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.

@Mushroom: That wasn't terrible. :) It was beautiful.

And - it's come to be known as 'doing a Fabi' in my mind, the same way as you can do an Adra (although that is more common.) And - whatever what you're doing is called when you do it, it's fabulous. :) I did a Fabi once because when Fabi does a Fabi, it makes me feel happy whenever I post a comment. So whoever does it, it's incredible, and you and Fabi are both incredible, and basically what I'm trying to say is it's all incredible and yeah. :)

And, um, thanks for doing it. :)

Luciana said...

I THINK YOU'LL FIND MY TIMING IS IMPECCABLE, HUSH

*tackles Sparky into the lake* Love you bbz


*laughs* Thanks, Star. :P
But you should stop calling it 'doing a ---' because comparing people to others isn't nice:P

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

[hugs Lucy]

[hugs Star]

Sparky Braginski said...

*laughs*

Gosh darnit.

*drags self out of the lake*

Sup, Sir?

Sir said...

A few things, though really, up is entirely relative.

Sparky Braginski said...

That is a fair enough and well constructed statement.

How are you, may be a better question.

How are you, Sir?

Noelle said...

*Ducks under her tree, wincing at the vacancy and lack of gifts*
*She looks at the one little present, a red box with a green bow wrapped about the top* *Reads the card- "To Adra"*

*Lifts the lid and peers in, taking out a few much needed herbs*

...I do suppose wrapping one's own present does make one lose the surprise factor..

Sir said...

Standard, Ms. Braginsky. I do hope that you are well.

Sparky Braginski said...

I'd be doing a lot better if people had figured out how to spell my name correctly after two years on the blog.

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: In some circumstances it can be. But I get what you mean. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Sir said...

My apologies, Ms. Braginski. An egregious oversight of mine.

Luciana said...

*laughs* I remember when I spelled Braginski wrong... *laughs again* I was so stupid. :')

Sparky Braginski said...

Heh.

You know egregious means good and bad at the same time, right?

Apology accepted, in any case.

I'm doing quite well.

Noelle said...

(Pointing out here that Annika and Sparky's last names are very similar, and often the "y" and the "I" get confused, simply there is another one similar.)

Sir said...

Ms. Braginski, I suppose that technically, everything is egregious. Thus, I suppose even bothering to call something that is rather redundant.

English is a rather entertaining language, in its own bizarre way.

Sparky Braginski said...

Yes, I thought so.

What's even more entertaining is watching an English student pick sentences apart as they read them, a delight I was only introduced to yesterday.

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

Oh.

Luciana said...

*throws a snowball at Sparx*


You're such a sprout.

Robin Snowscar said...

*falls in from the sky*

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Snowscar.

Sparky Braginski said...

*throws one back at her*

C'mere…!

*chases her*

Robin Snowscar said...

R! How are you?

Luciana said...

ROBINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN *throws glitter all over her*

Sir said...

Standard. I hope that you are doing well?

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

Hi Robin.

Luciana said...

*runs away from Sparx* LEAVE ME ALONNNNNEEEEEEE

Robin Snowscar said...

GLITTER *squeals and spins round*

I'm kind of hyper though coming down with something.

Hello Zaf!

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

*holds dynamite close to me* dynamite

Sparky Braginski said...

NAYYYYYYYYY

*throws a snowball at her*

Luciana said...

*gets hit in the back of the head with a snowball and falls face first onto the snow* THANKS SPARKY! *throws another snowball at Sparx*:P

Robin Snowscar said...

I've had no snow. Only rain. And wind. Floods. Broken fences. Broken ceilings. Broken bunny rabbit hutch.

Unamused.

The shopping centre car park is currently under three feet of water.

Noelle said...

*Sets her gift to herself down and wanders upstairs to her balcony, watching below*

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

*sits with dynamite*

Robin Snowscar said...

*blows glitter at Zaf*

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

Eeep!!!! *pokes Robin with dynamite*

Robin Snowscar said...

*glares* That is dangerous. What if it blows up?!

Sir said...

Ms. Snowscar, most dynamite is inert, until the fuse is actually lit.

Sparky Braginski said...

*trips and lands on her in the snow*

Hey!!

