My awesome is all fic-shaped this week. (Well, other than the new app I sent in, but there's no return on that just yet, so he'll have his moment once it processes.)

One of them started as a drabble and turned into a yuletide filler: Dr. Horrible's Guide to Resurrecting Your Not-Exactly-Girlfriend. Does what it says on the tin, more or less.
And the other: Dr. Horrible/Night at the Museum crossover hijinks, as partly inspired by the other day's Daily Entertainment.

I totally always forget to do this, but this week I must Make Reports.

Cal was busy this week. First, he gave X impromptu lessons on small talk (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/21390743.html?thread=933047191#t933047191).

Then he had an encounter (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/21390163.html?thread=933058387#t933058387) with Verity, the crossroads demon, which was as much fun to plan out with Georgia as it was to actually play. I am very proud of Cal for not punching Verity in the face. It was a possibility.

And best of all - and I know Fi already pimped this in the Saturday pimping post (thank you, Fi!), but I'm really excited about it - there was plot (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/21410624.html?thread=934118464#t934118464)! See, I recently got hold of a bootleg of Cal's canon, The Fix; I've been playing him based off the soundtrack and liner notes. (Which, incidentally, turns out to have worked pretty well. I don't entirely trust the bootleg, anyway, since it's such an early performance that it has material that got rewritten later in the show's run. But anyway!) I'd had the foresight to plan for this possibility by giving Cal amnesia about the last day of his life, since the soundtrack and liner notes are obnoxiously vague on exactly what happened. And I am so glad I did, because nothing I made up would have been as traumatic awesome as canon.

And Viv is also awesome, for figuring out a way to work Cal's recovering his memories into Bela's latest plot when I told her I wasn't sure how to go about it. And in the interest of further giving credit where it is due, in the actual memory itself, about ninety-five percent of it is dialogue right from the play. The only bits I wrote were the exchange between Cal and Calvin (the play would prefer that Calvin not exist until he is needed for the funeral finale, apparently) and the stuff in parentheses.

In non-RP but equally geeky news, I wrote a paper (http://catslash.livejournal.com/408174.html) comparing The Fix with Hamlet for my Performance Genre class. And then put it on the Internets. Hopefully my professor does not Google it and come to the conclusion that I am a plaigarist. This is how I justified spending the money on the bootleg: "It's okay, it's for SCHOOL."

D'aw, Cal and X are awfully adorable in a very awkward way.

[isaysimplewords]

♥ I love threading with those two.

[varadia]

Seriously!

*glee*

[vivien]

Cat, you are awesome, as well. You have no idea how much fun I have collaborating with you, and I am so happy my plot could become the plot that keeps on giving.

*squishes you*

Good lord, I've been up to a lot lately. Most of these are still in progress, but!

In the land of uberslowtime, Gaeta catches up with both Esfir and Laini, and I cannot begin to say how happy both of those threads make me. :D :D :D More recently, Gaeta's also meeting both Duck and the Old Firm, about to have a rather more serious (but potentially helpful) discussion with Simon Tam, and busily undergoing a restrained but ginormous crisis of faith as he runs into his first Greek god, Demeter. Ahahahaha.

Meanwhile, over in m_m, an eleven-year-old Gaeta is getting along just smashingly (*snort*) with Kaya, running into a soon-to-be familiar face, chatting with Alec...and, for the first time -- but far from the last, sigh -- trusting somebody he really, really, REALLY should not be trusting.

Aaaand in non-RP land, I scrubbed down my ENTIRE APARTMENT, including the bathroom and kitchen. \o/ Which, considering the state of my apartment, was a pretty dang impressive feat. Seriously, there were dust bunnies the size of small children lurking under my bed.

[ceitfianna]

I'm really loving the Gaeta-Dem thread and took a chance with it and I"m so glad you're enjoying it too.

Teja's week in thread:

• On the day before Mardi Gras, Teja gets turned female.
  
• So does Guppy, after laughing about Teja. They bond female-ly, but do not go to the loo together.
  
• Teja and (now also female-shaped) Charlie snuggle on the sofa, talk to Demeter and get Teja more comfortable clothes, and talk to Jason.
  
• Ryu puts Teja in a kimono.
  
• Female!Charlie wears very provocative clothes, and female!Teja is very much attracted...
  
• Teja is male again. Charlie is not.
  
• Demeter bartends; Teja talks about Charlie. What else is new?
  
• Teja reads an Italian magazine on motorcycles; Yrael talks about bikes, Carlotta about her school.
  
• Teja advises a faun about his nightmares.

I MOVED!!!!

Okay, yeah, about a third of my stuff is still in storage, and some more of it is at daniidebrabant's place, but my bed, many of my clothes, my cooking tools, the bathroom basics, many of my books, and both my computers are here! I think that counts as fairly damn awesome.

[scurlock]

That is definitely awesome and worth \o/ over!!!

Mia has a dream. It's not so great, actually. For her, anyway.

Then she meets Urahara. It's considerably better for her than the dream was.

Yesterday, Matrix and AndrAIa officially got married. The ceremony got cut short a bit, however, thanks to the arrival of an unexpected guest...

World, say hello to Mairi Matrix.

I finished the four long, canon OOMs that Sunshine needed to get through before I could bring her in, again. It's about.... oh, sixty pages of information-and-action-intensive, emotionally-and-mentally-draining canon condensed into four medium-to-long posts. And then linked to in a tiny post of its own. Woo!

Also, I'm proud because I got them done despite being ill and having a dead computer. One forgets how much one can get done when one doesn't have the internet to distract and keep one awake at all hours of the night. I did a lot of writing, as one can see, and have gotten a heck of a lot of knitting done, as well.

In other news, thank goodness for campus computer labs that stay open reasonably late.

[wakeupnew]

I ACTUALLY RP'D.

(Also, I applied for a job that I really want.)

I was really happy with Liz's dream-plus-thread-with-Hellboy that was linked here. Also, we did this ages ago but just linked this week: Simon and Hawkeye on a bad day.

[alchemistseraph]

It's still Sunday here, but late. So.

Charlie and Doc discuss what sex should be. (I'm having fun threading this, I hope so is Ali.)

[scurlock]

I am definitely having fun with it.

And the aftermath.

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

What a thing to wake up to! Starting my day with flailing.


^____^ That was marvelously well-done.
