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!

Pathways vampire AU
Date: 2010-10-06 10:12 pm (UTC)But you're actually right, the Pathways universe is incredibly complicated, with multiple storylines, and eating up new fandoms as I go. Beside the obvious (vampire) ones, it has eaten "Criminal Minds", "QAF", "Poltergeist: The Legacy", to only mention the biggest ones.

Date: 2010-10-07 04:09 pm (UTC)Maybe it'd be easier to handle if you just write one-shots or shorter stories for these new characters and different plots rather than try to fit it all into one or two big stories?
Re: Pathways vampire AU
Date: 2010-10-07 04:39 pm (UTC)Most of its existing parts *are* short stories, actually, like "Favourite Son" or "The Return of Forrest Gates" or "The Path of Wolves", which focuses on Oz (from Buffy), or, indeed, "The Road Not Taken"... and a few others, including one-shots.
The problem is that I've been writing in this alternate universe for so long that certain parts start contradicting each other and very few still match the original concept. *le sigh*
