Oct 2011 Archive, part b

Hmm, my guys are slated to pick up a repaired CAD in the future, though I intend to make them suffer with bad-haiku!CAD for at least one mission first. Nume has the seniority to get a new model . . . though it's Ilraen they actually like around DoSAT. Hmm indeed.

I always thought the devices were black, personally. Wouldn't any bright colors show up too easily? Also, a spaghetti box seems an unusual shape—the ones I'm familiar with, at least, are long and narrow, not very practical. I guess I figured they fit easily into one hand, like a remote control, only boxier. Or maybe like a tricorder, which has a similar function (scan and provide readout).

Also, caught a mistake, bolded here: "'This is Technician Second Class Narcolepsy, senior member of the Testing and Application Division of the Department of Sufficiently Enhanced Technology.'" Should be "Advanced," of course.

I also read the first story, and I'll be interested to see how the field testing goes for that one. It can't go well immediately, that wouldn't be any fun. *g*

Snapshot seems to be adjusting well. I love that she has more formal education than the others. ^_^

The level of detail in both stories is really excellent. You sound like you know what you're talking about, and I can "see" everything, even if I don't have the technical know-how as a point of reference (or necessarily agree with said descriptions). I may have missed reading other stories with Narcolepsy in them before, but I got a really good idea of how he's constructed in these, with his eyes adjusting, and "brain" winding up, and all that. Really cool. Good work!

~Neshomeh

The CCAD (Or maybe C-CAD?) sounds like a very good upgrade.

We've already got tons of CADs blowing up, and I think we'll see more in order to have a reason to give the new one to the Agents.

This whole time I've been imagining the CADs as looking something like .

Must beat new image into head now.

That said, I would brave the Aldebaranian lawyers if I had a CCAD with "Don't Panic!" on it. That would be awesome. And a never-ending source of jokes.

...and I totally sense that Zerenze would give the prototype model to Eusabius as a gift for whatever reason. *snickers evilly*

Fun times are had for everyone. Can't wait for more files! :D

I like the second one a lot, especially since it gives a reason why CADs have been exploding more frequently in mission reports. It also gives an incentive (neat new tech) to not blow them up for Rule of Funny purposes.

I've got an idea for a story, now I just need to think up an agent to tell it.

I don't know how scary it'll be, but I'll try anyway. I'll use Agent Hikari, then.

I'll be using Nyx Nightingale, DMS (and her family), and hopefully scaring some of the other Agents...

hS

So, you'll post the introduction. Well, okay, but what happens inbetween the scary stories?

Do these stories have to be made up by us, or can they be re-tellings of known stories?

Sounds really fun!

I don't have any agents okayed yet, but I have ideas for a pair (although hopefully they'll be approved before Halloween!). Can I do this anyway?

The agent I have in mind for this is named Zanna, by the way.

I'm in! I'm sure Agent Evie would love to creep everyone out!

This sounds like fun! I'll throw Chalk into it.

I am so in. Agent Adder would love to try her hand at telling a ghost story.

Agent Logan will attempt to scare all present with some form of ghostly tale

This sounds like fun, but I have a question. Are the agents going to interact with each other in between stories?

I'd love to join this fun, so I'll see if I get a proper "scary" story done - well, given my agents, it probably will be more unintentionally hilarious (intentionally for me >:D).

I'm still thinking about whether Ardo will do a solo run here or if he'll somehow manage to pull poor Noir into all of this, but I might figure something out >:3

I'll would love to participate and will be using *looks over agents* my Radioactive Moss Creature, since Mittens is too shy to tell a story for an audience.

Only one story can be told per writer. I guess an agent pair together could tell a story, but they can't tell one each.

A co-write with stuff? Hm... That sounds intriguing indeed.

I think I'll throw in agent Xanthus for this one. Now I need to come up with something that can approximate a turian horror story. Now, how do I go about doing that... *thinks*

It was sporked about three or four years ago by someone who's no longer around. Clearly the mission's vanished too. Huh.

I'd offer, but I don't know anything about Dragon Ball Z either.

The Fanfic Critic reviewed it on her show. It's one of the few fics to make even Susan want to kill herself.

I honestly think this is one of those things that needs more than one RC to spork...

