Round 30, Hour 9

[thisbluespirit]

Hellooo! Happy Rushiversary, peoples! This is your emergency stunt mod dropping in for the fabulous isdon_isgood9, who has been forced to leave us (temporarily). It is not known whether glowsticks, alien fish, ninja penguins, or words were involved.

I have no gifs, but I hope the writing is going well? Is anybody here?

I'm going to post this, but then I will edit it with celebratory rushiversary pics. (Celebratory pics in this case meaning anything vaguely happy in my Photobucket. It will therefore probably baffle the world with wilful obscurity and sad lack of penguins.)


Balloons!


Once upon a time, a light bulb lit up in studyofrunning's head, as she had a marvellously bright idea:




Somebody forgot to tell Colin a party was going on. Either that, or Peter is just over-dressed.

Need help?

Go to fic_rush!


"It's Fic_rush's third birthday."

CONGRATULATIONS, fic_rush!



"Good work, chaps! Carry on."


Dayna approves of all the explosions in this anniversary round.


"Look, I've dressed up as a penguin! Now we can go ton the fic_rush party! Everybody's wearing their penguin outfits!"

I have no penguins, here is a cat:



"Good morning, madam. I hear you've been having trouble with bonsai giraffes..."


Happy Rushiversary!

Anyway, fic_rush and its rushers are awesome, congrats - HUGS all round!!







We end this feeble excuse for a celebratory picspam with a warning: the forces of evil are always waiting to visit us with evil penguins and prevent writing from happening. Do not be deceived, no matter how nice they look:

(The beard is always a dead giveaway).


(Apologies if that was an overlarge picspam for anyone's internets. It definitely won't happen again.)

I take it someone going to be doing the next hour?

Barely any words written in the last few hours, bleh. Gonna attempt to write a little more, and then probably get some sleep. Good luck to anyone still awake! See y'all later today! ♥

Goodnight! :-)

I got caught staring all the stunning nail polish colors available (it's research! I swear!) but I'm getting back to the writing right about...now-ish. (alright, I might make some more coffee)

[thisbluespirit]

:lol: I believe you. After all, it's a fic_rush rule that everything totally counts as research. (Which is true, really.)

Good luck with that... :-)

[a-q.livejournal.com]

That is my favorite of all fic_rush rules! Definite research, not at all thinking what shade of candy pink I should buy next :P
(authors nail polish choice is a crucial part of writing process! Wrong shade can turn a romance plot to horror, let me tell you)

:lol: Brilliant! You're so right - glittery varnish can abruptly induce an SF au, or black may produce a work of unrelentingly grim nihilism. Purple for when the author is a wordy and poetic mode, and you have to be really careful with blue. One shade brings about angst, and the other just gets rapidly NSFW.

(Er. Why, yes. I am distracted from my getting up by contemplating the Rules of the Effects of Nail Varnish on Writing. I'm relieved I don't wear any. Funnily enough, though, I write unvarnished realism.*)

(*That is totally untrue. ;-p)

Wonderful celebratory pictures! What in the world is that one with Peter and Colin? I MUST WATCH THIS!!!

Well, not right now. But soon. Now I need to go back to work.

[thisbluespirit]

Yes, it turns out I have surprising amounts of Peter in my photobucket - and here was me thinking I only had David Collings...

It was an interview with Russell Harty - it was one of the extras on the special edition of Caves, I think. (I'm pretty sure someone'll put it on YouTUbe as well!) And, yes, it's really fun. There is NO EXCUSE for Peter's outfit, and Colin is all happy about being the Doctor and doesn't know what's about to happen to him.

Yes, work!! *looks sternly*

PICSPAM FTW!!!

[lolmac]

OMG, I remember that interview!! Peter wore the fancy dress simply because he had it. It was brilliant.

LOVELOVELOVE the caption on Silver with the light bulb!! Love them all!

Also love how this comm takes care of itself so well when unexpected things happen!

Peter wore the fancy dress simply because he had it.

I know. Although I can't help but think really he must have been either on his way to or from something else. :lol:

Silver + light bulb = ♥ (Or at least, that was what happened to me when I watched Assignment 3. I've never been the same since. Or maybe it was before that, when he stole the doorknob...)

Thank you, anyway.

And, yes. I'm sure Glinda would have stepped in or something, but it was exactly the sort of thing that had happened on the round I suggested I become emergency mod, so it was quite fun to have it happen and this time have the POWER to save fic_rush. ;-)

Re: PICSPAM FTW!!!

[lolmac]

BTW, I also really enjoyed the pics instead of gifs. Most gifs make my eyes hurt, alas.

Next hour's mod is present and correct (now 80% less sleepy)

[thisbluespirit]

Hurrah! And good morning. *passes the glowstick*

I'm off to get dressed and rest and things.

[glinda-penguin.livejournal.com]

*catches glowstick*

Enjoy your rest! :D

I'm so glad I looked back to see what I missed while I was sleeping! EXCELLENT picspam!!! :-)

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thanks! It was a bit of desperate rifling through my photobucket account - glad you liked it. Hopefully no one else would go awol, so I thought I'd seize my chance to add to the celebrations!
