  1. There are those moments that make me wonder… Why is google maps putting the dining symbol on a pet shop?  Go for the amazing sensation of goldfish squirming on the way down?

      Given how my Potter fanfic is developing, I’m having to lean in heavily onto google maps, which is why I’m picking up on more of these details.

  3. Top temperature today was 42.3c (108.1f), but the top ‘feels like’ temperature was 50.3c (122.5f).  Woo!

    I’m ready for autumn now, thank you.

      IIRC, Hell is in Michigan :smartass:  I think Australia simply has a HVAC issue, maybe a stuck slider switch… have you tried that extended warranty/service contract?  :)

      Guessing the big fellow mistook the climate controls for the oven dial?  He wants his steak well done.

      Sounds perfect for some outdoor grilling, except you’re also in the oven.

  7. Fell down the Tiktok FF/book binding rabbit hole last night.  SMH.  What is wrong with people?

    1. Desiderius Price

      Getting high-priced lawyers involved is how you get the new rules around Star Trek fan-films (15 minutes max, no episodes, etc...), or the rights holder goes Anne Rice and prohibits all fanfiction with cease & desist orders.  Anybody rich enough to counter with lawsuits is also well off enough to negotiate authorized derivative works, leaving the average fanfic writer high & dry.  Hope those bottom feeders suffer from papercuts, lots and lots of vicious papercuts.

      Been reading up… and there’s authors deleting their stories due to the proverbial game of whack-a-mole, which AO3 makes this easier too with PDF downloading.  AFAICT, the etsy/book-binding is like charging HUNDRED or more bucks for printed/bound copies of particular fanfictions, acting as the publisher.   Yeah, this is pissing the writers off.

      Dragons are fun, and easy to fast-BBQ anything!  :fthrower:

  10. Well, if I wanted crispy squirrel bits, now's the chance, the squirrel must've loved the transformer.

      Short story is hearing the pow and losing power, there was a squirrel in a frozen dive off the power pole.

      Good.  I could be persuaded to stop off for some hotdogs and marshmallows!  :)

  14. Dunno why my mind came up with this quote, it was there when I woke up...still, be good starter for a story.

    Quote

    After 38 years of marriage, I’m proud to say that my wife is still a virgin.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      It’s provocative to say the least.  Maybe the man’s an idiot?  Maybe the man’s saying his wife’s too ugly to fuck?  Maybe she’s refusing his advances?  (And sneakily bopping his sister instead.)  Maybe he’s fitted a chastity belt onto her?  Number of reasons go through my head, which is about as interesting to the fact the mind spat that out yesterday morning as I woke up.

      An inch at most, nothing to worry about, it’ll likely be melted fast enough.

      One page?  What’s the size of a page?  Use columns, and… reduce that font size...everybody should be able to read 1pt fonts! :)

  17. I’m also not terribly fond of having to check my story calendar for full moons.  But in the Rowlingverse, needs must, I guess.  That is unless I want a werewolf pandemic in my story.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      A serious fanfiction requires some level of effort… heck I consult the above even in my originals too.

      For instance, lots of canon characters are very underdeveloped, so you gotta flesh them out into fullness that’s in line with canon (or in line with your premise).  Original characters… I actually have those developed better in my story than some of the canon!

      However, if it’s a short fluff bit...well, you don’t have to work too hard if you’ve got something of Fred’s & George’s backfiring to fill all of Hogwarts up with daffodils.

      I find it useful when… you know, a character’s outside at night, to know about where the moon is (ie before/after moonrise/moonset).  Another tool I’ve used is Stellarium (open source program), good for figuring the constellations/stars in the sky.

      Very useful, TBH… is something like.  https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/usa/portland-or  (change location & date/time for needs.  Glasgow UK should be close enough for Hogwarts.)

  21. When the mind's stumped, spontaneously add in a murder attempt to the story, that’ll spice things up.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Yeah, the “attempt” bit has left the plot bunny.

      And… chasing this rabbit hole, it’s likely going to change into a successful killing (one of the party, because, you know….).

    I worry about these youngings, We’re already on a skeleton crew and two got themselves fired for “the message” Like what message is worth that?

      The youngings did something?  Or management trying to send a message?

  24. I want to wish a happiest of birthdays, to our magnificent @BronxWench 

    May the day be wonderful and full of delight. And here’s to another full circle around the sun. :bday:  :cheers:

    All gifts in the form of shimmering gold and very sparsely clothed pretties that we may have in our possession, especially of the impish and the elvish variety, will be happily accepted. Gold will be kept, but pretties will be returned, unscathed and very exhausted. :thankyou:

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Plenty of 🍀 leprechaun 🪙 gold 🌈 …. oops, it vanished before I could send it.  

      Happy Birthday @BronxWench

      🧙‍♂️ 🧑‍🎄 🎂 :birthday: :yahoo:
