Wtf: The Sluggard doesn't stalk celebrities...

...but if I did it would probably look like this.

I'm not a crazy fangirl I swear. I'm barely even a fangirl. So, okay, I spend probably an unhealthy amount of time writing fic, but that's really just rabid graphomania more than anything else... I don't follow what's going on with actors, I rarely read promotional tidbits or information about upcoming episodes beyond the previews for next week's show, and while I might think "Ooh, neat" if I hear something about a few select writers and directors, for the most part I don't really pay attention to what goes into the creation of the shows I watch.

That said, the final few months of last year were kind of a cool time for me. I got inspired hugely by the anonymous ficfests over on ryanandesposito, I wound up writing what is probably the best thing I've ever written (with the allegory and the zombies and the feelings), and I started going back to school. So I was in an unusually good mood roundabout mid-October when roachstar started asking peoples for content for her birthday project. A good mood. A weird mood. So, though it wasn't my usual mode of fan enjoyment, I figured I'd send something in.

Interestingly enough, I was thinking about it...eh, yesterday? Two days ago? I don't really remember, but I just thought of it out of nowhere. Then, today, roachstar shared this over on her page:

And believe it or not, I got to piggyback on her moment of fangirlspasm, because that's my b-day card visible at 1:01 and 1:07.

Though I can only imagine what must have gone through his mind when he first flipped through it and turned a page and saw this:



Which I guess is weird out of context...

...actually, it's kind of even weirder in context.

So yeah.

P.S. I'll give you three guesses where I got the idea for that one scene in "Quality of Life", and the first two don't count.
