Doing A LITTLE Better

-->revison_doc and eurekasims updates -- April, Dave, and Linda experience snow, while Barty complains about having to rake leaves.
-->Chapter 4 of "Marty In Wonderland" is up at last. And I just got the Chapter 6 beta, so I'm off and running on that.
-->Today's Girl Genius is hilarious because of the ads. I was admiring the view of the city when, from out of nowhere, this catches my eye:
Try Prof Millholland's "Something Positive" Tonic!
Which lead to me realizing -- all the ads? Nods to other webcomics! Somebody on the community made a list:
Lessee, what do we have... Left to right:

Girls with Slingshots <http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/gws.html>
Wapsi Square <http://www.wapsisquare.com>
A misspelled Gunnerkrigg Court <http://www.gunnerkrigg.com>
Cheyenne Wright's Arcane Times <http://www.arcanetimes.com>
A misspelled R.K.Milholland's Something Positive
<http://www.somethingpositive.net/>
A misspelled Dominic Deegan <http://www.dominic-deegan.com>
Home On The Strange <http://www.homeonthestrange.com>
The Devil's Panties <http://devilspanties.keenspot.com>
and the Foglios' own beloved Buck Godot
<http://www.studiofoglio.com/buck.html>

I also see Mosp from Sluggy Freelance
<http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=041001> on the back side of the gate,
and I think I've seen the warthog-type thing to her right before, too,
but can't remember where.

The Foglios are fun people!
-TD: Now if only the fan fic group would run with this. . . .-
Yeah, I'll get back to work on Chapter 9 of "Boy Genius" tomorrow. God knows that place is dead.
-TD: What happened? Did everyone just lose interest?-
*shrug* Maybe Greenburg lost his computer or something. And we know Honor wasn't feeling well before. . . .

Maybe I Should Go To Bed Early Tonight

I feel wiped.
-D: I suppose this isn't helping the fan fic situation any.-
-VD: Neither are reading those sporkings.-
Well, you'll be happy to know I'm off ONE set. "Hogwarts Exposed" is too much for me. At least Rose doesn't have people having nipples bitten off.
-VD: . . . .-
Yeah, I KNOW.
-M2: Where do people come UP with this stuff?-
I have no clue. Absolutely no clue. It's insane, it really is.
-TD: Stuff like this makes me GLAD the GG Fanfic group is dead. I'd hate to see that there.-
I think Girl Genius has avoided most of the really crazy so far. It's not free from wankiness, but at least there's no Neils (Hogwarts Exposed) or Halycons (Rose Potter) to screw things up. And shipping wars? What shipping wars? Most everyone knows that it's almost certainly gonna be Agatha/Gil, and those who ship differently are being very mature about canon.
-VD: You've been reading Harmony wanks again.-
Well, both Neil and Halycon are Harmonians. I can't avoid it.
-M: That's who the Harmonians have on their side? No wonder they look bad.-
Heh, I know. I know there's sane Harry/Hermione shippers out there, but batshit just operates at a greater decibel level.
-Everyone: *nod sagely*-
Anyway, not much to say -- got another eurekasims update done. I'm starting to worry that I'm moving that story much too slowly -- it's been barely a week in Sim-time since I moved the characters in. I tried making a post on simstorytellers, but nobody's responded. :(
-RPD: *patpat* I'm sure SOMEONE will say something. At any rate, you're certainly not tied to your current update schedule. If you want to speed things along. . . .-
I know, I know. I'm thinking of updating on the villagers a lot less. Leaves time for the main characters. I like playing Emma, Emmett, and Allison the best anyway.
-D: How about fanfic?-
Work was busy, so I didn't get much of a chance -- page and a half on "Dude Looks Like a Lady," page on "From the Ashes Reborn."
-OD: *tentacles "gasp"* Do you HAVE to do the "drag" story now?!-
Come on, guys, I'm on a bit of a humor kick anyway. It's nice to have something to leaven out the angst. *patpats* It's short, don't worry.
-OD: Even so. . . .-
-DW: I say we let her get it out of her system so I can stop seeing the plot bunnies for it.-
There we go. Not much else going on up there, sadly.
-DW: Besides "The Mask" thoughts, that is.-
-D: *amused* What do you think we'd be like if one of us wore the Mask?-
*pause* *points at HatterDoc*
-D: *laughing* Good answer.-
-HD: *suspicious* Am I being made fun of?-
No, of course not sweetie. "The Mask" is a favorite movie of mine. Besides, your Wonderland does seem to operate on cartoon physics.
-HD: *shrugs* When your world is everything is what it isn't, normal phsyics runs for the hills.-
I wouldn't doubt it.
-VD2: Any chance of acknowledging He-You-Will-Not-Name?-
Look, it's not just because I'm having enough trouble handling YOU lot. It's because I don't want him hurt if he ends up fading out. Docs I know I can keep. Other fandom muses. . . Well, remember Sarah and John?
-VD2: . . . Didn't think of it like that.-
-DW: I do think this situation is a little different. Sarah and John, to the best of my knowledge, didn't have an amusing nickname ready.-
-TD: *smug* I thought you weren't naming him.-
*annoyed* I'm not. And you'd better keep your mouth shut. You know if it's said in the LiveJournal, he IS going to stay.
-D: He's been here for almost three weeks exactly -- I think he's staying.-
Let's give it a couple more days, okay?
I leave you with a Sims pic -- the most inappropriate breakfast topic ever:

Not just ANY woohoo, FIRST woohoo.
-RPD: *would headdesk if he was solid*-
-M: I'm surprised that kid isn't puking.-
