sentinel and Firefly as TV series, this story leaves you wanting more.

I have trouble with understanding some concepts. One is how the evil overlords at work are figuring my pay these days. Another is hotlinking. My brain just doesn't really understand how that works.

But, the Audio Fic Archive wants people to link to their pages, Jinjurly (General Jinjur in LJ land) set up [livejournal.com profile] amplificathon partly so people would be pointed to the archive, since anything posted there is automatically added to the archive.

So I don't think there would be the slightest problem with linking to the download page each podfic has there. You have my permission to do anything you want with the podfics I've made and I'm betting Dodie and Cinderlily would feel the same way, since more ways for people to find podfics is a good, good thing,

Hotlinking is if you point at a link and a million people rush over to look at/download and the person's bandwidth disappears in a woosh. It's why if I put say a pic of RB up, I save it to my own space and point to it there, so the bandwidth drain is on me.

Of course, some people don't want you copying the pix, so in that case, you link..it's a minefield!

It's also bad to watch something on someone's site instead of saving to your own computer; if you only watch a vid once, it's the same use of BW as if you downloaded it, but if you keep on going back to watch it there, it mounts up for them.
