Slashy Nominations 106: Mix It Up

[thefourthvine]

I'm going to be out of town for a few days, and I'm experiencing my usual pre-trip discombobulation as a result. (Actually, I'm mostly wondering why the hell I did this and what I was thinking and how I can avoid ever doing it again. I don't like traveling. Hell, in my ideal universe I wouldn't even have to leave my house.) I'm also doing the

Ooh, you've found one of the few good Stargate crossovers. You'd think it'd be easy, what with the portal to different worlds and all, but no, it would seem not. Come on fandom, take advantage of your canon! Not in a bad way. Unless that's how your tastes run.

(If you've been intrigued by the TS/SG-1 in 'Lovely' there, can I reccommend Actualize This? It's also a TS/SG-1 crossover, with a little of The Invisible Man thrown in, and is much more lighthearted than 'Lovely.' I waxed...long on it over here. )

Wow. It's not just a TS/SG crossover, it's TS/SG/Lovecraft. And a Lovecraft to which I have a special professional connection, at that. Awesome.

[saffronhouse]

A "special professional connection"? What, *what*? You're living in a gambrel-roofed apartment in witch-haunted Arkham while you study dubious and blasted higher mathemics?

Madly curious!

[janet_carter]

No, but I spent two years giving tours of it.

Of course, that's the restoration done in 1948, when it opened as a museum. When Lovecraft saw it, it had shops on the first floor and rented rooms upstairs, but was already being called the Witch House by the entrepreneurial apothecary and antique dealer on the first floor. They had cut a doorway through the chimney and were giving tours of "ye antique witch hearth". It took about 200 years for Salem to get over being ashamed of the witchcraft trials and start marketing them. And now I'll get out of tour guide mode before I tell you about America's very first collectible spoons :)

[saffronhouse]

Oh, that's just extrememly cool. So that's where your vaguely sinister (which I adore) icon comes from, too. You'd think any true Lovecraft fan would have made it to Salem by now, but alas, I still have not.

feathercock
Should I ask, or just run away?

[thefourthvine]

Run. Run, and never look back. Insane asylums are full of strong women who broke when faced with the improbable horror that is feathercock.

(Contrary suggestion: read Lynn's story. Because it's actually good. Just don't think about the existence of feathercock outside of that one story.)

[fanofall]

Okay. (coughs)

I have been extremely patient. But you said you would be back Wednesday. It is now Wednesday. (checks calendar) You have to come back, my dear wombat, because I have to tell you about the Ray and the Fraser.

And the completely insane boss, but that's for e-mail. :-D

I hope you had an uneventful trip. I think you could use a little boredom at this point.

[fanofall]

I KNOW!

I actually found her at one point, but I am beginning to fear that may actually have been a wombat-loss-induced hallucination, because she disappeared again.

*misses too*
