Twelve Days of Fandom

MERRRRRRRRRY CHRISTMAS!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas day, whether you celebrate it or not. I hope this day is fun and filled with laughter and that you spend it surrounded by friends and family.

And to set you on your way, here is the Twelve Days of Fandom video (actually two videos, because apparently Youtube can't handle that much editing in one go). Thanks to everyone who took part — it has taken up two days of my life putting all this together, but it was so worth it. Some of you can really sing! And some of you really CAN'T. The videos I saw were funny, sweet, genuine, wacky, impressive, silly, and some of them were downright CUTE (Melissa and her doggy — I mean COME ON!)

The lyrics were written by myself and Laura Jordan (not Valkyrie-Laura, but an awesome Laura just the same!) and it features a special appearance by one Miss Holly Smale.

Have a great Christmas, everybody.

Sir said...

My good Doctor, you said you did not mean it that way, so no one shall interpret it that way.

... There is little need to wipe your hands, so.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*taps a symbol on the fainting couch*
*it turns into an elegant black umbrella*
*opens it to shield herself from the snow*

. . . Juveniles.
I am surrounded by juveniles.

Edward Fletcher said...

*Throws snowballs at everyone*

The Grave of a Coward said...

And I know there's no need to wash my hands so. It's just a . . . a bit of a habit I've picked up.
*frowns*

Robin Snowscar said...

You're all far too posh, you know. Lighten up. Show some ankle or something.

Noelle said...

*hits the ground* I was sitting on that!

*raises glass* hear hear!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hey no Niccolò is like 532! He's eldest. Little creeper but he's special

The Grave of a Coward said...

*holds her umbrella in front of her*
*the snowball explodes against it*

Heh.

Edward Fletcher said...

Hear hear

Unknown said...

Posh? I find it very nice here.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*gives Robin a "I bet you think you're funny, don't you." sort of look*

Noelle said...

That's far too scandalous, Robin

Robin Snowscar said...

*winks at Precocious and blows a kiss*

Sparky Braginski said...

My character is by far the youngest...

Sir said...

...
No thank you, Ms. Snowscar.

Robin Snowscar said...

I enjoy scandals.

Unknown said...

Grand Mage, this man is five hundred thirty two? He must have been around in the 1500's.

The Grave of a Coward said...

I do not enjoy scandals.
*humphs at Robin*
Humph.

Noelle said...

*Nods*

*Smiles, enjoying being with her friends*
*has half a mind to go back to her lab*
*Decides not to and instead sits in the snow, watching*

Robin Snowscar said...

You know you want to see, R

Edward Fletcher said...

*Makes snowman and places Doctor Precocious on its head*

The Grave of a Coward said...

The 1500's . . .
*thinks back*
I was born in . . . in . . . 1501, I think.

Sir said...

Hardly, Ms. Snowscar.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Nic...no. Just when you meet him he andwrrs for his own story.

*raises dynamite* HEAR HEAR

Robin Snowscar said...

Humph *imitating* you too

Noelle said...

That's late 1400s, actually..

Luciana said...

Sparky - Luciana is... *works it out* seventeen. :P

I had to count back from her age in ITS then, omg.

Noelle said...

Eritan was born in 231, so...

The Grave of a Coward said...

I do not like being used as a hat, Edward. Not since Prague, 1922.
*clambers off the snowman*

Unknown said...

Ah. Those were times. I mean, that is an awful long time ago. Indeed.

Robin Snowscar said...

Give over, R.

Sir said...

Ms. Snowscar, you are entirely mistaken.

Noelle said...

R?

Oh

Nevermind

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Jayden where are you from though?

Robin Snowscar said...

I don't think so *pokes R's nose*

Robin Snowscar said...

R. Arrrr. Like a pirate. Except he's too posh for a pirate.

Unknown said...

I...England. Well, from when I was aged eight,

Sparky Braginski said...

Can't remember what year I was born in…

Somewhere in the 1940's, probably.

The Grave of a Coward said...

He's not posh. He is sensible.
*furiously wiping snow off her lab coat*

Noelle said...

