...The President is on the line
As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by...

This area is for the discussion of and storywriting in the shared-world setting of Fenspace.
In the early 2000s, a mysterious technology/organism -- eventually to be known by the tongue-in-cheek name handwavium -- appeared from no known origin. Properly applied, handwavium allows, among other things, almost anyone to build a spacecraft far in advance of anything any government is fielding. And almost anyone does -- most of North American science fiction fandom makes it off the planet in an explosive diaspora before laws against the use of handwavium are passed by paranoid governments worried about the devastating changes such a disruptive technology can cause to the comfortable and profitable status quo.
These are the stories of those who made it into space, and what they did and found there.

Bad: I lost pretty much the entire year's hard-won progress on TXY 2
Good: Angered, I whipped out a couple of chapters for These Crazy Dreams, leaving meat two and three scenes and a premise.
I'll post them up tomorrow, probably.
- CDSERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
For the next 72 hours, Itachi intoned, I will slap you with this trout. - Spying no Jutsu, chapter 3

So, I was kicking around the Winter Event Saturday night, and I come across an MM with all his robots out, and he's got an audience.
We watch, as his robots perform, with some really appropriate emotes, Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
Anyone else seen anything that good?--

Use this one and everyone would find out the "real" reason Anya didn't like rabbits. How about a hoard of rabbits comes out of the ground and attacks/swarms over everything inside Doug's AoE. Outside they would burrow back into the ground. The rabbits could be demonic rabbits (with the "yellow eyes" perhaps even vampire rabbits?)

Was talking to Chibi Konatsu (@Naoko) about keybinds and such, setting up a character with combat battlecries.
I figure other people could benefit from a thread about the subject, though, or may have specific bind questions we can answer.
Here's a few good guides and resources about custom keybinds:
The Wholly Unofficial and Fairly Incomplete Guide to /Bind is pretty old and slightly out-of-date, but it's still the best guide ever when it comes to understanding keybind stuff. It's out-of-date 'cause it doesn't cover some newer slash commands...but everything in there definitely works, no question. It's my first stop when I need to figure out something.
CityBinder is a program to create and manage keybind files. It lets you save profiles for each character, and so on.
Khaiba's Mastermind Numeric Keypad Pet Controls are, I believe, essential for Masterminds. You don't have to use the actual numpad keys...I don't...but the general style of setup, that's rock solid. I didn't really enjoy Masterminds until I started using this.

Willie Nelson - "On the Road Again"
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

Kenny Loggins - "House at Pooh Corner"
Christopher Robin and I walked along
under branches lit up by the moon.
Posing our questions to owl and eeyore
as our days disappeared all too soon.
But I've wandered much further today than I should
and I can't seeem to find my way back to the wood.
So, help me if you can I've got to get
back to the house at Pooh corner by one.
You;d be surprized there's so much to be done,
count all the bees in the hive,
chase all the clouds from the sky.
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh.
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do,
got a honey jar stuck on his nose.
He came to me asking help and advice
and from here no one knows where he goes.
So I sent him to ask of te Owl if he's there,
how to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear
So, help me if you can I've got to get
back to the house at Pooh corner by one
You'd be surprized there's so much to be done,
count all the bees in the hive,
chase all the clouds from the sky .
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh,
back to the days of Christopher Robin,
back to the ways of Pooh

This world would no doubt be one of the more relaxing stops on Doug's Walk (or Vacation)

I think this is a good song for Doug when he goes to war on someone..or something
You Know My Name (Theme Song to Casino Royale)
Performed by Chris Cornell
If you take a life do you know what you'll give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes I've deceived?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
If you come inside things will not be the same
When you return to the knives
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we have been playing
I've seen this diamond cut through harder men
Than you yourself
But if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
(Forget how to feel)
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
(Spin of the wheel)
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you ready to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
(You know my name)
You know my name
(You know my name)
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
I can see this song playing when Doug puts the hammer down on a villain.

So, yeah. Nagato and Mikuru and Koizumi all think that she's the one behind warping reality all over the place. But, see, she wants life to be interesting and entertaining...
And they're hiding from her. Her life is, well, as dull as it can be given her personality.
Kyon's, on the other hand...
Or I could be completely off base because of having my viewing aborted indefinitely by computer troubles. But didn't his opening narration say that he had once wanted to believe in Haruhi's kind of crazy crap, but gave up on it as he grew up? And exactly who in this series ends up with the hot girlfriend, anyway?
Ja, -n
