I'm so glad! I've been trying to write this for about a week so I'm glad it's not complete gibberish :-D

docsaico July 15 2008, 00:16:03 UTC

LOL! XD No, no, it's wonderful! <333

canadian_plant July 15 2008, 00:21:33 UTC

Oh, good :-)

Thanks!

Oh! I love Jack Skellington, omg. This was adorable :)

Hee, me too! Thanks!

Aw, I would've loved to see what good old "Sandy Claws" left for Stephen. Those poor kids in the movie still crack me up.

I love the idea of combining these two worlds! Very cute.

His 'Merry Christmas' was an average of six decibels louder than the 'Happy Holidays' of liberal pundits.

I do not doubt this.

canadian_plant July 16 2008, 00:41:46 UTC

Yes! Claws! I knew 'Sandy Klaus' didn't look right :-P I obviously need to watch the movie again.

Thanks for reading! I admit the idea for the crossover was computer generated, but I did my best with what I was given ;-)

*flails*

Now that I think about it, Jack spends a lot of the movie being a bit of a well-intentioned, poorly-informed, high-status idiot himself . . .

The impersonator handed Stephen a festive package and then, after ruffling the pundit's hair, disappeared back up the chimney.

Awwwww, Jack. ♥

"It was a dream! I was not ambushed by a ghoul in a Santa suit. Think about it, Jon; that just doesn't make sense."

Stephen chose to interpret the silence on the other end of the line as agreement, and hung up before reality could contradict him.

XD

Win and love.

I am honoured to have earned a flail *bows*

Now that I think about it, Jack spends a lot of the movie being a bit of a well-intentioned, poorly-informed, high-status idiot himself . . .

Shucks, I hadn't even thought of that! It provides good fodder for further crossovers, though. (Don't suppose I could tempt you? Yes? No?)

I wondered, after writing the bit about the ruffled hair, if it would stick out. Stephen's hair is always rock solid during shows and it mught be more in-character to suggest it is permanently shellacked. But I thought Jack would give it a go anyway :-D

Thanks for reading!

It gets messed up on occasion. Remember the time he pulled an all-nighter? It was all out of place and adorable after that =3

Don't suppose I could tempt you? Yes? No?

To play with Jack and Stephen some more? But I have so much stuff in progress and I don't have any ideas and hang on what if Stephen were a holiday so obviously he'd represent the Fourth of July and he would totally try to take someone else's over and this plot bunny has just moved into my head and plonked itself down like it owns the place.

(Jon would be something just as awesome but less flashy. Veterans Day? That goes along with his USO award, too. Now I'm going to have to work on what other correspondents can be holidayified...)

canadian_plant July 19 2008, 20:19:18 UTC

True, it does get messed up (usually to adorable effect). I just tend to over-think things a great deal. My thought process was as such:

It's the night before Christmas and Jon specifically said "Stephen, it's the middle of the night," which suggests after midnight. So Stephen was probably at midnight mass before coming home and switching on the news, and he would have fixed up his hair before heading to church. Thus why I thought it would be too styled to ruffle. But I guess I was thinking too much :-P

Ooh, I read your works-in-progress meme. I am impressed at the number of things you have going at once.

and I don't have any ideas and hang on what if...
:-D