That is a pretty bad fic.

So, yeah, anyone in the DIC or Floaters (sometimes they forget that they can do everything) could take this on.

... I wonder if hosting the Words of a fic on an obnoxious background is punishable or not. I can barely read this without highlighting it.

...


...


Power... cells...? Goku runs on batteries? I'm not a big DBZ fan but I can't recall them ever being called that... I might be wrong though...

OK, this fic IS terrible. But it does contain these lines.

“Now come on.” Commanded Goku. “We’ve got some Nazi a** to kick.”

Hitler burst into a laugh, as Goku looked on quizzically. The mustachioed man slowly rose into the air, as his brown hair and pencil moustache turned a blonde color, and his brown eyes turned blue. Goku reeled in horror. Hitler continued laughing, then finally said “Goku! You came here expecting to find a madman, but instead, you found a GOD!” Hitler had become a Super Saiyan.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. NAZI ARYAN SUPER SAIYAN.

I love that photo. That rainbow flag is just gorgeous.

I'm... hmm... Best I can say right now, probably "asexual demi-romantic feminine genderqueer"... which is such a huge mouthful that I just shorten it to "me". What it means is that I just don't see what the point of either sex or gender is, and would prefer to see people as people first, and sexual-orientation and gender categories second or not at all. That, and I think androgynous people are pretty hot. Yeah, you can be ace and still think people are hot. :)

I also represent one of the many (majority of, in fact) Christians who think the extremists need to get off their collective high horse and stop being ugly-minded bigots. That's my God they are using as an excuse for hatred and prejudice, when he's the personification of justice and love and truth and cares equally about everybody. It makes me feel like yelling, "How dare you!?"

I know this is late, but I just saw this topic today and had to reply, because you guys are seriously making me smile right now.

Don't ever let people tell you that what you are is wrong or offensive. Tune out the noise and know that you, as a human being, are an amazing creature that deserves respect.

^_^

~Neshomeh, who believes in the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

As a somewhat-closeted bisexual, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted here. *hugs everyone*

And I completely agree with PoorCynic.

Here's looking forward to the day when equality and tolerance becomes the norm.

-- PoorCynic, openly bisexual since 2009

I probably should come out as asexual to my family at some point. Can't today, because I won't see them until the weekend ... I'll make time to.

Everyone deserves more than 12%.

I hadn't run across that acronym before, but I like it.

My prayer is that one day "coming out" will be seen as something ordinary. Until then, ::gets out party horn:: one more ally for the cause.

I am Cassie, and I am an ally also.

QUILTBAG is an excellent acronym.

*blows a trumpet* Go National Coming out Day! And also go America for losing DADT!

Also, seconding QUILTBAG as an excellent acronym :)

Because no matter who you are or who you love, you are beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you that you're wrong for being who you are. Let that little light of yours shine.

I share my support with those who are, well, different. You guys are great and let nobody ever tell you otherwise!

For me, today is a day to honor those with courage: people who have had to deal with so much more than me. I consider myself lucky. For me, my friends, my parents, my bisexuality was such a non-issue that it was never even brought up. I was never in the closet in the first place.

But for those who have had to muster the courage to not only come out, but come out kicking and fighting... I have no greater respect!

Also, QUILTBAG is the best acronym ever.


But yeah, I'm an ally all the way!

That's so cool!

I am LunarHuntress, and I am an ally (and maaaaaybe bi, I'm not actually sure.)

In recognition of said holiday, the organization Get Equal made this video. There may or may not be a certain boarder therein.

Yes, I liked it and is now leaving a comment. ^^

I don't know an awful lot about the Saw continuum (I have only watched the first movie), but even I could see that the whole thing was stupid, rushed and pointless.
And the Harry Potter characters. Oh, dear. *shakes head* The fic had such a bad grasp of the characters (not to mention the subtle difference between Marauders and Death Eaters), that I don't understand why it didn't simply use three OCs instead.

But anyway, good job! Glad to see that fic go. *goes of to send Eusabius a 'Get well soon'-card with a picture of a puppy*

I loved it. I've never watched Saw, but even I knew that this stuff was pretty wrong. I have to admit, Eusabius getting shot did kind of scare me a little. Anyway, great mission.

