-D: What happened?-
Well, this morning I ended up finishing a fanfic I started reading yesterday instead of writing -- also had to leave early to go to the bank. Then, at work, I managed to get out a page and a half of each story, but part of me just felt completely out of it. Not to mention that I had a nice spate of customers come in TEN MINUTES BEFORE WE CLOSED. No huge orders, thank God, but God DAMN it, I hate that.
-VD: Well, we can't do much about the customers, and we always know you'll be distracted on this thing. But the "felt completely out of it" part--
You seriously think you can get me to go to bed earlier?
-VD2: Allow us our delusions, please.-
-DW: At least you got those pages done on "Boy Genius" and "From the Ashes Reborn."-
Yes, point. And I have ideas for drabble88s, so that's something in my favor.
-VD2: As long as you're writing something. And don't forget, there's the
backtothefanfic challenge fic.-
Got that covered -- finished the first draft of "Roll of the Dice" yesterday. Give it another look-over tomorrow.
-VD2: Oh, good.-
-TD: Any response to "Pretend You Don't Hear?"-
Yeah, Snow commented fairly favorably. Though I had to tell her about her "Lucrenzia" -- driving me NUTS. I can be a bit anal about that sort of thing. I mean, she's turned out to be a major player in the comic! And people still call her "Lucretia?" SHE'S AGATHA'S MOM, FOR SPARK'S SAKE!
-TD: *shakehead* Some people. . . .-
-H: Well, misspelling a fictional character's name isn't the worst offense in the world.-
No, but it's darn annoying, especially coming from fans. It's like the BTTF fans who spell DeLorean "Delorian" or worse. And getting Emmett right seems fairly difficult. Heck, even on the Johnny Lightning thing, they called him "Emit."
-D: . . . My name is CLEARLY STATED in the CREDITS, IN THE PHONEBOOK in the first movie, and ON MY DAMN TOMBSTONE in the third! If you can't remember how to spell it, for the love of God, just call me Doc!-
-TD: No, you need more oomph. You need to threaten them with death rays or something.-
-D: No, I save the death rays for that incompetent who called my sons "Jewels" and "Vern."-
-TD: Oh, yes. There shall be a reckoning for that one.-
Save your reckoning -- I don't believe that particular fanit has written anything since the early 2000s.
-TD: Oh. Good.-
-RPD: Anything for me to report on?-
( Always! )
-HD: Your mind really does seem to be stuck in Wonderland, doesn't it?-
Yeah, I know. BTTF Wonderland most of all, of course. I've tried to come up with some definite facts about your world, but it's just all so twisty, it's hard to define.
-WRM: You can always ask us. We do live there.-
-M: Is the Queen of Hearts really a girl?-
-WRM: Yes. Do NOT ask me how I know.-
-Martys: *shudder*-
-HD: She's Queen Biffica of Hearts. Her grandson Griff is King and Heir Apparent.-
-VD: Do I want to know what happened to create that situation?-
-MHG: Well, Biffica's husband was eaten by the Jabberwock, wasn't he?-
-HD: Yup. And Biffica's son Jiff was exiled to Oz a while back, so--
-D: Oz?!-
-HD: Yes, we share a border with them. Well, we share a border NOW -- it's the east side of the Chess Kingdom. In fact, the whole reason the Chess Kingdom is part of Wonderland is because they needed our help to stave off an attack from the Wicked Witch of the East. Naturally, this is BEFORE Dorothy and her house. . . .-
-WRM: Anyway, Jiff was in exile and had built himself a nice life in Oz. He couldn't come back to Wonderland under the rules, but he could send a relative, so he sent Griff. Griff was only too happy to assume the mantle of King.-
-MHG: I don't see why, it's mainly a decorative role. The Queen is the one with the power.-
-WRM: I think he just likes being able to strut around and say he's a king.-
Interesting. . . . Let me get some paper and I'll write this all down.
-DW: Don't forget to do some typing, though.-
Right -- maybe I'll start on one of my drabble88 ideas.
