Item 47 (Marvel Short Film)

I love how this story shows some of the effects of the Battle of New York. One of the great things about the MCU is the expanded canon, and this short shows that off nicely. I'm happy to read crossover with the rest of the MCU, as long as these two are the focus of the story.
Extremely optional prompt #1: What are these two up to now after the fall of SHIELD?
Extremely optional prompt #2: What was it like for these two to adjust to their new jobs?

Celestial Matters - Richard Garfinkle
This is a world that's fascinatingly similar and different to ours. There's a lot going on, and it's brain-expanding to think about.
Extremely optional prompt #1: What's this world like in other places and/or times?
Extremely optional prompt #2: How did this world change after the events of the book?

#GoGetThoseGeckos | Foton-M4 Mission
This whole mission is a wonderful setup for a science fiction story. It's ridiculous and tragic at the same time. I'm fine with ridiculous crack on this one, or crossover, as long as the geckos (or fruit flies) get some agency.
Extremely optional prompt #1: a fix-it fic that saves the geckos in some way.
Extremely optional prompt #2: A tragic story that gives the geckos or flies some part in the story other than unknowing victims. Did they sabotage the satellite themselves for some reason?

Revolution 9 (Song)
This is the crazy one, but if you signed up for it, I believe you can do it. Any sort of narrative made out of the content of this song would just be awesome.

So, that fic exchange from my last post? I got a wonderful story about the Epliplectic Bicycle with lots of other amazing Edward Gorey references. Written by the wonderful

marginaliana . There's Utter Zoo creatures! And abecedary bits! So you know you want to go read it.

I also wrote a story about Wild Things and boats if you enjoy such things.

So, I wrote some fanfiction last year!
( One drabble, two at around 140 words, one ~1500, and one at almost 6000 )

None of this would have been possible without the help of my beta readers:

I have a post up today at my company's tech blog about using OpenSCAD to create 3d objects, specifically a plane-based d20:

A Visit to William Blake's Inn - Nancy Willard

This book is so beautiful and I love the feel of it. It's neat to have a story that's a bit related to Blake's worldview.
Extremely optional prompt #1: Do these characters stay in touch with each other throughout their lives?
Extremely optional prompt #2: How did these characters find themselves going to William Blake's Inn?

Fox Steals Cell Phone and Sends Text Message (November 2012 News Story)
I love the idea that we have this text that originated in some way from a non-human sender. It's very tempting to try to get some meaning out of it.
Extremely optional prompt #1: What was this event like from the fox's point of view?
Extremely optional prompt #2: Does the text have some sort of meaning?

Revolution 9
This is the crazy one, but if you signed up for it, I believe you can do it. Any sort of narrative made out of the content of this song would just be awesome.

moriwen1 wrote me an amazing story for The Exchange at Fic Corner. If you are a fan of the Iliad or of Fox in Socks (and odds are good that you are) you want to read it. It's a tale of the epic war of the Tweetle Beetles, pulling in theology and myth from elsewhere in Fox in Socks.

I have a post today on Safari Books Online's tech blog about a PostScript injection attack I wrote for the Mystery Hunt:

I wrote two stories for Yuletide this year:

( Talking to Strangers (The Master and Margarita) )

( Omne pro Nomine Magno (The Aeneid) )

Current Mood: accomplished
Current Music: "Burn that Candle" by Emmylou Harris

I received two excellent Yuletide presents.

About the Twitter robot romance "Love Doesn't Have Restrictions" I will just repeat what I said on Twitter:

If you ship @pentametron / @Stupidcounter, read my wonderful #yuletide present http://archiveofourown.org/works/591868 . If not, read it anyway and you will.

About "Inverter" I will say more: I wasn't the nominator for Chrononauts, but it seemed like a neat idea, so I requested it. I wasn't expecting an excellent six-thousand-word love story that's revealed from two different directions, with a structure that reminded me of Delany. It's a story that would be hard to write for any other fandom. If you like time travel stories, you should check it out.

Thank you to both of my Yuletide gifters!

Do any of you want my 1964-era GE Trimline Stereo 400 record player? Includes automatic changer, but needs (probably minor) repairs. I'd rather give it to a friend than sell it to a store.

Current Mood: house-cleaning

Hey you people what read my journal:
If you have ever seen the movie "Yellow Submarine" then you need to go read the story I received for Yuletide, "(How Does It Feel To Be) One of the Beautiful People" at http://archiveofourown.org/works/299072 right now. It's a glimpse into the early history of Pepperland, including the motivations of the founders and the first defense against the Meanies. And it's also a sweet look at a character who both is and isn't an original character. So go read it!

Current Mood: grateful

I am likely to be away from the Internet tomorrow. If so, I will be back on sometime on Monday.

Thank you very much for writing a story for me!

( General intos and not-so-intos )

( Yellow Submarine )

( Teen Girl Squad )

( Revolution 9 )

Thanks, person who

requests "Any", but then uses the optional details to specify characters in a limiting way, or to ask for characters that weren't nominated

for making life significantly more difficult for people who don't abuse the system and like more abstract fandoms and/or legitimately aren't picky.

Current Mood: confused