He's too posh for the posh, really. I don't think I've met anyone with so much patience.

Edward Fletcher said...

I cant remember what year I was born. Maybe 2360?

Noelle said...

(Wbd)

*Stands beside Precocious*

Robin Snowscar said...

Sensible, posh... *weighs the two options on her hands* Boring.

Noelle said...

Lol Ed

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks to the left*
*sees Adra standing right beside her*

. . .

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

1801. I'm like 212 or something. I fought in the war with Mevolent.

Sir said...

Quite, Ms. Snowscar.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*shudders at the thought of the War*

. . .

Robin Snowscar said...

Lighten uuuup *sings and pokes R's side*

Edward Fletcher said...

I should visit the war at some point.

Sparky Braginski said...

I missed the war by a long shot…

Do any of you have good stories from it?

The Grave of a Coward said...

DON'T.
. . . I mean, don't, Edward.
You would not enjoy it there. It is a dreadful sort of vacation spot.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I keep changing my mind on Fabi's age.... Part of me wants her to be my age, because I haven't been any older than I am, but part of me kind of accepts that she really can't be.

Noelle said...

No.


They're terrible, Sparky.


*Shudders*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*opens her mouth to answer Sparky's question*

*closes it again*

. . .

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I do! *grins* I worked with the Dead Men.

Sir said...

Why, Ms. Snowscar?

Come, why dwell on topics as depressing as the War?

Unknown said...

I fought, but I do not wish to recall that war.

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . .

Sparky Braginski said...

Do tell, Zaf.

Robin Snowscar said...

Fabi - I did that with Robin but she ended up being twenty two. Honestly, just do what she needs to be, it won't matter much how old you are now.

Edward Fletcher said...

I dont plan to go on vacation. I observe history and I never change it of course

Noelle said...

It's better than dwelling on Christmas

Robin Snowscar said...

Because you always seem so sombre, R.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Wether out of fear, or shame, or for any reason at all, I do not think any one of us should need to dwell on the War any longer than absolutely necessary.

*shuts up*
*begins packing a little more snow onto the snowman*

Luciana said...

...STORY TIME?! :D

Sir said...

Quite. It was a horrendous experience, on both sides of it.

Ms. Snowscar, reserved.

Edward Fletcher said...

However there is the time where Malevolent returns, but that hasnt happened yet.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

@Ed Never change it. That's why you almost devolved the human race. Right.

@Robin Yeah, I suppose that makes sense.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Fabi you can read this if you want idc i just need to rant hope nobody minds

Noelle said...

((*hugs Mara*)

*On the topic of war, pulls out a bit of the brandy that Trip gave her and sips it*

Robin Snowscar said...

But why, R? Does someone need a hug?

Edward Fletcher said...

As its christmas *Runs to bar and takes drink* I payed

Sir said...

No, Ms. Snowscar, I assure you.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Well it was right after Skulduggery died and we were losing ever so badly. A few of us were on guard and we were all expecting Vengeous. He was quite gleefully killing. So Saracen being the know it all told us he was near and we prepared to defend. See Vengeous came and we fought but this was awesome because we actually hurt him. It was a joint attack, he kept glaring and glaring from anger. Serpine joined him and many fell victim to him but it ended up me and the Dead Men left. So we drove Serpine out and that very night the weirdest thing happened, as a Necromancer I can sense death, but my necklace grew cold oh so cold an all of us were living but then the ghost of a fallen ally came and these ghosts came and scared me but they helped they scared the daylights out of our enemy and we regained that town, but never again would they appear. None of us know why that happened, but it did.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*reaches into her lab coat*
*pulls out a small flask*
*drinks half of it*
*and stands back to admire the snowman*
*it looks a bit like Gilbert*
*or Sullivan*
*she can never remember which*

Robin Snowscar said...

*grumbles about war stories and hugs R anyway*

Noelle said...

Oh gods..

*puts her flask away, and takes out a bottle of vodka, downs a bit of it, then offers it to Precocious*

Unknown said...

If I told you what I did, it would be extremely bad. Let me keep this to the, I am very sorry I was on Mevokent's side.

