Some lingering thoughts from yesterday, and how NOT to write drabbles

[isi]

-That was the most amazing podcast ever recorded.

-We do indeed have some very special lurkers, like I suspected for some time.

-I feel like we need something like in the subreddit header where it has the yellow text that says snappy things like "Check out Beef's legs!" Only ours would say, "isn't much different than the subreddit" -Guude

-After being outed in the podcast and officially acknowledged by Guude there, I actually feel kind of invincible. I don't mind as much when we get linked on the subreddit, and I no longer fear the wrath of trolls. Not to mention there's mostly valid discussion about shipping and fic writing in the reddit podcast thread. No blind hatred anywhere.

-I found this thing called Drabble Matic, which is essentially ad libs with fanfic. With everything that's happened recently I decided to do one with Guude and Wes from the podcast, and filled in the rest of the blanks with the most ridiculous, flowery words I could think of.


To Quintessentially Ravish

Guude and Wes were celebrating a florid Valentine's Day together. Guude had cooked an exalted dinner and they ate in the chicken farm by candlelight.

"My darling," Wes said, stroking Guude's spleen, "I have something for you." He gave a box to Guude. "It is but a superfluous token of my savory love."

Guude opened the box. Inside was a seductive lupus! He gazed at it indulgently. Then he gazed at Wes indulgently. "It's magical," Guude said. "Come here and let me ravish you."

Just then, an ambrosial crone sprang out of hiding and cackled like the happy space unicorns who deliver all the sunshine and rainbows all across the world. "Your happiness will not last!" she said in a sparkling voice and dropped a piece of paper onto the dinner table.

Wes read it. "It's a page from a diary. It says...it says that you're my brother."

They stared at each other ornately as the crone cackled some more. Guude's knee began to tremble. Then Wes shrugged, pulled out a creeper, and hit the crone on her nose. She fell over dead.

"Problem solved!" Guude said and kissed Wes flippantly. "This is a pulchritudinous Valentine's Day!"

They majestically burned the diary page in the candle and never told another soul.

And then they ravished each other all night long.


Edit: In other news, I made a new icon. Dunno if I'm entirely happy with it. It was surprisingly hard to find a good picture of a mining turtle. I had to pull this from one of Guude's videos.

Comments

Ehh...

[pink_sheep]

I second the yellow text! It's a must! XD but we should have white! For white text :D And.. .... Guude.. Real Guude/jason replied? Oh god can I go hide in a dark corner while I allow my brain to reconstruct itself..? Ok.. Wow? I didn't see he has replied I didn't really check after last night.. But wow.. Oh god I feel so awkward now knowing he is probably reading everything I write now :( I'm kinda scared now I know they all know about this.. I haven't even told 'friends' or my boyfriend what this website really is... T_T oh dears..

Re: Ehh...

[isi]

*pat pat* Oh, all you people who weren't around when salad became a thing. You'll get used to it. And look at it this way: he's known about all this for months now and the universe has failed to implode. Really nothing has changed. If he had a problem with anything we do here, he would have said it, but instead he just said we have nothing to worry about. We've been validated as fairly normal by Guude. We're fine!

Re: Ehh...

[pink_sheep]

Salad? I wondered why it was a mindcrack icon >.<" I thought you might just be a vegetarian..speaking of witch I made my own now xD

I suppose so hopefully it isn't doing so slowly, I just hope he explain we are harmless to the others still strange though. Guude your awesome if you see this :3 and normal.. That's a word I never thought to hear :p
I'm just still abit stranged out he has probably seen my story.. T_T I feel horrible shipping him now. D:

Re: Ehh...

[isi]

Not a vegetarian. The reason my icon is salad is this and this. Basically the same thing that's happening now happened four months ago with MC.

Re: Ehh...

[pink_sheep]

This makes sence now xD oh wow.. Code word.. That's brilliant :3

[ampresand]

Woot. Well, there's another Salad for us.

I second the white text! That and something like the FAQ we were talking about some time ago. Perhaps we could set up something where we could all contribute to it?

[isi]

After I heard about the podcast I actually finally started writing one. But then I saw that Guude commented and I kind of derailed and didn't finish it. I'll see if I can get it up later today and you guys can give feedback.

