From Saundra:

A few years back, there was a backroom meme where everyone made phone posts in their puppet journals with pieces of their puppets' canon(s) and linked to them in the backroom. It might be fun to do that again, or even read one of your favorite tags your puppet has made that maybe you'd like to share (because a puppet like Moon or Ruin doesn't really have a canon to read from XD, and I know they're not the only ones). I just remember it being insanely fun and incredibly interesting to hear everyone's bits.

I am still at home feeling less than awesome, so talk amongst yourselves!

Sallie doesn't really have a canon, but I am inordinately proud of this post of hers. She has a history, and she's done stuff she's not proud of, but in the end she IS proud of it because she survived. <333 ILU OLD LADY.

[genarti]

Oh, man, I love that post! Loved and love. Sallie is so awesomely human.

*beams so hard*

(Oh! Did you get my email(s)? I know I was around even less than usual this weekend, but I swear I am stomach-acid-free now? I think?)

[watching_you]

That was an awesome meme. I've been wondering if we'd do that one again. Shall attempt once I actually get access to a phone.

[mmexlibris]

So, what, you queue up your selected piece of canon and call into LJ for a voice post, only you play the canon? Is that how it works?

[djcati.livejournal.com]

I think it's primarily aimed at people with book canons, or you can quote something from a TV episode/movie -- I think last time when we did this, Steph and Pho had a Serenity dialogue exchange, IIRC -- or I guess if your canon is a song you could sing it yourself, or whatever.

Or! Read a tag, as is also suggested.

[mercuriazs.livejournal.com]

Ooh, great idea! Also, bonus: I love doing podfic. So, uh, if anybody has some lines of canon/millific/speechifying they'd like someone ELSE to record and post ... first three replies have dibs. :D

[watching_you]

ME! Actually I just love the concept, I can't think of anything in particular to actually offer up. Hmmm.

[agoodshinkickin.livejournal.com]

I too am a fan of podfic, clearly there needs be collaboration!

[moons-storm.livejournal.com]

*grins* I'm so glad you're doing this one! :D I must waste time today participating. XD

I do hope you get to feeling better soon. <3

[bcgphoenix]

Definitely doing this once I'm home and can cheerfully make a fool of myself. :D!

[a1enzo]

I'm afraid I don't quite understand.

[mmexlibris]

Me neither.

[moons-storm.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll go first so everyone knows what we're talking about! :D

I had Roger read this one because I can't do a good Ruin immitation. It's from here, part of the Duet plot (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/21862755.html?thread=960387171#t960387171), and quite possibly one of my favorite tags from Ruin. Warnings for foul language! Ruin nearly kills Jason (http://ruinous-fortune.livejournal.com/7867.html)

This is me reading one of Moon's tags (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/21768591.html?thread=955191439#t95519143) from Duet plot. ^_^ Moon in her tree (http://fortunes-phase.livejournal.com/7703.html)

I'll add Nathaniel, Anita, and Dorian later. I just wanted to give an actual example of what I meant when I made the suggestion for the DE. :D

[moons-storm.livejournal.com]

Aaaand my other three. :D

Anita's is from The Laughing Corpse, when she raises the graveyard. Super Anita! (http://theyallfallin.livejournal.com/2814.html)

I chose to read one of Nathaniel's tags from a recent OOM (http://one-of-her-boys.livejournal.com/3115.html?thread=122667#t122667) because LKH doesn't give anyone but Anita any sort of actual screentime worth repeating. Warning for the f-word. ^_^ Nathaniel pleading with Asher (http://one-of-her-boys.livejournal.com/3656.html)

And, finally, Dorian Gray. His bit is from the scene in canon where he kills Basil Hallward, since that was a defining moment for Dorian in the bar, the single choice that makes him think there is no going back, there will never be redemption. Dorian kills Basil Hallward (http://notagazelle.livejournal.com/3134.html)

[doihearawaltz.livejournal.com]

Ahhaahaha noooooo I should not be so tempted to do this.

[agoodshinkickin.livejournal.com]

Man...I'm just trying to think of a good Mikey quote, and where to find enough sugar to read it correctly.

[djcati.livejournal.com]

THAT'S what my attempt was missing! I recorded something and was like "ohgod I have done it so wrong," but Oreos would totally help me get in character amirite.

[genarti]

And this is why I could never do a Honey quote.

a) I hear his voice in Japanese, which I don't speak, and b) there is not enough sugar IN THE WORLD.

[djcati.livejournal.com]

Solo Command, by Aaron Allston. (http://www.box.net/shared/y8ptzkqgrv)

lol no prizes for guessing which bit if you've read canon.

(UGH my voice makes me sound like I should be on some CBBC after-school drama, I PROMISE I AM NOT A TEN YEAR OLD BOY. :\ Ha, it is probably better suited to reading an excerpt from a CHERUB book, but I couldn't think of anything in particular for that.)

[djcati.livejournal.com]

I decided that if I sound like a ten year old boy, I should read something with a ten year old boy in it:

The Unseen Queen, by Troy Denning. (http://www.box.net/shared/axo35k2mnd) (Okay, Ben is nine in this book, but still.)

And to complement the OOMs I will be writing SOON I SWEAR to move Ben through canon: Exile, by Aaron Allston. (http://www.box.net/shared/6bylbb14i2) (It was really hard to choose just one bit from this. It's my favourite Legacy of the Force book for so many reasons.)

[misslucyjane]

Canon: archy gets a message from Mars, and Ianto is a big girl.

Thread: Jack and Raven discuss missing things.

[thebrokensoldier]

One of my favorite Sarah Connor quotes from the movie, Terminator.

Riddick (Yet another movie quote)

The Bourne Supremacy, by Robert Ludlum

[takiena_called]

*sheepish* http://calledgreenleaf.livejournal.com/2015.html <--Legolas, an excerpt from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Book II, The Ring Goes South.

Um, the volume seems to be pretty loud so have care with playing it.

[mr-smarty-vamp.livejournal.com]

*cheers that she figured out how to do voice-posting just for this occasion!* I chose an excerpt from Laurell K. Hamilton's Incubus Dreams, where we first get a glimpse at Damian's memories... since all the books are told solely from Anita's perspective.

http://mr-smarty-vamp.livejournal.com/2488.html

Gotta say, the transcription is straight from the book... I take no responsibility for the crazy-assed grammar of LKH. *jumps behind couch before she can be attacked by any LKH who love her writing style* ^_-
