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.

Anni- you knew I would, yet you told me anyway
I have the accent of a young New England girl with a tragically low voice and a habit of singing swing jazz at her friends' birthday parties.
Oh wait . . .
*hugs Luci*
I can pull off a couple American accents. First and foremost, my southern bell :)
Because, Adra, either I could come clean and admit my guilt,
*straightens her waistcoat with great dignity*
or you could keep teasing me about it whenever I was talking to Sir,
which you have done before,
and is rather less preferable.
It took ten attempts to post my last comment and then it fricking disappeared. -.-"
I've got Lynx's curse now.
@Adra [Shrugs]
[hugs Lucy]
#ChaseForBook9
It's my job to tease my friends and make them squirm.
Fine.
*grins*
Actually, among my real-life friends, I am famous for three things:
1: My vocabulary.
2: My reactions [spit takes, jumps of shock, high-pitched screams, sudden starts, jolts of surprise, etc.]
3: My ability to speak in perfect accents [Irish, English, Southern, Japanese, Russian, Canadian, and Frenchwoman-on-a-sugar-high.]
Fabs, let's do a mash up. You, me, Val. *nods*
:/ I hate it when that happens. Are you on your computer?
I'm famous for being mature beyond my years.
And excelling at classes...
...and making people laugh.
And fangirling. Cooking.
And being an Anglophiliac
You call it Lynx's Curse?
At fencing club, we had a fellow named Henry, and technology just would not cooperate with him. Phones would die, computers would glitch, electric fencing gear wouldn't function properly, it was awful. Soon nobody would bring their technology to fencing club because it would become infected with what we called "Henry's Curse."
Now any time an electronic device glitches, we call it Henry's Curse.
Yep. On my laptop. It's only done it three times before - last year when Lynx first left. It happened three times in one week to me and then never again. But then it sometimes happens to Star.
Yeah, because it ALWAYS happened to my bby Lynxia. :P
Ah!
In case you somehow couldn't tell, I too am an Anglophiliac.
*clinks teacup with Adra*
There is a lot of different Irish accents tbh.
There's the "Mullingar-Dublin" one which everyone associates Irish people with.
Then they're the "Cork" one which "sounds like you're singing" :P
Then the "Kerry" one which is slightly like the Cork one but different.
The "Tipperary" one which sounds really flat (mine).
And then many more :P
Well, I'm afraid I don't know the particular name, however, have you ever heard Eoin Colfer speak?
I sound like him, only a couple octaves higher.
Wexford accent, so... I'm guessing. Hmm. Idk.
I'm famous for having a pet telepathic plastic owl, carrying around weird yarn projects and/or looms and baking good cookies. I think....
Also, I'm generally considered an oddball and people used to call me the tall one, before my sister grew.
#ChaseForBook9
Of course, Anni :)
And I feel ya, Luce... *hugs*
My friends know me as the English freak obsessed with books and Skittles, who also happens to be an author herself...
Oh and the one with an obsession with corsets. They tell me off for being too kinky because I like pretty underwear... Heheh.
I will unashamedly say that I was so dreadfully bad at French accents that I found a lot of recordings of people with French accents to listen to, in an effort to hone my skills. And I STILL sound ridiculous.
I should like Monsieur Thenardier, the innkeeper from the Les Miserables movie.
*raises a glass to Sacha Baron Cohen*
*sound
OWLL
Master of the house
Wbd
Hmm . . . what else am I known for . . .
. . . I'm known for being an author incapable of writing anything normal, a reader with a biggish-smallish-library, and a rather good interior decorator. I also wear a lot of black, and have an absurd fondness for silly hats.
I intend to die a happy and very strange woman.
Master of the house
Dolling out the charm
Ready with a handshake and an open palm
It's happened to me a couple times, I think.
Once, comments somewhere on the previous page kept poofing, so by the time I finished writing a ded, the comment that had been third or fourth was on top instead. It was weird.
Okay, I need to find some new music for the plane. Anyone have any good songs/artists I should look up?
Oh!
Oh oh oh!
I almost forgot!
So, I'm taking a creative writing course. It's not very fun, and I'm not really learning anything, but I need feedback more than anything else, so it's helpful. Anyway, for one of the assignments, I need to get feedback from at least two friends, but it's Christmastime, and my two best friends are too busy to check their e-mail right now.
