The bunch of us weblit writers are seriously considering writing a universe-hopping story. It'll probably be on the silly side. Here are some key tweets: .@LynThorneAlder .@AdaKaze .@addisonharris We need to write a crazy universe-hopping story. Maybe on LiveJournal. Whoring optional. :) Re: universe hopping, I think it needs to live in one place. w/ @1889ca maybe?& we need >> .@AdaKaze @writingnessie @irkdesu @LynThorneAlder >> a reason for the xovers. Maybe a universe-hopping bad guy. A kidnapper? Baby-stealer? @heidicautrell I'd vote LJ for the creation of said "Universe hopping crack fiction". Then posting on each respective authors site after? #Uhopping @pinkbagels & @am_harte , want in on universe-hopping? @heidicautrell @irkdesu @lynthornealder @writingnessie & I r brainstorming #Uhopping RT @irkdesu: For the sake of (some) sanity, could we write this after November, though? XD #Uhopping // Absolutely! Just thinking aloud. @nlcobb Yep. That rat bastard! @heidicautrell volunteered a bad guy from her fictional world. @heidicautrell This started out semi-serious, but is so going down hill into hilarious. <3 #Uhopping I emailed @1889ca . He's cool with hosting #Uhopping on his site. We can also do the blog tour thing and host the bits in our worlds, too. I'd like to have a version of #Uhopping on #1889ca 's site b/c of upcoming features, like allowing ppl to buy ebooks of individual stories. I imagine that if some nutters buy copies of #Uhopping we'd divide the moolah equally between us. But we can work that out later. nancy on "Soundtrack suggestions" http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/soundtrack-suggestions#post-274 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:17:51 +0000 nancy 274@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ If money for song licensing were no object, which songs do you think would be good for a SLB soundtrack? I'll start. Some of these are more serious than others. :) Theme: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnXFJOXvL_A">"Heart's a Mess"</a> by Gotye (search <a href="http://www.gotye.com/?page_id=35">this Gotye page</a> for "Hearts A Mess" for lyrics) Addison's theme: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZoVsi_bP7s">"Maneater"</a> by Nelly Furtado Addison/Shane theme: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo60iLbLDlU">"Ruin"</a> by The Pierces Shane/Joon theme: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzULN_uMBBI">"Half Life"</a> by the Sneaker Pimps <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCA7i_A_jAM">"Miniature Disasters"</a> by KT Tunstall <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnAZTItYxUQ">"Play the Game"</a> by Queen <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V5B8JJ0O0g">"Silent Sea"</a> by KT Tunstall <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm2YyVZBL8U">"Maybe I'm Amazed"</a> by Wings/Paul McCartney <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4PMdTWTmIg">"In Seville"</a> by The Devlins <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvkX3t5LgVI">"The Space Between"</a> by The Dave Matthews Band <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZhAXJkGV5w">"21 Guns"</a> by Green Day <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THlaw_dN-PY">"In One Ear and Out the Other"</a> by Fujiya & Miyagi <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ex4lO-NcA">"Waiting..."</a> by City and Colour <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLluvXi5nOs">"Boston"</a> by Augustana <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EOqxYzuHdk">"Come Around"</a> by Rhett Miller <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m7PfRxeh3Q">"Voodoo Child"</a> by The Rogue Traders nancy on "The Weblit Jerry Springer Show" http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/the-weblit-jerry-springer-show#post-293 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:16:57 +0000 nancy 293@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ In case you haven't heard of the, shall we say, iconic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jerry_Springer_Show">Jerry Springer Show</a>, it's one of the lowlights of American television (and that's saying something). Lyn, Twitter peep <a href="http://twitter.com/nlcobb">nlcobb</a>, and I started tossing around ridiculous topics for a <a href="http://www.weblit.us/">weblit</a>/webfiction version of the trashy talk show. Here's what we've got so far. Feel free to pitch more! Maybe we'll write 'em out eventually. :) <ul> <li>Who's my baby's daddy? (nlcobb)</li> <li>My bf is a royal jerkface (nlcobb)</li> <li>I was a teenage creature/werewolf/vampire (nlcobb, Lyn)</li> <li>"Getting the #Addergoole chars mad to the point of chair-throwing would be spectacular. The chairs would turn into all sorts of amusing things in mid-air. Like feather dusters and luncheon meats." (nancy)</li> <li>Damn humans. Get off my lawn! (nancy)</li> <li>"This is my lover, who used to date my ex-boyfriend, and here are our kids by said ex." (Lyn)</li> </ul> nancy on "SLB loot ideas" http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/slb-loot-ideas#post-277 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 09:51:19 +0000 nancy 277@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ One of the things I'll do during hiatus is get a SLB <a href="http://www.zazzle.com">Zazzle</a> store up and running. Until today I was at a loss for designs other than the SLB logo and the illustration of Addison and Shane. Then <a href="http://www.heidicautrell.com/">Heidi</a> came up with a great, tongue-in-cheek motto for Triptych: "Looking to the future of innovation — in bed." I can't stop giggling! :) So I'll make a design with that and the Triptych logo (three interlinked triangles, don't have the file handy) for T-shirts and whatnot. Favorite quotes from SLB would make good T-shirts and bumper stickers, too. Maybe something about getting a psychic bitchslap. I dunno. Any suggestions?
