can you tell them i'm not posting  anymore?  i will still read more than i should, but i was prophetic when i said, lo  these many months ago, that if i started posting in lj i wasn't going to get any work done.

also, there are other people who post anonymously now and i don't want  there to be any confusion about who is me and who is not

*senses her question prompted this*

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

*senses you are dead right*

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

*feels stupid and makes sad face :-(*

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

no no no! she hadn't been posting for a while, and didn't want sounis to think she doesn't love the comm anymore b/c she's not replying to anyone.

kudos to you for you getting her to send a message!

[willow-41z.livejournal.com]

Ha.

You have absolutely no reason to feel stupid and make a sad face.

If you think that was bad, read this (http://community.livejournal.com/sounis/111054.html)...

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

I know its not my fault. And I see no reason to find that stupid! I agree with most of your ideas. I just finished a rather shapeless hat that could definitly be called "a mauvish shade of pinky russet." I'm just happy that she once left a comment to me- I've now used lj to communicate with a a couple of my other favorite authors.

*wonders what j.k. rowlings screename would be*

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

No, no, no beatlelove927. You are looking at this completely backwards. If Megan isn't posting, it means that she is writing. Surely that is good news.

Or, conversely, we could look at it as Megan never posting and all your fault. But let's stick with number 1 for now...

[appellations.livejournal.com]

she could still be knitting. I mean, winter's coming...

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

oh man, rain - don't go giving her ideas! we want the next book to get written!

... although some nice reprobate socks, in maybe a mauvey shade of russett, would be rather fetching.

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

In 3 years she'll publish an eagerly anticipated book about shades of yarn entitled "My Adventures With a Mauvish Shade of Pinky Russet" , and I will laugh, it being all my fault Megan lost her intrest in the Queens Thief universe.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

And we will know EXACTLY who to blame. Especially when the yarn book is dedicated to you. :P

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

"To Beatle, for showing me that it was useless to try to please people like Checkers and Willow."

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Ooh, burn!

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

You retire chagrined from the field of contest.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

:D

But someday I just might stick a sharp knife into your arrogance and give it a good twist. And if you happen to have your own navy--watch out.

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

Tell you what, I'll sell you some cannon, cheap. Good, strong iron ones. Transportation thrown in.

*steals freshly polished halo and hides in hair*

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

oh, excellent!

=D

*applauds*

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

*bows* Thank you, thank you very much. Someday someones going to want a referal for a snarky fic, and I will link them here.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

You might as well sell the cannon as you will have no ships to mount them on once your navy is at the bottom of the harbor. Not planning on marching your troops up through the...

*goes to look in the books and takes an incredibly long time to find the name good god where is it? oh yeah*

...forest on Mount Irkes, are you?

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

I have a cart. You know, a box on wheels, pulled by a horse?

*will now sing like an angel whenever sees Checkers in honor of poor Ornon*

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

You and Agape can sing together!

*hops in cart*

*baas at Ornon*

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

Your horse follows mine. You're not going ANYWHERE! Agape is much to kind to mock little Ornon in such a way.

Is this ever going to stop?

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Apparently not. It only gets more inane. Or insane. :)

*sings I Will Follow You, very poorly*

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

Im too tired to look up a cutting response, so I will do away with sutleties. You smell funny.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

(How on earth did you know that? After standing in the driving rain for 20 minutes this morning while on "crowd control" duty, muttering, "I went to college for this?" I suspect that I smell like a wet dog. As do the students.)

Well, you are funny-looking with that halo hidden in your hair. So there.

(can we stop yet?)

[willow-41z.livejournal.com]

What! Leave me out of this. :p

[willow-41z.livejournal.com]

It could be worse. It could be a book entitled "My Adventures With a Mauvish Shade of Pinky Russett" about the shades of yarn in Nahuseresh's underwear...

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

omg, willow! will you quit spewing out these reprobate ideas?

*tries to cover megan's eyes and ears*

You know how susceptible she is to these suggestions!

[willow-41z.livejournal.com]

I can't help it. I've barely done anything reprobatish all summer. (And, hey, this is my first one on this thread!)

I firmly believe that Ms. Turner could make even a book about Nahuseresh's underwear interesting. :-)

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

I expect it would be a riot ... but I want the other one finished first!
=D

[willow-41z.livejournal.com]

Maybe this IS the other one.

Nahuseresh leaves some underwear behind in his rooms after escaping in QoA. Gen tries to sacrifice it as established in the GUT, to win the gods' favor in the matter of the Mede, but the gods intervene and spend a Moby-Dick-esque period of time talking about why the mauvy-pink-russett shade makes this underwear special...

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

*shakes head sadly, and mourns what a college education/english major does to promising young minds*

[willow-41z.livejournal.com]

Hey, I was like this before college! The GUT is proof!

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

Yes. Please. Heres your halo. Can I have my navy back? :-(

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

Sorry. *looks sheepish* *hears Gen baaing*

[jesusphreaq.livejournal.com]

Lawl. My fandom is so nuts. xD

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

As long as you promise to use it only for reprobatish purposes.

*hands over shiny navy*

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

My thoughts excactly!

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Hey! We agree! Let us celebrate.

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

Party Hats! A toast to...to...to what?

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Sheep? Underwear? Not knitting?

Let's play it safe and toast to something we all can agree on--Gen love.

[beatlelove927.livejournal.com]

Agreed. To Gen, and reprobatish behavior!

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

Will someone PLEASE tell me what reprobatish means? I'm so confused right now...

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

*raises a large flagon of unwatered wine in a totally not-belated toast*

reprobates!

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Ah, my dear. Sit back and prepare to be entertained.

reprobate: a depraved, unprincipled, or wicked person: morally depraved; unprincipled; bad.

It was MWT who first called us reprobates. You can read the thread here (http://community.livejournal.com/sounis/31764.html?thread=596756#t596756). To read more reprobatish comments, search the sounis tags for "crack."

Re: reprobates!

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

Ah. Ok, thanks. My vocabulary has been expanded! (I'm sure my English teacher will be overjoyed when that turns up in my papers!).
