Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Well, this sucks.

I got a court order today. Delivered into my hand. Specifically into the hand of [and I’m quoting the dude who was reading off a script] “the InterNutter who claims to have written a work entitled ‘Misfits’, lately to appear in Google Drive?”

It was a Cease and Desist from Little, Brown Books in general and Stephanie Meyer in particular.

Seems my fic bears an astonishing resemblance to Ms Meyer’s latest series to come out. Almost too astonishing. Reading between the lines of the fine print, my version would show the “professional’s” in a bad light.

Read: I’m too good, but not good enough to be published by these people.

Go figure.

I demanded a galley proof for evidence and I just got it.

Fucking bitch filed the serial numbers off my fanfic and added abusive undertones to the relationships.

Well, she’s in for a shock when she finds out there’s no “the end” yet. And good luck, because I still haven’t figured that out.

But you want to know the most insulting bit?

The serious line-has-been-crossed coup de grace of insult to injury?

April Fool!

[I’m such a shit…]

Yes, I know it’s late, but it took me this long to come up with the right words. I’ve been a tad crook.

Fanfic Time: X-Wars, part 20

Continued from yesterday:

  “You like?”

  Scott nodded, trying to hook a piece of stray stringy cheese with his tongue. The little lizard girl giggled, and helped him along his way. Her hands were green and scaly, with webbing stretched between each digit. Claws the colour of blood brushed his chin, and she gasped as a thin trickle of blood followed in her wake.

  “Sorry, sorry mister,” she said, hurriedly trying to wipe it off and smearing it along

Fanfic Time: X-Wars, part 19

Continued from yesterday:

  For once Rogue wasn’t listening in on the Professor’s conversation. She’d managed to become incredibly adept at avoiding his mental abilities when he wasn’t looking for her, but right now she knew she was being watched after the Legion fiasco. Thus it was Sam with his ear to the door, and Sam who told the new mutants about what was going on.

  They decided as one that they had to go

Challenge #00089: The Inherent Perils of Silly Season

When glitter goes awry.

Silly Season had started early. It was an excuse for the humans to vent some of their usually-socially-inhibited insanity and to allow things to ‘all hang out’.

Not literally. There had to be standards.

Rael had done his best, with all the other nonhuman JOATs, to make sure the possibility of damage was limited. A certain amount of nonsense was expected, even permitted, during Silly Season. Already, some of the harmless mainstays were occurring.

Not only

Hi, prompter for the China story. You may want to change "didn't take into account the Earth's motion" in that to "slight error in...

I was working on the idea that the Earth [and the solar system] moves in cycles. Now, our time traveller may have accounted for the motion of the solar system and, by extension, the milky way and the universe [otherwise it would have been a very short story], but the Earth doesn’t have a perfectly synchronized orbit. Even if you account for the 0.25 of a day, Terra a year ago is not quite in the same place relative to

Fanfic Time: X-Wars, part 18

Continued from yesterday:

  Cyclops and Gambit continued in with Jason. Jason seemed to be coming out of his shock, or at leased he’d stopped muttering, “no names,” and was looking around.

  Cyclops asked him, “Won’t the kids be scared of you?”

  Jason thought for a moment, then shucked off the hospital wear that he wore over his street clothes. “Now they won’t be. The guards drug them before we ever get

Challenge #00088: Happens Stance

Anywhere in the story: “It happened, and because it happened, it had to exist whether they liked it or not.”

There were thousands of words to describe Shayde. “Annoying” just happened to be in his top five. She had a uniquely twentieth-century disregard for others’ established preferences and his in particular. And this wasn’t the first time he wished inwardly that he had not been the first responder to her spectacular arrival.

Rael found her.

Fanfic Time: X-Wars, part 17

Continued from yesterday:

  Kurt watched Warren’s broadcast. He wondered if Warren was that naive or if he honestly thought that the Friends of Humanity would not attack a shelter for mutants that was run by a mutant. Xavier was only safe from their attacks due to his government backing, working as a puppet for humanity, and incredibly intense security program. The Humane Foundation would probably die within a week unless Warren had something up his sleeve. And Warren would probably

Challenge #00087: My Apologies for the Pun

End with this sentence: “No matter what happened after, no one could ever say he’d been subtle about it all.”

Public forums like this were what Clayton Endicott had been born for. He had worked hard to reach his station in the Galactic Standards Committee and his people - humans in general and the people of Earth in particular - needed his voice today.

He was going to filibuster the living spit out of the Generic Food Standards

Fanfic Time: X-Wars part 16

Continued from yesterday:

  MacAllister flew to the floor in a crumpled heap, barely conscious thanks to a sharp rap on the head from Spiral. Scott bent down to feel for a broken skull, and glowered up at the six-armed woman. However decent that Nightcrawler fellah was, his associate left more than a little to be desired.

  “My teammate?”

  Kurt gestured with the hand not containing his sword, and Alex appeared on cue, bundled in through a side door by a

Fanfic Time: X-Wars, part 15

Continued from yesterday:

  It was warm. Someone was giving him a *fantastic* massage. Something delicious and full of calories was gently steaming nearby.

  Oh, and he was naked.

  That woke him up in a hurry.

  “Easy, big boy,” said Rita. “You’re here to relax.”

  “But–”

  “Nuh-uh.” She leaned on him. “Not this time. It’s come to my attention that there’s a member of the team who

Challenge #00086: The Ninth Step

Sara’s mom and Scott have a chat during her wait while attempting to do a bit of step work with Sara. Scott actually receives good advice from her in the process, albeit slightly jaundiced in delivery.

Jacquelline Adrien had changed a lot since Scott last laid eyes on her. Gone was the Pink Chanel power suit and the ludicrously small hat. Gone were the Label accessories and the solid layer of Mary Kaye cosmetics. Gone, too, were about five pounds