Sir said...

*sighs*

The Grave of a Coward said...

That's quite alright, Adra, I've got my own.
*gives her flask a little shake*
Gin. Want any?

Edward Fletcher said...

*Dissapears and reappears* I just spent three months there. It really is an awful time.

Robin Snowscar said...

Alcohol is bad for you

*letting go of R* See was that so bad?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((Hugs Mara))

((100-020 221-120-210 212-001-112-202 202-120 201-202-001-221, 202-022-012-112 201-202-001-221))

((love you))

Noelle said...

*Nods to her vodka* I've got my own..

The Grave of a Coward said...

Alcohol is the refuge of the tragically beautiful and beautifully tragic.
*drinks a bit more gin*

Robin Snowscar said...

Alcohol is the refuge of the weak *smirks*

Sir said...

No, Ms. Snowscar, but I would rather you respect my personal space.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I am Irish I can hold my liquor.

Edward Fletcher said...

*Takes out cider bottle and drinks*

Noelle said...

*nods to Robin* I know. Yet I'm an advanced enough... I can counteract the affects

Robin Snowscar said...

I like hugs, though

Unknown said...

I take it you are of Irish descent, Grand Mage?

I appear to have to go. I shall be back when I finish the laundry.

Robin Snowscar said...

Then why drink it? It tastes vile.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*gives Robin a "I don't believe I like you very much, young lady." sort of look*
Spoken like someone with low alcohol tolerance.

Sir said...

Well, there are many who would appreciate one right now, Ms. Snowscar.

*gestures to those finding solace in alcohol*

Edward Fletcher said...

Bye Jayden. Robinj, Why drink? Why not drink?

Luciana said...

*tacklehugs Robin* Hai:3

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

See you Jayden!

The Grave of a Coward said...

Goodbye, Jayden.

Robin Snowscar said...

I do have a low alcohol tolerance. But then I have a low tolerance for alcohol. It disgusts me, frankly. Which is why *blinks at R* I am hugging you

Luciana said...

Bye Jayden!

Noelle said...

*half shrugs* When you've seen what we've seen, you need it. Weakness isn't something to be ashamed od

Robin Snowscar said...

Oit. Luciana. Now's not the time, sexy. *huggles*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Weakness is something learned, not something born with. Maybe we've lived long enough to have learned how to be weak properly.
*shrugs*
*sips her gin*

. . . It's a rather ugly snowman, I think.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

See you, Jayden!

Luciana said...

*laughs* It's always the time. ;P

Robin Snowscar said...

You don't need it.

Sir said...

Good bye, Ms. Crowsfield.

Greetings, Ms. Scáth.

...
*sighs once more*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Bottle magically refills*

Robin Snowscar said...

*pets L's hair* I guess I always have time for you

Robin Snowscar said...

Sighing at me, R? What for?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*drips a little gin on her sleeve*

Oh, blast. Now I look like a slob and smell like a sot, to boot.

*pulls out moist towelette*
*cleans off the gin*

Edward Fletcher said...

Well, I am going to see next christmas *Dissapears*

Luciana said...

Hey Sirrrrr!

*grins at Robin* Everyone always has time for me, as I am amazinggg!

*jumps to feet and dances* c;

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Repo Man!

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I'll be on and off, writing a song...!

Robin Snowscar said...

No different than normal then, Precocious. *grins*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Ah, hullo, Luciana! I neglected to say hullo. Hullo.

Sir said...

There are many in need of hugs, Ms. Snowscar, yet here you simply stand.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Oh, har har har, Robin Snowscar.
*the corner of her mouth twitches though*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

100-011-102. 100-111 121-200-120-002-002-001-002-110-221 001-112-112-120-221-100-112-021 012-211-012-200-221-120-112-012 :/
Thanks though, Fabi. *hugs*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Reappears*

Noelle said...

(Brb for a bit)

Robin Snowscar said...

If they are so desperate for hugs they can very well come and get them

Robin Snowscar said...

I am rather hilarious.

The Grave of a Coward said...

