Modly things!!

1) I floated the idea of a secret santa a while ago, but I'd like greater input. Based of exchanges I used to run for another comm, the idea would be this:
-I make a post. HELLO!
-You comment to the post (readers, players, etc.) and say "OOOH, I LOVE THESE THREE CHARACTERS/SHIPS! Also here is how to contact me!" - These would be screened so only I, OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL or whatever could see them.
-I whip out a random number generator and give you an assignment.
-You then have x amount of time to write/draw/create a fannish thing for your santee.
-Then you send it to me and I make a post all "HEY GUYZ LOOKIT!" and you go "ooooh" and "aaaah".
-I was thinking a late secret santa because I'm sure a lot of you are involved in other exchanges and a due date in January might make it easier to participate?

2) A reader in Kitty's last post asked for a round-up of events of the HSAUs. I tried to do this but got about 1/100th of the way through the first before going "HOLY FUCK THERE ARE NINE OF THESE!?!?" and killing myself. It got better. So. I would like a volunteer (or 9) who might be willing to just summarize the MAJOR events of each installment. If you want to remain anon, you can email me at laurendf at gmail. I am discreet and disease free.

3) Speaking of the HSAU: Our guys are very close to graduation right now. Here is the big question: Do we want to make this into a Starfleet Academy AU?
The other option would be ending and either starting a BRAND NEW HSAU! or a BRAND NEW SUPERGAME!

4) Hay readers, do you want a post of your own to talk to each other and go "OMG THEY DID WHUUUUUUUT? GURL, I NEVER THOUGHT THEY'D TURN MARLA INTO A FICUS WITH A BAD ATTITUDE!" or just squee over how cute Bones/Kirk and Chekov/Sulu and Giotto/McKenna are being?

5) There is no five. Go about your business.

Well I'm allergic to pecan so I'd rather it if we had cherry with a sprinkling of sugar. I also like marshmallows with hot chocolate.

[emmypenny.livejournal.com]

1. That sounds perfectly acceptable as is.
2. I am too frightened to impart upon this task, however good for you for being disease free.
3. I vote for a Starfleet Academy AU.
4. I am not a reader, so my opinion does not matter but I think they deserve one.
5. JE REFUSE.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

OH JOHN CHO. DANCING =/= SKIING.

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

4) Well, hello!

[kinkme.livejournal.com]

1) If you deadline me, you will regret it. I swear to god. But if everyone's doing it...

2) Can't we just say "angst occurs in various new and exciting ways?" :P Actually, I'd be up for doing one.

3) Brand new HSAU makes me ;___; just because we'd all shiftily ship what we've been shipping anyway. And I think it's something about a HSAU which captured the hearts and crazy, crazy minds of the RPers. The mini games are fun, but they won't drag on as long, which makes me saaad. I vote for SAAU.

4) I deny the idea anyone reads this shit.

5) FINE I WILL.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

1) It could be a soft deadline? Like "GET IT IN! JANUARY 6!" And then it's 1/6 (or 6/1 for you) and I go "J/K HAVE AN EXTRA WEEK!"

2) Hooray! I assign you #1.

3) What do we do when we finish Starfleet Academy?

4) APPARENTLY THEY DO AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

5) Good.

[kinkme.livejournal.com]

1) That will happen. So often. D: Uhhhh, as long as it isn't a *big* piece, I should be cool wiv' dat.

2) BUGGER. Ugh, that one's such an arse. Yeah, ok, so, what, a summary of the HSAU? I can do zhat.

3) GET IN THE SPACE HOUSE AND GO TO BAJOR, DUH.

4) IT FRIGHTENS ME.

5) K.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

3) We go out into space with the kiddies and watch them have angsty adventures out there! Alternately, after six "years" we have finally grown bored of following these guys around. OR ALTERNATELY WE DO THE NEXT GENNERS WHEN THEY GET TO HS WITH GUEST APPEARANCES BY THE TOSERS.

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

I... I... I read! And it's fun! And I like it! And all of you scare/inspire/humor me!

[kinkme.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD A READER.

I am literally floored.

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

... *feels awkward*

I comment sometimes!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

I think what Kink (and others) is try to say is "We write thousands of comments worth of fluff and angst and pron and we're really flattered and a little shocked that people have the patience to read them."

It's easy to forget that there are people out there who aren't me and Bubbles and Kitty and Kink and Emmy and Sav and Pixy. But we love you for it!

[theoreticalpixy.livejournal.com]

This is why you're the mod. You say these things better than we do.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

Also I'm a ninja.

[theoreticalpixy.livejournal.com]

Yes., yes you are. You are a most awesome ninja mod indeed.

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

Well thank you, ninja!mod. I'm home sick today and tomorrow, which of course means "catch up on HS!AU"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

Well boo to feeling sick, but yay to hanging out with us crazies!

