1. Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.
2. Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it's an E.E. Cummings poem and you wind up with an apostrophe). Repeat five times and — you guessed it — list 'em in alphabetical order! (No cheating, mind! This is a challenge and it's always been about creativity.)
3. I think you can see where this is going. Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting - make your brain explode!), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don't have to include it in the half-drabble - it's just inspiration.
4. Bravo! Have a cookie.

The next time this comes up I think I’m not going to do it the john_amend_all way, because it’s really hard. I ended up just giving up on one of them. Anyway, my fandoms were:

Doctor Who
John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme
Legends of Tomorrow
~~Phantom 2040~~
Zootropolis

The results were:

You know, I’m starting to suspect there are only, like, fifty poems on that site or something. “I have a Bird in Spring” came up twice! Still, no Robert Service for once.

Yep, we’re doing this again. Here we go. (All reviews contain MASSIVE SPOILERS.)

Not really memed from anyone this time; I was just bored and remembered its existence.

The rules are:

1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.

2: Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it’s an E.E. Cummings poem and you wind up with an apostrophe). Repeat five times and - you guessed it - list ’em in alphabetical order! (No cheating, mind! This is a challenge and it’s always been about creativity.)

3: I think you can see where this is going. Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting - make your brain explode!), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don’t have to include it in the half-drabble - it’s just inspiration.

[3.5: If you don't think this is enough to make your brain explode, follow john_amend_all's example and make the demidrabbles themselves poems. That ought to do it.]

4: Bravo! Have a cookie.

The fandoms were:

1. Blackadder
2. Diogenes Club
3. Discworld
4. Dragons: Riders of Berk
5. Murdoch Mysteries

Yes, I’ve done some more. I was really struggling with Police/Firefighters for some reason, so this time I’ve gone for Mirror Universe instead.

Feel free to throw more characters at me.

Yeah, okay, so it's just all going in one big post. As ever, spoilers ahead. Lets do this.

( Husbands of River Song )

( Star Wars: The Force Awakens )

( Dickensian )

( The Abominable Bride )

Just a random idea that came to me.
( Read more... )

Not sure I'll do these every week, but I wanted to put down how much I liked these.
( Spoilers )

It is possible that that "How Friends Should Have Ended" thing - the one where it turns out the whole series was the fantasy life of a still homeless Pheobe - annoyed me a bit. In fact, it's possible that it annoyed me so much that I satirically wrote a whole bunch of alternate endings for other sitcoms which revealed that everything we'd been watching was a lie, and things were actually as depressing as heck. Because how could they possibly not be improved by such a thing?

It's also possible I've decided to share them with you lucky people because misery loves company.

( Fraiser )
( The Vicar of Dibley )
( Scrubs )
( Red Dwarf )
( Roseanne )

So I left that cliffhanger hanging for a while to see if it would attract interest. And it didn't.

Nevertheless, for the benefit of

pedanther, if no-one else, League of Extraordinary Gentlebeasts is now completed and may be found, as another pseudo-Victorian adventure might put it, via this finely crafted link.

In which we learn why these stalwarts have been assembled, your humble author desecrates another children's classic, and there's at least one entirely unnecessary cameo.

Oh and I don't want to say too much about the cliffhanger, but I'm quite pleased with the cliffhanger.

The story continues to be here. Final two chapters (and I've just realised I'm not sure why I'm releasing it in two-chapter chunks) coming soon.

Okay, so after Discworld DC Heroes and Sherlock-ified All Consuming Fire, you might think "more ridiculous" is a tough bar to reach. But this is so ridiculous that even after I completed it, I stared at it for a while thinking "Do I actually dare publish this on a website where people can see it?"

Well, it turns out I do. Are you ready for The League of Extraordinary Gentlebeasts? Is anyone? Is being ready for it even theoretically possible?

2 chapters up, four to go. Possibly exactly as daft as you think, perhaps a bit dafter.

That was brilliant!

1. Wally West/The Flash (DC Comics)
2. Sandy (Absolute Power)
3. The War Doctor (Doctor Who)
4. Dr Bunsen Honeydew (The Muppets)
5. Jack Dodger (Dodger)
6. Otto Octavius/The Superior Spider-Man (Marvel Comics)
7. Mycroft Holmes (Sherlock)
8. Eddie Watts (That Puppet Game Show)
9. PC Peter Grant (Rivers of London)
10.Gytha "Nanny" Ogg (Discworld)

( results under the cut )

Yeah, I finally got round to watching the first episode of Not Merlin. Actually it's more like Hercules: The Legendary Journeys with the Trapped In Another World/Secret Legacy tropes.
( spoilers! )

I watched the first two episodes of this today. I'd put it off because I was afraid it was going to be completely dreadful, and I didn't want to know a Henson show was completely dreadful.
