Tag Story update...

[tabaqui]

While we were bemoaning our poverty or the screwy schedules that kept us from attending Writercon, a group of us got together for some chats.
writernoncon member margarks tossed out a lovely plot bunny for a tag-story and invited us to play in that_night_tag. This is the story so far, and while it's not an open-tag story, it'd be great if anybody wanted to read and comment. There's no fb thread, so maybe...fb the author off their LJ?

*We still have some kinks to work out*

Anyway - read and enjoy!
One Memorable Night

*off to natter at the other players to tag!!*

Kewl! ::friended already::

Lookin' good! I can so see Xander making a living off comic books/graphic novels. ;o)

[tabaqui]

Yay! I'll have to pester margarks to make a fb thread! OR something.

Glad you liked it! And why do i feel like i haven't heard from you in AGES? You doin' okay?

XAnder the comic-book guy just seems so RIGHT...
Man, i need an OTP icon....

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

I'm doing, okay, thanks. :o)

Just haven't been able to write, which is a pain, seeing as I have a challenge deadline coming up at the end of the month and I haven't actually written a single word of the fic yet. Haven't even got a clear idea of where it's going, just the challenge and the first line. I'll probably write the whole damn thing on Monday/Tuesday. I live for pressure. ;o)

Oh, and then there's the fact that I've been a little distracted - reading Repo all the way through again. I'd held off reading the last 20 or so chapters because having to wait every week was killing me with Teh Angst! Hee! So, intense hours at the computer reading and reading and reading and skimming my flist and reading some more. Damn, but that's one amazing story!

And I should be going to bed soon so I can get up and write, but I'm now rereading Yin's Long Time Gone, and can't stop until I'm finished. (Obsessive, moi? ;o)

Was I seeing things earlier or did you mention updated Credence soon?
::bounces hopefully::

[tabaqui]

Oh gods, i have a fic to write by sunday!!! Have nothing done!!!
Ack!!!
*flails*
I hate not being able to write when you want to.
And yeah, Repo almost over...crazy... I'm not sure if i can re-read it or not, it's so sad in places.

Hehehe. Obsessive is GOOD.
And...glad you're doing okay....
And yes, more Credence soon, as soon as i beat this S/X pr0nathon fic into submission.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Maybe once it's finished and they're all happy and safe you'll be able to reread it. I only went through one box of tissues this time, because even though it was really really sad in places, I *knew* it was going to get better. Hee!
::is a sap::
~~~encouraging pornathon vibes~~~ ;o)

And it's the weekend! More Changes!
::bounces and squees in anticipation::
Hee! *smooch*

[tabaqui]

Yeah...could be. Some of the stuff - when they're fighting, and when it's going through graphic torture descriptions, well... once is enough. I'm bloody-minded enough *in the 'i can imagine gore sense* that those scenes kinda creep me out. There's a REASON i don't watch Holocaust stories.

*basks in pornathon vibes*
I have a bunny!! Thank gods!!
*hugs you*
Waiting for my 'Changes' chapter to come back from Edi...
*bounce*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

I'm bloody-minded enough *in the 'i can imagine gore sense* that those scenes kinda creep me out.

Yeah, me too, but I'm wierd in that I like the creeped out feeling.

I have a bunny!! Thank gods!!
*hugs you*

Yay!
::feeds the bunny::
::hugs you back::

Changes!
Wheeeeeee!

[tabaqui]

Hee.
I just....i dunno. I'm a little too close to it, or something. I guess -with the holocaust thing or serial killer thing it's the fact that someone actually already lived through that, and by filming it and watching it you're...keeping the pain alive? I dunno. I just don't like it.
'Fake' blood and gore, like a Freddy movie, doesn't bother me at all.

Heee.
Bunnies are getting FAT.

:: tucks her Mexican-American side back and lets the black out ::

Y'all best to keep on updatin' that_night_tag.
I'd like to be readin' suhmore of it real soon like.

:: promptly reverts back to Mexican-American ::

Because, really, despite the multi-layered ethnic back ground I couldn't be black if my life depended on it. There's a white girl trapped inside me, I just know it. But seriously, I really enjoyed that thread. I hope it continues soon, I'll be watching.

[tabaqui]

Hee.
YOu'll have to go to roxymissrose for lessons.

Thanks! I'm hoping it'll be tagged soon myself - i like the initial story, and the bit i wrote today was fun, so...
I hope somebody'll run with it!

Nice icon... :)

[cityphonelines.livejournal.com]

Hee, such a good pose for Xander, it had to be used twice. Actually, I can't take credit for mine; literati made it.

[tabaqui]

I made mine but it's not uber fancy.
And yeah, he just looks so demented there! Gleefully malicious.
I love it.

[cityphonelines.livejournal.com]

I made mine but it's not uber fancy

I know what you mean, every time I make an icon I'm proud of I see one floating around that shows me what a novice I am. But still, I pluck along, my PSP8 trial's gonna run out and I'll have to install PS for lack of another program. I'm very afraid of PS, it seems hard. Eh.

[tabaqui]

Well, Photosheep is complicated, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. I use Photosheep...
What version do you have?

[cityphonelines.livejournal.com]

It's PS8 and Image Ready. Actually I'm borrowing it from some guy that offered to show me how to use it, but that would involve me hanging out with him for an extended amount of time and...I just don't want to do that ; )

[tabaqui]

BWAaahahha.
Yeah, do i get THAT.
Well, you can ask me anything, i'll try to answer. The layers thing is fun.
The biggest thing is finding stuff, since they change where they put things from edition to edition. Stupid, but there it is.

[vampsarecool.livejournal.com]

Ok I hurt you if you don't finish this. *cough*followyou_rpg*cough*shameless_rpg*cough*. Oh sorry Damn Cold. *sniff* Anyhoo there will be a wet noodle in your future girly and we both know the pain that will cause. :P

[tabaqui]

*whimper*
Okay! Okay!! I'll write more! Or somebody will. I hope.
We've got a small pool of writers, so it might take a little time...
Glad you liked it!

[bloodroses27.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I love that! I'm really looking forward to reading more. I loved that he thought about using his credit card just so the kid would see his name. Wonderful touch.

[tabaqui]

Thank you!!
I hope everybody tags soon - i think this could be fun!

[anelith.livejournal.com]

This is great! This will be fun to read! But that's not why I'm scurrying to write you a comment! Yes, I know I sound demented, but my husband just showed me a web site where they listed the top 100 banned books and I finally found the name of that Zilpha Keatley Snyder book that I thought was the one you'd found but wasn't... Do you remember? The one with the poltergeist? It's number 98 on the list and it's The Headless Cupid. Yay, now that annoying itch in the back of my head is *gone*! And why on EARTH would it be banned, I can't remember a single thing about it that anyone would find objectionable... maybe just the idea of the supernatural, although I thought that in the end the poltergeist was revealed to be something non-supernatural.

It was really interesting to go down the list and try to figure out why each book would be banned. Some of course were blindingly obvious, like "The New Joy of Gay Sex."

[tabaqui]

Really, how amazingly odd!
*reels*
The idea of BANNING books just... I mean, insanity!
Sheesh.

*bounce*
I hate that 'itch' too. :)

[yourlibrarian]

Intriguing start to the story -- I hope it continues!

[tabaqui]

Me too!!
:)
Thank you!
