Yay you! (And, um, did you send me the thing you were going to? Because if you did, I need to do a brisk troll through my spam folder and see if the new spam filter hates you as much as the old one did.)

Hey. Sometimes we have to get drunk and read epic guiltypleasurefic until the wee hours. This is a fine and rational behavior, practiced in moderation. (Guiltypleasurefic = nature's stress reliever! Um. I don't suppose you wish to link me to what you were reading?)

I don't know hwy I'm telling you that bit, though.

Because you know I'd want to know. *cheers your secret Christmas decorating ways*

ALSO I HAVE STARTED MY YULETIDE STORY. I do not know enough about economics to write this argh.

YAY YOU. Also, I know a very small amount about economics! Best Beloved knows a somewhat larger amount! And our research skills lie at your disposal, should you require them. (My own Yuletide story requires research about San Francisco. Obviously, I will be trying the friends-list shortcut on that one.)

Oh my god, I thought they were IMPOSSIBLE TO EMULATE

OH, HOW WRONG I WAS

Oh, man. This is amazing.

*thrilled*

Thank you!

Oh my god, I thought they were IMPOSSIBLE TO EMULATE

Well, if I managed to do it here, then this is the key: a fever. Seriously. This whole thing came to me while I was waiting for my fever to break this afternoon. Illness is the secret ingredient in the Penny Arcade stew!

You are like the epitome of everything I love about fandom. This. This right here is why fandom can stand with pride next to any other field of human endeavour.

(Attention, other readers of L.A. I am opening a pool on how long until Gabe links to this post. Get in early!)

[littera_abactor]

If you had mentioned that you longed for Gabe/Tycho slash, I would so have written you some years ago.

Actually, no. I take that back. Obviously, I had to wait for inspiration (and illness) to strike, and it didn't strike until today. But I would have DEDICATED this to you, had I but known.

You are like the epitome of everything I love about fandom.

I think I'm going to put that on my resume. You make an awesome reference.

This right here is why fandom can stand with pride next to any other field of human endeavour.

*nods*

When I next think the world is sad and lonely, I will remind myself a) that I slashed Gabe and Tycho and b) other people liked it. And that will make the sun shine again, for sure.

*loves all of fandom*

I have been attempting to make the universe supply me with PA slash since November 20, 2005.

[littera_abactor]

...Either I didn't see that post (possible, since it was perfectly timed for last year's pre-Yuletide meltdown) or I had forgotten about it.

It is like a wrap-up of all that is good and slashy about Penny Arcade. May I link to it in the notes up there? Some people may be wondering who these people are.

(Also, wow. It worked! You changed the universe in less than one year. I am impressed. Do you do requests?)

[packmentality]

HAHAHAHA! OMG, I think I broke something. Ow. Oh, Tycho and Gabe. Guh. Freaking spectacular, man. Wow.

[littera_abactor]

I - I think I love you. You used the word "guh" in a comment on a story about Gabe and Tycho having sex under the influence of a video game.

You are the most wonderful person ever, and I plan to print this comment and possibly frame it.

*presses CTRL-P with PRIDE*

[packmentality]

Hee! Yay! I will totally use "guh" to describe any Tycho/Gabe story EVER. Why is there not more Tycho/Gabe in the world? Why?!

[littera_abactor]

It's a mystery to me. They cry out to be slashed. (You've seen Grace's wangsaber story, right? That's the only other Penny Arcade FF I know of, although I'm hoping someone will sidle in here soon with a link to a whole raft of stories I've missed.)

[callmesandy]

HILARIOUS. And also awesome.

[littera_abactor]

Thank you!

*joyful*
