Yuletide, yay!

Merry Christmas/Happy Saturday, everyone! (Happy Birthday, look_alive!)

Things are still bustling around here, so this will be brief: Yuletide! My amazing anon actually filled my alternate-universe NPR prompt and it's wonderful. A Terribly Ghastly Silence is what it's called, and it's... it's This American Hitchhiker's Excellent Adventure is what it is but really why are you reading my silly attempt at summarization when you could be reading the story itself? Go!

I still need to delve into the archive itself and poke around, but that can wait until after turkey and all its friends. And until after everyone else has stopped beating the server to death. So much fic... so, so much fic.

AAAAAAH THANK YOUUUU~! (again) ♥

THAT FIC. OMG. JUST. Dude, I totally didn't think you'd get that prompt filled but OMG I WAS SO HOPING. And it's like, awesome. Er. Excellent. Seriously.

OH, AIRAGLOSS IRA.

I know, right? It was actually the first thing I read Christmas morning because my dad woke me up way too early so we could start on dinner and I had to sit around waiting for everyone else to get up, and I think he thought I was crazy because I was just sitting in front of the computer grinning and laughing.

Dude, seriously. It's like, really great.

Okay, so I don't think I've ever borne witness to This American Life... when it comes to NPR I'm much more familiar with A Prairie Home Companion, but I get the idea. THIS WAS FABULOUS.

Oh, I read your Homestuck fic after all, for shits and giggles. Since it was only five pages and sitting around on my hard drive and all. I mostly had NO IDEA WTF WAS GOING ON but it was entertaining! ^_^

You should listen to This American Life! But the story does give a good idea of how it works. Broad, lofty thesis statement, close-up personal story that interprets it in an unexpected way (it works on so many different levels!)

Shhh, no one's supposed to know which fandom I wrote in yet. And don't feel bad about not knowing what was going on. I have a feeling it barely made sense even to people who know what's going on, plus Liberties Were Taken. At best I only have a vague idea of what's going on in the source material most of the time, but that's one of its charms.