Here's why. You just got here. I know that you have been binging on PPC related things in the week since you got here, but you have to take it slow. Give us time to get to know you. We aren't going anywhere.

Now, to give some feedback on the substance of the request...

The agents look good, though it seems quite coincidental that both chose Shakespearean character names for themselves.

I like your choice of a first mission. Too many people have agents in Floaters and then do nothing with them except Mary Sue missions. So, I think your choice of a crossover is a good one.

As for your writing sample, I would like to see you write something that is entirely yours for the next time you ask for permission. Part of the reason for the writing sample is to see if you can create a scene. So flex your writing muscles.

-Phobos, where permission requests go to die

It's different and interesting to see an agent who's a bit more antagonistic than usual. Lake seems like fun, too.

I look forward to learning more about Fix and The Carver. It looks like they each have 'issues' that will play well of each other in future stories.

One nitpick: Technically an organism is only a parasite if it benefits at the expense of the host, which doesn't seem like the case here. (Not really enough information to be certain) I believe the more correct term would by "symbiont" or "symbiotic organism."

I really liked it. It had good pacing and the scenes flowed nicely from one to another.

I was confused when Fix mentions his instincts from the years he spent in gangs, since I thought he didn't remember them. Does he still have the instincts and then someone has told him where they are from, or how does that work?

I was impressed with the conversation between Fix and the Marquis. It is rare to see a piece that really deals with how it feels for someone to learn that they are nothing more than a half-baked character from a discarded story, and your take on it was really touching.
And the whole 'Wait, I get paid? And get food?' made me smile. I know one of my agents, Mittens, had exactly the same reaction.

I found Carver genuinely creepy, especially when she started throwing blood around, because then it seemed like she knew Fix' weakness and was using it against him. I was relived when Fix called her on it and told her that it wasn't working and that he wasn't going anywhere. I imagine that they'll grow on each other.

These may or may not be of any use. I like to think I do all right, but heck, everyone's method varies when it comes to writing.

Anyway:

1. Pick your stopping point ahead of time. There's no rule that says you have to get through the entire fic, just that the canon has to be definitively broken, usually an event that stands out from the badness level of the rest of the story, but not necessarily. Sometimes the agents have to wait for an opportune moment to strike, savvy?

2. Pick your talking points ahead of time. I like to keep a copy of the badfic in a document on my computer, so that way I can go through and highlight things that I definitely want to cover and also keep track of minis, any other recurring mistakes, particularly hilarious bits, etc. This way, you have kind of a road map to follow when writing. You probably won't cover everything you highlight, though. This is okay. You have to pick and choose to get a balance between emphasizing ongoing problems, avoiding repetition, and not dragging the mission out past being fun, and some things just aren't as important as others (even if they are still bad).

3. Re-read a lot. When I get stuck, I find that it's usually because I took a wrong turn earlier in the story, and I can't move on until I've located it and fixed it. This often means re-writing large chunks of story, but it's worth it.

4. If it's not fun anymore, you're doing it wrong. Go do something else and come back in a fresher mood. This, too, may result in re-writing.

Aster's right, though—we probably all bite off more than we can chew at some point. The first mission I attempted was a co-write with another Boarder at the time, of a really long, canon-wrecking but otherwise well-written Farscape fic. It . . . totally bombed. The actual point of canon rupture was a LONG way in, and we never got past the first chapter. The fic was later deleted. Such is life.

But, it is important that the fic is bad enough to sustain humor, which in retrospect I don't think that one was. I only pick fics with really terrible "so bad it's funny" writing in them now. In addition to keeping with the rule of "the author must show no sign of actually caring about their work," they're simply much better material for humor.

~Neshomeh

I often hit the 'this mission is too enormous' problem, myself. I have two missions in the works at the moment, but one of them (although I have the plot plotted) is just... SO BAD that I am having trouble even writing it without falling into 'this is bad. This is also bad. Here is another bad thing. when did this become a MST?'

The other one is 60+ chapters of badfic. I think I might get through ten, at the most. But it's already 16+pages and the Sue is making me want to eat my hat.

But don't worry. Missions are hard to write: they're a whole new kind of genre and style of story and as such it takes lots of practice to get down.

