x_project | Rampant Silliness...

You Might Be a X-Project Fan If...

- you are unable to walk past your computer without checking the game, despite having checked it five minutes before

- you get a nosebleed and tell people you over strained your powers

- you shudder when you hear the word empathy

- flipping through your old comics, you think, "Hey, why is Amanda's hair blond? Are they in Asgard again?"

- you get depressed when your favorite character leaves the game

- you laugh when anyone mentions chocolate, socks or Dr. Phil

- you don't understand why Havok/Sunfire isn't a popular slash pairing

- you've considered writing a ship manifesto on Kitty Pryde and Jamie Madrox

- or on Doug Ramsey and Marie-Ange Colbert

- you find yourself extolling the virtues of Dazzler to your friends

- and see nothing wrong with this

- you've tried explaining X-Project to people who've never heard of it

- and mostly succeeded, except that they're convinced it's some kind of cult

- "What do you mean, Cannonball never dated Dazzler?"

- you mourned for Frank the lizard

- you squee out loud when a player slips a clever line you recognize from comics/movie into a log

- you quote X-Project

- you can't believe the comics writers keep ignoring Remy's crush on Lorna

- you like an X-project character more than their canon counterpart

- you think, "What's Jamie doing on Buffy?"

- you pick up the latest X-Men and think, "Where's Jetstream?"

- you read the old New Mutants and are disappointed to learn Cypher and Tarot never dated. And what do you mean, Mirage wasn't pregnant? Damn comics writers, screwing with X-Project continuity!

- when engaged in a debate about the best X-Men writers, you blurt out an XP writer

- and are surprised when everyone doesn't agree

- you hear such-and-such a writer is leaving a X-book and your first thought is, "Please let (Cable's, Amanda's, Juggernaut's) writer replace them!"

- you accept that Nathan has had major plastic surgery at least twice ;)

Well, how do you THINK he got his feet back up to normal size after Liefeld?

Yes, they used tissue from his shoulders and chest to rebuild them. :)

And they got all the extra parts from the twenty brazillion pouches.

Too much wit for your own good sometimes, you realize this... ;)

Well, Clarice does have a history of crushing on gay guys...

- you like an X-project character more than their canon counterpart

ABSOLUTELY!!!

From:

katschei.livejournal.com

Poor Clarice. *gives chocolate* (Can't you see it? *snerks*)

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Characters are just better here. *throws confetti*

From:

maureenans.livejournal.com

Clarice *giving an interview* : well, I knew he did silly dances with his sister and let her play with his hair, but I thought he was just being a good big brother! How was I to know that his fashion sense wasn't from hanging around with me?!

If you actually did write that ship manifesto I would be your biggest fan, which might result in some kind of fannish feedback loop.

From:

katschei.livejournal.com

It's so, so tempting. I *heart* them so bad. I don't know if the community maintainers would even let me. "It's an rpg? Wait, so you're saying there's not actually fic?"

Hysterical shriek: "There's more written about them than most of the pairings on here!"

"It's all by the same two people."

"So!"

But, man, X-Project meta would be so cool.

nute.livejournal.com

"It's an rpg? Wait, so you're saying there's not actually fic?"

Wait about a week. *G*

*giggles* The X-Project Fanfiction Archive. I know there are a couple of rpgs that get fanfiction about them. I just- Can you see the fic this game would produce?

Oh, God: Angie/Shiro (they fight because they love each other!). Alison/Betsy (they had a mind-link, I remember, and all the other mind-link couples are doing it). Haroun/Sam rival!slash! And... (wait for it, wait for it)-

Cain/Remy and the Boathouse of Love. OTP, man.

Cain/Remy and the Boathouse of Love. OTP, man.

oh good! I'm not the only one who thought of this! I'm just too chickenshit to mention it to either of their players for fear they'd DO it!

From:

deathpixie

Given Remy's player's reaction to the idea when I mentioned it to him, I doubt it's going to happen any time soon. *snickers*

From:

katschei.livejournal.com

I have no fear. Or possibly shame.

I've said it before, as it's one those mental images that just hurts and hurts and won't stop until you tell somebody. I believe it was Remy's player who told me, "That's just so very, very wrong..." Heh...

From:

dexfarkin.livejournal.com

Yeah, still is.

From:

silensy

It's not their players I'm worried about. It's the rest of the crazy people we play with.

From:

nute.livejournal.com

Brings new meaning to "NOTHING STOPS THE JUGGERNAUT!", don't it?

From:

katschei.livejournal.com

Oh, God, I can't breathe. I can't stop laughing and the images hurt and it's a bad hurt, aghhh...

There's no reality in which Juggs wouldn't be catching.

The X-Project Fanfiction Archive.

...

I've run a fanfic archive before... I already have the code, and access to the X_P website...

-shifty look-

From:

katschei.livejournal.com

We're a sick, sick crowd. But who would write the fic? Somebody would have to write the fic... *does not volunteer*

From:

deathpixie

Well, there's all those 2015 fics, for a start... *innocent*

From:

katschei.livejournal.com

You're not helping. *stern look*

But, oooh, there could be dirty fan art. I- I mean-

*stern*

From:

deathpixie

And there's all those drabbles that really ought to be collected in one place...

*flees*

And hey, we've had art before - the whole Brood plot came with pictures. :)

From:

katschei.livejournal.com

For convenience's sake, uh huh. You fool no one. (And also, drabbles? Huh.)

Well, we need a website to put it on. For convenient reference. (I'd forgotten that. *facepalms* It was so cool, too.)

From:

silensy

You know, I have this whole domain name that's not being used at /all/ right now...

From:

x-jeangrey.livejournal.com

We could use your space, or I could tag it up as part of the website. Either would be simplicity itself.

From:

silensy

Part of the website would be shiny. *nods* Then it's all like encapsulated and stuff.

Of course, the thing is that it's a fanfiction archive. And we're the players not the fans. So really...*eyes hapless fan community* they're the ones who should be filling it.

From:

misscora.livejournal.com

When I have time and a brain again, I'll start assembling code. Oh, and an LJ poll... I like LJ polls.

This is a really good point. Although I think by that theory, anything we wrote about our own characters (the 2015 series, frex) would not be fanfic and couldn't go up, but the drabbles that get written about other people's characters would be... Personally, I think we should just post everything.

From:

silensy

I'm not saying we /couldn't/ post our stuff. I'm just saying that that stuff is, what's the word, base canon for the fan types to run amuck with. *g*

From:

misscora.livejournal.com

-nod- And there should definitely be much amuck running, I feel.

From:

littlesilvered.livejournal.com

There's been other fan art too...the four legged kind. *hides*

From:

frito-kal.livejournal.com

*cough* There's a significant amount of "We're bored and have no plots to work on/need to work out some writing issues" alternate universes as well.

Most of which are never going to see the light of day, but at least one of which is very not bad.

From:

frito-kal.livejournal.com

*snicker* That's sooooooo wrong. ALL OF IT. ;)

It must be done, so that I can thwomp people.

From:

katschei.livejournal.com

I want to see it, if it happens.

I NEED to see it.

From:

rexlapinii.livejournal.com

Conveniently forget to tell them it's not for X-Men: Evolution?

Just write it and post it here or send it to us? :)

From:

misscora.livejournal.com

Yes, there would possibly be death by squee and eternal love forever. (Shut up, I know eternal and forever are the same thing, but it's 6:20am for feck's sake... -wants to be asleep-)
