Where shall I send the penguins? Or would you prefer a visit from the Time Chicken?

[marginaliana]

I am guessing that Time Chicken is a community in-joke and yet now I want to write a sci-fi story about a time-traveling chicken, so. Thanks for the inspiration? Or a fist shake for the distraction from the current project? Some of both, I guess. :D

[xandromedovna]

To my knowledge the Time Chicken is a new addition to the party, thought it's possible ze has retroactively added hirself to the timeline for continuity's sake. These things happen. At any rate I'm sure ze'd appreciate fic written about/inspired by hir :D

The Time Chicken was a joke that even predates me on the comm, which is saying something. It's never been one of the major riffs, like the penguins and the glowsticks, but does pop up from time to time (as it were). I think it had something to do with Doctor Who -- the first generation of 'Rushers were mostly Whovians. One of the regulars had an icon showing a chicken in Time Lord regalia.

I did write a mini-crackfic about the Time Chicken during one of our rounds way back, when we were blaming it for confusion related to Daylight Savings Time.

I think I will need the expertise of both dinosaurs. Set the Time Chicken to three hours ago and the penguins to the following coordinates:

4.8.15/16.23.42

Thanks! My hero

New show rabbit holes are so tricky! They come when you least expect.

The library opened so I took a break. I walked over, returned some library books, picked up a book I had on hold, and then ate lunch. Now I'm back to write up more news stories, haha.

[xandromedovna]

They really do; libraries also tend to be rabbit holes for me too though haha
