them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

- Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012

Threw this together in about 20 minutes while blocked on the fifty other Fenspace ideas I'm kicking around every other day. Not by any means my best work, but maybe eventually it'll make for a decent front page image.

If you hit the main link to 826la.com, it appears that this store is connected to the Spy Store in Chicago, and the Superhero Supply Store in NYC. They all
appear to be part of a writer's workshop of some kind.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go fix my flux capacitor and cram it back into the DeLorean -- I'm jonesing for a Hyper Slushee, and the machine
only works yesterday.

Just got this today, and just let me say it should make any long-time DC fan squeal in joy. I'm not so sure about the less-rabid fen, but...

And from the extras, JLU version of Killer Frost? Loads of fun.

In the spirit of the recent Buffy thread I present the Stargate fanfic recommendation thread. I recently started watching Stargate off and on (more off than
on) and decided I would like to kill some time reading fanfic about it. I'm pretty much caught up on continuity, I believe. I tend to prefer stories from
the TV show that focus on Jackson and Carter over those that focus on O'Neil and I find Teal'c (and everything associated with him) hopelessly boring
(wow, yet another honourable warrior race culture guy!).

So, any recommendations? Crossovers (provided they aren't with series that are too obscure) are okay, as are SIs and anything else you can think of.

It's just a little game we call, "What I Should Have Said/What I Said:"

What I Should Have Said: "Well, it's still early, and of course there's the traffic, and you never know when a cell phone's going to run out of battery, and I'm sure he'll call as soon as he gets to a gas station. You have nothing to worry about, really."
What I Said: "Maybe he's dead."

...and my shoes began to squeak.

1) Go play Urbandead. www.urbandead.com. Zombie apocalypse fun. I'm hanging out in Scarletwood, but you may not
want to be there, there's a zombie horde on the way.

2) Has anyone tried Flyff? Is it any good? Could a dedicated soloist like me enjoy it?

Someone to do some graphics work. I'm an assistant manager for a major fast food restaurant here in Corpus Christi, TX, and we just had our yearly
corporate inspection. This particular restaurant has failed the last two inspections, but we managed to pull it together and nail this one, and I want to get
some t-shirts made for my graveyard crew. I thought I'd work through cafepress since they're happy to do small batch work (I'm looking at less
than 10 t-shirts), but I need someone who can create the graphics for the shirts. Serious and private replies only, please, to wolff2063@gmail.com.

Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home

Jump out from behind them and shoot them in the head
