intoabar's masterlist is up! Among the ones I've read, my favorites are:
Gonna Be 5000 Miles by
grammarwoman (G, Willow from BtVS meets Ducky from NCIS);
Two Birds in a Bar by
elf (G, Tim Drake from the DCU meets McGonagall from Harry Potter);
Comes A Horseman.... by
a_lanart (G, Methos from Highlander meets Susan Sto Helit from Discworld);
Waiting On A Friend by
cyloran (G, Iolaus from Hercules meets Sarah Jane Smith from Doctor Who);
Not The Best Of Days by
hhertzof (PG, Turlough from Doctor Who meets Abby from NCIS);
Power Trip by
mackiedockie (NR, Joe Dawson from Highlander meets Tony Stark from the Iron Man movies); and
Love and Peas by
agelade (G, Vash from Trigun meets Shawn and the team from Psyche)!
That was a fun ficathon, even though I nearly got stuck and wigged out at the end. Woot!
Things I've been meaning to link to:
Entry for 'Duck' in the Scottish Wikipedia.
Scariest pumpkin ever.
Via @gunnerkrigg: Japan puts incredibly realistic robots on the stage.
Via
elliptic_eye: Paul Cornell wants to see YOUR fic with his characters in it!
Also, @neilhimself is riding a griffin. Your argument is invalid.
And yesterday in weird science:
Scientists create a new kind of antimatter. Not just antimatter, but a new kind of antimatter. It has a strange quark in it!
Scientists discover a star which glows green and stinks. Fortune-hunters searching for Lucy should steer clear of this one.
Cracks discovered in Discovery's fuel tank. GAH. Good thing it didn't lift off as scheduled. Come on, NASA, can't we build a shuttle tank that won't do that!?
Also, Default-tagged by
elliptic_eye: influence meme!
Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets [and comic book authors] included)* who've influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag everyone, because I'm interested in seeing what authors my friends choose.
1. J.R.R. Tolkien.
2. Isaac Asimov.
3. Patricia A. McKillip.
4. Rex Stout.
5. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
6. Diane Duane.
7. John Masefield.
8. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
9. Walt Whitman.
10. Tite Kubo.
11. Don Rosa.
12. Masashi Kishimoto.
13. Stan Sakai.
14. Robert Frost.
15. Abraham Lincoln.
Probably not surprising. I could list a whole slew of others, too.
OK, catchup stuff over. XD Content coming up soon.
