Prompt: 150) "Of things I'd rather keep in silence, I must sing." -- Beatritz or Beatriz de Dia, female troubadour.
Summary: Four of the Hurl Scouts, before they were.
Author's Notes: Characters aren't mine; in fact, I think that Shauna Cross and Drew Barrymore did a great job with the film. I'm just playing with Ms. Mayhem and her cohorts for awhile. I certainly don't own roller derby, although I am a player of the growing sport. The title comes from a song by Explosions in the Sky. Thanks to my beta

vilomsious and to

gehayi, for again running a superb ficathon.
Author's Notes, the second: Derby names can be a bit incongruous with real life names, so for the purpose of clarity and help if you don't happen to watch movies as neurotically as I do... Maggie Mayhem is Peggy, Smashley is Francine, Rosa Sparks is Tammy, and Bloody Holly is Rachael. This, then, is their origin story, where Whip It happens to be Bliss's.

And a figure of me.

And mix the pieces with water,
And mold again a figure of you,
And a figure of me.

Fandom: Battlestar Galactica (new)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: none
Prompt: 113: do authors who write Indian romances love the nation they endeavour successfully or unsuccessfully to describe? Do they, like Tecumseh, say, "And I, who love your nation, which is just, when deeds deserve it," or is the Indian introduced into literature but to lend a dash of vivid colouring to an otherwise tame and somber picture of colonial life? It looks suspiciously like the latter reason, or why should the Indian always get beaten in the battles of romance, or the Indian girl get inevitably the cold shoulder in the wars of love? -- Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake--literally "double life" ) (1861-1913) Mohawk Canadian poet, short story writer, journalist and performer.
