I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

She now rested comfortably, but lifeless in a hospital bed in Michael’s realm.

She's comfortable, she's just dead.

The lovely patient needed bathing, grooming, and especially designed exercises that not only prevented her muscles from atrophying but also allowed Michael to wallow in her closeness.

And again...eww.

And I couldn't bear to do any editing of this part:

The letter read, “Your Royal Highness, I am now in the last leg of my life and thus the conclusion of my capital punishment. I need to unburden myself to you, not to gain your forgiveness or to reach a heavenly plane, but to give my daughter the life I denied her while I lived. Proof of my parentage is contained in this Internet address and I would appreciate if you allowed her to read it when you deemed her ready. You will also find in this link the necessary information to return her memory.”

Michael read every word over and over and then passed the information to his scientists. The process needed six months to completely develop and then the memory containing vials could be introduced into the blonde woman’s mind. Hopefully that would be the end to this dark episode and Nikita would return to Michael and help in the reconstruction and hopefully population of the Planet. Michael suddenly regained some of his deflated confidence and on this the 180th day of her coma, Michael decided to go forward with the re-introduction of her anamnesis.

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

And again...eww.

Especially given the deadness.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I am now in the last leg of my life

I've heard of the human race and the trousers of time, but surely this isn't quite what's meant...

and then the memory containing vials could be introduced into the blonde woman’s mind

Are we talking surgical implantation? Or, assuming that she means "the memory contained within the vials", I also have a picture of someone pouring it in via her ear.

and help in the reconstruction and hopefully population of the Planet

So the Big Plan is to reanimate her, recover her mind, and then make her have lots of babies? Right.

Michael suddenly regained some of his deflated confidence and on this the 180th day of her coma, Michael decided to go forward with the re-introduction of her anamnesis.

Suddenly? Is this before or after the procedure that takes six months?

Dana, I'm so glad it's you rather than me reading this story in its full form.

So His Royal Highness has Nikita's pensieve?

Must pimp.

Read this

Let's just say, this is Scully introducing herself to Angel Investigations:

Scully thought, briefly, of drawing her Glock.

"I'm looking for the vampire with a soul," she said, cutting through the comments.

X-Files. Angel. It's like going home.

Always Anti-fascist!

Somebody writes crossovers as weird as mine... Yay!And it's an excellent story, too. Can't wait to read the rest of it AND I gave the author fb right away instead of being afraid she'd mess it up with a bad ending(That happens a lot, ime)

So this is interesting, I've never come across it before.

Someone's selling PDFs of a fic zine. I understand why, once upon a time, you sold zines for money to cover the cost of xeroxing and mailing. But what justifies selling access to an electronic file?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

My understanding from catching the edges of a discussion which I'm pretty sure was about that very zine is that they're justifying it by saying it's compensating them for their time coding etc. (No one was terribly impressed by that argument, but that's what I remember hearing third-hand that it was.)

With Adobe, it's a straight conversion of text to PDF. There must be pictures or something. though I doubt that would impress any lawyers.
