Avoiding schoolwork

[elspethdixon]

Must peer-edit fellow seminar student's research project. Don't want to (I can't think of anything to say but, "This is good and better than mine. I like how, unlike me, you did your historiography in the footnotes rather than the text. Also, you remembered to space between the footnotes, again, unlike me.").

It has occurred to me that, despite my longtime avoidance of RPGs (which always sounded to me like they generally descend into randomness and OOC-ness, sometimes through the use of many, many in-jokes), the original "outline" for Fixit Fic is essentially an RPG of two, complete with in-references ("and they they do the S&H forehead touching thing") and things that are only there because we thought they were funny ("are you certain we have the right body this time, Skull?").

And the 13+ page "outline" for Denialverse (the five roughly plotted virtual seasons of an imaginary Avengers cartoon branching off from the Iron Man animated film) is even more RPG-like, since it exists mainly for the fun of having our own little happy and Disassembled/Civil War-free Avengers world, and may or may not ever actually be written (five virtual seasons would be longer than a novel). And includes things like the almost-as-well-developed AU where everyone is the opposite gender, because Stephanie Rogers/Tonya Stark makes me happy in an emo-porn-licious way only equaled by Dicken's Hard Times.

And, having given it some thought, Dr. Essex is at least a more rational kind of insane than Norman Osborn, and less likely to fly off and kill somebody (instead, he'll just quietly collect DNA samples from them, for human cloning purposes).

As long as SHIELD gave him state-of-the-art lab facilities and access to human test subjects, it could be a match made in... well, not heaven. Someplace, though.

That was Tony's argument! The X-men can't figure out a way to kill the man, so keep him busy and supervised.

Cable however, was not amused. (Though that probably has a lot to do with the fact that Tony is sleeping with Jean and Cable wishes he were is very protective of her reputation).

Okay, some of it is a little cracky. But only in the best spirit of the canon. *evil grin*
