Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Thanks, Dana.

I have a RIDICULOUS number of tabs open, to like twenty different Yuletide fandoms.
Dragons in Prohibition Chicago! Sports Night on Quidditch! Muppets at New Burbage! Scheming lawyers! Bronte Sisters! Jirel of Joiry! (Seriously: someone wrote Jirel of Joiry fic!)
I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. My boss is out: possibly nobody would notice...

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Jirel of Joiry! (Seriously: someone wrote Jirel of Joiry fic!)
Ooooo! Can you please link?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I need to read more Yuletide.
Clearly. I have some open to read! I've read a lot of Community, all the Cabin Pressure, most of the TTSS, but haven't even TOUCHED a lot of other stuff.
I'm pretty happy with the reception my Yuletide story got this year, considering I think it's the most obscure fandom I've written in.

The Lord of Joiry: [link]
There's also a novel-length (47K, okay a short novel) Ivan/Byerly adventure of awesome plottiness and worldbuilding.

There is also a story set in The Left Hand of Darkness, about a person who does not change sexes during their life: [link]
Beautifully written story.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I have really been expecting someone to spot at least one of my stories, but not yet! I thought I was more obvious than that.

I am generally no good at all at identifying most of my friends' writing, unless it's really unique like RthStewart, or one or two of my old pals from XF. But something about one of the Wimsey stories made me think of Betsy. I guess I'll find out if I was right on Sunday...
