Never trust anyone who hasn't brought a book with them.

OKAY SO YOU GUYS WITH THE MONEYS I NOW HAVE (BECAUSE I HAVE MONEY NOW YOU KNOW) I WENT OUT AND DID SOME STUFF.

This stuff including the buying of:

Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid ('Lemony Snicket')
Reaper Man (Terry Pratchett)
Guards! Guards! (Terry Pratchett)
Beast Wars Season 2 (NOW I CAN WATCH CODE OF HERO AND TRANSMUTATE WHENEVER I'M FEELING TOO HAPPY)

The ordering of:

A Darkling Plain (Philip Reeve) It should arrive in about two weeks! If any of you yahoos so much as think a spoiler in my general direction, I will find you when you sleep.

And the watching of:

PotC:At World's End (Which is probably the most ridiculous movie I've seen in a while, but who the hell cares, man? Pirates! Also it was awesomely over-the-top and er, why am I finding everybody in it hot now?)

I am kinda missing my lj friends! Fast food wage slaving is crushing my soul and also making me peculiarly productive. My giant head TV series concept did not need a soundtrack, but it has gained one. And an intro. And some episode premises.

BASICALLY:

"Entertaining a notion, like entertaining a baby cousin or entertaining a pack of hyenas, is a dangerous thing to refuse to do. If you refuse to entertain a baby cousin, the baby cousin may get bored and entertain itself by wandering off and falling down a well. If you refuse to entertain a pack of hyenas, they may become restless and entertain themselves by devouring you. But if you refuse to entertain a notion - which is just a fancy way of saying that you refuse to think about a certain idea - you may have to be much braver than someone who is merely facing some bloodthirsty animals, or some parents who are upset to find their little darling at the bottom of a well, because nobody knows what an idea will do when it goes off to entertain itself." - Lemony Snicket, Horseradish

To that end, it is time again for the one-sentence meme.

Give me a character (or a pairing, or a non-romantic relationship, or a theory, or anything you like, really) from a fandom (er, preferably one that I'm familiar with. Crossover if you must), and a theme to go with it, and I'll write you a one sentence fic. Repeat as many times as you like.

If the meme's still open, I'd love some Hester and Shrike, with the theme of... mirrors? (Shut up it is so a theme.) Or hunting.

Or! I'd love some Tom and Hester, spending money.

Also I am very curious about your giant head TV series.

My giant head TV series is the one that I will make when I'm rich and famous and the networks can afford to indulge me. It will be traditonally animated and about several things, most notably a large city that seems sort of alive, another, smaller city that actually is alive, a woman who was kicked out of the local Police equivalent but can't let go of her code, her genius younger sister who builds things that explode and suffers the psychological effects, the World's Lamest Thief, and a dude who seems to hang around for no damn reason except to beat things and loom mysteriously.

They would spend the first season chasing the thief, the second being chased by the Police Force, and the third fending off a war, and all three bantering. Often, there would be implausible fights.

Sentence!

Hester remained commendably calm when she asked him whether he really had spent their last few coins, and Tom later wished he had given her a better answer than "Um."

I'll do the other one when I've actully had some sleep. Whoo.

Your TV series sounds so, so, so awesome. ALSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SENTENCE NOW PLEASE WRITE ME HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF FANFIC ABOUT TOM AND HESTER ON THE BIRD ROADS????

Hester and Shrike: Mirrors

[nano_moose]

Shrike's hands were deft when he pulled the splinters from her fingers, and he never asked where they had come from.
