Now, I'e got a stupid question. Is it possible to voluntary apply to an OFU? I mean, even good/decent authors could want to improve. And why the Suethors should be the only ones visiting these worlds, eh?

Please have a black-hole chocolate cake. All of it, as an apologise for being late.

I'm looking forward to watching more of this if/when it exists, and I think the trailer was well done. I don't really have any more substantive comments. Now shut up and take my money!

I'll, ah, I'll definitely keep all that in mind.

1/ It's no skin off my nose if you write a script. ^_~ Miss Cam might have something to say (literally 'might', I don't know her reaction yet).

2/ If you're looking towards possible animation, shall we discuss over email? I've got a few thoughts on how it could be done to make that feasible. (Also, I'd probably have you look over the trailer 2 script to see what you think.)

Would you mind if I tried my hand at screenwriting and started on a feature length script?

Not asking if you'd animate it because dear Moffat that would be a lot of work. Just wondering if you'd mind me writing a script.

I don't like work. >:(

More seriously: ... more seriously, I actually have very little idea what a podcast even is, so I can't comment on that possibility. An explanation (with no 'you should try this one!', plz, because free time isn't a thing) might help?

hS

I have a script for Trailer Two all worked out! It all depends, really, particularly on Miss Cam's reaction (if any).

hS

... please let me know in good time so I can duck and then watch with an awestruck expression.

Also: Miss Cam has a Tumblr?

hS

I will keep you updated on her reaction.

Twilight did it, and Doctor Who's done it at least once ('Vampires of Venice'). Maybe it's because some vampire fiction leans towards 'supernaturally pretty = long haired men', which harks back to Renaissance paintings?

Or maybe it's because Italy is inhabited by vampires. Do you often feel an urge to go out at night and drink red liquids? :D

PS: Apparently they were part of the local legends up around Venice, which I guess is pretty close to the Slavic regions they're normally associated with. This is a wild guess, but your average early-20th-Century English or American vampirologist wouldn't have heard of Romania or Bulgaria, but Italy was a known quantity (and Venice is famous in its own right). So maybe that's why.

PPS: Or even more simply... the early vampire novels like Carmilla and Dracula feature creatures whose names end in vowels, which isn't all that common in English. Apart from simple, old-fashioned names like Anna or Joe, the first associations that spring up are things like Leonardo, Michelangelo, and all those other Italians/ninja turtles. Take that, add a hundred years, and you end up with Italian vampires coming out of the walls.

Oh, well. Happy birthday! Yet again, you have defied the Fates and cheated Thanatos. Your reward is cake. Delicious cake.

I look forward to getting to know you better as I spend more time on the Board!

It was a book talking about various things paranormal. Said entry discussed time travel.

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AEGIS

... Why Italy as the vampire state, of all countries?

I like how this turned out. I mean, I really liked it. To the point where I have a suggestion:

OFUM Podcast.

The thing is here!

Please will there be more of the thing? :3

Specifically I made a trailer for something that might well never be a full project. But that's what trailers are for, right?

... right?

The trailer in question

With thanks to everyone involved. Credits are in the description.

Hey Bram,

I beta read for you once, right before you got Permission. Now, I've become pretty enthusiastic about beta reading, so since then I've done a lot of research on how good editors work, and I realized I did a pretty shoddy, unhelpful job on yours. Instead of helping it become a better version of itself, I tried to make it into something it wasn't. I'm sorry for that -- I do think your ability to work with a beta leaves something to be desired, but let's not forget that Jay couldn't "deal with criticism (even good criticism)".

Basically, I'd like to have another shot at working with you; email me if you're interested. If you aren't, I understand.

Zeb jumps on the first sign of shipping for any reason, so he'll be teasing no matter who's around. :)

I disagree about the non sequitur comment; her first line was directed at everyone, Zeb was just the one she was pushing. Sixth years also shouldn't be hyphenated. I did fix the rest, though.

...Earth orbits around the Sun, yes, but on a grander scale, the Sun orbits the galactic core and our galaxy is part of a local cluster of galaxies which are interacting via gravity. Earth never sweeps the same sectors of space because our entire solar system is also moving.

But that's besides the point. Happy 2π around the Sun day!

Since you've made it all real vague, I've decided to collect all the facts and study all the data and I have come to the conclusion that, not only is it not your birthday, you, in fact, never were born, having instead sprouted from a tree like a lemon.

My gift upon you is: a pack of fish and chips to be squeezed onto! Because you're a lemon!

Happy regular February the 12th!

Have a box. It is rumored to contain a gift, which people say is a sugar bowl. Believe what you will, but keep it secret, keep it safe.

--Key isn't even sure what she's referencing at this point