Something that, due to the high turnover of writers, is not often attained. I don't have it yet. I hope somebody with more missions under their belt gets to this post! >_>;

Please leave your sanity at the door and pick up your free[1] crate of Bleepka!

Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, won't you?

Here, have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and even whisks eggs! It's also pretty useful for getting rid of author wraiths and those pesky spambots. Use it for good and not (much) evil.

Well met, newbie! Please enjoy this toy train set as a welcoming gift.

Welcome, new friend! Help yourself to the sack of venomous invertebrates. Don't worry; they don't bite!

Hello! Have some fudge!

WElcome to the mad house! (Mad as in crazy, I don't think it's angry with anyone right now.)

Here is a bag containing an assortment of things with points. They include, but are not limited to: caltrops, staples, staple guns and person polish.

*pokes the the shiny newbie* Ooohhh!

Ahem ...

Welcome! If you are looking for things to say, listing your fandoms are always welcomed. Or to put it in another way, what do you like to read/write/play?

We love shiny new people here! Have a hipster scarf as a welcome present!

I really love them alot. *huggles*

I LOVE the alot. XD

I've been familiar with them for a while now. Their origin may be found here: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html

Have a case of Bleepka, and your two cents.

Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!

Have some awesome-laced cookies and a giant mug of coffee.

Here, have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and hey, it whisks eggs! It's also particularly useful for getting rid of those pesky author wraiths and spambots. Use it for good and not evil.

Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy your stay.

Well met, newbie! Please enjoy this giant novelty foam finger as a welcoming gift.

Hi, have some fudge!

Does the user name +1 frog of Departure ring any bells? Also, welcome! Have a cookie.

Welcome to the mad house! (The house scared off three psychiatrists this week.) As I welcoming gift please take this bag containing things with points. They include, but are not limited to: glass shards, stilettos, and a combination coffee press/travel mug.

Mmmm... Smells like coffee. I am not allowed coffee. Not any more. Not after ... Well, no reason to bother you with that old yarn.
A warm welcome to you!

Welcome! The more, the merrier! Have an Official Dropping-Anvil (it magically appears right above whatever you want it to drop on)!

I don't remember you very well, and the people I've asked don't remember you very well either.

Your writing sample looks good, as do your agents, however.

Spend more time on the board- or in the chatroom- and ask again later, because an important aspect of asking for permission is also community participation.

What is this I don't even.

I smell butthurt Harmony shipper. "Ron can't have Hermione! She belongs with Harry! Ron is a worthless abusive bastard! JKR is an idiot for not being able to tell that HER OWN CHARACTERS belong in a different couple!"

Dear fanfic writers: teenage angst =/= abusive relationship. Also, JKR = RIGHT. GAH.

You don't have to ask for permission at the end of a month. It was never meant to be a formal probationary thing, just a ballpark suggestion for giving people time to get to know you. Feel free to ask for permission whenever you feel comfortable and confident. {= )

~Neshomeh

I went with the typical 'how my agents met' piece for mine, and that's always a good fall-back if you can't think of anything else.

To make it more interesting you could always have them meet in the Cafeteria and explore how they react to the 'food', or while collecting some equipment from DoSAT (endless possibilities for crazy in that department), or during FicPsych induction into the PPC, etc. The possibilities are endless!

If you want to do something original, here's a sci-fi plot bunny that I found in my head this morning: alien refugee ship enters Earth orbit requesting asylum from $randomnastyempire, what do? Are the aliens who they say they are? If so, what would the consequences for humanity be if the nasties find the refugees?

Hope that helps! ^_^

Honestly, when I came to the PPC I was already a fanfiction writer with fanfics and original fiction under my belt. I always saw it as kind of like... your resume. You bring your resume to a job interview so the interviewer can review what you can do. I used past work I had created.

Though, I guess not all applicants are like me... it may even be changing now that many more people are drawn to the PPC through things like tvTropes, which isn't so much a part of fandom/fanfiction culture as it is a part of internet culture.

To get on with it, I'd focus most of all on simply trying to do your best. It doesn't matter so much of what that best is: it's a resume, so you show us the very best work you can dream up... Just so long as you show us you're right for the job (In the same way you don't hire a plumber to do wiring, too much srs bsns in your sample probably won't coax PGs).