Noelle said...

*pulls out a snowball shooter and fires it haphazardly*

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

103 names on the name-project, and there are still plenty of people I missed/haven't done yet.

Robin Snowscar said...

I don't trust Zaf as far as I could throw her

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

Then we become confetti! But it's not ripe from the tree so it's okay! *in the distance a dynamite tree blows* Now that is a too ripe dynamite tree

Robin Snowscar said...

Name project?

*dives for cover* ADRA!

Noelle said...

*Smiles slightly* Hi Ro

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

*throws the dynamite stick at Adra* GO BOOM BOOM GO!!!

Robin Snowscar said...

Oh, that makes sense, Zaf. Though, I'd rather be glitter.

Robin Snowscar said...

Ro. *snort*

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

Yeah... I'm writing the names of as many Bloglandians as I can, with different fonts and stuff.

Robin Snowscar said...

I believe I saw that email. Am I on it?

Noelle said...

*Snuffs the flame out in the snow*
*Breaks it in half and tosses the remains behind her*

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

I haven't emailed it out yet, I don't think (my memory has been a bit fuzzy lately), but yeah, you're on it. Your name is blue, unless you really don't like blue, then I can paste another one on top.

Luciana said...

I'M DOING DISNEY LYRIC QUIZZES SORRY FOR BEING DISTANT

Robin Snowscar said...

I did see an email of a picture with lots of bloglanders names on it. Something different, perhaps.

Blue is fine. Blue and red are my colours

Noelle said...

*slinks back into her lab*

Sparky Braginski said...

*sneaks into Adra's lab*

Whatcha doin', Ads ol' girl?

Noelle said...

I'm.... Being here, drowning in self-pity

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

Adra did some calligraphy.

Okay.

My sister is calling me. Brb/gtg

Noelle said...

Goodbye, Fabi

Sir said...

Good bye, Ms. Fabienne.

Sparky Braginski said...

*nudges her*

What's up?

Unknown said...

Hello.

Noelle said...

I've just seen too many Christmases, is all.

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Crowsfield.

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

Hi Jayden

Robin Snowscar said...

I have to disappear for a bit while we drive home. See ya in a few

Sparky Braginski said...

*shrugs*

Haven't we all, sweetie?

*nudges her again*

We're all here, though.

I bet you've had worse Christmas's.

Unknown said...

Hello, all! I did not expect people on, cool!

Noelle said...

(Goodbye, Robin)

*She nods quietly*

Luciana said...

Hello Jayden!

BYE ROBIN BBY!

How is everyone today?

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

Your picture....Niccolò had a crow.

Noelle said...

Goodbye

Unknown said...

Goodbye, Adra? If you are leaving.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Tich is so amazing. I really wish she'd post more covers<3

I think I'm going to leave too
Bye x

Luciana said...

I'm sorry for vanishing, but I think I'm going to go toooooooo~

BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *hugs everyone*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Hullo?
Is anyone currently on?

Sir said...

Sadly, quite a few people recently left. I do believe there is a small amount left, however.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*sigh*
Oh well.
How are you? Did you have a good Christmas?

Sir said...

It was fine, Ms. Barnosky.

I hope that yours was well?

The Grave of a Coward said...

Yes, I had a lovely Christmas. I got books, mostly, and a clock with a regeneration of The Doctor for every number.

Unknown said...

Oh! People are here, hello everyone.

Sir said...

That certainly sounds lovely. I am gladdened that your Christmas went over so well.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Yes, it was very fun. There was even an unexpected visit from my grandparents, which is always . . . interesting.
Hullo, Jayden! I rather like your profile picture.

Noelle said...

*Grins from the shadows*

Unknown said...

Thank you, Annika!

The Grave of a Coward said...

YIKES!
Adra! I didn't see you there, in the darkness, so stealth-like!

Unknown said...

Hi again, Adra.

Sir said...

...

Ms. Dark, I have the distinct feeling that you are holding something over Ms. Barnosky's head.

Noelle said...

Hello, Jayden?


Yes. I'm holding snow.

No

What?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks over her head*

Adra, stop holding that chicken over my head.

Noelle said...

