I want to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday, specifically the people who wrote a little something with me in mind:

• bethbethbeth wrote a very entertaining post in which God was revealed to be a Sports Night slasher. I want my own Metatron.
• kixxa delivered some beautifully sad John/Chiana called There Once Were Two People. Awww. *sniff*
• pearl_o wrote a River

I'm listed on hlbnfdeathmatch. I can only assume they needed filler?

Is there any fandom that doesn't have one of those idiotic "BNF deathmatch" communities? (Okay, I admit I haven't yet seen one for Batman or DC fandom...) I mean, really it's an outright fad by now. Obviously in general these communities' requirements for "BNF" are very low. I mean for example I didn't even know all of the people matched in the SV community and I've been in SV fandom since early season one.

Oh, I'm sure there are. Or if there aren't, I'm totally unaware of the deathmatch communities. Heh.

I think they're, well, too sloppily-done to be good parody or much worth reading. And I would say that people really do have too much time on their hands, except that if they did, I would hope they'd be a little more witty and entertaining when they attempt to skewer something.

Of course, the lameness of the communities makes them very easy to ignore. I'm vaguely amused that I finally made one of the communities, but I certainly won't be checking it obsessively for the results of my "match".

Okay, that deathmatch thing? I've seen a lot of weirdass things in fandom. That's definitely in the top 25. And not in a good weird way. Just a "what are they smoking, and please someone take the pipe away, okay?" kind of way.

::scratches head in bafflement::

Hope it warms up and you feel better soon. I have no fic, porny or otherwise, for your birthday. But I am writing, so ...

[shrift]

Thus far, I've seen the deathmatch thing in Smallville, Harry Potter, and now, apparently, Highlander. I agree with you that it's weirdass. I'm not quite sure what prompted it, and I don't think I'll be asking.

I think it's going to be cold and snowy all week. Blah. In fact, the sky just whited-out and I can no longer see the landscape outside my office window.

But woot! on you writing. I seem to be making a small amount of progress on a few things, myself.

Am I intimidating?

Duck killer...

[shrift]

True. But then again, how many members of the anatidae family have livejournal accounts?

[traveller]

i forgot your birthday AND still haven't finished your spyporn.

let the beatings commence.

many belated hearts and hugs, mmkay?

[shrift]

Dude, beating you would take effort, and I am all about the conservation of energy when it's this bloody cold outside.

But hey, if you ever DO finish that spyporn, I will be incredibly pleased.

many belated hearts and hugs, mmkay?

Indeed. And I'll cross my fingers for you on the part-time job front.

[traveller]

it's ALREADY really hard to write men fucking - what with the pronoun confusion - and then add the fact that both men are called "Alex"?

*stabs self*

And I'll cross my fingers for you on the part-time job front

ooh, yes, sankoo. <3

[shrift]

and then add the fact that both men are called "Alex"?

Oh. Well, that is a very good point. Perhaps, er, you can get by with calling Krycek by his last name?

[beeej]

Hey, happy (belated) birthday!

[shrift]

Thank you kindly!

You are mighty shrift, wearer of bustiers, writer of slash, drinker of all things caffeinated and alcoholic. From your vantage point on high, you smite their measly attempts at pleasing you.

*snerk*

OMG! Now I have this visual of Shrift draped across a throne in a leather bustier and pants and black cape, her one arm hanging over the side of the throne holding a cut crystal glass full of some amber colored liquor, the other hand waving away the half naked men standing in front of her saying "Go, you do not please me." then stops and picks out two men in the crowd. "You two. Down here. entertain me." then sits back and watches the fun unfold before her.

[fourteenlines]

*frowns*

Isn't that how it works?

[shrift]

You know what would be really neat? If one of those queued-up half-naked men would go wash my car. THAT would be neat...
