Title: The Will in the Wires
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Rating: PG at most.
Length: ~390 words
Content notes: Contains physical and emotional suffering inflicted on kids, but that's par for the course in this fandom. There's nothing that needs to be warned for, otherwise.
Author notes: Takes place during episode 17 of the original anime. (Which I've recently discovered and which is thus still a shiny new fandom for me!)
Summary: Ed gets his new limbs fitted. It hurts, but what else is new?

Title: Fannish Crypto-Lists
Fandom: Multifandom/meta
Rating: G

Notes/explanation:

Three cryptograms, in list format. If you're unfamiliar with this kind of puzzle, basically it's a simple code in which one letter is substituted for another. (e.g., A might become R, B become L, C become Z, etc.) Each list uses the same code for all entries, but the code is different for each list. Every item in the list will fit the list theme.

The way to go about solving these is to look for patterns, and to pay attention to how frequently and in what combinations the letters pop up. It's a good idea to keep a key to help you as you go: write out the alphabet and note the real letters underneath the code letters as you figure them out.

For those who need it, the answer key is here. That's a back-dated entry on my own LJ. I've done it that way because the last time somebody posted a puzzle, I printed it out so that I could work on it, and even though the solution was blanked out in the post, it still showed up on the printout, and I almost spoiled myself for the answers. I hope that's OK.

Rating: G
Length: 200 words

Summary: Jack Crichton leaves the Earth behind.

OK, I'll play. Although, uh, is everybody but me over on Dreamwidth?
