sorcyress: Drawing of me as a pirate, standing in front of the Boston Citgo sign (Default)
I wonder if there is some sort of inverse relationship between the number of posts I make today, and the number of comments I receive on all those posts. I suspect I will quickly become annoying and awful and you will all hate me. I look forward to it!

Anyways, the Yuletide stories have finally revealed authors, and that means I can link you to my two (both of which I assure you are horrible, just so you don't get to thinking that they're well written or anything.)

The first is my actual assignment. The prompt read "Ford and Arthur are stranded on a planet where it gets very cold at night and they have to huddle together for warmth." Now, I've been shipping weird ass-Hitchhikers crack for years. So, I present to you The Cold Sands of Anatidae. Spoiler: Ford and Arthur huddle together for warmth.

The second was my first ever random gift. I was browsing through the requests list, and had this moment of flail that there was someone out there who loved both Middleman and Black Books. It's Christmas Eve, I don't have anything better going on, "what can I write that combines these two".

Apparently I could write The Seven Stolen Books of Westminster Abbey which, uh, might turn into a series of stories, all crossing the Middlefolk with various other fandoms. (New headcanon: Roxy and Anya (from Buffy) totally hang out and are friends.)

I figure my journal might have a slightly higher than usual percentage of people who've seen both Black Books and Middleman, because I do evangelize both so thoroughly. And if you've somehow missed them, go and watch all the source material.

YAY YULETIDE. YAY STORIES. YAY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Three years ago today, it was 2006, and I wrote what was pretty much a completely solid entry. It had me arguing with myself (denoted with italics), discussing my day, crypticness, and a totally amusing location:

Juicebox! ...Hoorah for Zaphesque behaviour

((Of course, now all I can think of when I see "location: juicebox" is "My location is...bookshop."))

So, one of the more complicated denizen stories is that of Zaphod. For a very long time, mek and I were both very very obsessed with Hitchhikers, and for whatever reason, he had a version of Ford1 running around in his head, and I had a version of Zaph. A fair amount of fan art got drawn involving these two, and us, and varying combinations thereof.

For some reason, somewhere along the way, he drew a picture of Zaphod, where he was casually drinking a juicebox with one head. The juicebox was just a detail, it didn't have anything to do with anything, but it immediately and totally felt perfect for his character. (I think it was this one, though I feel it was older)

Soyeah. Zaphod likes juice boxes.

Also, Ford looks damn good in a kilt.

Unrelatedly, "Quite Athwart goes All Decorum" remains the most wordporny sentence Shakespere's ever written, I do believe. *shivers happily*

MOOP!

1The other day I totally used "Sarcasm, Ford." on Emily. It made me smile.
