a mix of sadface-a da panda and jawsome!

1. RIP Captain Phil We'll all miss you. :(

2. OMG THE END OF SEASON THREE OF DEXTER WAS WORTH ALL THE CRAP. So uh, if a girl wanted to get ahold of Season 4, who might she have to blow to do that? OH MY GOD LUNDY!

3. The RPS poll is closed, and the end results are:

RPF COMMENT FIC CARNIVALE—March 6-7, 2010
Anon and de-anon stories welcome.
Prompts: trailer time, wrap party, a song and a dance

4. I might have done a bad bad thing last night, and plotted a fanfic. It involves a dead faerie prince, a mourning mother, a diplomatic liaison to the sidhe, a never ending snowfall, Torchwood climbing Snowden, and Suzie with some enchanted apples. And some funny funny references to Jack and Tam Lin. And it's not a party unless you quote Shakespeare at least twice. You know. Hah.

I just had to get that put there. Not doing the darkfest, not doing reel tw. DOING THIS. (AND JESUS PLEASE, DON'T OFFER ME ANY INFORMATION ABOUT: FAERIES, ELVES, TAM LIN, OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE WRITTEN ANY OF IT--I HATED GAIMAN'S VERSIONS, BTW--WELSH MYTHOLOGY, THE COMPLEXITIES OF ANY OF IT, ETC ETC ETC. This is precisely what I mean when I say that I DON'T CARE. It's like writing a vampire story and then having a "vampire expert" come in and tell you you're doin' it wrong, and it's really really frustrating and styming. If I need/want help, I will ask. Thanks guys.)

5. askance, man, it's like 8k and it's…half done? Blue saw the first part. :D

6. It looks as if Chinese New Year is being cancelled at Chinghaus for the first time since we started it, which blows mightily. We'll have to move to a restaurant and have them feed us. Suck factor: high. Upside: I won't have to clear my table. On the other hand, the window of possibility that arsenicjade will make it here from Illinois is looking slimmer and slimmer. :(

7. FIC SOON. AWWWW SHIT.

Blow me. Well. I could get you d/l links anyway.

Your fanfic sounds like awesome in ... funny fairy tale ways.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

W have a mild formatting issue that is going to slow us down. I'll get to that later.

haaahahah dl me.

Also, it's an awesome fic, and involves Owen turning to a tree.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

A tree. Doesn't sound like too much of a good time when you can only hang out and not do much of anything.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Ianto is frozen in ice and Tosh falls into a magical sleep. Jack is attached by imaginary faeries and falls off the mountain. whoops.

[laurab1.livejournal.com]

I'll finish up your thing, then, now the poll's closed :)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

YAY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Has cruentum provided you with Dexter, or do you still need it?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

:) I AM IN LIKE FLYNN.

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Enjoy it!

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

askance -- it is a beautiful thing! Trust me. :)

Oooh, I &hearts fairy tales! Score.

Sorry about the CNY snowpocalypse disaster! That sucks donkey balls. I hope you can still get leftovers from the restaurant.

I've never written RPS or had any interest in writing it, but I actually have an idea. :) Good to know the dates. Oh, wait, it has specific prompt topics, right? I hope my idea fits in with one of those. Intriguing fairy tale-ish fic idea.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not going to be a fairy take. I actually think all of this stuff is generally boring (I did an hour of research about caer siddi and queen mab and the mabingion last night and almost fell asleep right there), so think of it as...dark modern fantasy. :D

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

haaahahah YES. COME TO THE DARK SIDE.

ASnd you can post anon if you like!

[villeinage.livejournal.com]

Can I request a copy of links too? I saw amand_r's request for dl links and was all OOO! Because I've just about given up.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Shhhhhhhhhhh.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

Hey do I get a blowjob for it? Do I?

Kidding

PM me if Mandr hasn't PMed you.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

The prompts are listed in Mandr's post there actually:

trailer time
wrap party
a song and a dance

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU, HELPFUL COHOST!

[ophymirage.livejournal.com]

the more i read this, the more ilu bb. :D

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAAHAH AS LONG AS EVERYONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT ELVES/FAERIES/TRADITIONAL MYTHOLOGY realises that I didn't use it correctly and more over I don't care. The last thing I need is some SCA expert coming in to tell me that I used the incorrect version of Tam Lin.

I'mma a borrow and do halfsies and all kinds of shit. In fact, I think I'll base my elves on a mix of Hamilton's unseelie and Lackey's elves from the Serrated edge series. Awww yeah.

[ophymirage.livejournal.com]

I'm kind of a big fan of gaiman's versions of faeries myself. also, when I teach victorian folklore (and fairies and changelings and stuff) I point out that in original traditions, you DO NOT FUCK WITH FAIRIES because those mofos are 7' tall and DANGEROUS.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

NO NO NO. NOT LISTENING! LA LA LA LA.

[madder-rose.livejournal.com]

There ain't no viagra on that thar prompts list! Mayhap Anon can squeeze it ito the wrap party during one of her prolific bouts of writing...

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

You're going to have to do that, because it got one of the lowest vote counts! EVEN STEAK BEAT VIAGRA! LAWL.

[madder-rose.livejournal.com]

STEAK?! No wai! O.o

How can Steak be more inspiring than Viagra?! Great... pressure is on...

EtA: I keep hitting the wrong reply button, lol