Can I post it [it's short] here, and just get some feedback real quick so I can submit the assignment?
Listen to T Swizzle, Panic!, FOB and Green Day. Oh and MCR.
Fabi, I would suggest Panic! at the Disco, Relient K, Pentatonix, and any sort of Broadway musical.
Fabi - I was going to say Little Mix but then I realised...:P
Tich? Avril Lavigne? 5SOS? idk sorry /:
I'm known for being violent
Okay thank you. :-)
[hugs people]
Wbd now, looking up songs. :-P
Pentatonix!!
Lol, Zaf, I thought you hated fighting :3
. . .
Is it okay if I get the feedback here?
*looks concerned*
I mean, it's okay if I can't, but they're quick.
I have two things, and they're both quite short.
Ah, yes, Pentatonix. Have you heard their Carol of the Bells? I bought it on Christmas as a little treat.
Of course, Anni!
Pentatonix is awesome. So's Avril Lavigne. I only have a couple songs by each of them, though...
#ChaseForBook9
Okay, thank you.
*coughs*
*puts on her black beret*
*recites*
radio tower blinking red
imposed against the cashmere sky
when I am gone you will remain
blinking in a slow refrain
even when I’m dead
radio tower standing tall
even when no one can hear you
will you still be speaking sweetly to us
as cities and towns begin to rust
do you even love us at all
radio tower shining bright
the end draws near; I’m going now
I can hear polished black cars
winding closer under the stars
that glitter like diamonds at night
radio tower, red light glistening,
I can hear their footsteps on the concrete
not a soul in this town is stirring
those men are soulless, they don’t count
asleep with the radios softly purring
don’t worry, radio tower, I’m listening
*the curtains close*
While I wouldn't call myself a fan by any means, I've become rather fond of Adele. I think I'm developing Stockholme Syndrome.
STOCKHOLME SYNDROMEEEEEE
MUUUUUUUUUUUUUSEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Stockholm syndrome is when you are attracted to the person who keeps you captive,
I think
WAIT IS THAT A BAND NAME
NEVERMIND
Yes. That was the joke.
*sigh*
Never mind.
Ah. I am violent to my brother, and evil.
Guess what? Zaffy gonna gets her gerbils today! So long as my migraine clears up enough
And Stockholme Syndrome isn't necessarily becoming attracted to your captor. It's more like you begin to sympathize, empathize with, and care for your captor, even starting to build a friendship. It's similar to the hero-nemesis relationship.
OH MY GOD ANNIKA!
I liked the symbolism of the tower, and I felt like I could really see the scene (except for the cashmere sky? How is a sky cashmere?)
But to continually hint an the silence of the tower, then throw in the fact that you listen at the end was really powerful.
*claps*
Okay, here's the other one.
*removes her black beret*
*puts on a blue beret*
*coughs*
*recites*
On the first day of summer, in the crisp, noon-time snow,
the stars were twinkling in the sky and I was on my own.
I was walking past a Fresca™ bar when suddenly I saw
a fellow playing mini-golf, despite the word of law.
I like to think I’m courteous, a lady, so they say,
so I tapped him on the shoulder. “Please, good sir, be on your way.”
I immediately noticed something I knew I’d have to report:
His eyes were blue, not orange like the average, common sort.
He told me he was Irish and was born in New Orleans,
and was raised to be a fixer of broken TV things.
I told him to quit the mini-golf and please lay down his club.
The Fresca™ bar turned out to watch and things soon heated up.
I wouldn’t be dissuaded and presented it to court,
my evidence his orange eyes and the mini-sport.
Though the duchess wished to do it then, the judge was who presided
and a court-appointed swordfight was the thing that was decided.
A rapier made of shining gold was what I had selected,
and for him, a rather fat dolphin was what had been elected.
We set to fighting on the bridge that spans the gleaming sea;
the one that goes South Cack-a-lack to Western Italy.
And as we there were fighting, a man came up to me
(on the bridge between South Cack-a-lack and Western Italy.)
He asked me what my name was and I answered him in haste
and when I lost my focus, took a dolphin to the face.
The duel was done, the battle won, my loss left me down-hearted.
My head was down, my steps were slow. In this way I departed.
A fellow from the Fresca™ bar said “Cheer up, if you can.
Who else can say they had a duel with a TV repairman?”
