"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

...I think I've achieved Audiofic!

Should anyone be interested in listening to an MP3 of Yahtzee's rather delightful Edward Scissorhands/A Series of Unfortunate Events story 'The Gargantuan Garden' , I'm fairly sure that I've uploaded an MP3 to MegaUpload.

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

Still not anywhere near finished with Yuletide and moving closer to despair than panic

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

GO DANA!

AND OTHER SUCCESSFUL YULETIDERS!

(from those of us who knew better than to even try...)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Dude! I happened to have reloaded the main page just in time to catch Nestra's as the most recent upload.

Congratulations -- with 1 day to go, you're in like the 85th percentile for distance-from-the-deadline.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

From a fanfic I just read:

“Yes?” He drawled out, deepening the nonexistent accent life had left him with.

How does one deepen something that doesn't exist?

How did life take away his accent to begin with?

How do you leave someone with something non-existent?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"Gone were the soft consonants and liquid vowels he had acquired growing up in the delta. Life, that hard bitch, driving him north and midwest, had muddied his pristine dialect, had eroded the cadences of his childhood even as it stripped him of other attributes and beliefs he'd steeped in as he grew to adolescence"?

Erm, he was sort of a teabag of regional accent, I guess.

As an early Christmas present to myself, I have rationalized my way out of taking a pinch hit.

"Yes, you just reread those books, but she wants a story focused on someone who's not your favorite character. It's probably already taken. Just be happy you managed to write one story."