A great bit of original or fanfiction is way better than a forced bit of PPC fiction. I know with the comparison to resumes and stuff this may seem like a stressful post... but just relax. Permission isn't too hard to get. And it's easiest when you put your best work forward, rather than a forced work.

Why not write a scene with your agents in HQ, perhaps meeting each other? You'll almost certainly need to do that anyway - unless you plan to start your first mission in the middle of it.

Anything? Chuck Wendig posts a weekly flash fiction subject on his blog. They are different subjects, but a lot of them lends themselves well to genre-fiction. Just go to his blog and search for flash fiction. Link is NSFW. No, really. I love Chuck Wendig and he gives out great advice, but he swears like a dozen sailors and is creative about it. This linked should not be clicked, while in the presence of your boss, small siblings or elderly relatives with a heart condition? Ok? Then here's the link: http://terribleminds.com/

Another suggestion is to try to come up with something scary for the Halloween Co-Write. You don't need permission to write in it and if you want to write your agents as being new to the job, it could be fun to see them get their first sample of life in the HQ. http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Halloween_Co-Write

These agents definitely have a good sense of interplay. It really feels like these are a close group of friends, and I have to chalk that up to the quality of the writing. The dialogue is quite entertaining.

(SPOILERY)
I liked that Cali and Cadmar's first kiss was not this perfect romantic thing, what with the bumping of noses and the scraping of teeth and the accidentally causing the other person to gag. It felt very real to me.
(END OF SPOILERY)

That being said, I do feel that this story was a bit overly saccharine in places. Hey, I like romance as much as the next person. I have dabbled/am dabbling/will dabble with romantic entanglements in my own writing. But the romance here was just so... easy, I suppose. Even with the above spoiler, it felt simplified and fluffy.

Plus, I feel a bit like the Truth or Dare thing has been played out a bit. I don't know. Maybe you might mix it up with some 'Never Have I Ever' or something in the future.

Anyway, it was a little loose in areas but was otherwise a good interlude. I look forward to the future.

Well, you certainly did your job well enough to keep me reading through to the end, so I'm going to go ahead and call it a successfully entertaining piece of work.

Which is basically my way of saying "I liked it." I always have fun reading awkward tension like that, so no real complaint here.

FATALITY

I may be alone, but I'm not sure whether to classify this as brain-bendingly stupid or flipping amazing, honestly. It's the subtle things that will catch you, like the Mortal Kombat reference. And I suspect a Yu-Gi-Oh one or two as well. And even perhaps a Legend of Zelda CD-I. JOHN, M'BOY. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, though.

"Please take a shit." It's the little things.

Trollfic. Got to be.

Doesn't mean it isn't horrible and shouldn't be killed, though.

(And if so, I'm now wondering what a Homestuck mini would be - a mini-squiddle?

... actually, that would be kind of amazing.)

I'm pretty sure it is.

Nice to meet 'ya!

Here, have a mochi! Be careful, he's cute, but vicious!

Welcome to the funhouse madhouse!

I would have given you one of the mutant glowing locusts that I've been working on, but they, er... escaped, so have this 4000V bug zapper, just in case.

Welcome, new friend! Help yourself to the sack of venomous arthropods. Don't worry; they don't bite!

Welcome to the madhouse, now that you've delurked the insanity will begin to truly show itself to you. As a gift I offer you a selection of things with points including, but not limited to: Unbuggerable beasts, Quills, Witch hats and a special slow cooker devised for PPC agents that can be set to hold the food in temporal stasis if (when) a mission arrives in the middle of making dinner.

Here, have some chocolate, won't you?

Have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and hey, it whisks eggs! It's also particularly useful for getting rid of author wraiths and those pesky spambots. Use it for good and not evil.

Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy the ride.

Hi, have some fudge!

Well met, rookie! Please enjoy this oversized rotisserie set - perfect for roasting griffons, hippogriffs, and other fantasy monsters - as a welcoming gift.

Welcome! Have some animal crackers (not made with real animals).

Have some Obscure Syntax!

So, welcome to the PPC. I'd like to direct your attention to the Board Constitution and the IRC Rules on the wiki. Y'see, we weren't kidding when we said no swearing. Now, you're welcome to come back to the IRC any time, as a kick is not a permanent thing. Just, y'know, cut out the swearing, yeah?

