Wednesday Shout-Outs!

[repositorian]

Good evening, Milliways! With the Halloween holiday so close we've got so many great reads available for your consumption--and they even help with the post-Halloween candy high, which I know we'll all have by Friday. So here are some of the offerings this week has produced:

- The Winter Soldier's story continues. This OOM is fantastically written, and if you haven't read it or Natasha's OOM linked therein, go do it! They will not disappoint.

- Ray got his retirement post, and man is it a good one. I love the way it's explained, too.

- And last but not least, young Midshipman Blakeney returns! He's really the picture of health sans the arm. And the drugs. No, really.


So what have you been enjoying, Milliways? Share the love and shout-out one of your own favorites, and link us to your milliquotes too! C'mon, people, spread the joy.

Asami's OOM, I love seeing deeper into the Avatar/Korra verse.

Raph's reaction to the zombies and the aftermath.

Claudia's conversation with dead people as well as Joshua's and Red's. I always love what Jill and Quinn are up to.

Now share more, the Bar has been busy with after zombie stuff and the beginnings of Halloween.

I'm enjoying Blakeney's entrances. I do want Lord William to meet Sir Percy. Because everything goes better with the Pimpernel.

[souffle_girlek]

Seconding. This. Doo iiiiit.

Can I just say I love all the threads that have happened with today's DE? You guys took what usually turns into idle chat and ran it into meta and I LOVE it! Special mention to Tom and Cass (I think I got the names right) and fightingthecage and Hannibal.

I also loved Charles Xavier's OOM, and X checking up on Noriko post-zombie invasion.

And let's not forget Enzo bringing Red to Mainframe.

I cackled so horribly when Write went "Okay, I'm talking to Hannibal Lecter" and then started asking candid interview questions...

I really liked Bones telling Autor off in no uncertain terms!

The Supercomputer, not Mainframe! You're never gonna get those straight, are you?

[bjornwilde]

Most likely no... ;p

Sorry about that.

[a1enzo]

*chuckle* Honestly, it's like confusing the United States with... I dunno, Luxembourg. Or Monaco. There is a trifling difference of scale, for starters.

[bjornwilde]

I get that and I do wince when I make the mistake. I shall try and do better.

[a1enzo]

Aw, but then what will I tease you about? ;-)

[justdyedit]

See, now I may start doing it on purpose. =D

(And just to check my short hand, if it's Guardian, it's safe to assume Supercomputer. If it civilian, Mainframe? I did remember not to say The Mainframe. =D)

[a1enzo]

(No, not really. Bob is a Guardian, and Matrix is technically a Guardian, and they are both in Mainframe. Guardians protect the entire Net. The Supercomputer is merely their HQ and the location of the Academy. In addition, the Supercomputer has plenty of civilians. Most of the population, in fact, as civilians tend to be.

Mainframe is the small town where Enzo is from. The Supercomputer is the enormous system where he now lives. Think Smallville and Metropolis.)

[bjornwilde]

Gotcha.

[herr_bookman]

For the record, I wouldn't have gotten it right off-hand, either. *ducks!*

[a1enzo]

*throws candy corn*

Absolutely seconding the Blakeney threads. Damn.

Gene as the harbinger of Urquhart's death is fantastic. Write, you are a tagging machine, and every one of them is quality.

And in the "oh my heart" department, we have Enzo's poignant Conversations With Deleted Sprites, Kanaya's pile of feels, and Asami's fantastic peek into her childhood.

And I have a quote from Autor and Urquhart's first thread, presented without commentary:

"Didn't they tell you that the dead of Milliways are just like everybody else, and not what they call zombies," Urquhart says.

[never_shall_yield]

*grin* Thank you! Gene didn't enjoy those convos, but I did. :)
