Jul. 23rd, 2008 @ 11:31 pm FANFIC - The Forbidden Martian Book of Forbidden Martian Things. - ROSE / M’GANN, shapeshifting.
Okay, here is the weird Martian Sex story I had promised. I wanted to write a really short one that could fit inside a comment… yeah, so much for that. At least this time I managed to get it under 2000 words! One day I’ll be able to write something small enough to fit a darn comment.

Anyway, someone wrote a story for this pairing and prompt already, but I was halfway through when I noticed, so screw it. Whoever asked for this pairing and prompt, it’s your lucky day cause you got two stories in a row!

Title: The Forbidden Martian Book of Forbidden Martian Things.
Fandom: DC comics, Teen Titans.
Rating: XXX for Alien sex.
Word Count: 1666.
Summary: Written for DCU Femlash Porn Battle with the prompt ‘Shapeshifting’.

“If you kill me, M’gann, I’ll come back as a vengeful ghost and burn down the Oreo factory.”  )

Jul. 19th, 2008 @ 03:11 am DCU: CASSIE / ROSE; Too Far, Golden Lasso.
I wrote a fanfic for the DCU Femlash porn battle.

I took two prompts and made one story. I hope there is not a problem with that. The story got a bit too large. I think I suck at really, really short fiction. I just get carried away. Yes, it’s 3571 words, but it’s 3571 porny words about Cassie and Rose, and that has to count for something! I have no clue who wrote those prompts and that pairing, but whoever you are, enjoy.

This is the porniest thing I have ver written, which doesn't mean much because this is the first time I wrte any, but it's kinda dirty and it scares me that I wrote it.

Title: Crossing Rivers.
Fandom: DC Comics, Teen Titans.
Rating: XXX
Characters/Pairing: Cassie / Rose.
Word Count: 3571.
Summary: Written for the DCU Femlash porn battle.
DCU: CASSIE / ROSE; Too Far, Golden Lasso.


Her panties where black and had a little pirate skull in the front. With that and her eye-patch she looked like a cute pornographic pirate. )

I just followed a link to a page called Language is a Virus that has a bunch of stuff for writers. I know there are a few in my friends' list; so, hoping they don't secretly have me on ignore, they might like this page.

My favorites are the Character Name Generator which gave me these:

Stormy Spike Aaralyn (Best knight of the realm)
Janina Kaylana Kory (Starship janitor)
Rocky Norm Vinny (Low capo of the Vinitto family)

And the Title Generator.

Lemonchiffon Kiss
Smog Puzzlebox
Drag Queens Rapture

There is even a prompt generator and tons of other stuff I haven't tried yet.

DC has announced the new creative team for Supergirl, which is odd because the current one is not even old and they were supposed to be the new creative team. For a series with only 34 issues, having five or six different BOLD new directions is a bit of a mess. Well, I hope Sterling Gates and Jamaal Igle manage to last more than a week... unless they suck.

Here is the announcement.

Also, I like the cover Igle made for issue 34... but, there is something wrong about it...



Oh.

"No, Kara, put your right leg under my left leg."

"This one?"

"No, the other left, you idiot!"

"Wait, both legs have to go under, or just one?"

"No no, let's just do this step by step. Okay, now put the right leg under the... no, YOU IDIOT GET YOUR KNEE OFF ME!"

Tags: ,


Sean McKeever has posted this image that I guess is going to be the new line up of the Teen Titans.

The most noticeable thing is the absence of Tim and Rose. Now, just because Tim and Rose aren’t in the picture doesn’t mean they are not going to be in Teen Titans, although it kind of look like that’s what’s going to happen. I am going to miss Rose more than Tim here, since her bitchiness actually brought some interesting team dynamics. Tim was just weird and cranky. Well, now that Tim is going to become a man, I guess he si going to start the Man Titans or something like that.

Let’s take a look at the guys in the picture.

Kid Devil: Ah, Kid Devil, you miserable loser. No, KD, pretending you are Nightcrawler from the X-Men won’t make them love you more or make Rose want to skinny dip in front of you again. They only keep you around to make them glad they are not you. I hope they start treating him better, because at this point in ten issues they are going to come back and find him hanging from the ceiling. Creepiest Teen Titans issue ever! At least not counting the ones with Terry Long.

