Living Dead Girl
May. 16th, 2007 10:33 pm-D: Hi folks, it's us again. We're updating because we're trying to put the author to bed early tonight. She's been staying up far too late lately, and it shows.-
-TD: Yes, we know this means less writing time for us, but, speaking for at least myself, I'd rather have fewer COHERENT edits.-
-VD: She's not sick or anything, don't worry. Just tired.-
-D: We do have some progress reports:-
-TD: She did two pages of the Narbonic!Marty story over the past three days. We've also finally got a title -- she's using the title of that book
smudge_pot liked so much, "A Note of Madness." It seems to fit, and we'll be crediting in the final haul, so. . . .-
-OD: Work on "The Gift and the Curse" is proceeding VERY nicely -- she's been writing two pages a day! *tentacles chitter happily*-
-VD2: "What Lies Within" is finally starting to wrap up. She's also started a new short story for the
backtothefanfic challenge of the month, called "Stuck With You."-
-RPD: There's a new
revison_doc update -- having a dog has finally made playing the Parkers semi-interesting.
-DW: The DVD version of "Ich Liebe Dich" is coming along all right, if a tad slowly. Mostly because she's editing it as she goes along.-
-VD: *pouts* Not much progress editing anything else, though. *sighs* Then again, given all the fiction work she's made for herself, I shouldn't be all that surprised. We really need to work out some sort of schedule with her. . . .-
-VD2: More accurately, we need to prod her more on weekends, when she has a bit more time to write.-
-TD: First let's get that notebook of hers organized. It might help.-
-HD: *nervous* Does that mean including the overly plotted bunnies? Not to sound like Victor--
-TTV: Hey!-
-HD: -- but I'd like to see as little of "American McGee's Marty" as possible!-
-D: I'm sure we can work something out. Right now -- what? Oh, all right -- she has a meme she wants us to post.-
From
darkjediprinces:
Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudocanon.
Original characters too although I guess that would be more canon?
-OD: If you're going to ask about any of the BTTF characters, remember to specify a universe! Yes, most of us do have similar pasts, but our futures are something else again.-
-M: *looking around* Tell us about it.-
-D: Now to drag the author into bed.-
-TD: *evil grin* Oh please, allow me. . . .-
-DW: We're doing this for her own good, not for revenge!-

Date: 2007-05-17 03:17 pm (UTC)1. Although she does wear black most of the time, it's not the only thing she wears. She has been seen in darker shades of blue and purple. And of course she wore white on her wedding day.
2. She's terrified of zombies. Really! Her mother scared the crap out of her with some voodoo stories when she was younger, and now she freaks at the mere mention of them.
3. Similarly, she's a little leery of turkey after a nasty case of food poisoning one Thanksgiving. She'll eat it, but not often.

Date: 2007-05-19 03:54 am (UTC)1. Doc was a virgin up to his wedding night with Clara -- his mother pounded it into his head that "good boys" waited until marriage, and since he only had two serious relationships, he never got that far.
2. Doc got his locomotive at a discount from the trainyard -- it was an old one with a blown boiler. It still cost him a pretty penny, though, and he had to set up a payment plan to fully cover the cost.
3. The Fourth of July incident? After a number of jibes from the three old-timers at the saloon, one of them decided to switch his drink with Doc's sasparilla. They were NOT expecting Doc to just fall over like that. And they CERTAINLY weren't expecting RagingHangover!Doc to threaten to bash their heads in with his blacksmith's hammer if they ever pulled a stunt like that again. (Doc did feel guilty later and apologized -- he says it's not his best moment.)

Date: 2007-05-18 04:14 am (UTC)1. Doc adopted Einstein the same year he met Marty, from the local pound. Einstein was 1 1/2.
2. Einstein is a mutt -- as Doc said in "Best Friends Forever," part bearded collie, part sheepdog. I chose those because a thread on BTTF.com discussing Einstein's breed mentioned those two as likely candidates.
3. Einstein hates dry dog food because he got sick from it once. The people who owned him when he was a puppy didn't take very good care of their food stores, and Einstein got a moldy bowl one time. He was hungry enough to eat it, but he got really sick and had to visit the vet emergency room. Since then, he's refused to eat anything but canned.

Date: 2007-05-18 04:22 am (UTC)Stuff on OckDoc:
1. He actually HAS duct-taped the tentacles' claws closed once, like he threatened to do in "Eight Arms to Hold You." A man can only listen to so many screeched arguments.
2. He was once approached by a deodorant company to star in a commercial -- he turned them down because a) he thought it was a bit silly and b) he could only imagine the damage his curious tentacles might do to the study.
3. Ironically, one of his other favorite villains from Marvel is Electro -- he thinks the guy has a really cool power in being able to control electricity. ;)
Where No Sane Person Dares to Tread
I'd like to know three things about Jack the Evil Twin...
*Tip toes out before the Docs can get her!*
Re: Where No Sane Person Dares to Tread
Date: 2007-05-18 01:53 pm (UTC)1. Jack actually does have a doctorate in biology. It took him a lot longer to get than Doc's, of course, but he is a real doctor.
2. Jack is actually a quarter-inch taller than Doc -- it's barely noticable, though.
3. Jack doesn't really have a soul -- whatever's in there has been so twisted and corrupted it barely resembles an actual soul anymore. Therefore, after his death, he basically kind of self-destructs.
