They should film it and show it at Chrismakkah.

Sniffle.

In reading the Nilly praises, I got this awesome(ly horrible) idea of filking "Nilly" to the tune of "Mandy." And then imagining DB singing it.

However, I have not the brains to do it tonight. Perhaps I shall in the morning.

I don't know if I've mentioned yet how much it sucks that I'm not in L.A. this week. But I'm mentioning it again if I have. Everybody at the party have a great time without me.

(sniff)

Please don't. There's a reason they picked that song to make fun of.

Yeppers.

Since when is filking bad songs a bad thing?

Hi.

I know this should probably go in the fanfiction board/forum/whatchawhoozit, but I don't know how Wonderfalls friendly that place is, and I'm wondering about interest level.

See, I'm in the process of writing a Wonderfalls fic that takes place after Karma Chameleon and after BtVS the Series, where Buffy settles in Niagara with Dawn, after shipping off a new slayer who was living there to Giles in England. So she's retired.

There'll be no vampires or anything mystical like that (well, besides the Muses); it's just Buffy in the Wonderfalls world. What I'm doing now is trying to write an episode-like story to introduce Buffy into it, and later, try to follow the series as though Buffy were a supporting character in it, like Mahandra, Jaye's family, and Eric......(Eric who I'm cutting out for various reasons *waits for furniture to be thrown*)

And if those of you reading this are going, "But he's a big part of the later episodes!"....well, that's the point. It's a challenge.

This'll be the first time I've written something other than Jossverse fic, and for a while I resisted even attempting Wonderfalls because of how well and smartly it's written (not to mention the quick wit) but then I couldn't resist. I just thought it'd be neat to bring Buffy in (and she and Jaye *were* both Chosen by something in the universe), and she's also more familiar to me, so it's like a little bit of a crutch.

Now that I've rambled, would anybody wanna see this? I've written the first, full scene so far, with other random snippets, so it's far from finished, but at the very least, I guess I'm hoping to see if I captured Wonderfalls and Jaye at all, or if I completely suck.

Thanks for reading.

Damn....that was long. My apologies.

sure. i'd be interested. i haven't read any fanfic in a very long time.

Sweet. Would you mind if I emailed you the first scene to get your impressions?

sure. profile addy is good.

In honor of Judy in "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been," here's an excerpt from Slate's coverage of the new Dairy Queen drink, which it refers to as "The Tragic MooLatte":

A friend recently alerted Chatterbox that Dairy Queen is marketing a new frozen drink called the MooLatte. Isn't that, he observed, er, kind of in poor taste? What he meant was that "MooLatte" sounds a lot like "mulatto," which is a word, not in much use nowadays, that describes a person whose father is white and mother is black or (less common in bygone days) the other way around. The "tragic mulatto," typically a beautiful woman who passes for white and thrives for a time in white society, only to be cast out after her pitiable taint becomes known, was a stock character in literature and popular culture well into the 20th century.

It gets better in "Tragic MooLatte Revisited: The Houston Press quizzes Dairy Queen" in which the Houston Press reporter proposes the High Yellow Butterscotch Sundae and the Octoroonie (eight mixed flavors) to the befuddled DQ rep. "Malisow's ensuing Ali G-style interview, as related in the Aug. 12 Houston Press, was so extraordinary that I felt compelled to ask both Connelly and Malisow whether any of it was made up. They assured me it was genuine."