Blue Beetle: Yaaaay! Jaime! That’s all I have to say about this.

Kid Eternity: Kid Eternity? I had almost forgotten Geoff Johns brought him back to life in Teen Titans years after he killed him in JSA. Kid Eternity was a character from Captain Marvel’s Earth back in pre-crisis and I think they were even supposed to be brothers or something like that. Anyway, all that was forgotten later. As the only person still around who read the Vertigo Kid Eternity mini by Grant Morrison and the on-going series that followed it, written by Ann Nocenti, I should care… but darn, not I even I give a darn, and I actually liked both Kid E books. I don’t remember much about either one, but I hope they bring back Kid Eternity’s Girlfriend, Miss Infinity… or was it Girl Infinity? Either way, Kid Eternity has the power to bring back to life dead people and make them do stuff. So, if you ever wanted to write Blue Beetle / Kid Devil / Abraham Lincoln slash, now it’s the time. I am just saying… you don’t have to.

Miss Martian: Either Miss Martian is finally accepting her whitey heritage or nobody bothered to color her green. Wait! Her torso is green! Is she wearing clothes all over her body except her torso? Is she experimenting with avant garde fashion? Did the artist run out of green? Most likely the last option. I hope someone finally fleshes out Miss Martian, because she has been around for a while and we know so little about her. Sean McKeever has actually started to give her an origin, pretty much the one I expected her to have, and I hope she gets more down the road.

Wondergirl: Well, now that Tim is not around Cassie might actually recover her somewhat dubious leadership skills, and hopefully also a life outside of the boy she was trying to get into her pants.

And now the mysterious shadow people!

Shadow 1: This shadow is so generic it might be ANYONE! Since it is shorter than Wondergirl some people have speculated it might be Damian. Might be, but then again it might be anyone! It might be Wally’s son, Jai. Also, I don’t think they are drawn to scale all that much, so it might not be a younger or shorter person necessarily.

Shadow 2: Now this shadow has a cape… I think. So it’s either Supergirl or Mary Marvel?

I don’t know what to think. Usually when the classic well liked characters start getting replaced by guys nobody has heard about, you can pretty much start counting down to the cancellation of the comic. Removing Rose, if she has been removed, it’s a big mistake because she moved characterization forward through sheer bitchiness, and frankly nothing else seems to move the Titans these days.

Jun. 19th, 2008 @ 06:46 pm Will edit comics for food.

Wowee! The rumors around DC are getting crazier now. Grame McMilliam made a big post about how Didio might end up getting fired. Of course, it’s all rumor and speculation, but where there is smoke there might be a smoke arrow as they say; and by “they” I mean superhero archers.

"Nothing like a happy work environment and former employees willing to sing your praises, is there? Not that things look set to get better anytime soon; with confirmation on Monday that concern that JG Jones won't be able to meet deadline on Final Crisis has led to another artist being assigned to draw parts of each future issue bringing yet more calls for DiDio to step down or be fired, it's beginning to look like the rumors that DC is looking for a new guy to turn the publisher around and rebuild bridges with creators, retailers, fans and anyone else who's still paying attention when DiDio's current contract expires in October (or perhaps even earlier) may be true after all.
But who would that new guy be? The loudest buzz is around Jimmy Palmiotti, currently under an exclusive contract as a writer for DC Comics, but whose previous positions include co-founding Event Comics and co-head of Marvel's "Marvel Knights" imprint, both with friend and current Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada. Palmiotti's name has been mentioned as possible replacement in comic pro circles for a while now, and a recent Publishers Weekly article about DC's troubles quickly turned into a "Palmiotti for Boss" session."


Now, some people are tempted to start singing “The wicked witch is dead” and go dance in the streets. Please don’t, you’ll look silly and I hate musicals. Anyway, Palmiotti as DC’s new boss editor? Well, I like his Freedom Fighters minis. More than that I don’t know.

But back to Didio. While Didio has done some bad things, like cancelling Young Justice (which I believe Pope John XXI once wrote is a sin worthy of a kick in the scrotum), he has done even I have liked.

