It's approaching 11:59 PM on the 25th, so allow me a last-minute "Merry Christmas" for good measure.

She had packed her bags and was on her way to hire a horse for the journey, when she heard a shout, and turned to find her friend and pen pal Suka launching herself across the street. Before Cat knew it, she was lying on her back, staring into Suka's grinning face.

Suka, she learned over a cup of Fizzy Stuff at the Sign of the Open Arms, was still living in the Tos province of St'Artrec, where the two of them had lived as students of Arpy. She had joined the navy as a boot-polishing lackey aboard their flagship, the USS Spirk, although she hoped to be able to advance in rank -- her Arpy skills had advanced far beyond the level Cat had been able to obtain. When the captain announced that they would be taking a day of shore leave on Konti-Nyuum, she had set off to find Cat.

All thoughts of stalking brave knights vanished from Catherine's mind. Suka taught her the traditional Tos songs she had learned on the ship and they sang and told stories long into the night.

((OOC: So my friend is back from Germany, and I got to go over to her house to marathon watch Star Trek and do dramatic readings of slashfic a day earlier than I had thought (she's right here, watching me write this!). So it's unlikely I'll be able to properly join the RP. . . although I might show up later, who knows. Also, I would be happy to prepare a report on the politics and history of St'Artrec; I have Ideas.

I got Audrey Frasier's memoir, a sweater, a fuzzy purple vest (the kind that look like jackets without the sleeves), new headphones, a red snowflake blanket, and 200 bucks. Good day :)

...I decided on a whim today to see if I could record a holiday filk myself.

Turns out, I'm surprisingly good at imitating Pit's singing voice.

(I'd have made another recording with my own voice, but I'm a lazy bustard lol. Just imagine it's Cupid singing this. And don't mind my sniffling, please, I forgot to take my allergy meds this morning. X'D)

MERR CHRISMAS!

Mayhaps a bit late given that Christmas is already upon us, but I don't stop singing Christmas songs 'til March, so what the heck. Post your favorite Christmas songs! Covers, parodies, original songs, particularly Holiday-ish soundtracks, happy, sad, heartfelt, cheeky, whatever you like. If nothing else, it's good filk material for next year.

Here's my contribution:

Steampunk Holiday
Walkers in a Winter Wonderland
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Dustbowl

Oh, and sorry about the thread hijack, Voyd. Wasn't sure if this should be its own thread or not, so I just put it here.

Happy Chrasmas!

On the plus side, I was right! :D It *is* a marketable idea!

Wasn't that a thing where she made it clear that she was posting anonymously to get our unbiased opinions on a piece she had written based on a challenge? It was a somewhat different thing, wherein the anonymity was explained. I don't actually completely get why you wanted this to be anonymous.

~DF, who's coming from a 3-hour party that isn't actually over yet, so I'm sorry if I sound a bit sharp. I'm getting tired.

Lady Iximaz smiled when a voice squeaked from her cloak, "Don't be modest! You've killed thousands of Marizu with that thing!"

"Hush, Charlotte," Iximaz said, putting a hand over her shoulder.

Her cloak wriggled and a tiny vampire bat poked her head out. "You're not telling me to hushup when there's a party, are you?"

"Yes."

I had hoped this would turn out like the last anonymous writing prompt. People would have fun with it, then after a while the prompter (myself in this case, Nesh last time) would reveal themselves, and normally I would wait more than two and a half days, but the board is moving quickly and it won't be long before this gets buried.

Saturday is somewhat irregular swapping between Pathfinder and D&D 5e, and Sunday I run Force and Destiny.

I wish you good luck, though!

...a Bayverse Grimlock nightlight, and a job offer for a software position at a museum exhibit design company.

Guess which one was the better choice by far. XD

My grown-up wardrobe continues to expand! Also I have more Farscape music! ^_^

Phobos got some much-needed socks (not only does he wear holes in them, the cat steals them right out of the drawer and chews on them, too) and a whole boatload of geeky shirts. We are swimming in shirts over here, guys.

Now all I want is to hopefully finish this frelling FMA x HP mission!

~Neshomeh

I now have soft pajamas!

Alphablocks

hS, fanficcer at heart

Weekends is the hope.

And as EPL said, we need a Storyteller. That's what White Wolf (the publisher of Exalted) calls Game Masters.

I think it's all excellent :D

The stories are sweet to touching to funny; I could really, seriously see shades of Maglor in...I think it was the one Kaitlyn wrote; and they were overall just very enjoyable to read. As for Tengwablocks, I'm impressed you put so much Quenya together (how long did it take you?) and I think the story is adorable. I'd totally read more. (I also think that if you made one for a widely spoken language it might sell, assuming a different language version could keep the charm of the Quenya one...just a thought.)

Anyway. This was all great fun to read. Thanks for sharing it with us!

"...gets everywhere..."

:P

Disclaimer: I've never to my memory seen more than a gif of that scene. Maybe a clip, but I doubt it. It amuses me anyway :D

~DF

So good to see you!

That's just how it goes--today may be the first day, but in the Jewish calendar days start at sundown, not at midnight. So last night was the first night, today is the first day, tonight is the second night, etc.

Interestingly, the weather report for NY kept mentioning Hannukah as well as Christmas? In the same breath? I'm not used to this??

Y'all also have practically everything I've been wanting to watch in Canada on your Netflix. It's both awesome and infuriating, especially since it took me a moment to realize that Netflix hadn't suddenly made stuff I want to see available--I just switched countries. Almost makes me wish I was here for longer than a week, or else hanging out with people who'd want to binge watch some shows...oh well.

(Er, you personally may not be American. This last bit was technically aimed at the whole Board, anyway, but...yeah. Anyway.)

And, while I'm sort of addressing the whole Board, happy holidays to all!

~DF

I'd actually forgotten about that song, too. Haven't heard it in a while.

~DF

As you can see, we are glad to have you back. ;)

...since I was told the latter also begins today?

Though a realtime messenger doing it in the forum game style could be interesting...
