Sometimes I am a good person!

Hopefully this time I won't fail miserably like I did at the marriage auction. (Person who won? If you see this, I'm willing to refund you or something. I can keep attempting, but I don't know. I fail at life.)

Also, because I haven't done it yet:

( Fan cliche meme thing. )

HEY PEOPLE!

You know what the world needs?

MORE DCU THREESOMES!

Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a community for 'em?

WELL GUESS WHAT? THERE IS! dcx3!

Something shiny to the first person who writes and posts some Dick/Roy/Kon!

Sometimes I have these strange cravings, okay?

That's dcx3!

PS Also, write Kon threesomes without Dick in 'em. He's five behind Dick and we're trying to get him to catch up.

Do you like Tim/Bernard?

You know you do.

Maybe you've been thinking, "gee, I'd love to write some Tim/Bernard, but goshdarnit, the right challenge just hasn't popped up!"

WELL NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO HELP US CHOOSE THE NEXT CHALLENGE!

I love RPing. However, there are two problems I often have with it. First of all, I want to play everyone. Second of all, I hate applying and huge amounts of rules and that sort of thing. I'm in a roleplay right now that's pretty fun. (on_thecouch. Join it! We need more DC people!) But even as unstructured as that can be, there's one RPing community I've discovered which I think has the potential to be even more random crazy fun. It's very new, but check out mini_rps.

I wasn't sure whether I wanted to get myself into a new RP community, but then I read this in the userinfo:

The Final Word


I think of this community as the sketch-comedy/improv equivalent of the grand theater that is online roleplay. Self contained and minimally scripted. Therefore I share with you the single best piece of improv advice I've ever received. This came from an improv teacher who was part of Chicago's famous Second City troupe, the one that regurgitates SNL stars after breakfast each morning.

Rule #1 of Improv

NEVER SAY NO.


It may not be what you had in your head but if the other person offers you an opening, take it. If someone comments on your ugly-ass pajamas, you are not allowed to protest that you are in fact wearing a suit and tie. That's what makes it challenging and exciting. That's what makes it improv instead of scripted theater. In this case, that's what makes it RP.

FINALLY an RPing community that understands Improv! I absolutely love this part of roleplaying, and yeah, sometimes you simply have to protest in bigger RPs if the other person is godmodding or whatever, but I almost never do. Just accepting what happens is how it works, and why RPing is fun. I mean, it goes both ways, sure, but just saying yes is how it works best.

So yeah, join up. It's pretty small right now, and it'd be cool if there were more DC people. You can just use your normal journal and everything too.

Agh. Got caught in an ice storm that wiped out the power for my school and most of the surrounding area. They were talking about how it might take days to fix which, luckily, didn't happen. But agh. Not so fun. At least I got ten hours of sleep and the fun of crunching frozen grass. Hee! And my Friday class was cancelled. But my battery on my computer ran out and I had nothing to DO so I ended up sleeping. With a high pitched keening noise in the background due to the building telling us that NO DUH, something was wrong.

Sooo I'm finally writing again. Something for heartbart's Twelve Days Challenge. And something that was going to be part of the Twelve Days fic but I decided not to include that I'll probably post at some point. It features baby Bart and Jenni. Also on that note...SIGN UP FOR THE CHALLENGE! There are still six slots open! GO DO IT!

And in other news, the holidays approach, and, on the off-chance some of you actually have money to spare in these hard times and were wondering what your poor, college-student fanfic writer friend wants (Besides food), check out my wishlist! Mostly comic books on the list. Some DVDs, a few T-shirts, an action figure, but yeah, mostly comics. I'm predictable like that!

Yay! Power!

First and foremost!

Twelve Days of Christmas Bart Challenge!

Sign up! SIGN UP LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW! So far there are only three slots taken! THAT MEANS THERE ARE ONLY NINE LEFT! GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE HOT!

Second - Sorry to all the people to whom I promised drabbles. Turns out my NaNoWriMo withdrawal is seriously harshing my jibe and drabble prompts aren't helping. I may finish more later...but I wouldn't count on it.

Third - Anyone interested in roleplaying Cassie for on_thecouch? Because I play Kon there and we really, really need one. Poke me on AIM if you're interested. I'm Shananagin1618 and I'm always on. This might be felonazcorp's fault.

Fourth - Anyone watching the new TV Show Merlin? Because it's very, very gay. Historically inaccurate to a point that I've got to tell myself it's an AU just so I can sit through it, but very gay.

Here's a summary:

Uther Pendragon = stubborn old bastard.
Arthur Pendragon = a dick, but a noble one.
Morgana = Possibly lesbian.
Gaius = Morgan Freeman, except white.
Merlin = an idiot and a dork.
Guinevere = adorable and a dork.
Nimue < Madame Xanadu.
Lancelot = Batman.

Remember writing chat thingy?

It's back!

Go to the AIM chat writingchatthingy. If you need help, you can poke me at superexraye12.

Come on and do it! It is awesome madness! And this way we get more DC people there!

PLOT BUNNIES FOR ADOPTION!
Stuff I'd write if I had time.

1. Bart never became the Flash. He and Inertia were both kidnapped by Inertia from the Titans of Tomorrow arc, who for some reason didn't vanish. Or maybe it's an alternate universe Inertia or something. Doesn't matter. Point is, alt!Inertia takes Bart's place like Inertia always was supposed to, becomes the Flash, etcetera, but real!Inertia escapes and kills him. Now he's taking heat for killing the Flash, even though he knows the Flash isn't really Bart, so he has to deal with angry heroes, angry rogues, and trying to find a way to free Bart. I'd write this, but a) no time, and b) there are people who'd handle Inertia much better than I would.

2. Kon is getting married. Possibly to Tana, but that part is only kind of important. He wants both his genetic doners at the wedding, though. Clark'll be there, but there are three possible people who could have been the human doner. I was thinking Lois, Lex, and Paul Westfield (the original human doner before they retconned it as being Lex.) Or maybe Bruce, I don't know. They go through wacky hijinks. Yes, I came through this while watching Mama Mia. What? I had to entertain myself somehow!

Also, people, claim stuff for the DC/Marvel ficathon! it'll be really cool! And there are so many unclaimed prompts! Come on, you know you want to write about Wade Wilson annoying the hell out of Slade Wilson!

Have you ever been reading my stuff and thought, "Gee, this is great, but I really wish I could pay for this and have the money go to helping win the fight against the California initiative which will legally destroy existing same-sex marriages and ban any further ones?"

Well, now you can!

So go bid!

ETA: I'm also offering a fan/love/stalker letter!