CAN PEOPLE NOT SMILE FROM THE SHADOWS WITHOUT BEING QUESTIONED ANYMORE??

Noelle said...

What has this planet come to?

Sir said...

Yes, Ms. Dark. Yes, no they can cannot.

The Grave of a Coward said...

I'm afraid only stepping dramatically out of the shadows can go without being questioned these days.

Unknown said...

Well, if you feel you want to, then by all means do that.

Robin Snowscar said...

*pops into view in a mess of glitter* BOO

The Grave of a Coward said...

My, look at all the people saying hullo to one another. How lovely.

Noelle said...

*Spins in a circle, a hand to her forehead and dramatically faints*

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Snowscar.

Duck said...

*steps dramatically out of the shadows*

Noelle said...

(ROBINNN)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*produces a fainting couch from her pocket*
*slides it under Adra*

Robin Snowscar said...

(Adraaaaa... why brackets)

Noelle said...

(Duck I'm still laughing at the pic)

The Grave of a Coward said...

Hullo, Robin, Duck, and Crowsfield.
I'm beginning to sense a trend.

Noelle said...

*Lands*
*Bounces partly*
(Because I fainted dramatically.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

See?
*gestures to Duck's manner of entrance*
We don't question that.

Unknown said...

A trend? What do you mean?

Sir said...

Greetings, Mr. Duck.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks at Jayden through half-closed eyes*

. . . A bird trend, Jayden.
A bird trend.

Edward Fletcher said...

Seasons Greetings!

Robin Snowscar said...

Well, I was here first. *pout*

But hello people.

Duck said...

I WAS grinning in the dark for quite a while before that but I thought the entrance was... good.

Sir said...

...

Penguins.

I am beginning to be rather worried, Ms. Barnosky.

The Grave of a Coward said...

And here's the King of the Penguins!
Bird trend, I tell you, a bird trend.

Noelle said...

(And now we have penguins. Great Scott.)

Noelle said...

*Sits up* We're surrounded

Edward Fletcher said...

Well, merry christmas to you too.

Unknown said...

Oh, well you can be the first, Robin.

The Grave of a Coward said...

And does my memory deceive me, or was Adra not once an "Avian Princess?"

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

[Sneezes loudly from the shadows]

Sir said...

Ah, greetings, Ms. Fabienne.

The Grave of a Coward said...

I'm sorry, Edward, merry Christmas to you.
We're just trying to determine if we have a Birdocalypse on our hands.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Ah, Fabi, you're not a bird. Excellent.

Edward Fletcher said...

A birdocalypse? *Pushes penguins out of sight*

Robin Snowscar said...

*huffs* All the people with bird names now. You'd think this was a free country.

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

*sighs* Hello again

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Robin, I dont think we have met?

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Kerias.

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Zaf

Robin Snowscar said...

*waves at Edward*

I'm pretty sure there was a penguin person before. Perhaps not.

But I'm Robin. Hello.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Hullo, Zafira.

Unknown said...

Is it not? Whom shall be dictator?

Noelle said...

I was. Everyone tried to eat me. They tore my wings off. *Stiffens* I am sorry- it is still a painful memory

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

...

Didn't I tell you guys?

The S in my name stands for Seagull.

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

*waves to those who said hi*

Jayden are you a Necromancer?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*watches the events with a look of mystified surprisory*

Edward Fletcher said...

That sounds terrible Adra. *Places watch on her head* Merry Christmas

Noelle said...

*watches Precocious watch*

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

Okay, I was joking about that.

Noelle said...

I... Thank you? *Puts it on and hands him a penguin hat*

Robin Snowscar said...

BIRD PEOPLE UNITE *jumps into the air*

Edward Fletcher said...

Thank you *Puts on penguin hat*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*takes a moment to leap into parentheses*

(Ah, that's better.)

*Precocious dusts off her lab coat*

Now then.

Edward Fletcher said...

*Jumps into the air*

Noelle said...

*Sobs quietly, remembering her wings*

Unknown said...

No,Grand Mage Kerias. I am actually an Eergy-Thrower, but I took my name in honor of one.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Oh, hullo then. I too am an Energy-Thrower.

Robin Snowscar said...

