crossover_chick: gif with Doc and Marty trying to get out of being written into twisted AUs (feeling sparky/creative)
1. The description of how the Guild of Thieves operates in Ankh-Morpork. In particular, the mention of rich citizens paying the guild to be left alone, which is known by a foreign word -- in-sewer-ants.

Considering how much I LOVED Twoflower (and am praying he shows up when Rincewind goes to visit the Counterweight Continent in "Interesting Times"), it's really great to see he's left an impression on the city. :D

2. This comment to this particular metaquote. I mean, the entire thing is hilarious, but this one made me crack up. I guess it's something about INTERPRETIVE DANCE!

3. In my overview of one of the old Corpse Bride LJ communities, somebody brought up the question of how did Emily know Victor's name. The plausible explanation somebody brought up is that she knows Scraps, and thus realized at some point Guy I Just Married = Scraps's Owner = Victor! However, in the name of fun, somebody wrote this:
And I was just going to go with, "He has his name written on his boxers, which she'd inspected while he was unconscious. .. For research purposes."
Of course, my mind immediately flashed to a certain scene in BTTF (though it flashed back once I realized that it wouldn't be Emily in the Lorraine role, but NELL). That was funny enough -- but down near the bottom of the comment thread, there was this:
As long as he didn't wear purple underwear that led her to believe that his name was Calvin... :D
I wish that entry wasn't from 2005 so I could go "MOTHERFUCKING WIN" on it. XD

I GOT MY GIRL GENIUS BOOK AND BOOKPLATE! WITH A PENCIL SKETCH OF GIL! AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC! :D
-TD: About time, huh?-
Yeah -- stupid printer problems. I've been waiting on this for months! Anyway, the book itself looks great. It's even got a few extra pages in the back with some of the images they previously offered as donation wallpapers. :D And the bookplate sketch is AWESOME. Since my scanner is being a little bitch, you'll have to settle for pictures of it after we framed it:
Gil Is The Best )

While that's the obvious highlight of my day, I have to say that Linkara was pretty damn awesome today too. He took on "Batman: Fortunate Sons," a 1999 graphic novel about Batman and Robin fighting this crazed rock star. It's basically about how everything connected to rock is evil.
-M: *jawdrop* WHAT THE HELL?!-
-M2: That's screwed up! Is this one of those idiots who thinks rock is from the devil or something?-
I don't know! Maybe he likes Jack Chick! (Somebody has to.)
-Martys: *fume, muttergrumble*-
-VD2: Moving along, how's the fanfic coming?-
Got some more written on "When Worlds Collide," got the first prompt of 30 Dances written in my notebook. I should also mention I've gone back and put tags on a lot of the fanfic in my memories -- I wanted an easy way to identify all of it, particularly the prompt fics. I'll be including all the tags on this entry so you guys can click back and see what's what.
So yeah, today, all told, has been pretty good.

Which means tomorrow's probably going to suck. *braces self*
-HD: Oh, don't be so negative.-
I can't help it. You've seen what happens when I'm happy!
-D: Go play some more Spymaster and try not to think about it.-
