Misanthropy

Another Crackiversary has come and gone, but the knights are still partying hard (much to Arthur's chagrin--you should see the mess they've made).

If you want to play the Crackiversary Party Game (and you know you do) there's still time, but your answers are due tomorrow, let's say at midnight EST. However, if anyone wants an extension until Saturday, I think I can convince Kay, who's grading the papers. Just let me know.

Also, although personally I think it would be more fun to try to answer the questions off the top of your head (Tor says he's the answer to every question, btw), I will point out at the following tags. Resurrection fic will take you to the chapters of the story along with any interludes, crackiversary fic, etc. The resurrection au tag will take you to just about everything I've ever said about teh crack, including memes and Q&As.

Resurrection Day Plus 3: A Day in the Life at D’Aubigny Manor

Summary: Eighty-eight lines A lot more damned words than I was planning about forty-four women thirty-nine knights, plus an Arthur.

( Crackiversary! )

I don’t know why it took me three years to think of this, but what’s a party without music? Here are some of the songs I’ve been listening to over the last three years while I’ve been working on teh crack. Most of them have lyrics that have some connection for me to the fic itself, even if it might be an obscure one, but most are fairly obvious. (Some might even hold clues ;) ). One song per month. If you guys like this, we’ll do it again next year, because there are a lot more songs, and it’s pretty unlikely I’ll be done . . . .

(Songs aren't familar? Want to have a listen? Go play the Crackiversary Party Game.)

Crackiversary poll is still running (go have your say if you’re inclined). For those of you who’ve had your say already, I love you people, but you’re also crazy. We currently have a tie between wanting crackiversary fic and telling me to stop procrastinating on the next chapter—many of you taking the opportunity to vote for both. Apparently, it isn't clear that writing crackiversary fic is procrastination on the chapter, but whatever. ;)

enemyfrigate wrote what I'll call an AU AU for the Resurrection series for the crackiversary! It's narrated by Lancelot's sister after Lancelot has been conscripted, and, while it makes some interesting use of my ideas and themes from the series, I think it stands really well on its own (although why would you be reading this post if you're not reading teh crack?--although I suppose all things are possible).

Anyway, I think you should all go read it!

(Posting tonight after midnight, since I'm not sure what my day tomorrow will be like. )

It’s two years today since I posted the first story in teh crack saga Resurrection. When I wrote the first little snippet, I never intended to write a sequel, much less a series, but here we are 131,500 words and 15 (only counting the main body) fics later.

Many thanks to livigiano, who drew this lovely picture of our anti-hero for the occasion. Thanks again Livi!

Also lessy37, who always makes such wonderful icons, made me some updated icons for the new year (never thought I'd still be writing this in 2008 *_*), one of which adorns this post. Thanks Lessy!

For my part, you'll find a crackiversary fic here, and you'll find my "answers" to the questions I was asked about the series here.

If anyone has anything they want to share, feel free to post in the comments to this post.

Happy crackiversary to one and all. :D

In the spirit of the Crackiversary, I opened the floor to any questions you guys wanted to ask. I’m really honored that some of you took the time to come up with questions. But it turns out that this was not one of my better ideas, since, of course, now I’m not really going to answer most of the questions. If the U.S. primaries haven’t made you utterly sick of the whole dodging the question thing, here are the questions and my often not so answering answers. Enjoy. ;)

( Crackiversary Q&A )

Just a reminder, in case anyone else wants to play: if you have questions you want to ask go here. (If you don't know what I'm talking about and are curious, go there as well).

Since I'm pretty busy right now, I'm going to have to have to impose a deadline for questions. So, if you want to ask something, please do so by Saturday, January 19.

Nine more days until the crackiversary!

Being the lucky girl that I am, I--okay, sorry, actually Lancelot (sheeze, he's pushy) being the adored person that he is, the crackiversary was great fun for us (and I hope you guys). If you haven't already, check out:

fisher_queen did some hilariously crack motivational posters. I'm still snickering.

sasha_b did her take of one of the five things meme questions (The 5 things Lancelot hates the most about the 21st century, and the one thing he loves (excluding Arthur, of course)) here (which Lancelot approves of) and then wrote me (shut up, Lancelot--it's mine) a fic (!!!) set in teh crack. If you haven't read it, go right now--it's fabulous.

And then lessy37 made me the bestest icons ever, one of which is posted here, and this banner, which Lancelot is sure all of you are jealous of (but he does wonder why it is that Arthur gets more than half of the space, when everyone knows that he's the star?). :p



And thanks to all of you who commented and said such nice such things. : ) I'm really just full of glee that you guys have been enjoying the story.

*falls over dead from the happy squee*

And there are also my gifts for the occasion: if you haven't, go read the five question meme answers. It turned rather epic and just might have some hints about what's going on with that whole plot thing. Maybe. ; ) And also, Resurrection ficlet interlude is here.

Anyway, while, sadly, teh crackiversary is over, teh crack shall go on. (Just don't ask me exactly when.) And maybe we'll have teh Crackiversary II: The Revenge of Agravaine in a year or so (cause at the rate I'm going, I'm probably still going to be writing this then). : )

And the knights are still trying to clean up all the shredded wrapping paper, empty bottles, and the messy remains of the food fight. But no one is telling Galahad that he is still wearing the gift-wrap bows that Tor stuck in his hair.

Here are the five things meme answers. Wow, that was a lot. : ) I think I might have exceeded the maximum number of cuts lj allows for an entry, so it’s actually broken down into two posts. Second post is linked at the bottom.

And also, I’m getting the feeling that some of you really like Tristan. In my unscientific survey, he and Lancelot tied for person with the most questions mentioning them (9) and Arthur came in a close second (8). Everyone else was left in the dust: Only four questions relating to the knights in general, Dinaden had three, Galahad two, and Gawain, Gaheris and Merlin one each.

BTW, Bors is quite offended no one asked questions about him, especially since someone asked a question about that creepy Merlin. And you’ve made Tor cry. (Kay has been trying to console him by telling him that out of the non-movie knights, only Dinaden and Gaheris got named in any questions, but actually, deep down, Kay’s a little miffed too—mostly on Dagonet’s behalf.) (Agravaine is making snarky remarks about how the only reason Dinaden got on the list is because all those questions are really about Tristan and how Gaheris wouldn’t have made it either if it weren’t for Gawain and Galahad and people’s prurient interest in threesomes.)
