Stuff

I am trying to write something for trope bingo, but...it's me. It'll be more dialogue and essay than narrative with action.

It's possible that I will do something really goofy and not story at all for trope bingo, if I can get it to fit a trope. Like game elements based on only tangentially-relevant works....

I had apparently missed four installments of Grrl Power, a twice-a-week webcomic, and I know I'm much more behind than that on Bad Machinery/Bobbins/whatever John Allison is doing right now. I just in the last day caught up on Scandinavia and the World too.

I just added waterfall8484 to my flist, on the basis that she liked Grrl Power, and had an icon with Pinkie Pie bouncing up and down.

I have been reading a little bit more fic--mainly Narnia fic. I got to one of rthstewart's which most likely will get a snarky comment in one of my bingo tropes.

I really liked edenfalling's Out of Season, and am starting on the sequels...soon?

Friday I read a couple of albums of Marvel comics.

One was Thanos Rising. Grim and bloody it was. But the artist, Simone Bianchi, managed to hit notes that kind of evoked a lot of trippy artists I like, from Ian Gibson to Esteban Maroto to Larry Stroman. I was a bit befuddled by one thing. Is that bit with him destroying the inhabitants of Titan meant to be in the future of the main Marvel timeline?

The other was just the first five issues of the Gillen/McKelvie Young Avengers. Not even really a complete arc, bah.

So, if I'm doing trope_bingo, somehow, how do I get invited to join AO3?

yes i am aware that i am referring to things without explication

Oh, yeah, more musing about trope bingo. (My card is here.)

I think at least one entry (or whatever they are called) will be Narnia meta (mostly). I actually have that maybe a quarter written already.

But I am bemused that at the moment there is a good chance that my bingo will not involve lots of Narnia, Wonder Woman, and/or Yotsuba-verse. There may be really subtle allusions to Wondy and W. M. Marston, and maybe a couple of entries will be very Narnia, but I don't think I'm going to fit in "Gaga meets Koiwai" as a bingo.

Nope, the current plan is to try to do a AU fairytale of Sean Saves the World (but I need plot for that); an angry fixfic/anti-fic (is that even a word) with a really weird version of Queen Swanwhite; a weird night out in the Underground part of Philippe Keyaerts's Small World; and a rambling meta on Narnia that takes an odd turn by the end. And possibly another Small World fic, that was going to be my "fairytale/myth" entry, but ended up not quite making sense in that spot.

Also this: When I come up with ideas, they are often fannish fusion wackiness that doesn't really match much on the bingo card.

But I did come up with plot for a story that could actually be a postage stamp, and then realized it was all new characters in my head. I could pretend that the main character is Sara from QC in a timeline averted by her being eaten by an allosaurus, or just have Dark Angel pop up at the end and say, "Hello, Princess!" but those feel like cheating. So, I may not write it. (It was kind of based on a friend's traumatic day anyway, and went in a pessimistic direction from there, so that may be just as well.)
