As always, I laugh out loud when I read one of your hilarious fics! Great bits:

Quote
We have a guide! Her name in the local tongue is BreeGirl; I will call her Bob.
This was just so "What?" that I had to laugh. (Unless I'm missing some subtle reference. Which would be common for me. I'm clueless.)

Quote
The grounds behind the village are a dark and depressing place, filled with scrolls that have been divided into fragments. Many of them are incomplete, never to see the light of day. I shuddered at the sight of dangling half-parchments whose original scribes had vanished, either dead or seized by madness and gone from the village. Truly, the creation of these scrolls is a difficult and dangerous enterprise.
Um...could this be a metaphor for....the MB's? Huh? Huh? smile

But I think you might have a typo here:

It has long since been lost to the raging anals of time...
I think you mean the annals of time. Unless that was part of the humor...

Whoops - was betaing in IRC and missed that one...

I'll let Queenie address the BreeGal thing [as well as the boards thing... we did in IRC...]

I still love it though!

Carol
Bob?

Incidentally, are there any L&C / Blackadder crossovers?

I'm guessing the Temple is the Nfic archive?
Queenie, this was hilarious clap

Of course, now I wonder what he scroll was that made it into the temple but never into the sacred burial grounds.

And here I thought Queenie never ventured into that "sacred temple". "If I never see civilization again, I am content." Mmm-hmmmm, being in the "temple" is that good, eh? goofy

Another funny look into the unique world of FoLCdom.
Searching for a story lately, Queenie? *g* Uh, and welcome to the dark side of FoLCdom. laugh Are you going to add to the scrolls there?

I loved this when you posted it on IRC, and I love it now. It's great!

The BreeGirl reference is funnier if you've been on the IRC channel... and that's all I'm going to say for now. I'll let Queenie explain. *wanders off whistling, then giggles lots* I still find calling her "Bob" hilarious, though.
When I first read this, I thought (between guffaws, chortles, snorts, and giggles) that BreeGirl was either a refugee from or a convert to Lord Of The Rings fanfic (Bree being the town/tavern where four of the Nazgul almost trapped Frodo and his companions). I could be wrong, though, and I will be interested to learn to whom this appellation belongs.

Oh, and the story was hysterical, too. This is the hardest I've laughed at fanfic since "Folcs In The Mist." Great story! And I loved the way you told it, with journal entries. It gives it a feeling of verisimilitude and authenticity.

More! More! Brava! clap clap clap

Um, I can explain! dizzy It's been a long time, and whether I'll go back now that my sanity is restored is up in the air at the moment. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. huh There are some nice fics there, though. smile (/me wonders if that "Merry Christmas Lois Lane series was ever finished...)

As for breegirl, you will have to come to IRC. All will become clear to you then. And if it doesn't, then you should come anyway and we'll explain it to you there. *g*

So, for those of you clamoring for a sequel to FoLCs in the Mist, this is what you got instead. Like it? cool
Well, it's not exactly a sequel, but it will have to do. laugh

About the Merry Christmas series - no, it's never been finished. And I happen to know that Nancy had a few ideas about Clark's birthday and Valentine's Day, too. Maybe I should try nagging her again. wink

Reminiscent of the time I got lost in the NY subway. The things that live down there...
Another winner from Queenie. We love thee, oh, Mary, Queen of the Potts ...er, Capes.

This sounds very much like some of those online quest games. So where’s the game? smile

It is less hallowed than the main burial ground, and many scrolls are damaged or incomplete.
Must be why “someone” recommended I read this fic.


Quote

Guilty as charged...

siezed by madness
Yeah, yeah, yeah... that’s me. Madder than a wet hen... The sky is falling. The sky is falling.

Hmm... I believe she is talking about those unfinished fics...


The temple refers to nfic?


Quote
There are some nice fics there, though. (/me wonders if that "Merry Christmas Lois Lane” series was ever finished...)
Awww... me blushes. I’m glad to know you liked the fic. I guess I should work on this, huh?

Are there really that many people on IRC these days?

Mellie nags a lot... Since she was so influential in the second part of that series, perhaps she needs to be co-author on the next part?


Great fic, Mary!!

Yes. Yes you should.

Depending what time you pop in, there's at least three regulars these days. Sometimes more. If you drop by, there'd be at least 4 of us. smile (and the ficus is still there, too)

Great fic, Mary!!
