Rifftrax Live: Plan 9 from Outer Space!
It will be seen. This is a thing that will happen. Anybody wanna come along? I know the overlap between my MSTie (from which Rifftrax has its origins), online, and local friends is small, but still, and if any of the as yet uninitiated are curious...

And now that the exchange fic is well and truly done (not well, but done), I can turn my attention to other things. To that end, it's almost suspiciously convenient that I stumbled upon this meme:

The "You Should Write..." Meme!
my thread here

Choices:
a. One of the Watchmen ideas I've been toying with. All one-shots, except for something on the kink meme that I'll probably chicken out of writing anyway. It's just too awesome an idea for a n00b like me to tackle.
b. The Middleman/Better Off Ted crossover in which MM and Wendy visit Veridian to make sure they're not getting up to any too much mischief.
c. The fic that will be, ah, Plaude to the tune of Shrek. Multi-chapter, completely AU, hopefully amusing if on the black comedy side of things. Yeah, I wasn't kidding, [livejournal.com profile] c_quinn. I really want to write it.
d. Finishing that damn [livejournal.com profile] heroes15 table. Two more words, dangit, two!
e. Something else, to be specified on the thread.

I have commented. And would set up my own thread except that forcing you all to chose which one of my hypothetical fics to contemplate, start, ignore for months, and then maybe get back to if I feel like it would be cruel.

It does hurt an awful lot when you do that, but, still, we live in hope.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Will it make you feel better to know that the minute I finish the epic romance novel from hell, I'll finish up the And the Stars, They All Aligned sequel? 'cause it's on my list. I promise.

As for everything else I've promised...oops?

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
XD Ohh, it doesn't hurt, that's for sure.

Aw, you don't promise stuff hardly at all.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I figured it wouldn't ;)

No, just dangle random crossover ideas out there and promise to put them on my lists.

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, the random crossovers, I'd somehow managed to momentarily put them out of my mind. :(

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
I meant...what random crossovers? I promise no random crossovers. Nor do I dangle them. Ever.

Look, something that reminded me of you!

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
*snort* Someone just posted that on [livejournal.com profile] mst3k. *hums "Creepy Girl"* Hey- hey now, don't you distract me, you random fabulously awesome crossover tease!

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
*sigh* I thought my plan elegant in its simplicity, but I guess it wasn't.

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Pssh, elegant like a sledgehammer.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
That could...potentially be elegant? *sigh* I guess not.

Does the fact that there's a Wendy Watson cameo in the epic romance novel from hell make things a little better?

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly, to some.

In a miniscule way, yes.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
When compared to a wrecking ball, perhaps.

See, I throw you a bone or two every now and then.

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, the long arc ending in a terrific crash of impact. There's a hint of elegance in that.

Hmph. I'd prefer an Adrian/Veronica-shaped bone.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, that is pretty elegant, and my efforts were crude and pedestrian in comparison.

Heh, well. Keep your eye out on [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, pretty much.

Eeee! I can't wait to see people's reactions.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
*sigh* I'm such a disappointment when it comes to evil plans.

That's if it doesn't get relegate to "not secret" status or something. *laughs*

Also: how did the interview go? That was today, right?

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
For the best, probably.

Who would know besides us?

Yup. Well, I've learned my lesson about getting optimistic over these things. But, y'know, maybe it went well. Thanks for asking.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
There goes my career as a Karl Rovian mastermind. *sigh* How will I ever get over my disappointment at not starting a pointless war?

Heh, I meant that...well, I'm always afraid I've done something wrong, with fandomsecrets.

Aw, I'm sorry. I'm sure it was fine, though.

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
I guess you could always drown your sorrows in fic-writing.

Yeah, it's a little nerve-wracking. I haven't posted one in ages.

It probably was, I dunno. I do hope I get it, though it seems like a pretty intense job. I hope I don't end up in over my head.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Subtle ;) I'll have you know, I've been working very hard. I just wrote a bunch of Nathan scenes for the first time in...a very long time.

Me neither, but I have a couple lined up to bring the focus away from all the Torchwood angst. I feel for them, but...it's a lot of angst.

Well, it'll be a little tough in the beginning regardless, I think. Just going from having a job to not having one. But you'll adjust to it, I'm sure.

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
See? That's how you do it. Hm, well, you enjoy.. Nathan.

Yay! About time!

You've got a good point there. *sigh* For all I've been stressing out about getting a job, I know I'm going to miss all this lovely sitting around time.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm very impressed. *laughs* I'm not enjoying him, but he was necessary and I'd been putting off his scenes.

Let's just hope it's not too silly.

But think of all the money you'll make. For which to by awesome things. That'll be pretty cool, right? And maybe you'll have computer/internet access anyway.

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
You should be. Ah, well, it's definitely good to get scenes you've been putting off done.

Pssh, it's f!s, it's basically impossible to be too silly.

^^ Mmmm, money. I love money, just as much as I hate money. Heh, TBH, I might not have time for the Internet while I'm on the job.

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
I almost fell out of my chair in awe. Indeed. Even when they end up introducing a brand new plotline. Stupid Nathan.

This is true. Especially with random crazy crossovers, because who doesn't love those?

I'm an economics major, so I can't hate money. I just hate the lack of it. Well that just makes me sad. But I get it.

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you'll learn something. Oh dear, well, sometimes you just have to set those aside for later, when you can give them the attention they deserve.

No one I know, or care to know.

Me too, but, well, I've been saying and saying once I have a job, I can focus on fandom stuff with.. less guilt...

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'll keep my eyes open. That's probably what's going to end up happening. I think I've hit 100 pages, dude. I don't...even know what to make of that. Except to feel a little bad for whoever's going to end up assigned to this monstrosity. I hope they like AUs and Plaude porn, is all I'm saying.

Well said.

I can see that too. Of course you may be too tired by the time you get home to really focus on fandom stuff but...I'm sure that won't happen.

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
100, wow. Well, I'm pretty sure I'd be flabbergasted, if it was me getting the fic, in a good way. I suppose it's possible they may not like AUs/porn, though since I assume it was a Plaude prompt and therefore they like Plaude okay...

Heh, maybe, but that'll just be until I adjust.

Okay, well, I'd rather not have another late night. I've got a certain director's cut I wanna watch tomorrow morning. Talk to you later!

[identity profile] visiblemarket.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well, it's for [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], so you basically write what you want, and then, if you turn it in on time, and it's long enough, someone'll illustrate it for you. So...whoever that someone is...will end up having to read a lot of Plaude AU porn (and some plot). YEah...

Well, we'll still be here, providing you your daily dose of Plaude.

Good night!

[identity profile] c-quinn.livejournal.com 2009-07-31 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Shrek! Whoo-hoo!

Yes, I am happy someone other than me will write it. [laugh]

[identity profile] lotus0kid.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
XD You're welcome. It's just too good an idea, and so wonderfully AU. It'll be so much fun, hopefully.