At least I have a small army of bird people *evil grin*

Robin Snowscar said...

*goes and cuddles Adra*

Unknown said...

Oh cool, Annika!

Noelle said...

*Shouts* ALCHEMY!

*Nuzzles Robin* *Gently bites her arm*

Oh! I'm so sorry- I am a bird at heart.

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

Zaffy is a snakey ok SNAKEY

The Grave of a Coward said...

*flicks an invisible speck of dust off her shoulder*
*and sits on the fainting couch*
*which is black*
*and dotted with innumerable black symbols*
*it is her van*
*of course*

Robin Snowscar said...

*narrows eyes* You bit me

Edward Fletcher said...

and I am a penguin

The Grave of a Coward said...

(For those who are unaware, Annika is my name within these parentheses. Whereas when I'm not . . .)

Hullo, Jayden. My name is Doctor Precocious.

Noelle said...

I apologized


(Wbd- I have dishes on "Basically Thanksgiving again" night)

Unknown said...

Hello,Doctor. Yes, I am Jayden. Energy-Thrower, and American.

Robin Snowscar said...

(I didn't know that but okay, sure)

Robin Snowscar said...

You bit me

Edward Fletcher said...

Jayden, I dont beleive we have met. Edward Fletcher

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I am an Ameriminion as well!)

Hm. I'm American as well, by birth, at least.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I'm sorry for the confusion. The only reason my proper name is in my profile anyway is due to the fact that non-Blogland folk visit my blog with some frequency and they already wonder why I have / Doctor Precocious on the end of my name.)

Unknown said...

Hello, Edward. Doctor, I still live in America. How lovely to see some Americans!

Robin Snowscar said...

(You did not have to explain. Explaining takes all the fun out of everything)

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

...

Would any of you be terribly upset if I dropped the whole plot with Ioux and Liz?

Robin Snowscar said...

*waves English flag*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Admittedly, when I was an American, America was hardly more than a landing party or two.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(As long as Ioux is okay-ish, I do not mind.
*sends a hug in the vague direction of Ioux*)

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

Not realy Fabi because it is up to you

Unknown said...

God, how old are you, Doctor?

Luciana said...

MEL'S ACCENT IS AMAZING, HOLY CRAP GUYS

Sparky Braginski said...

Baaaack.

Robin Snowscar said...

Mel?

Sir said...

Now, now, Ms. Crowsfield. One should never ask a lady her age.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Sparky Braginski said...

ROBIN'S ACCENT THOUGH

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Unknown said...

Oh my, Doctor.

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Luci, Sparky and Sir

Luciana said...

I FRICKING HATE YOU

Robin Snowscar said...

Mine?

The Grave of a Coward said...

I'm not ashamed of my age.
Though I'm rather ashamed of what it's done to me.
*frowns at a lock of her gray hair*

Unknown said...

Sir, I am a lady, it would be improper for a gentleman to ask.

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

Hey I'm only 200 something

The Grave of a Coward said...

*sighs*
Tragically, I've grown used to impropriety over the years.
*realizes what that sounded like*
*looks horrified*
I didn't mean it like that. I certainly didn't. Heavens!

Robin Snowscar said...

*giggles at Precocious*

Noelle said...

*nibbles on Robin's arm*

Sir said...

...

Quite.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*gives Robin a "Oh, shut your face." sort of look*

Robin Snowscar said...

Are you biting me again?

The Grave of a Coward said...

I didn't!
*frustratedly starts wiping off her hands*
*even though they're clean*

Robin Snowscar said...

*snort giggles*

*wiggles eyebrows at Precocious*

Noelle said...

Maybe?


426 represent!

Unknown said...

How odd. How many others are around here? I feel like you multiplied.

Sparky Braginski said...

I dedicate this page to a great person.

A great, great person.

She's a bit mad.

A bit excitable.

Very funny.

Very very interesting.

Astronomically clever.

And also happens to be my younger blog sister.

She's the biggest fan of us all. She's one of the strongest and bravest and most influential. But she's also still just her. I've seen her grow and change and mature, but she's still herself and that's so admirable.

So I dedicate this page to one of my three favourite people.

Ivy Animosity.

You'd better freaking read that.
