I'm already getting bored.
Can you maybe find some aldermen who need to be indicted?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I could work on that.
Oh! and, because our district filters a TON of web sites, I can't access YouTube or TED Talks to do homework. (I'm taking a class on Cognition and Technology that uses a bunch of those videos.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's very hard to get the brain going today.
Indeed. And most of the other things I could do require stuff from other people. Stuff that I could do on partial brain-power, I mean.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Awesome artwork o' the day:
Why is Wil Wheaton charging down on orc John Scalzi while riding a unicorn-dragon-kitten?
Because it's fucking awesome!, that's why.
Not only that, but it's a contest! Where you win by making stuff up!
There are some questions that simply don't have answers...yet. Wheaton and Scalzi are holding a fan-fiction contest to benefit the Lupus Alliance of America. Explain the picture, win the contest, get paid, and help people.
...
You write a 400 to 2,000 word fanfic about the picture above. Come at it from any angle you like to explain, illuminate or otherwise bring to life what's going on in the picture above. Our only request is NO slash fanfic (please). But other than that, knock yourself out.
When you're finished with the story, in addition to whatever else you do with it (hey, it's your fanfic, we hold no claim to it), send a copy of the story to fanfic@scalzi.com by 11:59pm Eastern, June 30, 2010 (one entry per person), with the text of the story in the e-mail (no attachments, please). When you do, you'll enter your fan fiction into a contest.