“It’s nothing much to brag about.” Said darling, modest I.
“I couldn’t have avoided it if I’d wanted to try.”
And it was true; around these parts, ‘normal’s’ tough to chase
You don’t get normal much right here. It’s that kind of place.
On the first day of summer, the snow had melted flat
And as I walked away I thought “Well, that’s the end of that!”
WELL I KNOW ANNI I CAN'T THINK rn im really tired no we had to read about it I know what if is but it just came out wrong
Awh, thank you, Adra!
IT'S A SONG BY MUSE MAAAAAAAN
Whoa... Crazy, very... Odd, I must say.
It really confused me, Annika, about the snow in the summer... But I get what you were aiming for.
I still prefer the previous one though :) not that this want good.
SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLE
THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG THOUGH GUYS
OMG
Well, the prompt said "Write something weird!"
Ergo, I wrote something weird.
I wasn't trying as hard for that one as I was for the first one though, so there you go.
Thank you for the feedback!
I don't think I have any other assignments I need feedback on, but I will check.
GLORIOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS
STARLIGHTTTTTTTTTTT
KNIGHTS OF CYDONIAAAAAAAAA
Flora!! *huggles*
upRISING
Hey! How are you all?
Okay, I had to write a song for the end of the module. It's not great, but it's okay, I suppose. I'm going to run it by you, if you don't mind . . .
I'm always posting parts of my books on here, Anni, I'm sure they'll appreciate something different:P
Hmmmmm....!
#ChaseForBook9
Okay Anni *nods*
Hey Rhydian! *hugs*
Annika my one character from a THG roleplay had Stockholm. Her captor was Jev Kylar, he used to do crazy experiments on her because she was a victor and had isssues with her memory of the Games. Well they fell for each other, when he was attacked she went to the hospital and stayed with him, he ending up removing her appendix and cutting the tendons in her leg. But they dated and he and her had kids he actually stopped hurting her because he began to care for her, she also was a Gamemaker and he didn't like her leaving but knew she had to. So it was weird but he even diagnosed her with Stockholm
This is sort of one part song, one part poem.
*coughs*
*recite-sings*
Let me live in a little house
Let me be there to stay
Let me take in stray cats and feed them
Then send them on their way
Let my bookshelves reach the ceiling
May papers be strewn about
Let my neighbors think I’m a little bit odd
That I never really want to come out
Let me be a little bit scruffy
And kind of charmingly mussed
Let me wear black and have hobbies
Let them not care how I look
Let me be careless and silly
Let me always be lost in a book
Let me play chess and piano
But there’s no one to listen or look
Let me live in a funny old house
Full of books and chairs all eclectic
Let me live in a fabulous house
Let me be a little bit eccentric
Let me play jazz or classic as loud
As I dare, may the candle smoke smother the air
May a book flip out and a case flip around
May I have a secret lair
Let it be chaos that makes perfect sense
I can find anything that I’ll need
Let me dress how I dress and say what I say
Left alone to eat what I eat
Let me have friends who tells stories of me
And twirl a finger at their heads
Let me have dogs, big ones that are kind
And sleep in their doggy-sized beds
Let me be the odd one who lives down the lane
Let me have the best candy on All Hallow’s Eve
Let me be eccentric and contented there
Let me never wish to leave
I'm weird.
Hey Adra! *hugs back*
That was awesome, Annika!! The repetition was really nice, and then the breaks in the repetition helped bring a focus to those things.. *claps*
Thank you.
I'm afraid I have to go, now. School to do, and such.
Goodbye!
. . . Oh, and Adra?
Don't
you
dare
tell
Sir.
*smiles and waves*
Fours!

Hello again...

#ChaseForBook9
Greetings, Ms. Fabienne, Dark, Scáth, Ophelia, possibly Ms. Kerias, and Mr. Sky.
Er, yes. Which really does remind me- thank you for caring, yesterday. *nods* I spend the majority f the day alone, so it was nice to know, you know...
(He is OMG)
(Foobroo!)
It was nothing, Ms. Dark. And who is an acronym?
The dog in my picture. Luce said he was adorable, and I said "he is", but forgot to separate the sentence from the acronym
My dad keeps bringing his girlfriend over when it's just meant to be me and him having our normal dad/daughter time and she keeps ignoring me and whispering to dad "when is she leaving?" like wtf i stay here overnight bitch excuse you
Ah, quite.
