WHO WANTS SOME KARFLUKI?

1. Bruce Lee plays ping-pong with a nunchuck. It's Bad. Ass.

2. I haven't even finished introducing everyone yet, and my Big Bang is at 10K. Granted, about 3500 of that’s scraps of post episode one, with Jack and stuff, but. Yeah, I'm in love with my fic.

3. I keep having strange dreams. Last week, I dreamed about earthly_gnome at least three times (Jesus, man, learn how to make a pulled pork sandwich!). Then it was me and Jack Harkness as serial killers. But Thursday night I dreamt that I went to see my sister-in-law, kwanalicious where she was attending university (still! Sorry K! Maybe you were in grad school or something!), and I saw Tianyu there. He was there studying, and it was awkward, like I was all "YOU WERE DEAD" and he was all blushing, "yeah about that…" He paid a lot of lip service to getting back together, but it was clear that he had a new life there and possibly a girlfriend, and as I tried to like, be in his dorm room with him, all his friends were like, "who is this chick?" and it was clear that I was not supposed to be there. It's pretty clear how to interpret that dream (and K, sorry, but you knew and you were like, "Yeah, he asked me not to tell you."), but it bothered me all day. To the point when after dinner, when I was talking to someone and the conversation came around to Tianyu, as it sometimes does, I actually, for the first time in my life wanted to say, "Could we just not talk about Tianyu?" I mean, it wasn't their fault and I wasn't made at them for bringing him up, lord knows I do it all the time. This is the first time in which I would just rather not deign to say his name or whatever. All the real reasons I have to be mad at him in life and I get pissed to not-speaking over a fictional dream.

Of course today is his birthday, which is both strange and sad. He would have been thirty today, and I would have made many many jokes. And he would have rolled his eyes and given me the finger. And then we would have had "OMG OLD PEOPLE ARE THIRTY!SEX" because that is what we did. Seriously, I got pregnant the one month we were using as a dry run for the actual babymaking effort. We weren't going to start "trying in earnest" until April. March was just for fun. Whoops.

4. Thanks everyone for the kind words last week. I just couldn't think of things to say in response. But I saw them all, and I was touched. Touched by a ninja. No fr srs, it was nice of all of you.

5. Uhm. I made a big bang for myself because I needed a deadline, and then some crazy people(flocked b/c he's a precious snowflake, Crue is) also signed up. So if you feel like it, we're going for it. The only requirement is that at some point in time messy sandwiches must make an appearance. I don't know how that started, but there it is. I hear that blue_fjords is doing it for SPN, BUT I HAVE YET TO SEE A SIGN UP. COME ON, MY LOVELY. MAKE IT PAN-FANDOM. BI….FANDOM. YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR LABELS. LIKE ARMANI AND HANES.

6. Speaking of fanfic, MAN, YOU PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BUSY over at touchyerwood. Page six alone needs at least three handy wipes.

7. And lastly, thanks so much for everyone who voted for me over at the Children of Time Awards. I am so pleased that you liked the Het and the Three or Moresome (and to win close to Foxay! Rowr!), but that you voted for When Taken Apart when I know it's depressing as hell…I was chuffed and thanks so very very much. And congrats to everyone and their mum for winning! It's like my friendslist came all over the page! Yaaaaaaay!

Okay, so I wasn't gonna leave ANOTHER comment on your LJ tonight, but HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT BRUCE LEE THING?

Dude, people can talk all the shit they want about Chuck Norris, but that was like more badass than if Chuck and Samuel Jackson were combined into some sort of BadAss Muthafuckin Clone, given the voice of Isaac Hayes, and filmed by the Wachowski Bros with writing credits by the Coens.

he beat their asses in DOUBLES with KUNG FU KICKS IN BETWEEN. HOLY SHIT.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! IT WAS FREAKING SWEET!

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

Cool, I'm a crazy person.

I don't know how it happened but we saw it and though it was a great idea. Then again it think it helps get the ball rolling if you really have a idea you really want to do.

Strangely all our posts are flocked.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAAHAHAHAH WHY ARE YOU ALL FLOCKED!?? UNFLOCK! OTHERWISE I LOOK INSANE.

WAIT...

Naw, you do what you want to do.

[kwanalicious.livejournal.com]

I hate those kinds of dreams where you wake up all irrationally angry at someone for something they did in a DREAM. No need to apologized to me TWICE; I'm the one who should be sorry for not telling you in the dream.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

You were all like,"uhm, yeah, see this is what he wanted," and I'm all O_o?

[kwanalicious.livejournal.com]

:(

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAHAHAH IT WASN'T YOU, MAN.

It was freaky, though.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

OI! They are all flocked!

HAHA. But I'm sure oeople could be convinced to reproduce them in a comment of awesome should there be desire (uh... yeah).

And dude, I so don't know about the messy sandwiches. lol. I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THAT.

Well. Sorta

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

YOU DID INDEED. YOU SIGNED ON FOR IT.

