it's days like these that keep me on my winning streak

As much as I bitch about work, you can probably tell that it gets a little bit stressful around here. Thankfully, now that wilowisp & I are friends, I have someone around to keep me sane and exchange Fail Blog pics with. There may occasionally be shenanigans. And perhaps some tomfoolery.

Zach is a writer and appreciates a well-written story, so when this excerpt of the fine book Silk and Steel by Ron Miller was making the rounds a couple weeks ago, I sent it to him. And it's kept us amused for days! We like to quote it to each other.

Then, last Tuesday, it was an especially rough day, I got stuck working late and I was starting to lose it. Kind of badly. I was emailing back and forth with seimaisin and she offered to treat me out for dinner to help distract me for the evening. Zach wandered over to steal candy since he thought I was gone (a ha!) and interrupted me just as I was telling Jaime that I'd love to go out to dinner. And Zach interjected that she should definitely take me out. And perhaps wear something saucy because then maybe she'd get lucky. Which cracked me up. I related this to Jaime and joked that 'maybe Zach ships us.' And a RIDICULOUS idea was born.

Zach wrote a fic about us. I beta'd a fic about myself. I live in a wonderfully weird world.

DISCLAIMER: Zach is a lovely writer. Please do not judge him on this! It's sort of a parody of Silk and Steel. And it's utterly awful and crazy. But I'm posting it to share this madness with all of you, because I know you'd want to read it. ;)

I'm not participating in the lj content strike, for reasons I won't bore you with. I just fail to see how it's going to accomplish anything. If you want to get TPTB attention, you need to do something that actually affects their business. Remember the "get as many comments as possible" meme that pretty much took out lj's servers for a few days a couple years ago? Yeah, something like that.

In any case, as an anti-strike motion there's a Porn Party, a Crack!battle and a Fluff!battle going on, and I wholly approve.

I've found all my Torchwood/Doctor Who ringtones, I have a new semi-nekkid Janto wallpaper and my new phone is starting to look a little more like it's mine now. I still have some phone numbers to track down but I've got a lot of them already. Not bad for two days after phone death.

Perhaps the less said about how last night turned out the better. =/

Title: Going Back to Nature
Pairing: Nigel/Bug, of course
Word count: 849
Comments: This is because that line in "Revealed" cracks me up every time. Also, duckduck, I'm sure you will be thrilled to see that the B&N crowd's very favorite magazine makes a cameo appearance.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'em. Because there's no way all that nudity would make it onto broadcast television if I did.

Another result from the drabble meme.

For: dragonessasmith
Pairing: Garret/Dr. Stiles
Comments: Poor Howard. Even shrinks need a friend to talk to!
( Garret stormed into his office and slammed the door. )

Fandom: Crossing Jordan
Word count: 1,144
Pairing: Nigel/Trey, with a side of Jordan
Rating: Slashy, yet totally innocent
Comments: This is my imagining of the events leading up to Trey becoming Nigel's soul mate. I kind of just whipped it up, at Kate's suggestion, and I'm not sure if I like it. Trey's not really around long enough to get a good feeling of his character.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'em. Because this would be canon if I did.
