Considering the little LJ thing says we haven't updated in 4 weeks, I suppose I should say something so everyone knows we're still alive. *grin* We're all good - just keeping busy with work and being social and such. The usual.

On the writing front, things are picking up. The one story I'd started and stopped because I didn't know where to go with it has evolved, hopefully for the better. It has joined forces with a second story I'd plotted out but hadn't started yet, but am doing so now as the two transition into one larger, more involved story. It shall either be epic, or a massive failure of cliche and nonsense. We shall have to see.

*rubs hands gleefully and adds another thousand words*

Title: Intended Placement
Pairing: Glitch/Wyatt
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Ink kink, schmoop and unapologetic porn.
Summary: Glitch likes to wait for Wyatt naked. (No, I have no better summary.)

( Coming home... )

We went and saw Alan Cumming tonight.

He is everything that is adorable in all the world crammed into a teeny, tiny little Scottish man and I adore him. He tells the best stories and is stunning to watch performing music live.

*flail and squee*

To the creative writing half of us, I salute you and your oldness. May you continue to entertain and provide crack, smut, and h/c to the world for another 30 years.

I hope that Shawn, Glitch, and Tony visit you nightly to make all your dreams come true, and that they ride in on a T-rex to complete your life.

And now, a song

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
You smell like a monkey,
and you look like one too!

Oh wait, wrong song. :)

Title: Trigger
Rating: PG
Characters: Glitch/Cain
Summary: Glitch has a run-in with a local.


( I told you to go see Raw. )

Not that anyone cares, BUT...

It's been a while since I last updated the masterlist, so I thought I'd make mention of what's new in case anyone missed something or is incredibly bored.

What's NEW? THIRTEEN additions to the 'list. Whoot.

( Here's the latest additions: )

Okay, so the Tin Man peeps will have something new to look forward to! The same people who made Tin Man (Nick Willing directing, RHI Entertainment backing) have made a new mini-series for SyFy (*shudders at the new name*) coming in December:

ALICE

*dances the dance of joy* This looks *incredible*.

Check out the cast. Holy crap WIN.

Title: Esoteric
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairing: Cain/Glitch, DG, Raw, a scattering of OCs
Words: 6,500
Summary: When all the headcases in the O.Z. begin dying off, Cain is called back to the Palace and to Glitch. Once there, he makes a promise that he intends to keep.

( Cain looked up sharply. 'Headcases? What’s happening to them?' )

Title: Drained
Rating: PG
Words: 866
Pairing: Raw/Jeb
Summary: Jeb finds his way home after a long, rough day.
Notes: Early “Perceptible” ‘verse. Using two of the Big List of Cliches prompts: ‘exhaustion’ and ‘scars.’

( Covered in dried mud, ashes, and unspeakable things, it took the very last of Jeb’s strength and willpower to make it home. )

Not that anyone cares - but I did go back and finish posting the Wizard of OZ macros. They can be found here.

Go, have a laugh and superimpose the Tin Man characters in them. It's fun.

Ya know, to be honest, I (Surreal) don't watch enough detective/investigation type shows to really have a wide range of choices. But when I read this question, someone did jump to my mind right away.

Megan Connor from The Sentinel, played by Anna Galvin. (Tin Man fans know her as Lavender Eyes or The Queen.)

She was awesome. An "exchange detective" from Australia in the final season of the series, she was brought in as a love interest for the boys. Problem is, by that point in the series The Boys were already firmly a couple. (Yeah, slasher here, but it's TRUE.) So instead, she became a unique and fun character of her own. At one point, she made a comment about how Jim and Blair, together, were the perfect man.

Plus, you can't go wrong with a woman who crawls into the duct system of the police station to WRESTLE AN ESCAPED CROCODILE. \o/

ETA: Anndie chiming in here. Again, I don't really watch that many, or at least don't pay attention to them. Will agree with Surr's choice of Megan. She rules. My other choice isn't an actual detective, but she works with them. I love Abbey from NCIS. She takes no crap from the boys, is a tried and true geek, plus is the go-to chick when they need something solved. Also, who can show up to work one day dressed as Marilyn Monroe and get away with it? She can.

So, has anyone else seen the trailers for "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and automatically thought, "THAT IS AMBROSE/GLITCH?"

Seriously. He's a misunderstood inventor who only wants to create machines for the good of humanity. Until one of his inventions threatens to destroy the world.

Then there's the hair.

So, the two of us are going with some friends to kayak in the ocean off La Jolla beach (near San Diego).

Assuming we don't get eaten by sharks (yeah, not kidding, apparently) or by the aggressive, carnivorous jumbo squid that have come into the area...be back this evening! :D

ETA: Back. Didn't die. Surr capsized her kayak and went for an unplanned swim with the bat rays waaaaaaay out in the ocean. Also saw some pelicans (they're HUGE!). Discovered that next time some motion sickness drugs might be a good idea (those waaaaaaves...*uuuuuugh*).

But didn't die. \o/

Characters: Cain/Glitch