[pink_sheep]

We could all have a small pice about why we write fan fic? I'm sure we al, have similar but different reasons and ways we found it :3 might encourage others to join and have a go. I know I lurked for ages thinking everyone was like..English degree students >.>"

[isi]

I only minored in English, come on.

I think that's a great idea. :3

[pink_sheep]

XD I only passed at highschool, level and that was my second attempt.

Glad you like it :) it might make some people who think there stuff is rubbish and might just get slated... Complete opposite actually..

[mindcrack_love]

Couldn't pull off the Yellow Text (any CSS gurus willing to help me out?) but eh, I did what I could. :3

EDIT: also, new secondary tag. Just like the difference between "salad" and "mindcracker: MC" tags. I'm feeling silly today.

[isi]

*cracks up*

[pink_sheep]

That is genius xD
You've made my day now

"As lurked my Guude boulder fist" *continues to collapse lungs laughing...*

[guiltyshirts]

Dammit I laughed entirely too much. XD

[guiltyshirts]

Sorry, I got stuck on 'stroking his spleen'. *dies*

As a short aside, I hope that actually was Guude and not someone just signed up with his name. Not that we have any reason to believe it wasn't, y'know.

[mindcrack_love]

If it's any consolation, the IP address associated with the comment (which I can see as moderator of the community) does correspond to IPs given by an Internet provider in North Carolina. (Obviously, I am not going to state which.) Unless Guude states it himself on Youtube/Reddit/Twitter, I can't give you more definitive proof, but I have no reason to doubt it.

[isi]

That's good enough proof for me. And he basically already admitted he knew about us in the podcast. If there was an impostor, the real Guude would find out anyway.

[guiltyshirts]

Of course. :) Was just thinking eh, people. It'd be a rubbish troll though.

Also I've only now realized I can see IP addresses on my own posts here - but I wouldn't know how to check where it came from.

[mindcrack_love]

IP lookup, it's pretty simple.

[guiltyshirts]

Ahh.

[pink_sheep]

I see them sometimes too.. I'm not sure how but i did it once when I was like.. 13 but I've well and truly forgotten how too..

Anyone sad enough to troll us like that really would have too much time on there hands anyway..

[theropod]

Me too :3

[nekofan]

That amazing drabble machine is going to keep me busy for an hour or so! :D I love it~!

It now feels much more relaxed here again now that the whole sweep of 'ERMAHGERDPEOPLEKNOWOFUS!HIDETHEDRU..uh.. FANFICTIONS!!!' has passed :3

[pink_sheep]

Even I feel alot less freaked out xD fan girl moment and a half I suppose..
Now back to fic writing ^_______^

[mzrootbeer]

So I was on the podcast, and was like "That place sounds familiar...." Then I rushed over here remembering I was a member. Glad to be back!

[nekofan]

Someone else to add to the meta pic~! <3 Nice to see you!

[theropod]

Welcome home :D

[isi]

Nice to see you back!

[pink_sheep]

Welcome back :3 newbie hear
Hope you enjoy the new fan fic everyone has produced lately!

[theropod]

That drabble, good god XD

And yeah, I think we should at this point just assume all the guys know about us. Maybe not all of them stalk us in silence for six months but we should probably assume they do.

Oh god what if he read Bound. Oh god. I might not live this down XD

I'm now however tempted to write more general type stories like Guude and Wilson's Day Out or some kind of dramatic retelling of UHC. Just so there's more general things for them to read between all the ships. But then I kick myself into remembering I have way too much to do already XD I have a finale with explosions to write for goodness sake.

[ampresand]

I think Guude and the guys would be able to recognize when a fic would cause awkwardness and avoid it, and if they do read it I'm pretty sure they'd be able to realize that it is not written with any kind of ill intent, step back and read it as just another m/m romance story, and/or enjoy it themselves. So I don't think we have much to worry about.

Then again I would find it awkward/nerve-wracking if Doc found that fic I wrote, partly because he is one of the guys who I have no idea about his stance on fic.

[theropod]

Heh yeah, I suppose that's true. Guude and Pause are fairly chill with it. Now I just wonder what Zisteau and Kurt think XD It would be good to know how they all feel about it really.

