I Had A Bobby, His Name Was Brother....

Whatever slump or burn out I was emeshed in, I think it's safe to say it's over. I've written four things in 24 hours - one which will not be posted, for a variety of reasons - and my brain is still crackling and popping like an electrified fence.

I think I was having withdrawals. Though it was weird, what fandoms my mind turned to first. Instead of my most recent fandoms (Silent Hill and Venture Bros) or my staple return-to fandom (HBC), I went for Xenogears and

damned. Half of it has to be the simple fact that I accessed my old music. Which meant all my David Bowie and my Duran Duran. The rest...well, I think there are things I've just been missing badly lately.

I'm dragging horribly on The Dark Tower. Mainly this is because of the simple fact that if I don't finish the last book, it's never really over. And it's been a long time since I wanted something to not end like this. Plus there's the epic foreshadowing, and my insane fear of character death. And I know not everyone's going to make it, but there are two characters I really want to see make it to the end. Sadly, I have a bad history with Stephen King killing off my favorite characters. To drag things out, I'm reading Desperation at the same time.

After a very, very long day for the Silent Hill household yesterday,

nijawial and I are kicking back today with our Stephen King DVDs and a very large pizza order from Domino's. Nija has to work again tonight, and I figure I'll take this evening to work on more writing. We watched disc two of Nightmares and Dreamscapes. The End of the Whole Mess was amazing. I don't see why I wasn't reading stunning review after stunning review for this one. For anyone who's read the original story, this is a rare treat. Nothing was changed. Nothing was taken out or added in. The only thing different was that in the adaptation, Howie is a documentary filmmaker instead of a journalist. I'd just been reading the story a few days ago (Nightmares and Dreamscapes was my bathroom book until I replaced it with Desperation) and the dialogue was word-for-word perfect. The Road Virus Heads North was pretty well done, too. No, not dead-on accurate but an entertaining piece and a fair adaptation.

Then we hit The Fifth Quarter. I was watching the opening (heavily camera filtered angsting of a wife and child) and trying to figure out which story it was. I had thought I knew, but as I watched, I was doubtful and wondering if maybe I really had come across a short story I hadn't read.

But no, the plot had just been butchered so badly that it was unrecognizable. Once they got to the part about the map it all clicked, and I was a bit appalled. We actually shut it off. Now Accepted is on Comedy Central, and I consider that a vast improvement.

Do you RP at all using fan made Mario Universe characters like koopas and yoshis? (I'm looking for a koopa) Or do you know anybody that would be interested?

..............Are you serious?

You don't have to be rude. I was just asking because I can't PM for some strange reason.

Mario? Really? Mario?

Do you have a problem with that?

Not at all! I've RPed...uh, well, not stranger, but...yes. Anyway. Where exactly did you get the impression that Fey would RP Mario? It isn't listed in her interests. Or...anywhere on her journal that I can see.

Because it said she was in the RPing directory group. I have no way of knowing which ones do Mario (and apparently, nobody does)

I'm assuming you don't either?

Is there an RP directory community that you could possibly post to and ask? People RP some kinky shit. I'm sure someone would be willing to play out your Marioworld fantasies.

No. No I don't.

Uh. Good luck?

...Wait, what? I'm listed in an RP directory? Could you link me, please? Because I never submitted myself for any sort of directory.

Check your interests. That is how I found you.

Oh, you mean you did an interest search for RP?

Yes, and SO FAR, nobody does Mario verse stuff (ie, Mario and Luigi enemies, koopas, goombas, yoshis, lakitus)

Maybe you should do an interest search for Mario, and look for people who have both Mario and RP listed? Or join one of the various 'looking to RP' communities and ask there. LJ and IJ both have them.

Also, just a word of advice, you'll most likely have better luck if you email people rather than just randomly commenting on an LJ post. I don't know if you've been around LJ for very long, but most people consider it a little bit rude to comment on an entry just to say or ask something completely irrelevant to the post in question.

Are you a furry?

No. I just RP using different species. I have NO attraction whatsoever to other species or animals.

That would, technically, classify you as a furry. A furry RPs as, writes, or draws anthropomorphized animals/creatures, or animals/creatures with human intelligence. A zoophile is someone who is sexually attracted to animals.

Well, yes, that is what I do, and it is not gross.

I wasn't saying it was.

Yeah, Mario.

You know, "It's-a me, Surprise..."

Well, I'm sure you know how the rest of it goes... :D

Wow, that's sparkly.

Did Twilight rub off on you??

This whole thread is made of win, I'll have you know. :D

Uh...can't say that I do. Or know anyone who does. I don't really do IM or email RP, anyway - I just stick to my LJ game. Sorry dude.

re Dark Tower. I have a friend who is still reading the series, 5 years after he read the first one. I'm done the series and expect to be able to talk to him about it in 20 ;)
He very much doesn't want the story to end either. But yes, the series was spectacular and I really enjoyed reading it! (I got into it just before book #5 Wolves of Calla, so we had to wait for each release.)

I'm...gah. I'm dragging, it's awful. I want to find out what happens, but...I don't want to be done with it. I don't want the adventure to be over. Right now I'm...around the middle of the last book. The attack on Blue Heaven has just begun. And now I'm scared to read on. :(

The shit going down in the comments on this post made me laugh after a horrible day, so than you for that random cracktasticness.

I have nothing to add except: how do you like my stalking? Am I doing it right?

Heee, I am vastly amused! I'm back online a few days, and already the crack has begun! Mwahahahahahaha!

Oh and dude...I'm reading what you emailed me...holy hell, this is good!

Oh crap, I totally forgot that I actually re-made that HBC fic community after we had our last little comment fling. I could have just saved myself an assload of formatting and saved you a whole lot of explanation and posted it there. I...am such a dip, it's kind of unbelieveable.

I am glad you like it. Yours is still the best HBC fic ever in the world of HBC fic, though. Your Valyn and Mero kind of turned into canon for me.

...WE NEED TO GET THIS COMM ACTIVE! AND WE NEED TO DO IT NOW!

Dude, it was amazing. I've read it three times already. You have to write more HBC. I will ply you with fic and plot bunnies, whatever it takes! Aw, thank you! *hugs* WE MUST ENCOURAGE THE FANDOM TO GROW!

Behold:

hbc_fic. The altar of the cult.

Now go post your shit and spread the word!

I am amenable to this plot bunny idea. I am sort of sketchily online, but if you catch me on AIM (screen name is still mnschoen), wave a hallo!

I HAVE JOINED! AND WILL WRITE SOMETHING ASAP FOR IT! :D

Whoot! Once I get AIM on this computer, I shall hit you up! The internet needs more HBC stuffs!

We shall be the messiahs. Or...whatever the plural of messiah is. :P

I'm excited to chat once more!

Google informs me that the plural of messiah is indeed messiahs! Huzzah!

YES!

I should answer that email that I put off when you started having computer troubles.

I am glad to see you around again. I was afraid you'd be missing for much longer.

Emails are love!

I'm glad, too. No one was expecting this computer to work, but with enough elbow grease, patience and Macguyvering, all is well. Or well enough for me to use it, anyway. And hey, just in time, now that I appear to be full of the creative juices!

Watch your inbox!

Read and replied! Yay for cognitive capability! :D
