Party time ahead!

[wiseheart]

Well, yes, dear folks, it's this time of the year again. The big, one-week virtual party from today to the 9th of October starts here. Come on in, be welcome, make yourself comfortable, and post a comment. May we have many collapsed threads again!

Last year we had 559 comments on 4 pages, which is an impressive record to break. But I have an excellent apple pie in the oven, and offer a virtual slice to every party guest.

Let's party!

Addition: someone asked for the apple pie recipe. Here it is, behind the cut.


400 gr wheat flour
200 gr butter or margarine
200 gr sugar
1/10 litre sour cream
1 pinch of salt
ground peel of 1/lemon
2 gr baking soda

For the filling:
2 kg apples
sugar,cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and ground lemon peel as you like

One eggyolk for painting the top.

How to make it?
1) Make a dough from abovementioned ingredients.
2) Cut it in two equal pieces. Roll out one piece, lay it into a baking tin (baking paper under it is helpful).
3) Spread some dried bread crubms all over it.
4) Peel and plane (slice???) the apples, press out the juice with your hands (it shouldn't be too dry, though) and mix them with the spices.
5) Spread the apples over the dough.
6) Roll out the other half of the dough. Cover the apples with it.
7) Paint the top with eggyolk and bake it in a pre-heated oven, on 200°C for twenty minutes.
8) Cut it when it's cooled down.

Sorry, but I had to use the metric system. My brain doesn't work in cups and pounds and that stuff. I hope you can still figure out how much you need from the ingredients.



Addition: I also wish to gift upon my dear party guests a birthday-present, Hobbit-style: Chapter 03 - Puer Natus Est Nobis of my Cadfael fic "Sparrows" has just been posted to hiddenrealms and to FF.Net. Enjoy!

And the end results are: 735 comments on 6 pages! It's more than I could have dreamed of, and I thank you - all of you - who contributed to this record. It will be a hard one to break next year indeed, but I hope you'll be back. :)

Thanks again, I had a fantastic time and met great new people - it was fun!

Yay, Rhade! *hugs Rhade* We really should write something Nietzschean together. Like Ty/Rhade smut... erm, I meant beautiful Niet eroticism, of course!

Tomorrow, I'll only have one lesson, so God will, so there's hope. Unless a collegaue falls ill or my boss gets creative.

Tyr! *tackles Tyr*

*giggles and nods* Yeah, it wouldn't be about the smut at all, it would be about worshipping the perfection of the Nietzscheans and uh... yeah, pointing out how superior they are *grins and polishes her halo*

Good luck tomorrow, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

We could write a deliberate crackfic about Tyr and the resurrected Gaheris, full of purple prosa, loving descriptions of the masculine beauty of our protagonists and mutual boasting from the guys' side to impress - and intimidate - each other.

We could write it as a roleplay on . Or as a Round Robin. I could set up the basics and we could write the stuff as inspiration hits, in the form of comments within a single entry. ;)

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[artemis10002000]

Yeah, that sounds fun!

Either roleplay or round robin would work for me, since I've neither seriously tried to write Tyr or Gaheris before (I might have done a few half-hearted attempts at fanfic once, don't remember, but it never turned out anything worthwile anyway.) I can't promise I can hit their voice, but I can try XD And it being crack gives more leeway anyway.

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Or we could create a cosy little comm for RP-ing or Round Robin purposes and invite a few people to play with us?

I'd like to play/write Tyr, if it's all right with you. Would you be willing to do Gaheris. No, not that way, although you might get your turn with him during the plot.

I love crackfic. I write so much drama and deep character introspection and stuff as a rule, that crack is a real delight. I remember having hysterical fun writing "Special Unit 3", despite the fact that it was absolute crack.

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[artemis10002000]

I know exactly what you mean when you say writing crack is a delight! That's part of the reason I love these robots I RP so much. They're both dumb as bricks, but it's such a nice change for once! Whenever I set out writing a light-hearted original story, it ends up being dark and serious, I just can't help myself! I end up giving even the comical characters angsty storylines (although characters on the verge of comedy and tragedy or psychopathy are sooo much fun to write, they're one of my guilty pleasures.)

Yeah, you're welcome to have Tyr :) And I'll do Gaheris, in this way or that way *winks*

Inviting a couple people sounds good :) I'm not set on anything, really. Whatever works out! *grins*

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

We can always start the insanity and *then* invite other people, so that they'd see what's expected of them. I assume we'll need the complete Andromeda crew, right?

Are you going to create the new comm or do you want me to do it? I don't think an RPG would work on otherworlds_lib all that well.

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[artemis10002000]

No, that would be too confusing on othersworld_lib, the RP thread(s) would be lost amidst the stories.

Since you have experience with comms, would you do it? I've never created a comm.

Well, the Andromeda has a pretty small crew, so it might be possible to get the whole crew!

Starting first so people know what they're getting into sounds like a good idea :)

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Will do. We need a good name, though. A catchy one, as Ianto would say. All I can think of is "The Nietzschean Web", but that is 1) the title of a story I'm already plannig to write one day, and 2) not catchy enough.

Creating a conn is pretty easy, though. I just klicked on the link and followed the instructions. You can imagine how easy it is if even I managed to do it, techno-wheenie that I am. ;)

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[artemis10002000]

I'm far too tired to think of a name, catchy or otherwise right now, but I'll see if I can think of some ideas :)

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Well, there's no hurry, after all. :)

I have a vague idea how to start it - actually, we can steal the idea from the fanfic "Five Things That Never Happened to Gaheris Rhade" and go on from there, with our evil, evil twists.

I remember having read a fairly outrageous smutfic, written from Tyr's POV, in which he was called Hunt Daffa-Dilly. *g*

If we're having the whole Andromeda cast, which Trance would you prefer? The annoyingly perky purple one or the sinister golden one?

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[artemis10002000]

Hunt Daffa-Dilly
*rotfl*

I think perky purple Trance would work better for crack, but golden Trance is cool, too. Eh, I love my Trance either way XD

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Me, I prefer Her Purpleness, as Harper calls her. Hey, perhaps we can go along the line of the purple goddess Harper has seen in the All Systems University Library while it was in his head and turn her into some really trashy Deus Ex Machina???

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[artemis10002000]

Oh yes, that sounds fun!

Sorry, not very eloquent today, the flu has me fully in its grasp

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

That's okay. What do you think about naming the new comm (temporarily) gaheris_lives - unless the name is already taken. We can always change it if we no longer like it... I think. Or should it be rather gaheris_rules?

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[toughnrumble.livejournal.com]

While Gaheris would certainly prefer gaheris_rules, I'd say let's not feed his ego too much quite yet (as if it needs any more feeding, being a Nietzschean ego and thus superior in every way anyway! XD) and go with gaheris_lives?

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Your wish is my command - check your PM inbox at LJ... your other journal, I mean. *g*

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[artemis10002000]

I did and the new comm is very shiny indeed!

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[artemis10002000]

Also, I just saw that I have replied with my RP account several times here in this birthday party *headdesks* And I'd been so careful not to! XD I'm hopeless at juggling accounts!

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

That's all right, I did recognize the 'graceful' robot. ;)

Re: Niet smut... erm, admiring perfection

[toughnrumble.livejournal.com]

*lol*

The robot informs you since this is a thread about admiring perfection, it must be about him anyway!
