Because I was tagged: I believe:
May. 17th, 2006 09:20 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
crossover_chick-->that a woman has a right to choose whether or not to have a kid
-->that every person has the right to practice their own religion -- but not to force it on others
-->that science and religion should stay separate
-->that the idiotic minority of each particular group shouldn't influence the perception of the group as a whole
-->that all marriages should be called "civil unions" in legal terms (I don't know if this would help the argument for either side, but it can't hurt)
-->that meat-eating isn't inherently wrong, and that people shouldn't force vegetarism on others -- and ESPECIALLY not on their pets

-D: You're backsliding again.-
No, no! I'm not! I'm really not! I'm doing great with written writing!
-M: . . . That sound weird to anyone else?-
-VuM: Yeah.-
-VD: We give you credit for regularly going above and beyond with "Boy Genius" in writing. But you're getting very lazy when it comes to typing and editing.-
-VD2: Is it because there's no![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
backtothefanfic challenge this month?-
*frown* Maybe. But I haven't done the challenge other months, and I wasn't this bad.
-VM: Hah, you admit it.-
*grumble* Stupid mind games. . . .
-VD: Well then -- if you need a monthly challenge, then why not go back and do one of the old ones?-
Uh -- which one?
-DW: There's still a vague plot bunny about William McFly vs. Elias Von Braun. . . .-
Hmmmm. That has potential. . . . Dunno where I'd put it on Back To The Vampire, though.
-TD: Where else? PreTime! Those sort of stories don't necessarily HAVE to feature Marty and myself.-
True. But geez, it would be weird writing a story that didn't feature either of the main characters. Almost like writing original fiction.
-OD: Then it'll be good practice for later in life. My beef is about that drawing -- you've stalled out again. *tentacles pokepoke*-
I know, I know -- I keep meaning to work on it, and then. . . . Well, suffice to say, I've found another webcomic to read through the archives of, and there's a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
revison_doc update coming up. This one's short, though -- simply sending April off to college, then a small addendum about the Von Nostrand and Mathews families moving downtown while the kids are in college. I needed the real estate in the main neighborhood. The three of them are living in a converted townhouse downtown.
-D: Getting along well, I hope.-
So far. I don't know if it would go any further, as I really don't intend on playing them any more. They've basically served their purpose. They've got a nice house and a phone so they can keep in touch with their friends. That'll do.
-VDM: Yeesh. Sounds like the Downtowners get a bum deal.-
Eh, sort of. The main neighborhood is where all the action is, yes, but those who live in sub-neighborhoods will get their time to shine. Their main gripe should be that they're not allowed to breed (trying to keep neighborhood size down.)
-VD: Population controls?-
After a certain number of sims, the neighborhood dies. To keep things steady, no one living in a sub-neighborhood can have kids (they CAN marry, though.) Those in the main neighborhood can have kids, but most families will be limited to one pregnancy each.
-VD2: One preg -- oh, I see. The twins chance.-
Bingo -- I can't really control that except by limiting Maxis cheesecake. So most families will have one kid. Some rabid Family Sims might be allowed to have two or three. Emmett Von Braun will have the most, of course -- Julia, his alien child, Verne Servo, the robot he'll build (the game probably won't count this, but I do), and two kids with Gypsy.
-D: *smile* I wonder what they'll look like.-
I dunno. Blond and red are an even split, but they'll probably get your brown eyes.
-M: And at least they'll have noses.-
Quite right.
Okay, off to do therevison_doc update, then do some editing so the boys don't kill me.
-TD: Well, I could just use you in an experiment. . . . Come down to my lab, and see what's on the slab. . . .-
. . . Did he see "Rocky Horror" at some point without my knowledge?