For instance:

Superman: DC’s flagship character for once is written by people of high caliber and not the cheapest guys they could find. Morrison’s All Star Superman is always a treat, and I enjoyed Geoff John’s and Busiek’s books.

Batman: I have been enjoying Morrison and Dini on this.

Green Lantern: Green Lantern Corps and Green Lantern have been phenomenal too. I may be biased because I loved the short Alan Moore stories Geoff Johns and the writers of Corps have been milking for a while, but you put Mogo and the Empire of Tears anywhere and I’ll be happy.

I know at least some of you will feel tempted to reply something like “THE CURRENT BOOKS ARE SHIT! I LIKED BATMAN BETTER WHEN ALAN GRANT WROTE IT!” or “SUPERMAN MAKES ME PUKE! IT WAS MUCH BETTER UNDER JOE KELLY” in which case I warn you my only response is going to be this:



Moving on!

The problem is that instead of focusing the attention on the fact that they had big talent working on the main characters - something pre-Didio DC rarely did and I hope continues after Didio is gone -, the attention was focused on things like Identity Crisis. Look, BUTT RAPE!

I am not defending Didio, I mean… look at the tag! There were a lot of bad things going on too, like insane changes of direction “Tony Bedard on Outsiders! No, screw him; Chuck Dixon on Outsider! No, screw him too!”; waaay too much reliance on retarded and “shocking” scenes; and “light-hearted” was almost banned to the point where MARVEL seemed a happier, less serious place.

I just felt like pointing out something good for a change.

And the smoke around the giant mess that is DC editorial starts dissipating! Okay, it's just more rumors. And here is Warren Ellis talking about the whole Countdown, Death of the New Gods, Final Crisis mess.

"People like talking shit about Dan Didio online. The truth is that he’s actually a smart guy who, on entering the company, had to make some tough decisions fairly quickly. It’s also true that some lifers at DC editorial are very resistant to any kind of change. Are some of them just plain nasty and dumb enough to say, “screw Morrison, we’ll do our own story, and if it blows his big reveals, well, fuck ‘im”? I would hope not, but it does seem to have happened anyway."

Yikes, if true that would put the blame on Mike Carlin. What the hell is going on at house de la DC? Is there a civil war going on right under our noses? Is it editor vs editor? brother vs brother? Dido vs Carlin? writer vs artist? North vs South? East vs West? Northeast vs Southwest? dog vs cat? Super-dog vs Super-cat? Supergirl vs Mary Marvel? Is anyone safe? And more importantly, am I safe?

And yes, at some point I will probably LJ about something else, but right now I can't dwell on longer topics.

Jun. 15th, 2008 @ 08:40 pm And the mystery is solved!
Chuck Dixon has been posting in the CBR blog and the reasons why he left are now coming to light.

This is what he wrote in his message board:

Just to counter some nonsense I've seen "reported" on other sites.
I did not quit.
I do not believe it had anything to do with politics.


and these are some choice cuts from the CBR blog:

Don’t blame my editors.
DC, currently, is run from the top down in a way that makes Jim Shooter’s aegis at Marvel look like a hippie commune.

Shooter was very dictatorial with strict rules for writing and drawing superheroes.
The difference between his reign at Marvel and the current one at DC is that Shooter was successful at raising circulation and longterm planning.


And somebody had to ask:

Taking a shot at Warners? At Levitz? At DiDio?

To which Dixon replies:

Not at Paul.
Warners? The geniuses who merged with a company that was billions in the red? Trust me, most days they don’t even KNOW they own a comic company much less take an interest in running it.
On the Shooter front—
Though I saw Shooter in full fledge psychotic editorial rage a couple of times, he did provide leadership at Marvel and didn’t change the company’s direction five times in one day. And the company climbed out of the red and became vital again under his stewardship. I disagreed with many of his ideas when it came to continuity but he was at least consistant and you knew where you stood. And merit was rewarded back then. If you sold well and handed the stuff in on time you’d never go without work.

I’ve worked under tyrants and I can say that I’d prefer to work under a talented, knowledgeable tyrant with a successful plan than a directionless gladhander with a ouija board any day of the week.


Huh... why I wonder who could Dixon be not not-blaming. Who controls DC from the top and isn't Paul Levitz? Who could be the master puppeteer who has lost controls of the strings?