Oh Mara... I'm so, so sorry *hugs tightly*
Stand up for yourself. It doesn't matter what your dad thinks, she's being mean, and he can't possibly expect you to just take it.
Stand up to her.
Aye
*huggles Mara*
Snippet from Imp:
“I will shout for you when all you can manage is a whisper. I will run for you when walking proves itself to be your limit. I will live for you when death’s cool embrace appears to be the only possible escape.”
“Narang gatchi eessuh.”
“Always.”
IT'S GOING TO BE SUCH A GOOD ENDING YOU HAVE NO IDEA
You have my dearest sympathies, Ms. Charm. Some people, sadly, were born without tact.
[hugs Maralieeeee]
[hugs Adra]
#ChaseForBook9
Luce omg Geek Girl....The French hairdresser...
*hugs Fabi*
*Sits down by the fire, warming her hands*
SORRY FOR POOFING!!!!!
It was nothing, Mr. Saint.
It's okay Rhyd
*Yawns, glancing at her arm again, quickly downing two small pills with some water*
*Shakes her head out*
Ugh I feel crappy but I am gonna get my gerbils

Thanks Flora.
I still need to read what you've sent me... I've just been so fickle lately, though. >-< Not even written much. :I
Animals certainly can help in such situation, Ms. Kerias.
Gingerbread is quite dangerous, Ms. Fabienne, just make certain that the cut does not get infected.
Gtg now. BYE!
Bye Rhydian~
Bye Rhydian! *hugs*
@Luce: no worries - it's been Christmas :P
Bye Rhyd!! *hugs*
Good bye, Mr. Saint.
Indeed. [Glares at the evil gingerbread]

with wisdom we learn as our minds,
They do burn.
Entice the naivety in youth.
As adults will grow and maturity shows,
Oh, The terrifying rarity of truth,
As you turn to your mind,
And your thoughts they rewind,
To old happenings and things that are done,
You can't find what's passed,
Make that happiness last,
Seeing from those eyes what you become
*you've become
Hello Adra, Flora, Jazlyn, Snow.

LUCYYYYY
ADRAAAAA ZAF
[hugs Lucy] So are youuuuuu!
FABROOOOOOOOOOO
MWAHAHAA, FINALLY
I HAVE FINALLY GOT WHAT I WANTED
I've been trying to get first since Sparx deded!
NOW I CAN DED WOOOOOOOO
@Mushroom: You did a Fabi. :)
*hugs*
Hey, Adra! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Star, I did a me. It's something I've done for a long time, you turnip. At the top of every page, you say something nice so everyone will see it, and it brightens their day even if it's only a little. It's the kind of thing I've always done.
I'm not like Fabi, I'm like me. I wish I was like Fabi, however; she's wonderful.
Terrible ded is terrible:
Following from Sparx’s ded to me will be super difficult, so I’m very sorry Sparx, this is probably going to be terrible, because you’re so difficult to talk about. Words fail to express how incredible you are.
Sparky Braginski is my little sister, okay. I don’t care that she and I aren’t related, I love that moron to pieces. She’s a bright spark even in the darkest of times. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Sparky Braginski is indescribably perfect. She’s always there for you when you need to smile, cry or even be angry. She listens to me when I’m in any number of my stupid moods.
I can’t tell you everything about Sparky, because there’s not much I know about her. She’s a mystery, in a way, and I like that about her, because she’s an open book at the same time.
I’m not very good at this, but Sparky is. She made me cry last night, the evil cow;)
Anyway, I’m fumbling for words so can we just say Sparky Braginski is perfect though, the word perfect doesn’t do her much justice either… it’s nothing compared to what she is.
So, yeah, I ded to Sparx. My favourite little bright spark. C: LOVE YOU!<3
1-1, Braginski;)
*smirks*
RIGHT AS I GET HERE
MY TIMING IS IMPECCABLE
Or Ms. Braginski's timing is.
*raises glass* hear hear
EXCUSE YOU MY TIMING IS IMPECCABLE
I MESSAGED YOU FIRST YOU GODDAMN SAPPY SUPPORTIVE FRIEND
omfg you're the sweetest thing to grace god's earth now STOP COMPETING TO MAKE ME CRY
