Hey gang, thanks for either coming back, sticking around, or just refusing to leave because you were having such a good time or managed to get stuck to the couch. I figure those of you who are still here or felt like dropping back could help me clean up a little, talk about the party, and nurse our hangovers together. I've got Bloody Marys, Virgin

And I LOVED (like rivers_bend) reading everyone's fics! It was a surfeit of wonderfulness, complemented by the candy and the atmosphere here.
The idea of a "Come as you aren't" comm is a good one, then we can have a central place to have all these unusual fics and parties several times a year. Although I don't think I'm going to do anything quite so elaborate as what I did here. *winks and grins exhaustedly*
I would have to vote with you that the scariest costume was absolutely deelaundry's "Pillory." Just heartwrenching.

I think that you were right to not post the invite to the comms, and just snowball through friends-lists.

I was going to show up with a Wilson/Grace het, but it was turning out all angsty and depressing and I thought dammit, not this time. I wanted to write a sex scene where House and Wilson could simply get lost in the sensation and not have to worry about anything but pleasure. The song lyric was perfect for that. What cinched it for me was at work, the September "In Style" magazine had a "Sexy A to Z" and guess who was D? Hehe. HL was asked in that article, "Home or hotel?" He answered (and I'm paraphrasing), "Hotel. Because both partners can be something they normally aren't." So smut was born. Plus, er, I did want to write a rimming story. I guess that really was "bringing out the need no-one can hear" *whistles innocently*It was going to be a couple thousand word PWP, but then it developed a plot as I tried to figure out how they got to the hotel room.

I honestly wasn't expecting as many fics as we got. If I do it again, I'm defintely taking the day and the next day off because as it was, trying to pretend to do my job and keep up with the fics was almost impossible.
I'm still not 100% sure about opening a community, but I can see where it might make life easier.
And again, your use of the lyric was awesome. Did you get enough candy-corn?
By the way, I'd love to see some Wilson/Grace angsty-het. I know a lot of hard-core H/W slashers insist it was never sexual, no matter what House said in "Euphoria," but if I know my Jimmy...

I've never run a comm, so I don't know how in-depth it is or how much time you want to devote to running it. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it'll work.
I'm glad your party went off so well. I'm sorta behind on fic-reading, so will be madly catching up over the next few days and weeks. And that Wilson/Grace is actually almost done, I just have to buckle down and finish it. Of course Jimmy slept with Grace. He wouldn't be Jimmy otherwise.

Thanks for coming and bringing your schmoopy, show-tune loving Wilson with you. (I'm keeping him around the apartment to sing with me.)

Wider posting window, check. Next year we party for seven days starting on Halloween.
I'm thrilled that Bertie came along to help you with the costume and you were able to make a fabulous appearance.
And I gotta say you are so right about watching House during the party itself. And Hugh's Tummy? Best Halloween treat of all!
