If those plans we were discussing go through, I will be dragged to this, won't I? Fangirling sounds like a good Christmas plan though.

that it's possible to escape into the complex to the cake instead of killing GLaDOS.

Nice in theory, but I don't see where it could be done.

and people are constantly telling me how hilarious he is, so it could just be me.

Cassie and I are vaguely planning a two-man Gathering in Preston sometime over Christmas. I say Gathering; the principal purpose of the day will be fangirling (on my part at least) over Torchwood's Gareth David-Lloyd in a pantomime. Would anyone else be up for that?

Now that's one masterful retelling of the three tales. I love the way you interwove the three separate plot threads and made them work together like that. Wish I could have been there. :( Still! There's the one next month, which I will be attending.

Also, now you've mentioned Star Wars/Roman History crossovers, I get the strange urge to go and actually write some...

Ugolino and I found it some time back and were bored enough to MST it. Here you go, sporkage.

Thanks!

I'm with Trojie. Kill it dead.

I remember the gist of the speech. It went a bit like this:

"Back when you Americans were building railroads, the English had been there, done that, and had moved on to new and different forms of travel. Such as rivers. Where there weren't actual rivers, we made our own. Ergo, canal."

... It was really funny in person.

~Neshomeh

... of your photos. There's just a couple of things I didn't record, which is always a shame.

... I speech'd about the canals? I have no idea what I said, sadly. These impromptu bouts of nonsense things always slip my mind.

It's the combination of the blue and the triangular brackets--that adds up pretty invariably to Andalite, and there's only Ilraen and Iskillion in HQ.

~Neshomeh

I deny those accusations of being a spoilsport and a showoff, though. It isn't my fault I'm cleverer than you.

^_~

Seriously, though, good synopsis. Synopses. Either way. The picture with the portal is really good--the people in the background seem like they're leaning away from it. I also enjoyed the MST of the game shop.

... Nobody got a picture of the mini Mary-Sues, did they? Alas. Keeping straight faces until they were gone was an epic feat.

Also, I think the people here deserve a rendition of your speech about the canals, if you can remember it. *g*

~Neshomeh, whose own photos from the 2009 Gathering are still here, if anyone wants a(nother) look.

There And Back Again: A PPCer's Tale

This is a pretty epic report; it ran to fifteen pages in Word, and I've split it across two webpages to save those of you with slower connections, because there's a lot of pictures in there.

So, if you've ever wondered what happens when PPCers from various nations get together at my insistence, wonder no more, but read on, brave Boarder! Read on!

Etc, etc, etc.

Among other things, summary FAIL. And the grammar...gah. Looks like a perfect example of why just running the spellcheck over things isn't sufficient. Thank you for offering to kill it :P

Just found this on the Pit - more childhood killage, Winnie-the-Pooh this time:

I wonder what Winnie-the-Pooh minis would be... mini-Heffalumps, perhaps?

Most of the regular LJ posters know HTML, or at least the basics of it. If you asked your beta, they might not mind helping you out with it.

I have looked at them for a while (banned at the library), so I can't comment. However, when I did read them, I found them brilliant. Then again, they have been going for ten years. Maybe they're running out of Steam? (Bad pun. Must be shot.)

*twitches*

*begins to sob at having to break GLaDOS's heart*

That's got to be a troll, right?

Kill it with my wholehearted encouragement.

Yesterday I also did some websurfing and found a script for the Newsies (when I first decided to do the mission (many months ago) I had looked for a Newsies Transcript and found nothing useful). That should cover the line stealing. And it means you don't have to jeopardise your childhood memories of the musical. If you feel daring, this is the link: Backbeat Love to the first chapter where Newsies appear. The Sue's name is Morgan; Jeffrey is a canon character from the other canon.

You could help me out with something else, though. In the fic and in the script, the characters say "pape" rather than "paper" and I would like to know how pape is pronounced.
Is it pape that rhymes with tape?
Or is it more like papah, and was the R dropped on paper because they didn't pronounce it?

I was glancing through the Pitt for something to use for my next mission when I found *this*.

Those of you who were horse crazy kids obsessed with the Black Stallion series by Walter Farley like I was may want to avert your eyes.

The Race Of His Life » by TashWrit3r
I was really bored so I thought that I should write a story about The Black Stallion. Why not The Black Stallion novels are the best. In my Opinion. This Story starts Out in USA and Ends Up In Brittan.

...just, yeah. The actual story is at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4894759/1/TheRaceOfHisLife , and there are three chapters. I'm killing it. It *needs* to die.

the blue bit was just to send home a "not human" message pretty clearly, since Nadine wasn't really up to detailed observations, though I was thinking, possibly an andalite (can't remember if that's capitalized, it's been ages since I read anything from that series). And the linking's fine.

I don't trust myself to figure out html correctly.

I mean honestly, asking for comments but specifically telling people not to say anything bad?

I posted a comment which was basically "you know, there's this thing called spellcheck that you might want to use." We'll see whether they're a troll from how they respond to that, I guess.

What... what the... what?

That's... Um... what? What the... EH?

I have no words. That's just...

If I had more knowledge of the canon, I would snatch that up immediately.

*sigh*