[isi]

Or in Pause's case, find it hilarious.

It's hard to guess what some of their reactions would be, but at this point I think we're all aware of each other's presence, and if any of them really objects to being represented in a fanfic, they can come forward and say so.

[isi]

I know, I have tons of ideas for gen fic I want to get around to, but I've got a finale with wither fights to write.

What have I done?

[celestepastore]

So I did one with Zisteau as the protagonist and one with Kurt and... Well the first one would have been almost good if the positions had been switched and the second one is just... Wow.

Drabble 1:

Zisteau sipped Hungrily at his drink and stood Dry behind a Flower. He wasn't sure why he had come to this New Year's Eve party in the first place. He was no good at parties anyhow. They always made him feel Breathtaking and he ended up like he was now, hiding and hoping nobody noticed how Sultry his Hips got when he was nervous.

Well, truth be told, Zisteau knew very well why he was at the party: to see Kurt.

Ah, Kurt. Just the thought of him, the chance of a glimpse of his Rough Chest made Zisteau's heart beat as the wind whispers through the grass.

But tonight everyone was masked. Zisteau peered Sheepishly through the crowd, trying to guess which guest was Kurt. There, he thought, the man over by the Sign, the Soft one with the Wolf mask. It had to be Kurt. No one else could look so Jovial, even in a Wolf mask.

He began to walk Zisteau's way and Zisteau started to panic. What if he actually talked to Zisteau?

Kurt came right up to Zisteau and Zisteau thought that he was going to faint.

"Hello," Kurt said Hesitantly. "What are you doing over here all alone?"

"Oh, just looking at the Pickaxe," Zisteau said and immediately wanted to die because that sounded so Deep.

Just then, a Fragrant voice began to count down. "Ten ... nine ... eight ... seven ..."

Zisteau's heart leapt. If they were together at midnight, that meant that Kurt might ...

"Happy New Year!"

Kurt swept Zisteau into his arms, bent him atop the Lens, and kissed Zisteau Forcefully, slipping him the tongue and groping his Hand.

Zisteau could hardly believe it. How wonderful! And now that it was after midnight, it was time to take their masks off. He reached out Deeply and pulled Kurt's mask off his face. It was Kurt! "I knew it was you," Zisteau said and took his own mask off.

"And it's ... you," Kurt said. "You know, I'm just going to go get some punch."

Zisteau watched him go. He would be right back, Zisteau was sure. Just as soon as he had his punch.

And then they would fall in love.

Drabble 2:

It snowed a foot overnight. When they woke up, Zisteau and Kurt went out to play. First, they made snow angels. Then they had a snowball fight and Zisteau hit Kurt in his Hips with a big Soft iceball. It hurt a lot, but Zisteau kissed it Hungrily and then it was all better.

Then they decided to make a snow man.

"We'll make a really Jovial snow man!" Zisteau said.

"Why don't we make a snow woman instead?" Kurt said. "That would be more Fragrant and politically correct."

"I know," Zisteau said. "We can make a snow Wolf. That way, we don't have to worry about gender politics."

So they rolled the snow up Hesitantly and made a Breathtaking snow Wolf. Zisteau put on a Flower for the Hand. The Wolf was almost as big as Kurt.

"It looks Rough," Zisteau said Deeply. "But it seems like it's missing something."

"Here," Kurt said and held up a Dry Pickaxe. "I found this atop the Lens." He put the Pickaxe onto the Wolf's head.

It was perfect. For about a minute. Then the Wolf, even though it was just made of snow, started to move and growl as the wind whispers through the grass.

Kurt screamed Sheepishly and ran but the snow Wolf chased him until he tripped over a tree root. Then the snow Wolf Licked him Forcefully.

"Nobody does that to my little Deep Sign," Zisteau screamed. He grabbed an icicle and stabbed the snow Wolf through the Chest. It fell down and Zisteau kicked it apart until it was just a bunch of snow again.

"You saved me!" Kurt said and they shared an embrace in the snow before going in for hot chocolate.

The Pickaxe lay in the yard until a Blue child picked it up and took it home.
