On Characters: Vampire Pizza Deliveryman

Eternal life in darkness is just not all it’s cracked up to be. You need to hide by day, you need to feed by night – and for both of those, it helps if you have a job. Oh, sure, if your last name is Addams, or you’re related to Barnabas Collins, you might have both the familial wealth and the luck to hang onto it through the centuries so you don’t need to be gainfully employed.

For Fun: Who Shot First?

Okay, people, here’s a thought experiment. Somewhere, somehow, there’s been a massive multidimensional cross-rip and a Star Wars stormtrooper ends up in a shootout with a Star Trek redshirt. Who survives?

Some October Spookiness

Some things I like to keep simple. I don’t want to see Halloween decorations before October, and I’d really rather the Christmas stuff was not in stores until at least mid-November.

…Sigh. Not going to get that, these days.

But! It is now definitely October, so have some fun and spooky vids!

Reprise: Steamy Alien Romance!

Been a little under the weather, and part of that has been reading various Kindle samples of alien romance. You know, light, fluffy, something to amuse a tired brain… So I thought I might reprise this post in case we have any amused fanfic cover artists out there.

Jurassic Cat?

I dunno who needs the bemused facepalms, but this is so well done….

(Yes, seriously horrendous. “Double repair” when the actual translation should be

Worldbuilding: A Trail of Flashing Sneakers

If you recall America’s Dumbest Criminals, you may have seen the bit I’m thinking of. Guy running from the cops at night, around buildings and through back alleyways, losing them time after time, yet they always found him again the next time he started moving….

When they finally caught him and he asked how? “It’s your light-up sneakers, dude.”

So what trails do your characters leave behind them?

Worldbuilding: Venomous Little Details

Much as I love many Chinese historical costume dramas, some of them may be a bit light on worldbuilding. Usually little details like, where do all these bad guys get their ninja-esque training, deadly composite poisons, and hidden weapons?

Plotbunny for Hire: Hats Incredible

Okay, crack crossover idea for you: Joseon Dynasty Korea vs. Girl Genius’ Jaegers.

Think about it. The Joseon Dynasty lasted from 1392-1897 in our reality. We don’t know the exact timeframe Girl Genius is set in, but as a “Gaslamp fantasy” it’s probably around the 1800s

A Stray Crossover Idea (SVSSS/Star Wars)

Found this over on Tumblr, reposted there. Because it would be funny.
