Happy birthday to steadfast!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR! <3

 I think I’ve already said all the cheesy things that need to be said about us in the A/N to your Christmas gift, so I’ll just thank you for the awesome year we’ve had and wish you many more.

  I’m afraid I really am stuck, and could only produce this. :( I’ll try writing something better soon!

 In honour of the number of times we've broken the fourth wall.
 

 The Manor was a flurry of activity; the cleaning crew was busy with the ballroom, people were rushing around with streamers and getting tangled up in crêpe paper, and Gabriel and Loki had been expressly forbidden from going anywhere near the kitchen.

  Inside the kitchen, Uriel was carefully icing a huge chocolate cake while Raphael checked on the rest of the food. In the lobby, Ishtar was preparing a relaxing blend, as Belial came out of the bar carrying several bottles of wine and Baraq tried to explain to Crowley why he and Aziraphale were on the floor and tangled in crêpe.

  A few hours later, everyone was assembled in the ballroom, waiting for Michael to lead the latest guest in and remove her blindfold. She blinked, looking dazed.

  “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEN!”

Also, I was messing about on Photoshop and it is really extremely hard to find two photos of Simon Baker and Santiago Figueras that look even vaguely similar enough (in terms of position, clothes and expression) to be edited into one picture. Also, I am still a relative newbie to Photoshop - this is my second time trying to do anything with it. Here you go!



... I'm trying to make a better one. xP

Edit: Here you go. Still not perfect, but I will make more. :P

Aieee! Happy birthday, Jen!

Screw that fourth wall, let's break the fifth and sixth wall while we're at it!

I... edited the post to add something. :X

xD How?

Thank you dear <3 23 I is now. Or, rather, was yesterday.

[cattygabriel]

Birthday happy, Yoda. ;)

Awww at the photoshop attempts <3

And xD at the story. I want to say that when I first read it I read it as Aziraphale and Baraq being tangled in a crepe, as in the French food, and I don't think any explanation would have sufficed for THAT xDD

I'd be way more than just dazed ifI ended up in the manor xDDDD

Thank you *GLOMPAGE*

[cattygabriel]

So they're pitiful. xP

LOL! No, indeed, no explanation for THAT. I meant crepe paper, dear. It was a private joke referring to the Shoebox Project which I doubt anyone else on this comm has read. :\ I know you haven't as it's a legend in the HP fandom but it made me smile while writing it.

I'd be an utterly crazy fangirl running around glomping everyone, lol, and get smote.

*GLOMPS BACK*

...I have read Shoebox, actually! Though I didn't connect the crepe paper bit to it. Awesome.

dah-nah-nah dah! dah! dah! dah! da dunnah dunnah, doodle oodle doodley doo, doo doo doo! dah nahnuh doodle oodle doo doodle oodle doo, doot doodle oodle doo doodle oodle doo...

Have you read Havemercy? It's co-written by one of the Shoebox writers.

[cattygabriel]

I LOVE YOU. *GLOMP*

I do believe in commas. I do, I do.

Nope! Got a link? :D

It's not online, I'm afraid, it's an original novel (http://www.amazon.com/Havemercy-Jaida-Jones/dp/0553806963). The writing is a little overwrought, since it's in first person and the POV alternates between the four main characters, three of whom actually talk the way they're written. (One of them, Royston, starts rambling on and on and ON in in beautifully-articulated circles whenever he's flustered. Which happens a lot.) It's hilarious and definitely as good as Shoebox, though. I still haven't gotten my hands on the sequel yet, which is annoying and remiss of me.

...The interests list in the thremedon fan community is actually a better plot summary than I thought.

I will keep an eye out for it! Aargh aargh I need a job and a credit card so I can buy things online.