(I'll be sick for you if you go to work for me?)

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

*points* What you said.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

I want to do the Academy years! Just so Tony can have to teach these guys again and be all "oh yeah, that's why I left" and because then our younger students can go through junior-senior years and be awesome.

Remember, Saved By the Bell might have sucked when they went to college, but Boy Meets World didn't. So it all depends on how awesome the writers are. :)

[theoreticalpixy.livejournal.com]

1. Yes please. January deadline sounds good.

2. I'd be up for doing a section. May I have #2?

3. I'm torn. On one hand I feel like we should let it end when they graduate and have it all wrapped up and on the other fuck that, I love this game let's make it never end. Um. I'd prefer SFAcademyAU I think. I don't really want another hsau, or if so not until after a decent length break. I'd just start playing this one again...and I will might have problems letting Pike go.

4. I hope they want a post because I would *love* to see people's responses to this madness

5. YES THERE IS I CAN SEE IT.

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

1. Yes to all of the above! I'd love to participate, even though I am just a lowly reader (=

2. ...and as that reader, I thank any and all volunteers in advance!

3. YES! SFA AU!

4. I generally just comment on the actual RP as it's happening, you know? But I feel like that disrupts the flow of y'all doing your thing. So maybe a post could be fun so I, as all 1 of the readers, can talk... to myself...

5. I DO READ! PROMISE!

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

4) Apparently there are four of you! So you can talk quietly amongst yourselves.

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! Maybe we'll all emerge from our shadowy lurky lurkdoms and unite!

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

You could always join in, if you like. We're always happy to have people join us, and I'll be glad to help you find a character you'd enjoy playing. (Wanna play an EAer? No one's picked up Walking Bear! Wanna GP? Spinelli's free! Want someone for SFA? Landers is waiting for YOU!)

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I so love reading! I'm also terrified of the shenanigans that happen up in here, so we'll see -- maybe I'll jump in tomorrow

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

Oh, I look forward to it! If you need help developing your character or picking someone for them to talk to, my LJ is always open!

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! &hearts

[anayra-hirialen.livejournal.com]

Well, your comment on the last post dragged me out of lurkerdom... :D

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

WAHOO! Lurking lurkers of lurkdom unite!

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

4) I say do a reader post just so we can actually meet these guys and tell them how chuffed we are that they exist.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

You mean how SHOT GUN we are? ;)

[anayra-hirialen.livejournal.com]

PLEASE PLEASE A READER POST AND A SFAU

/is crazy reader

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

SFAU LOOKS A LOT LIKE STFU. JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING.

[theoreticalpixy.livejournal.com]

CONSIDERING OUR COMM IS 'STD' I FEEL THAT IS FITTING. WE DON'T ACRONYM WELL.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

True story: we are STD because rocketship_underroos was too long.

[theoreticalpixy.livejournal.com]

I am glad it was too long. I get much joy out of being STD.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

If it was taken, I was going to go for "Rockaroos"

[theoreticalpixy.livejournal.com]

That is beauteous.

[anayra-hirialen.livejournal.com]

It does, doesn't it? Whoops.

[ladydeluna.livejournal.com]

Holla! ... I read. And I would use a reader post.

(seriously, this takes up way too much of my time just READING- I cannot imagine also writing.)

[theoreticalpixy.livejournal.com]

Welcome dear reader! :D

ngl I don't procrastinate anymore: I STD. It's def. time consuming.

[ladydeluna.livejournal.com]

Well, now I do homework AND read STD simultaneously. Which is not all that productive either. Example: as I am typing this I've just spent an hour on five math problems.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

We could be more reader friendly..

Sender: Chekov, Pavel
Recipient: Sulu, Hikaru

I love you.

The square root of 9 is 3.

[ladydeluna.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I sounded ungrateful? I AM NOT. NEVER CHANGE. GIVE ME PAGES UPON PAGES TO READ.

Sender: Sulu, Hikaru
Recipient: Chekov, Pavel

I love you too.

(Incidentally, how do I verify that the function satisfies the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval and find all numbers 'c' that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem for e^-2x [0, 3]?)

[anayra-hirialen.livejournal.com]

This is why I'm kinda glad I discovered STD (insert childish giggles) post-end-of-school-FOREVER-exams (aka the HSC in my part of the world).

[hsavinien.livejournal.com]

1. As long as it can wait until after finals, sure. Should be fine.
2. Can probably tackle one, but again, after finals and travel home (i.e. after the 12th).
3. Academy!

[aandtsmum.livejournal.com]

I read religiously but have to hold back from being up to date, or I get frustrated and refresh like crazy.

If there was a readers' post it would descend into

Sulu: Ask it if it's seen mine!!

readers: best post ever, sporfle.

so it gets my vote.
