I suspect it's supposed to mean "she had bad dreams", personally.

The engorgement threw me. Is she full? Beyond satisfaction? Congested with blood? Can you be agitated and replete?

Friends don't let friends abuse the thesaurus! But I'm not her friend, and therefore I am allowed to beat her with a Roget's.

Also, the suggestion posts for yuletide are up. God help the mods.

Lord have mercy on their souls.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

a tumultuous engorgement of chimera.

With the aid of answers.com, I interpret this phrase (giving her the benefit of the doubt) as follows: a noisy, disorderly and fanciful mental illusion which is congested with blood. Probably this supports Dana's 'bad dream' hypothesis.

Without the benefit of the doubt, it becomes: an individual who has received a transplant of genetically and immunologically different tissue, who is eating ravenously or voraciously to satiation and tends to cause tumult. On which basis I'd lean towards a sneak description of a resident of Sang Sacre if I thought it was that clever.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can I just say, if I were one of the yuletide mods, I would kill people? Kill them dead with a big old killing instrument of death? Because I so would.

Someone's already submitted Firefly! Well, at least it isn't Harry Potter.

Also, Firefly? Not an obscure fandom.

I was bemoaning the lack of reading comprehension skills in fandom with tzikeh just the other day.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Someone's already submitted Firefly!

I noticed that when I peeked in the thread earlier today. Do I dare check back in? Is there stupidity? Is there entertaining stupidity?

Someone already submitted "The Inside" as an obscure fandom, so the only reason I have to go to the thread would be for the sheer fun of it.

There's no back-and-forth, so really there's not much opportunity for entertaining stupidity. Several repeats of various kinds, though, either in-thread or stuff that was in the challenge last year.

ETA: Gummi Bears! Oh, God, someone must do a Gummi Bears/Care Bears crossover. Clearly.

Hey. New board.

I recently rewatched most of the first season of Gummi Bears. I could TOTALLY write Gummi Bears fic. Sadly, I am unfamiliar with the Care Bears.

However, Gummi Bears / The Inside strikes me as, seriously, the weirdest crossover imaginable. I may have to write it just in case. Can you imagine Mel on Gummy Beary Juice? Cuz i can't, but I WANT to.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

She'd need a (lot of) cigarette(s)

You know, Gummi Bears is oddly ficcable.
