hot child in the city, cat-eating bird.

[sab]

Two things:

1. I'm in the thrall of Mystery of Time and Space, which is a GUI interactive game. Currently I'm stuck in the room with the fireplace and the triangular object and the cabinet that I can't see into for some reason. Also the big scary hand. But I'm going out to do errands and when I come back I'll assume you all will have lapped me, at which point I can ask for hints. (ratcreature, mace_m, I am counting on both of you. Also jood).

2. Apparently I'm the only one utterly non-nonplussed by my Farscape Ficathon assignment. I'm quite happy with what I got, and I almost have ideas, which is a whole other matter, and requires watching tapes of episodes I don't think I have and will therefore have to harangue someone into providing for me.

In this, I've realized I'm far, far less fannish about Farscape than I am/have been about shows I've been...fannish about. Watched an episode yesterday (title withheld for the sake of possible prowling Ficathon people) and was completely underwhelmed. Which isn't to say it's not a smart show. It is. It's just not my show. Which is, go figure. But give me Delenn or Londo or Lennier any day.

That being said, stay tuned. andrastewhite and I are gearing up to provide the Next Great Ficathon, one which even you won't wanna miss.

The preceding was a paid advertisement.

3. I now know, with unfair intimacy, precisely what the cat who ate the canary looks like. I can also tell you that despite what you've heard, the cat-bird seat is not nearly as appealing as it sounds, and I'd recommend something in the loge.

I have to admit that I only got through MOTAS by googling for walk-throughs, because I just didn't have the patience for doing it on my own. I suck at computer games. The last one I actually had the inclination and patience to do on completely my own was Myst way back when, and I guess that had a lot to do with the fact that to play it I had to visit my older brother (I didn't own a PC then) and got to hang out with him.

I OWN that weird hand and big machine room. I unlocked the thingy, too, come back from your trip. For once I'm smarter than you. *g*

I'm back, and I TROUNCED that game, that game's ass is MINE. I've moved on to a whole new game with skulls, that I don't understand at all.

[kernezelda]

I am stuck on Level Whatever after the spacesuit. Gah!

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Never tried the game; I'm spending too much time on the net as it is.

(Speaking of which, shall we continue the dinner with Timov?)

And I know what you mean about Farscape. I really, really like it, and admire it, and am occasionally frustrated by it, but I never had the urge to write fanfic, and I never obsessed about the characters and storylines the way I did for B5.

What ficathon would that be?

[andraste]

The one we're going to kidnap you and make you write for, of course. You already have an idea - you just don't know it yet ...

(Sab, are we going to keep being all mysterious, or do we spill the beans and start recruiting?)

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

At the moment we're being mysterious. Till I make a graphic and set up the LJ. Want to go public this week? Tell me a good day/night to find you on AIM so we can proceed to RULE the WORLD.

[andraste]

Tell me a good day/night to find you on AIM so we can proceed to RULE the WORLD.

Tomorrow is good for me - I'll just jump on whenever and I'm sure we'll find each other. Then our plans will be put into place. *evil laughter*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

You two frighten me. What will you make me do?

[kernezelda]

Ooh, maybe they'll ask you to write Rygel and Scorpius, bonding over being ousted from their respective organizations.

This is meant to be Farscape-oriented, if I'm reading these mysterious posts correctly.

Haven't seen Kill Bill, either one. Want to! Cannot read your post, darn it.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Ooh, maybe they'll ask you to write Rygel and Scorpius, bonding over being ousted from their respective organizations.

You know, I think I could actually manage to do that. I loved their scenes in I-Yensch, You-Yensch.

[andraste]

You two frighten me. What will you make me do?

Don't worry, my dear. You'll enjoy it ...

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Now that I know what it is, I tend to agree, except I don't know yet what you two will inflict on me. I mean, for all I know it could be Vedek Bareil/Brother Theo!

In completely unrelated news and addressed to Sabine: did you read Na'Toth's most recent entry? Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear...

[andraste]

Now that I know what it is, I tend to agree, except I don't know yet what you two will inflict on me. I mean, for all I know it could be Vedek Bareil/Brother Theo!

You know we would never do such a thing. We'd make it Vedek Bareil/Brother Theo/Book, ro really stump you ... oh, wait, you didn't offer to write Firefly. Damn *g*.

Looking at the sign ups we have to date, I think I can safely say that we'll find you something you can manage on the list - fourteen writers already, and a bunch more who are thinking about what they want to request.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Good to know, but...

We'd make it Vedek Bareil/Brother Theo/Book, ro really stump you ... oh, wait, you didn't offer to write Firefly.

For the mere suggestions alone, you shall suffer.

[andraste]

For the mere suggestions alone, you shall suffer.

Waaah! You are an evil and cruel woman. Torture me, if you must, but spare Londo, I beg you.

I wish I could say that I hadn't thought of Cartagia considering that, but I'd be lying. He was certainly sick enough to try it. The idea of Londo drawing his knowledge of Narn anatomy from such a source is shudder-inducing yet strangely appropriate.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

You are an evil and cruel woman.

And you only, like, realized that now?

The idea of Londo drawing his knowledge of Narn anatomy from such a source if shudder-inducing yet strangely appropriate.

That was what I had in mind, once I had hit upon the idea. I don't know what it says about my own psyche that when I started to wonder how Londo, who as opposed to G'Kar has had no sexual experience with Narn (of either gender), would know, this explanation came up...

[andraste]

And you only, like, realized that now?

Well, it bears repetition.

I don't know what it says about my own psyche that when I started to wonder how Londo, who as opposed to G'Kar has had no sexual experience with Narn (of either gender), would know, this explanation came up...

Cartagia is adept at sending the mind in dark and horrible directions, I'll give him that.

If you find you need the episodes, let me know!!

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

I find I *do*, and so I'm gonna e-mail or call you this week, yes?

[thassalia.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes!! Just let me know what you need baby:) And I love the icon:)