Hiya! Always fun to meet new people! What first introduced/brought you to us? We love hearing about how new people find us!

Have a teddy bear and a tequila sunrise (can be exchanged for a non-alcoholic beverage if you don't drink).

It's nice to see newbies come forward. So how did you find the PPC? What kind of stuff here do you like? :D

Also, have a winter hat! It's knit from only the softest spun fleece of Cute Animal Friends, and it's sure to keep you warm even in the most soul-numbingly cold of badfic!

*carefully anoints Bloom with fluffy hat*

I keep hearing you mention this book, but I can never find it, mainly because all the bookstores around me have folded and my university bookstore is sadly lacking in any popular fiction that isn't teen fantasy/romance (read: vampire novels). What's it about?

As for the second part, not really (even though I've always had a soft spot for Orlando Bloom and I feel very, very sorry for Robert Pattinson). I always try to find ways to poke fun at fangirls and Mary Sues in a non-PPC context. In one of my current story ideas, one of the characters is a fairly standard Mary Sue Classi...il you find out she's a lying, ruthlessly manipulative bitch who manages to make things worse every time she walks into a scene. At the moment she eventually gets torn apart by a blind griffin, but that may change.

A lot of the time there is an interesting idea in the bad fics some were. They just ignore the possibilities so they can boink their crush.

I guess if that wasn't true then, there would be no PPC though. So, take the good with the bad I guess.

Nice! I love listening to parodies of songs, especially bad Romance! (Even if I like the original song >.>)

Excellent and unique agents, and I quite enjoyed your starter piece (though I would suggest line breaks between paragraphs with online documents)!

Good luck with that first choice of missions. ;)

Well, as official as an unofficial collaboration type deal can be. And there's always the possibility that I'll end up, I dunno, getting busy with silly things like real life...

CURSE YOU, COLLEGE AND OTHER WRITINGS THAT I AM WORKING ON! CUUUURSE YOU! I has a sad. :(

Although Machine of Death is a bunch of shorts, rather than whole novels.

I'm just starting a new webcomic, so I can't dedicate myself 100% to this, but I can probably contribute a little.

I don't have the willpower, the inclination or the time.

Since this is my first NaNo, I'm going to try writing my own thing. I have no idea what it's going to be, but I don't feel ready for this.

A lot of Real Life is taking me in these days. I don't even know when I finally will be able to post my interlude, since I don't even have time to finish it...

I have a lot of college work, plus a different novel I already want to play with - I've been tossing this one around since I was fifteen and I really want to get it written some day.

This looks interesting, however there's a story in my head that is insisting I write it for NaNoWriMo and, unlike some people I know, I don't think I could manage two NaNos at once.

I'm interested. I'll give a for sure yay/nay come next week or so, when I'm not in the middle of studying for a test.

I like the idea, but can I ask why we're not supposed to find out why it's happening? I know that there would be conflicting accounts from different people, but that wouldn't stop each story from being readable on its own merits (the stories are likely to conflict in different ways anyway).

There's also a helpful page on the math, for reference on how many people we'll have, and when.

Hi! I don't think we've met before, but glad you're back!

Nice song. :)

Great to see/hear from you again!

TRAY-GNOME!!!
*pounces*
Tway-gnowme. I mwissed wu... Yeah that's enough of that.

Anyhow, glad your back!

TRAY! *squees* It's good to see you back, my friend! I've missed you. \^^/

We missed you! Good to see you back on Board (pardon my pun). ♥

Oh my God, I really missed you. *hugs tightly* Welcome back.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKWpGJ4Xhw8

*tackle*

We missed you! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Welcome back! We missed you!

TRAYTRAYTRAYTRAYTRAYTRAYTRAY...! :D

I missed you! Welcome back, man! :D

However, this is amazing. Dancing squirrels, certainly something I was not expecting to see today.

Some British guy made "Where The Wild Things Are" into a one-act opera.

Yes, that "Where The Wild Things Are".

(The pun is completely unintentional, BTW)

I second your comment. No words. Exceedingly epicawesome. And so squirrel-y. XD

That is exceedingly epic.
