In Soviet Russia, moonwands cycle you!

I don't think anyone will quite understand how much respect for myself I have lost today. But I'll start from the beginning.

So copperbadge posted in his journal about shitty fantasy novels. metallumai and meran_flash got into and interesting discussion with him, culminating in the ultimate fantasy novel title: Fire of the Crystal Elven Magesword of Dragonstar: The Pegasus

I'm not sure if you have too much free time or not enough...

Yay the café! Great job on this, it amuses me greatly :D

[iambickilometer]

I think I can safely say not enough. XD Or maybe, I did have too much, but it's over now.

I love the café. So much insanity happens there. And thanks. :D

LOL Rodney and Jack with long hair. XD
I don't think that look is good for them....but your art is so gorgeous! I like the sketchiness and Jack's hands.

and don't feel bad about the fantasy thing because well...we all know the problems in this genre...particularly with dragons, magicians and etc. I don't think you have that problem.

AND LOL. WRAITH + WEEVIL= EPIK BAD FIC!. PLEASE DO WRITE. AND ELF ATLANTIS MAKES ME GIGGLE. though Rodney needs to keep his hair short, 'cause his face shape is just not suited to that...maybe John

[iambickilometer]

God that look is terrible for Rodney. It's disconcerting on Jack, but not necessarily bad... it's just frightening on Rodney.
Thanks, though. I totally used a reference for Jack's hands. I am terrible at them otherwise.

It's more the fact that I actually seriously expanded upon the idea that shames me. And that I enjoyed it. XD; But I suppose you're right.

I'm not gonna write a full-on epic AU. But I'll write snippets and suchlike. (Rodney cuts his hair himself, just so no one will argue with him about it.)

[erase_away]

Well I can't draw at all. SO BE PROUD! YOU ARE BETTER AT ART THAN 90% of the population.

Haha. I think crack is always justified. I ENJOY IT WAY TOO MUCH. XD Besides it's crack. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BAD AND ENJOYABLE.

snippets will be good. Epic Au might be too much, it might kill you internally XDDD

[iambickilometer]

I do believe you exaggerate, my friend.

Well, I'm glad I'm the only one judging myself too harshly, then. :D You, like everyone else here, are of course right.

I don't think I could handle another epic AU.

[thaddeusfavour]

You mad, mad person you. This is pretty wonderful. I'll be happy to join the cheering section and urge you on to write more. :P

[iambickilometer]

I am so completely insane I'm coming out the other side. But I'm glad to amuse to masses.

There's a bit with Ianto J'Ones and L'iisa, the woman of Sibur, which I'll hopefully finish tonight. So yes, writing more. I did mention insanity, yes?

[thaddeusfavour]

Don't let it worry you. You are but one lunatic among many!

Personally, if I can either find an illustrator or manage some stick figures, I plan to do a few comic strips illustrating the adventures of Dalek Con and Dalek Suck. (I revel in the madness!)

[iambickilometer]

That's why I love the Cafe so very, very much. :D

OH, PLEASE DO IT. Daleks Con and Suck really need perpetuation.

[alexiel_neesan]

A row of applause for you.

No, seriously. It's great (I might need some bleach for my brain after the longhaired elves though)

And, hum, this will probably not help saving you from yourself at all but, hum, people will read it if you write more. People will definitively read it.

[iambickilometer]

Hey, thanks! XD And that's cool; I need brain-bleach too. Needed. Still need, actually.

I think I'm doomed. Too many people have approved of my actions; I'm going to start thinking I'm not doing anything wrong before long. Certainly I have plans to write more already.

You lot at the Cafe are a terrible influence.

[fenrischained]

You win. Truly. You and Sam both.

[iambickilometer]

XD Thanks. It's good to be appreciated.
