Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.


Dragon in the dark,
Your eyes move across the stars,
Your breath moves the moon.

Now, when I went back to Florida this past December, my brother (the wonderful soul that he is) got me hooked on Studio 60 and the Sunset Strip.  Since my television is good only for watching movies, I rely instead on the wonderful powers of online episodes to get my fix.  These are hosted on the NBC.com site for a few weeks, before they vanish into the ether.  Now, I'm sure that I could look up and find out when the next episode is going to be aired, but it's amusing to me to check back in on the site every now and again, just to see if they've updated (which they haven't for a few weeks, the bastards).  While there, I stumbled across the first full episode of Thank God You're Here (which I posted about awhile ago.  I wouldn't find the link, but I don't really care).  Now, it's actually supposed to air tonight at 9pm, so I don't know if someone just messed up or what, but it's online.  Because I like to share my thoughts with people, I will be doing much the same as I did for the Oscars and liveblogging these (meaning that I'll update this periodically, as watch).  Yes, it's all under the cut to save your flists.

So, without further ado, I present the first episode of Thank God You're Here

( Which Could Never be as Great as Whose Line ) Watch it online. Skip to the parts you want. Ignore the rest. I'm going to bed now, good night, and good luck.

Yay, slashyness.

So, original fiction.  Short story (1050 words).  Darkish.

I don't read Esquire.  Hell, it's only in the vaguest sense that I'm even aware that said magazine exists.  But when kaiz posted a link to The Napkin Fiction Project, I had to check it out.  The basic gist of the project is that they sent out 250 napkins to various authors, asking them to write on them and send them back.  Well, they did, and it spurned ideas in me.  I don't know if either of these will actually come to fruition, and am looking for thoughts/ideas/interest.

Idea Number One:  Meet the Author
    In which fanfiction authors show us their napkins.  Drabbles, rough drafts, short hand, doodles, cross outs, the whole nine yards.  I don't write a lot by hand, but when I do, the paper is generally covered with notes, and doodles that have little to do with the topic.  I think it would be pretty cool to see some of your work, before it becomes the pretty version we see online.


Idea Number Two: The Correspondence
    In which the character's talk to each other through napkins.  I'm thinking specifically of the Whose Line guys currently, because that seems to be what I write most in.  Say, while Colin and Brad are on tour, they go out to a bar and Colin gets an idea that he just has to share with Ryan.  He writes it down and mails it off.  Ryan responds on his own napkin, and soon the rest of the guys are joining in.  Snark, joke ideas, and graphic doodles ensue.


Either of these sound good, things you might be interested in participating in or reading?

So, Icons on whoselineslash, are now here too so I have a better idea of what I'm doing. This post will grow as people request them. So, uh. yeah.

You're Element is Night. You're a loner who is very
creative but never show your work to anyone.
You may smile a little but sadness or
loneliness surround you and other can feel it
when they're near you. You have a dark or
unusual beauty that makes you mysterious and
you probably have a lot of secrets that you've
never told anyone. You're beauty is intriging
and unorthidox but the real thing that makes
you special is your eyes. Something in them
makes them like Diamonds in the Rough.