You are rather annoying.

Robin Snowscar said...

Annoying is a tiresome adjective

Sir said...

Please, the both of you. If you find the other to be distasteful, simply ignore her.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Then you are irritating, infuriating, exasperating, maddening, trying, tiresome, troublesome, bothersome, nettlesome, obnoxious, irksome, vexing, cursed, vexatious, and galling.

Edward Fletcher said...

Sir, Would you care to see the future?

Sir said...

Which one, Mr. Fletcher?

Luciana said...

HEY ANNI! :D

*waves*

Robin Snowscar said...

Did you use a thesaurus for that? *smiles*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*waves at Luciana*
How-do-you-do?)

Edward Fletcher said...

The one where Malevolent returns and. I shouldnt have said that.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*spreads her arms*
Does it LOOK like I have a thesaurus?

Robin Snowscar said...

You are basically a dinosaur so I guess it's kind of similar

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((I'm not sure what you think you're doing that's annoying?))

Luciana said...

I do good, Anni^-^
What about youuuuuuu?:3

*sits down and munches on marshmallows* c:

The Grave of a Coward said...

*eyes narrow*

. . .

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I am doing well, Luciana.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You scholars do

Sir said...

...

Robin Snowscar said...

*winks at her with a smirk*

The Grave of a Coward said...

I am not a DINOSAUR, I am an INTELLIGENT SESQUIPEDALIAN.

Edward Fletcher said...

Sir, I need to wipe your memory. Sorry, now please come with me *Walks into thin air*

Sir said...

Oh, honestly. Nonsense, absolute nonsense.

Noelle said...

Oh dear...

Robin Snowscar said...

Sesquipedwhatnow ?

Edward Fletcher said...

*Walks back* Sir, you have information on a fixed point in time that you have not yet experienced. I will be outcast if I let you remember.

Noelle said...

(And to be clear- I DO know how hurtful alcohol is not only to one's self, but to the people around them. I use my knowledge of that to add to my character... So. Yeah.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Edward, kindly refrain from doing that

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks smug*

See?
SEE?
You YOUNG PEOPLE don't know what basic words mean.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

((Fabi - Me?
Everything tbh.))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Yes, yes, I agree with what Adra has just said about alcohol, of course.)

Noelle said...

*Finishes the bottle* *Shakes her head*

Edward Fletcher said...

(This is before I ever tried to destroy humanity.) Fine, I need to explain to my boss.

Sir said...

Mr. Fletcher, I would say that I sympathize with you, but that would be lying. To be entirely honest, I could care less about whatever singular future that you know of.

Robin Snowscar said...

Basic? I think you made it up.

The Grave of a Coward said...

You believe I made it up?
Well I think you ought to try picking up a dictionary once in a while.

Edward Fletcher said...

*Second Edward appears*
Edward?
Edward?
You cant kill them.
Kill who?
The early humans they *Dissapears*

Noelle said...

*Stumbles, and falls into a snowdrift, slightly tipsy* Oops..

Sir said...

...

Honestly, Ms. Dark?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*glances over at Adra*
*offers her a hand*
Do you need some assistance?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*smirks*
I thought you said you could resist the effects . . .

Edward Fletcher said...

Well, I am outcast from the council of elders and all grand mages banished me.

Robin Snowscar said...

*goes and picks up a dictionary, then puts it down without even opening it* Can you tell me what the word means now?

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan was sat in his usual place by the lake side. He hadn't been crying at all today which was a plus side but he might have well been with the way he was feeling*

How long do you sit there for?

*He turned his head to see a girl of probably 17 or 18, hanging upside down from a branch. He didn't answer her as he turned back and kept on staring into the water.

He heard the crunch of stones as the girl jumped down from the branch and sat beside him*

Lorcan: Who are you and what do you want?

*The girl sat down beside him and stretched out her legs*

Amelia: I'm Amelia O'Connor. You probably know my dad, Drew. And I'm just here to sit beside you.

