"Captain, The Riptide is hailing us."
"On screen, Mr. Worf."
Please write more of this one!

::bounces:: they were all great, though.

(umm, I've never heard of the "Secret Of The Unicorn Queen" before, what is it?)

I'd be far more surprised if you had heard of it! We're a very small fandom.

Secret Of The Unicorn Queen was a series of six Young Adult novels by four different authors published in the US in '88 and '89. It follows a young girl, Sheila, when she accidentally gets transported into an alternate Earth. One where Magic is real, and Unicorns run wild. Or they did before an evil usurper took over the kingdom, with a dark mage at his side. Sheila quickly falls in with a band of young wemen and their unicorns, freedom fighters lead by Illyria, who mistake her for a magician herself, as they try to get their lands back into rightful hands and free the unicorns before the evil mage Mardock can kill them all for his own dark ends.

If you'd like, I have all six books in .pdf format, and am willing (and eager) to send them to anyone who'd like to give them a try. They're all short (less then 200 pages each) and a quick, fun read.

Nick swam for shore. He knew the pelican was laughing.
*giggle*

Good one, hun!

::giggles:: I really think there needs to be more Pelican in Riptide fanfic. People can start now, so it's ready for me when I am ready to start actualy reading them!

For eight weeks, Riptide's cover of "Jolene" remained number one.

I very much want to write a rockstar!AU now. And wow, it's kind of amazing what you can say with a sentence or two, huh? You did a great job.

Secret of the Unicorn Queen? I am intrigued. If you're spreading the love (in .pdf format), please put my name on the list, 'kay?

Oh hon, you so need to write that now! You really, relly do!

In the poetry comunity (the scholerly world of it, at least), there is one masterful Hiaku which is commonly held to be the best Haiku of all time. I forget who it's by, some famous master, but it's simply "The shadows in the folds of a napkin." Writing these makes me remember how I felt the first time I read that line. An entire world in just a few words. Isn't it fun?

And also? ::points to icon:: Hon, I would send these .pdfs anywhere in the world, standing on my head, and singing "Yaneky Doodle Dandy" if it got people to read them! ::LOL:: Drop me a line over at torra_k (at) yahoo (dot) com and I'll send you the first one!

Maybe I will write it. I think Murray would be a musical genius, and Riptide took off and joined the other rock gods only after he joined Nick and Cody. And Nick is jealous of all the groupies swarming around Cody (not that he doesn't have his own). Okay, the vague idea I had is rapidly turning into an actual plotbunny...

Also: email sent.

Oh! I can totaly see this! And Quinlin as this reporter who gets it into his head that these guys aren't right, and spends months "investigating them" and interviewing them and twisting their words to make them seem foolish. But he's an offical reporter on thier lable, so the managers keep shoving them at him. I can just seek Nick getting upset about Cody and accidently feeding Quinlin more and more lines to get printed, which make Cody's eyes boggle when he reads them.

Hehehe. Or not, that thought just greatly amuses me.

(Also, first two books on their way!)

I just realized that the PDF files all have the old site URL on them. ::sighs:: Luckily, easy to fix. I sent you a zip with all six corrected for next time.

Got the corrections. These are the, what, fourth versions you've done? ::snickers::

I don't know, actually, I um... stopped counting. ::is embarrassed:: However! This time it's NOT my fault!

I wouldn't have changed a thing if I hadn't been reminded by your mentioning the PDFs. I haven't opened those files in six months at least, if not longer, and I wouldn't have done so again any time soon if you hadn't brought them up. When I was updating the new site URL all over the place it somehow never occurred to me to check the PDFs, and once it did, well... how could I let it go? ::sigh::

Anyway, I don't think there's anything left that I can change, so these versions should be the last.

Because Quinlan wanted to be a singer himself but never got a record deal, so he had to settle for being a music reporter. But those Riptide boys play a few gigs and suddenly they're in the charts and someone from the Rolling Stone is doing an interview on them! Can you imagine?! Of course he's pissed off. They don't deserve it!

Re: unicorn queen
I just read the first book. It's not too long, so not a problem, and I'll most likely finish with the second one tonight as well. And then I'll demand more, just so you know. *g*

It's a lovely story, though. And the possibilities! Can you imagine the crossovers one could write? *happy sigh*

Also: unicorns ftw! I love an animal that comes with it's own pointy weapon.

Oh, girl, you have got to write this! Maybe with Baxter (from 2x13) as their flamboient manager or producer, or the record lable owner who takes a speical intrest in them! I think he'd make a great producer.

SUQ: \o/!!! Isn't the sesries just fun? And there are sooo many possiblities to go! So much is left open, or unexplored! Just wait 'til you finish the sereis, there are thousands of stories waiting to be written!!

Do you want me to send you the rest of the books now, or wait?

Baxter as the manager is a great idea. Mama Joe can be the manager of a girlband (The Contessas) that's got a deal with the same label. (I so don't have time to write this, but it's a very persistant bunny...)

SUQ is indeed fun. I've just started the second one and I want to be all dignified and say that I can wait until tomorrow to get the others, but the little girl inside of me is jumping up and down, yelling "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" So, uh, now would be good.

Oh, have I said thanks? If not: thank you! ♥

~ sera

Aw, these were fun! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, they were a blast to write!

"Did that rainbow just come out Morning Star's..."

::SPORFLE!::

Oh my god. That is the funniest fucking thing I have read in a really long time. You must icon!!

(Or, wait, is there already an icon like that? I know I've seen one with a unicorn on a rainbow spearing someone with it's horn, and another one of two unicorns having sex. Maybe I'm combining the two in my head?)

These are all so wonderful! Aside from the "unicorns crap rainbows" thing, I'm especially loving the H/C, Smut and UST bits (the UST one, in particular, really haunts me). I'm in a state tonight, what can I say? I think I'm a little manic, hence all the swearing and parenthesis and exclamation points.

What I adore most of all, however, is how these little microfics really draw you in and make the reader want more. They make you wonder what came before and what happened after. Which... is the point, I realize, but... yeah.

(Like I said, a state. I should add babbling in there too.)

Loveses, I loveses! What a great meme!



Oh, and also: I have never seen Riptide and know nothing about it, zip, zilch, ZERO, but most of those microfics made me literally laugh out loud. "For eight weeks, Riptide's cover of "Jolene" remained number one." Oh dear lord, that is just... I have no words. Icons, my dear! ICONS!!

Nobody does crackfic like you, sis. Or humor, for that matter. Or angst! Or... well, you get where I'm going. ;) High fives all around!!

Oops, forgot to actualy reply to this. ::LOL:: I think that one is my favorate, too, along with the Crossover (Because now I want Agent Cookie Rogers working on the X-Files, spending her life searching for her best friend to misteriously dissipeared, perhaps because of Aliens). It was actauly inspired by oddmonster. When I pushed the books on her, she was afraid it'd be really uber-fluffy, where they shit rainbows and teddeybears or something. ::G::

The Jolene one was inspired by catyah who did a vid set to it with the cover by The White Stripes. Great Vid!

"Did that rainbow just come out Morning Star's..."
"Yeah."
"Eww."

A W E S O M E.

That one is totaly deticated to you, hon. ::winks::
