Wednesday Night Shout Outs

[ladyoflorien]

Good evening, Milliways! Is anyone else wondering how it's December already? HOW? Sheesh, just 27 more days until 2014. At least one thing remains consistent: you all remain awesome. I haven't been able to read as much as I usually do, so I'm depending on all of you to pick up my slack and shout out your favorite reads of the week! And extra thanks go to Write for covering the Shout Outs for me last week. ♥

• Ellen's latest OoM had me running through the entire gamut of feelings. Brilliant work, I am squeaking with anticipation for the next installment.
  
• The Turkey Day festivities included Michelangelo and the Aeslin Mice, Grace Hanadarko and Howard Stark, and other gems. I just love you people.
  
• The latest OoM from Kanaya (and Rose) is unspeakably adorable.

Now, what have YOU been loving, Milliways? What have you finished lately? Link us to your finished slowtimes, second, third, or fourth threads others have linked, and if someone pimps your stuff remember to pay it forward! Share the love, you wonderful people.

Karkat's thread with Frederick Lyon amused me, particularly this bit:

Freddie takes one last drag and stubs out his cigarette. "Canterbury's a city in Kent. The Archbishop's head of the Church of England. If they've got 'trolls' in Canterbury, I've never heard about it."

"I KNOW ABOUT BISHOPS," [Karkat] says dismissively. "THEY ONLY MOVE DIAGONALLY."

Oh my God, that thread is gold :D!

Bucky, Marvel is the meanest.

Jason Todd and Adrian Shephard, I look forward to more of their friendship. Jason has been a great addition to Bar.

Oh! Thank you!

It occurred to me, reading Ellen's thread with Ichabod, that someone should sit Mr. Crane down and introduce him to "1776." I'm a bad person, I know....

... Well, Joshua does know the musical. (and headcanon, was in it)

[1stwitness]

He'd think it was hilarious.

Also, the thing about Adams and dirty limericks is canon. He also says that Jefferson was obsessed with puns.

[damncompass]

*puts on 18th century historian hat for a moment* I believe those things are both historical. Adams' letters can be somewhat dirty (Franklin was worse, btw) and Jefferson loved his wordplay.

... *shiftyface* I... happen to be a bit obsessed with colonial American history.

""A Letter To A Royal Academy" was composed in response to a call for scientific papers from the Royal Academy of Brussels. Franklin believed that the various academic societies in Europe were increasingly pretentious and concerned with the impractical... [He] responded with an essay suggesting that research and practical reasoning be undertaken into methods of improving the odor of human flatulence."

The collection of essays under that name may have been the best Christmas present I ever got my dad. He had no clue whatsoever what old Ben was really like.

I have these friends who send me pics of Ben Franklin that they find when they go to museums or things like that, and they usually caption them with "Here's your baby daddy."

Don't forget about Santo and Lohengrin chatting about a Martian invasion!

[bjornwilde]

Seconding this!

[herr_bookman]

Also, how did I forget Kanaya's awesome EP?

[bjornwilde]

I just need to say I loved everyone's contribution to yesterday's DE. I was laughing in my cube with nearly every notification that hit my inbox. = }

That one will definitely be coming back from time to time.

[herr_bookman]

Ah, I knew I forgot to shout out something! That was hilarious.

[bjornwilde]

I just loved the different shapes each story or snippet took.
