Neil Gaiman says he created his Marquis because he wondered, "what kind of man would own that sort of cat?"

I was the Uncreative Piper, and I'm very interested to find out who the Marquis was.
So, all of you who participated in the RP: who were you? -

…Using the sprite depiction. I don't exactly get along with Amano's art real well.

I wasn't here for the RP, but which are you talking about? One of the invasions? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question, I just got curious.

Does 'nuclear fuzz-grunge' actually exist in that canon? Sounds awful. The music that is, not the canon.

The most popular venue for performances is the LA River, where concrete walls and overpasses give all kinds of nasty, clashing reflections and reverbs.

I was Felix. This is mainly because he's my strongest headvoice, having emerged nearly three years ago at Milliways Bar on livejournal.
Also, the part with hitting the drink on the mask was totally unplanned. I just figured that if it's a costume party he'd show up in his mask, and then when I had him take a drink I remembered the mask has no mouth hole. Thus... -
That was pretty awesome. by

Also absurdly fun. Imagine, if you will, Hiro Nakamura ogling Wonder Woman. Imagine characters from over a dozen canons, from Ghostbusters to Penny Arcade to X-Men, teaming up to prevent a demonic breakthrough in the Buffyverse. Imagine retcons that allow Harry Potter, Buffy, Firefly, and House of Arch take place in the same timeline (if not all simultaneously). Imagine dead!Anakin Skywalker tutoring transplanted!Tom Riddle in turning good.
And that's without even getting into the occasional character intrusions into the "back room", where the muns hang out.
It will, however, eat your time nearly as much as an average wiki if you get involved. You have been warned. -

Certainly, since you've been warned, it's your own fault if you indulge, but if you go around pinning blame that's your deal.
But, thinking about it today, Milliways was the immediate cause of my introduction to three canons: Girl Genius, Discworld, and Good Omens. So I consider it well worthwhile, and once I get my own computer (currently I mooch my brother's) and a schedule that gives me substantial chunks of free time I'm going right back in. -