Yes, the guilty party is non other than Grant Morrison, who secretly controls DC from the shadows!

May. 28th, 2008 @ 05:30 pm I am not sure what to think about Final Crisis.
Final Crisis just came out today, and I am not sure what to think.

Not about the book itself, because I just haven't read it yet, but I have seen some of the scans at scans_daily. More importantly, I have seen the comments. As expected, the usual gang of howling monkeys from scans_daily have lined up to throw poop like some Stalinist chimpanzee firing squad. It's like someone declared the free-stylin' wanking olympics have started.

Now, to be fair some of them are complaining about the death of Martian Manhunter, which is actually annoying in the usual "Oh boy, let's kill someone semi-important to make sure the readers know this crossover matters!" way. That's actually a fair complaint. The rest of the complaints seem like the usual nonsense.

"Empress is dead!" which would make sense if she had actually died. She is so dead she is even going to appear in an issue of Supergirl in a few months. Oh yeah, Empress shows up which means there is a chance I actually might make an appearance in Final Crisis too. Hopefully not getting kicked in the face by Dr. Light. I hope I do show up, though, because otherwise I would have to join the Supermen of America (God, I hate them!) in their latest case:



A very important person is missing! Can the Supermen of America find him before THE BOMB EXPLODES? A true tale of adventure, action, a chance of romance, and weiner poopie. All this and more in the next episode of McGuyver.


Other than that, you get the usual complainers who don't explain what they are complaining about. Then again, apparently they are the kind of people who think quoting lolcats is cutting edge comedy. "DOES NOT WANT!" Ha ha ha ha! O dear sir, your witty banter surely marks you as this generation's Oscar Wilde. All my base are belong to you! And by "All my base" I mean SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Anyway, as I have said, I haven't read the book in question, and the few pages posted don't seem to be Morrison at his best. I don't see anything bad about them either, but it's not like Seven Soldiers where, like Borges once said about another writer, there is a delight in every page. But, despite that, I am tempted to LOVE Final Crisis simply because a book that pisses off so many wankers can't be a bad thing.

But I don't ant to do that. I want to read Final Crisis in a state of pure innocence, untouched by the filth of wankers.

Oh well, can't be helped. I'll read it when I can and I hope I can look at it wit unbiased eyes.

I got tagged by [info]shidoikarji26

People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

But I won’t tag anybody, so only answer if you feel like it.

1. If your boyfriend/girlfriend cheated on you, what will your reaction be?

Yell nasty curse words and walk away. If it has been a long relationship, I might consider forgiving and trying to work things out, but most likely not. Most certainly not, actually.

2. What will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you?

If I find that person masturbating in the bushes near the window, I call the cops.

3. What is your favorite movie and why?

Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. Why? It would take me too long to explain.

4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?

Yes.

5. What's your ideal boyfriend/girlfriend like?

Cuddly. Understanding. Anything else and I might just start revealing my fetishes and perversions.

6. What's your favourite band/music artist? Is there anything about them that makes them truly special to you?

I don’t think I have one.

7. If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?

No, that would be kinda sad to do.

8. What is your favorite comedy sketch?

Can’t remember any right now.

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?

Yes, but none of your business, quiz thing.

10. How do you want to live your life?

Awesomely.

11. Relate a quote from a book to yourself/life/situation right now.

I don’t know, but it will probably be something witty and depressing from Kurt Vonnegut.

12. What is your favorite phrase or quote?

“The bureaucracy expands to satisfy the needs of an expanding bureaucracy.”

It’s probably the wittiest thing I have read.

13. Who is currently the most important person to you?

This will sound sad, but I don’t have one right now.

14. What is the most predominant color around you?

Some ugly grey.

15. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?

Single and rich and work my way from there towards marriage.

16. What kind of sounds are the most annoying?

Scratching blackboards.

17. Would you give your all in a relationship?

Yes.

18. Do you ever wonder if the way you see things visually aren't how other people see them?

Yes.

19. What type of friends do you like?

People with at least some common hobbies or interests, otherwise I have a problem even talking to them. Also I prefer sincere people.

20. What words do you like the sound of?

Cellar.

You are The Devil


Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession


The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.


Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.
