Memed from lost_spook and justice_turtle: In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick-or-treat" to this post and...well, you know the drill. Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy (pics of fave actors or pairings, one sentence fics, graphics, a few words why I'm glad to have you on my flist, etc. etc.). The more "houses

Trick-or-treat! XD

This is tricky, because I don't know you well enough to know what would be to your taste. But since your interests include G K Chesterton, here is my attempt at a pastiche.

Oh, and since you were kind enough to rec Macbeth, I presume you're also aware of the commentary post?

TTR:MACBETH COMMENTARY! *flailyhands* ALL OF THE AWESOME FOREVER. :D

(I actually had not seen the commentary - but I had seen the GKC pastiche. And then forgotten all about it. XP)

Thank you!

Have a 'Dark Carnival' themed drabble. Sunset ought to be at 4:36pm or thereabouts...

For most of the preceding hour, the sun had been hidden from view behind the heavy clouds covering the Carnival. Now it slid below the horizon, hardly marked by anyone. Here and there among the jumble of tents and caravans, lanterns were flickering, their already feeble light attenuated by blotched, grimy glass. At irregular intervals, lightning stabbed down from the clouds at a withered patch of grass near the centre of the Carnival, like a beast's savage attempts to dislodge a parasite, disorientating anybody who was looking that way for a few seconds.

And those seconds were all Varne needed.

Trick or treat!

From a 'Storytime' I don't think I'll ever write:

Jacobi Master / Archdeacon:

Hmm. It would seem that the Bishop's chaplain is of the Low Church
tendency. We need a counterbalance. A man of high churchmanship. In fact,
one might almost go so far as to say... high camp.

[A church in Oxford. Every flat surface is covered with multicoloured
candles. Incense billows around like dry ice at a pop concert. Mozart's
"Gloria" plays. Through the clouds enters a gorgeously-dressed figure, who
is somehow managing to wear, at the same time, a chasuble, a cope, a
humeral veil, and a biretta, all in different colours.]

Roberts Master:

I always drezz for every occasion.

[Back to Plumstead rectory.]

Jacobi Master / Archdeacon:

Yes... I think Arabin might be the man.

[lost_spook]

Ha haha... I am always pleased to see the Movie Master dressing for the occasion, but it took a long minute before the penny dropped as to what story it was. (And, yeah, that would be just a bit epic for Storytime!)

Very nice. :-)

It's a pity, in a way, that I won't get to write the Simm Master delivering Mr Slope's sermon. I think he'd appear in the pulpit in his hoodie, with glove puppets on his hands called Tipsy and Topsy.