*Lorcan took a glance at her and saw that she looked like any other teenager. High top shoes, patterned tights worn under denim shorts with a large jumper sitting comfortably on her, her look was topped off with a wooly hat. But Lorcan could sense something else from her, he couldn't tell what*

Amelia: You look like you need a pal.

Lorcan: Oh and you think that's you is it?

Amelia: Could be!! You never know in this crazy day and age what people can do to themselves... especially us werewolves.

*Lorcan sat up straight and looked at her properly. Thats what it was. She was a werewolf too.*

Lorcan: And how would you know what I'm capable of?

Amelia: I don't. I don't even know what the hell I'm capable of. But we're all capable of the same thing, tis in our nature.

Lorcan: But I didn't ask for any of this.

Amelia: No one ever does but you just have to go on. Hey, if you're lucky, I'll let you follow me around and wag your little tail. You'll be so cute!

*Lorcan, for the first time in a while genuinely smiled as Amelia smirked*

Amelia: You look so different when you smile. Very handsome. Why hide it?

Lorcan: I'm a monster...

Amelia: So am I. So is my dad, cousins, auntie and uncle. Just because we THINK we're bad doesn't actually make us bad people.

Lorcan: Are you one of these wolves that are older than they look?

Amelia: Hell no! I'm only 18 but I live around all these boring philosophical lot. I think I need some stupidity in my life soon just for balance.

*Lorcan and Amelia laughed*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*crosses her arms*
Go look it up yourself, you uncouth hoodlum.

Noelle said...

*pokes her head up* Honestly? Saying "honestly"? Like, YES HONESTLY. I FELL. I can't exactly lie when I've just done something

Edward Fletcher said...

*Places adra on snowdog*

Robin Snowscar said...

It's probably not even in here.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*hangs her head*
Adra, Adra, Adra, Blogland would be so dreadfully boring without you around.
*helps her up*

Noelle said...

(Hi Emmy!)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Oh! So Alexis doesnT count? Hmph. I feel honored.)

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

I'm watching Hot Fuzz <3

how's everyone?

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Em

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Honestly, though, it is one of my favorite words. It means someone who talks a lot and uses a lot of very long words when short ones would do.)

Noelle said...

(OH MY FUCK DREW I COMPLETELY FORGOT HOLY SHIT)

I knowwwwwwww *Stumbles* *Wiggles her arm away* Noo I'm fine

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Flora

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(I believe I take my leave now. Before I offend anyone. Very sorry.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*smirks*
Adra, you get the dedication, I believe . . .)

Robin Snowscar said...

(I didn't think you could use it that way)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Em - When you said Amelia, I immediately thought, "hey, my Confirmation name is Amelia Maralie..." :P

The Grave of a Coward said...

(As opposed to . . . what way?)

Robin Snowscar said...

(I thought adjective as opposed to a noun)

Emerald Melody said...

(It's a groovy name Mara! And I know Ads lol I've been waiting patiently. And how about you join instead of jumping to conclusions and getting pissed off Zaf, just a thought.

Hey everyone!!)

Robin Snowscar said...

(Hello)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

OH MY GOD

The Grave of a Coward said...

(No, it can be used as both noun and adjective. Usually, the adjective for that sort of thing is "loquacious," however.)

Noelle said...

Mothe

Robin Snowscar said...

You know, I realised, I don't actually care *throws dictionary away*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Now I'm not I may offend someone. And last time I got pissed I got ignored for it. So I'll take a few minutes and walk away and come back when I won't insult someone)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*turns her back on Robin*
I don't care either.

*whips out her handy-dandy notebook*
*jots something down*
*then sculpts a chair out of snow and sits in it*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*checks her pocket watch*

. . .

*checks her handy-dandy notebook again*

. . .

Robin Snowscar said...

*slips some ice down Precocious' back then runs away*

Noelle said...

*Spins and falls again*

(I'll do a ded soon)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I just found this adorable story I wrote when I was like six omf

it's surprisingly good

The Grave of a Coward said...

EEP!
*claps a hand over her mouth*
*then gives Robin a frustrated sidelong glance*
This is a NEW waistcoat.
Don't
mess
it
up.
It's got to be perfectly neat.