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

I am signing up!!!! I am!!!! Today, hopefully. I am not sure what we are doing. We appear to be operating at the whims of a two-year-old. HALP! I think there will be a zoo at some point, but not, like, a well-known zoo. This cause me more than a little trepidation. OMG, I am going to be cataloging animal welfare violations in my head!

Anyhow. Totes signing up for the Mandr Big Ass Big Bang. Congrats on the COTA(s)! I'll admit to having voted for you. It's Shake 'n' Bake, and I helped.

Okay. Kid. Tootles.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

tHANK YOU, MY SHAKE AND BAKE DARLING.

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

hahahaha! Messy sandwiches has become a thing! Oh I am totally taking credit for that one :) just cause i'm a needy snowflake some days and I wanna go around sticking mah fingers in other peoples pies! :) C says I should get writing and join the fun. Given my usual word counts tho it'd be more like mah microscopic bang! LOL

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I didn't include a word count, though! Come on. Make 10 k your goal. You can do that! That's 14 pages in 10 pt font!

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

Okay, dammit I'm easy. Also why am I having thoughts about writing Jack in NY in the 1980s meeting up with Vincent from Beauty and the Beast and kicking ass.

actually I'm frakkin terrifed, but goals are good things, right?

lololol

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I needed someone to inflict a deadline one me, and there wasn't one handy, which is why I made this up! Deadlines are great! You have 4 months!

[nancybrown.livejournal.com]

I hate it when you have that dream that messes up the whole day or days after. You have the double whammy of "bad thing" and "it didn't really happen, so wtf, brain?" :/

*passes out wipes*

Congrats on the COT awards! I campaigned for you. :D

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

WHAT? CAMPAIGNED? NAAAAAW. No one should do that. Aww, thanks, tho.

I hate unsettling dreams like that. I try to type them out when I have them, so I remember the plot. Nothing is worse than having one of them, forgetting them, and just remembering the unsettling feeling but not knowing what it's for.

[neifile7.livejournal.com]

I dread those dreams. They come and go. Yes, there are such things as ghosts and hauntings and big blurrings between sleep and waking and all that, and it's hard to know what to do with it. HUGS YOU ANYWAY.

Gah, I do not think I have a longfic in me, except the big costive one that has been sitting in my gut a year, so argh. May have to miss the fun. Unless I can write something that is NOTHING BUT MESSY SANDWICHES. THAT'S THREESOMES TO YOU, MY FRIEND.

This is tempting, I must admit.

Anyhow, yay that your kinkmeme appeal got the ball(s) rolling in Jack's giant manpaws. And huge, huge congrats for the so-deserved CoTs, which is a little faith-restorative (honestly, I wanted to see Gold Dust win so badly, and When Taken Apart too -- just to know that yes, those two hit the collective sweet spot we're all trying to reach betimes \o/).

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Thanks muchly. and yay on the kinkmeme! Look at that! I'm pleased as fuck!

My BB starts at 10K. COME ON. COME ON. JUST BECAUSE MINE WILL BE 260 K DOESN'T MEAN YOURS HAS TO BE.

[firefly124.livejournal.com]

7. Congrats!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I loves me some Karfluki! I was listening to their new album last weekend, so I'm in groove.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

THAT'S RIGHT! GROOVE ON IT!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

1. that is fucking AWESOME!
5. i would sign up... but i just don't think i could finish it :(
and then i'd feel bad and i don't like making me feel bad

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I don't like making you feel bad, either.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

i could do it in secret and then SURPRISE everyone (by 'everyone' i mean 'me')

[alba17.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on the awards! I was wondering why everyone was mentioning messy sandwiches. LOL

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

haaahahahah I think valancy said it in the comments to the original sign up, and we went with it!

[alba17.livejournal.com]

Why not? Now I want to write something just to include messy sandwiches. How about a fic in which every scene includes a messy sandwich? The messy sandwich challenge. I can definitely see Jack in a messy sandwich scene. And Ianto with his tucked in napkin. Still makes me laugh.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

JOIN US IN THE BIG ASS BANG.

[alba17.livejournal.com]

Ack, no! Long doesn't appeal to me/iz scary/I don't have the writing ability. The longest I've done is 9k and that was terrible (well, it was over a year ago).

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

How about a collection of connected ficlets?

[alba17.livejournal.com]

About messy sandwiches, LOL. Actually, that's not a bad idea, I mean the connected ficlets. Optional messy sandwiches.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

You'd only have to have messy sandwiches in one of them.

[earthly-gnome.livejournal.com]

WHA?!?

Leaved my pulled pork out of this.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Seriously, we did an exorcism on this storefront so that we could have a restaurant there. Then two days before it opened, you told me that you didn't know how to shred pork for the sandwiches (which were like the ONLY thing on the menu), and I went in the back kitchen, (it was candlelit and we were okay with that for some reason), and you had this piece of porn, and you kept cutting into bite size squares and saying, "That doesn't look right."

And I was like, "OMG YOU HAVE TO PULL IT APART IN SHREDS WITH TWO FORKS."

I think I was agitated because we had like three hours to shred two metric tonnes of pork.
