The moorland outside Hogwarts grounds was foggy this time of year. Despite the air's appearance as an immobile curtain, a chill breath of winter seemed to move through the lowlands. The air cut through cloak, trouser and flesh into the bones.

He says "ouch".
Then Actionhero finishes a leap by smashing in through the front glass. In moments, the establishment is more riddled with bullet holes than Swiss cheese. (Which is to say, it is considerably filled with them.)
((As an aside, I note that the default "Show this entry to" is Members and that Public is not an option. However, upon editing my own entry the "Public" option is no longer grayed out and can be selected.)) |

Alright, I had some difficulty posting the previous bit. Trouble with LJ. Misspellings. Not enough /fic. But I think I have edited it passably. It ought to be read-able now.
I ought to have mentioned earlier, this story arc takes place before the events of Valentine's Day, which was years back and we still have yet to write our way out of. But I think this is more interesting. In it, Wheel and Weaver Black (The Double Double U's) visit Hogwarts in the guise of semi-ignorant (re: normal) children.

It's official: I am bored. The kind of self-destructive boredom which spawns derivative works of fantasy in one's mind...

In case anyone out there still has this on the ol’ LJ radar…
I’m continuing an old storyline here, but it’s been so damn long since the last time that I thought I’d just post the first part as well. This continues with more origin crap for Doctor Curare, and his first adventure in Rio de Janeiro. I wrote the first part of this after seeing “City of God” for the first time. It’s a fantastic movie, and I just learned that another movie from the same folks called “City of Men” is getting released soon. The trailer’s online if you care to check it out and it looks promising. So, it reminded me that I never finished this little thing.
( RioCollapse )
Well, you have probably realized by now that I’m just gonna keep on writing this stuff when I find the time and the inspiration, regardless of whether people still want to read it or join in. I’ve seen real life wreak all sorts of havoc on this little community we brought together. I’m not claiming credit for the invention nor the organization of the community, of course. I’m just proud that I’ve gotten to be a part of it. But this community has suffered the all-too-real loss of friendships and of friends. The loss of love and of loves. And these stories are just fanciful escapist yarns starring surreal versions of our superegos.
Be that as it may, these stories have given me an outlet for creativity and a source of enjoyment unlike any other, which I truly appreciate. An outlet for a thirst for storytelling that started when I was very young, first dreaming of a heroic character I simply called the CrimeStopper (abbreviated as CS, for the few that might recognize that). Later I discovered that Dick Tracy had that little moniker on lockdown, which depressed a younger me hell-bent on originality (and not yet quite grasping the horrific unoriginality of that name for a character that… stops… crimes). Now this more mature, more developed character that I was admittedly only about half-responsible for creating ( wsasianboy had more than a hand in Curare’s creation) has kept my creative juices flowing. So, a day late (it's still Friday according to the me-clock), I wanted to mention these stories and this community as one of the things that I’m truly thankful for. I don’t put that much stock in the traditional celebration of Thanksgiving, and if that historical banquet ever did take place, we sure paid those Injuns back, by Gawd! I can take the day as an excuse, however, to reflect on the things that are important to me (and listen to “Alice’s Restaurant,” goddammit!). I don’t have to attach any religious significance to them. There’s no saying “grace” involved. I can just admit to myself that some things in my life make it considerably better and are worth acknowledging. And this is one of them. Thanks to all of you.
Pura vida. |

Hat trick. Boom.
We here at Aztechnology have been missing the good Doctor. Plus the stories have started to get a little… moody, perhaps? Serious? With exposition and dialogue and shit. Time to bring the sophistication level down a notch. Time to pull out the stops. For the fans, you understand. It’s all for the fans.
(and watch for the genre switchup. It’s an old Hero trick.)

Sorry, I don’t have a link to the song or anything, but I trust in your savvy with those rascally interwebs (YouTube’s an easy way to hear it). What song, you ask? You didn’t read the story yet, did you? Don’t read this part ‘til you finished the story, you big cheater.
Oh… and FUCK YOU Dean. You’re not getting off easy for missing NOLA (and the US in general, so it would appear), ‘cause you’re cutting a Cat 5 swath through parts of Mexico I LOVE, like the Yucatan and Veracruz. You’re smashing places like Tulum, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, the Belize Zoo (yes, it’s in Belize, but it’s cool and run by an NC alum), and running directly through Chetumal on the Belize border. Ruins, mangrove forests, wildlife… you bastard! So Dean, I’m gonna kick you right in the junk (or flying debris, whichever term applies)… after you miss me and calm the hell down. You’re on notice! Fucker.
…but thanks for any effects on Cancun. Heh heh heh. What? You’re not completely destroying Cancun. That’s it. It’s on.
My luck with these hurricane things seems to be getting worse. Shit. |

Here’s the next chapter of this new Valley storyline. Made to order! Fresh to death! Filled with fictional characters that are barely-masked renditions of real NC characters! Feel the wave of nostalgia wash over you, soaking you to the bone with sopping wet memories! Get all misty-eyed and shit. Or just read this thing for the made up characters that I created from pop culture figures or off the top of my goddamn head. Not to mention dinosaurs! And PORN!!!!
there is no porn.
there is only Zhul.

(mmmm, Zhulporn) |

Is anybody here? Avon calling! I’m sorry, but your front door was open, I thought something might be wrong! Hello? Are you in one of these rooms? I was just hoping… Oh! There you are. Admiring the view out the window, eh? Well, it is a beautiful day. Let me just turn you around and have a good look at you.
…
OH MY GOD!!! Is that…? Are you OK? How long have you been sitting in here?! No, don’t try to move. Stay still. I’ll get anything you need. Look, I’m bringing someone in. A specialist. He can revive you. He can bring you back. Make you better than you were before. Better… stronger… well, you’ve always been a slow read, but we can work on that too. He’s on his way. Together we can pick up the pieces and start anew.
…oh, by the way, could I interest you in a moisturizer?
First, mesdames y messieurs, a light appertif. Do not fret… you shall be satiated by the close of this deluxe textual feast. But patience is what you must bring to the table. Of course, at the end you will also have to deal with the bill. And this place ain’t cheap. I’m dishin’ out fried gold cuisine here, betches!
( “StrangeNature”Collapse )
The rest of this tale will take place a few years after this little story. You'll get the idea soon enough. I gots faith in ya!
“That was nothing, man. This is about to go off!” |
