As promised, now breakfast is over (shallot and zucchini omlette with feta cheese and whole wheat toast!) I bring you a post about scrabble AUs.

You see, what happens is, toft_froggy and I play scrabble every so often, and our favourite game is to make up an SGA AU based on the words that we play in scrabble. So actually her 19th-century Dutch amateur ( Read more... )

I love you more than words can express.

also, how can DOUCE be accepted. Is that an English word? See, this is why I suck at Scrabble in English! I thought that was FRENCH. I'd never have played in on an English board.

(ps, it makes me want to play you guys, though.)

you should totally play us! or, like, me at least, I can't speak for toft.

Douce is an english word, but it's an old-fashioned one that you don't see very often (I've read it in 18th or 19th century lit). But it means the same as in French, and has the same root (you know, how English took all those words from French and stuff! Or had all those words pressed into it by the French overlords, whatever.)

That's what *I* said. I haven't read as much 19th century lit as thingswithwings, though, so I have to bow to her knowledge on this subject. But I think it's totally unfair that the board takes 'douce' and not 'marian'. Prejudice against medievalists.

Also, we should totally play with you. That would be great!

I love this, but my favorite passage is:

But the Flayer has a fatal flaw, about which I will not go into detail,

Hahaha! I'm using that in my next story.

haha awesome! please do. it's an excellent strategy for glossing over the parts you haven't quite thought through. NO ONE WILL NOTICE.
