So, naturally, I will. *hops in the van*

Welcome back!

You are wearing underwear, right?

...has demonstrated a pronounced upswing in recent years. So yes, you've earned an upgrade from hot to smokin' hot.

As should be well-known by now, where one of the halves of Andy and Saphie go, the other is apt to follow, so, here I am! Hi guys!

I'll just go ahead and bring up the S-word right away, since a few people have expressed an interest in what has happened/is going to happen to Suedom. Saphie's mentioned my webcomic as an outcome of some of the ideas we were throwing around, which is true to a lot of degrees, so check it out if you're interested, but don' get your hopes up. Like Suedom, the comic has also been on hiatus for a year, since I realized that in order to obtain certain life goals, I was going to have to sell my soul to academia for a good long while.

So I did. And for the most part, I have. And now I'm six months away from graduating Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in anthropology and a minor in writing at a reputable (and somewhat vindictive) institute of higher learning. The moral of this story? Stay in school, kids. Kicking academic ass is good for your self-esteem (even if it's not so good for your health).

So what this means for you guys is that by late May, I intend to be tackling my Post-Graduation goal of giving Suedom a facelift. Much like looking at my webcomic's old art, much of my old writing makes me feel like my eyes are bleeding. (The punctuation use! The pacing problems! The undeniable bouts of OOC! It burns us, preciouss, it burnssss. Ss.) Thus, much like a phoenix rising from the smoke of a candle burnt at both ends of a horse led to water, Suedom will begin anew - stronger, faster, more powerful than ever before, and about 50% shorter. Also with fewer dangling participals and better use of commas.

So, in the meantime, while my BFF Saphie has dived (dove? diven?) headlong into the world of spandex-clad crusaders, I've gotten srs bznsly into Avatar: the Last Airbender, and am happily sitting back, chilling with a cup of tea on the good ship Iroh/Everyone, waiting for the rest of the shipwars to die down so that the fandom can be less about who's pissed off/thrilled that they didn't get/others didn't get their ship and jump into the analytical canon-developing fun stuff. I wonder if, during the periods between the Two Towers and Return of the King being published, there was a substantial amount of vitriol between the Aragorn/Arwen and the Aragorn/Eowyn shippers? Does vitriol travel as well without the internets to carry it along? Whatever, I say! Bring on the cultural analyses of life in the Earth Kingdom. I'm so ready to get settled and happy in my nice, explorable fandom, much like the well-established LotR fans who used to pat me on the head when I was a wee little n00b who thought Frolijah was the dreeeeeamist thing evarrr.

In conclusion, I'd just like to address some rumors floating around regarding my hotness, which has been described by some certain BFFs of mine as "smoking." It's time to confront these rumors, and to confirm once and for all that they are all true.

The good ship Andy/Saphie returns to mess with your heads!

Well okay, my clothes were less fabulous.

In that case, "vorcel hawk" is on the menu, and my character's going to have a nice green lightsaber to play with. What a pity: the writing wasn't half bad...

You mentioned the biggest problem yourself: "The Starhawks upstage the [J]edi." Upstaging the canon characters is the trait all Sues have in common. Everything else just serves to make it worse. The fact that the Sue's group would work well in their own fic just means that the writer would have done better to write an original story.

As for whether or not it's PPC-able, that depends on whether or not you think it would make an entertaining mission for someone.

And it's AWESOME. (Thought frozen right now due to the holiday)

Fire shiny. Shiny good. Therefore, fire good.

What's a ypur?

A towel...are you planning to throw me into a large body of water?

Beatles! YAY!
They do have hooves. It all depends on if said Suenicorns are the traditional goaty type or the horsey type.
*sings* Down at the English fair, one evening I was there, when I heard a showman shouting underneath a flare! Thanks for the pie!

I'm quite interested in reading all of these fics. Aren't there other PPC fics, though? And if so, where can I find them? Is there an archive for this type of fic?

*sings* I don't know why you say good-bye I say hello...

Well, I'm hoping you don't say good-bye anytime soon! Glad to see another newbie around here with a thing for long names. I'd go for the jerky, but I'm pretty sure that Suenicorns aren't kosher, so I'll just take the coconuts instead. I always wondered what coconut milk tasted like.

I don't have anything awesome to offer like these veteran boarders, so I'll offer you some of the vegan pumpkin pie I've had for Thanksgiving. It's very yummy, though it has a weird aftertaste.
