I surrender!  Yesterday I wrote, “Does anyone even use Courier anymore, or is it hanging out with other forgotten fonts, drinking and talking about the good old days?”

Papa Smurf had magic. I have no idea how that will play out against Wolverine or Prime.

"To celebrate, I’m tempted to write an alt-universe story where Snow and Talia get married, share a passionate smooch, and then join Smudge the gay fire-spider in kicking Fred Phelps in the nuts."

I would pay to read that:) what a way to celebrate!

Hm ... you know, I do have an anthology deadline waiting for me after I finish up Snow Queen. Phelps-kicking wouldn't really fit the theme, but maybe I can stretch things a little ;-)

I never said it was *just* on my nose :-) My left arm has a decent rash going too. Doesn't seem to be getting worse at this point, but not really getting better yet, either.

Youch. That sounds like it would be bad enough to warrant a trip to the doctor for the good meds. Glad you're starting to heal up, at least.

Papa Smurf would win, because the other two would be begging for mercy after hearing Papa speak and sing.
