Slashy Nominations 138: Happy Accidents

Mar 06, 2006 08:01

First, an administrative note: About half of my LJ comment notifications are showing up with nothing in them. At all. Except for the name of the person who left it. Which means that unless the comment is in my journal, or I can guess where the comment was left (like, it's from someone whose journal I left a comment in earlier), I have no way of ( Read more... )

Oh my god. You are a genius. Please, please send me hideous bagpipe music. (And, wow. That's not a sentence I ever thought I'd be typing.) Feel free to throw in good bagpipe music if you like, as I'm sure the Neighborhood Brats (there's something in the local water that turns all children to pure annoyance as soon as they reach 13, I swear it; this may be karmic feedback from my own annoying youth) will hate the good stuff just as much.

I have many uses for bagpipe music, actually. A different set of neighbor kids have a garage band. A Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit cover garage band, to be exact. You haven't lived until you've spent every Saturday afternoon listening to a kid with a breaking voice shout: "I did it all for the nookie! The [hideous squeal of tortured guitar] nookie! The [drum machine stops abruptly] nookie! So you can take your cookie and [the rest of the line is obscured by what sounds like every note ever, played all at once on a badly tuned guitar]."

AHAHAHAHA. Oh my GOD, you poor thing.

dzurlady March 6 2006, 19:19:52 UTC

Oh. Oh, *bagpipes*. Yes. That is perfect. If you are uploading some for TFV would you mind sharing it with me? Especially if you upload any good bagpipe music. I have a couple of tracks I am very fond of and would like some more. *hopeful*

If you want entertainment, you need to be in the car with me when I pull up to a stop light next to some Bass-Mobile
*dies* I want to do this *so very much* now.

I totally want to write you transmogrifier fic now. Oh why is my brain broken?

thefourthvine March 6 2006, 09:12:43 UTC

Eeee! Writeitwriteitwriteitwriteitwriteit!

*heals brain*

*looks very hopeful*

I consider the absence of a large body of Scrubs FF in this universe to be the definitive refutation of Pangloss.

Yes, God yes. Bless you, TFV, and blessings upon your entire house. The lack of Scrubs slash (hell, I ship JD/Dr Cox, but I'd totally learn to live with JD/Turk if I had to!) is a constant source of misery and woe in these here parts (take 'parts' to mean whatever you like), and I am on a holy mission to bring the Joy and Glory of Scrubs Fandom unto all and sundry. Mind, it's a slow mission. May I also recommend My Big Breakup by Sabine and My Life In Tights by not jenny, if these haven't yet crossed your path?

thefourthvine March 6 2006, 10:42:41 UTC

*embraces you*

Another lonely sister/brother/sibling in Scrubs fandom! We must stick together, we few, we proud, we connoisseurs of J.D.'s brain.

May I also recommend My Big Breakup by Sabine and My Life In Tights by not jenny, if these haven't yet crossed your path?

Sadly, I already knew those. My Big Breakup is actually the story that got me into this fandom; when I read that, I didn't even know what Scrubs was. And My Life in Tights is wonderful; I plan to rec it nearer to Christmas time. (Although I may not be able to resist doing it earlier. Is there ever a bad time for J.D. in tights?) I've also recommended My Claustrophobia and My Letter 'O' - I'm assuming you've read those? - which are great stories. And I have four more waiting to be rec'd, and that's all the Scrubs FF I know of, basically.

*sighs*

Still, they're great stories. This fandom must have the best ever good story:total stories ratio.

*cheers up again*

In reference to your blank comment emails, would the Most Recent Comments page be of help to you? I know a lot of people don't find it all that convenient. But I figured it was worth suggesting.

thefourthvine March 6 2006, 10:48:26 UTC

It's definitely better than no comments; at least I can be sure I'm getting all of the ones people leave on this journal. I just wish there was a way to configure it to show responses to my comments in other people's journals.

*pokes it*

*pokes it some more*

overly_shy March 6 2006, 10:59:16 UTC

Mm, yes. That does seem insufficient. My problem with LJ today is that my RL journal's flist refuses (except once) to show any entries from later than 8 am today.

*pokes LJ very firmly indeed*

claire March 6 2006, 18:19:09 UTC

well, at the bottom of the page at http://www.livejournal.com/tools/recent_comments.bml#posted it will at least tell you where you commented so you can check for replies.

OMG you're right.

Rodney is looking around John's room; as John searches for the DVD he borrowed, Rodney is searching for John's personal item. "You brought a poster of Johnny Cash as your personal item?"

"Nah. That was Sumner's."

"A guitar, then? Oh, god. I bet you learned like four chords and got laid on the strength of them for the next eight years."

"Brought that back on the Daedalus."

"I notice you're not arguing about the chords, though." Rodney looks around one more time and his eyes settle on John's footlocker. Which proves to be locked. But there's 20 chocolate bars waiting for the scientist who can get definitive evidence of John's personal item - turned out he borrowed the Hail Mary recording from Sgt. Daniels, which kept the scientists from picking up his trail for months. Rodney thinks of chocolate - oh, god, Snickers - and starts to pick the lock.

John pauses in his search to look fondly at his guitar. "I feel no need to convince you of my musical prowess, Rodney." Anyway, Rodney's wrong; John learned six chords ( ... )

janet_carter March 6 2006, 11:49:51 UTC

Hee! Rodney is so Susie (Suzy? Suzy gets more Google results, and Amazon has Suzy, but Wikipedia and the BBC say Susie, so I'll stick with that. Um. Not that I just spent 5 minutes researching the question) Derkins. But with lock-picking skills!

Rodney, his back and head still stinging from hitting the floor, actually looks at John for the first time since he found the tiger. And Whoa. John's eyes are narrowed and dark, his arms are folded - the animal is protectively held inside his arms, Rodney notices - and his body is unnaturally, tensely still. "Rodney," John says, his voice flat and level, "Just. Leave. Him. Alone."

Rodney hasn't ever seen John this upset, not ever. He looks at the tiger again - old, ratty, frayed and coming apart along the tail and an ear, and his middle is all compressed; after a second, Rodney realizes that that's because someone held him there a lot, probably for years. Rodney looks at John again, tries to find something to say ( ... )
