User kickthehobbit referenced to your post from LJ Idol Week 11: Recommendations! saying: [...] give a shoutout to , for writing this fantastic, irreverent piece about time-travel to match mine [...]

I love the idea of a radio host available to all the timelines, and getting call-ins from everywhen. :)

Damien Hirst. He's leaving his shit all over the place.

Ha! What a lovely take! MINDBLOWING!!!...I wish you work on this world more and get it published somehow..Good job again...KUDOS!!

[icaruslived]

Oh jeez thank you! I dunno about publishing, but I'm really happy you liked it so much!

It makes me wonder how many people are actually listening to his show, or if it's just a dozen folks but iterated over time.

...Now that's a depressing as crap idea. Why you gotta be that way, huh? Now I've got to go scrub that idea out of my head so I can like the piece again :p

[beeker121]

Ack! I didn't mean to be depressing, honest. Just ignore me.
