 Meme llama approves
Tonight's piece of weekend frivolity: [info]kinkyturtle gave me a W, so here's 10 things I like that start with W, plus a brief explanation for each one. If you respond to this message, I will give you a letter to do this -- in your own LJ, not in the comment section.

Meme mutation bonus: You are encouraged (but not required) to give your explanations in some form of constrained writing -- haiku; rhyming couplets; no words of two syllables; no use of the letter "e"; the first letter of each sentence has to spell MARBLECAKE; or just make some interesting rule up.


Writing -- What can I say? Language is exciting. Stories are powerful. I am a mere servant to my muse. I'm going to assume that by now you've all seen my fiction LJ and I have no need to plug it.

Worldbuilding -- I've been building up an urban-fantasy alternate Earth, piece by piece, for about ten years now. Above and beyond the dozens of short stories and multiple novels set there, I'm still slowly working on the setting's wiki and getting an overview of the whole thing in place. Why, did I just slip another W word in there? Yes, yes I did.

Wings -- I get vertigo on bridges and at the top of cliffs and buildings. It's not because I hate heights, it's because I'm at the mercy of gravity. My reflexive urge for flight doesn't mesh well with the knowledge that should I find myself in midair I'm only going to go in one direction.

Wolpertingers -- The Wolpertinger (Crisensus bavaricus) is a fictional animal said to inhabit the alpine forests of Bavaria in Germany. A horned rabbit similar to the American "jackalope", it is often also depicted with wings and fangs. Stuffed Wolpertingers, composed of parts of actual stuffed animals, are often displayed in inns or sold to aJ@K#$%RfgAFK#%n

-- We interrupt this post to bring you breaking news: The world's most irregularly updated webcomic has just updated. Confirmation has been obtained. We repeat: MAAD HAS UPDATED.

Authorities are urging the public to remain calm.

This brings "My Afternoon: A Dramatization"s mean lifetime frequency to 0.0025 updates/day (MTBU = 484 days). Experts at the Center for Male Bovine Excretory Statistics believe that this may signal a resurgence in MAAD activity, but caution that it is still too early to draw conclusions.

 The triumphant return of the world's most irregularly updated webcomic!
I'm not participating in NaNoWriMo this year; I couldn't quite work up the enthusiasm to put absolutely everything else in my life on hiatus for a month. I thought for a while about whether I wanted to undertake a similar challenge, though. And one of the things that I promised myself I'd try during November was posting webcomics again.

So!

[My Afternoon: A Dramatization]

Longtime readers may remember MAAD from my old journal (this isn't my journal, it's my LJ). If you want a quick refresher, links to all the previous comics are here.

I'd just like to note that this brings MAAD's Mean Time Between Updates to 0.99 years/strip. However, it also drops my lifetime cliche average to merely 20%. I'll have to remedy this by writing some more webcomic cliches into my life.
