"I cannot see that James Callis is straight."

Once upon a time, [livejournal.com profile] roz_mcclure did a Shakespeare Balloon Poll.

And once upon another time, I was born a vicious copycat.

So here we are.

[livejournal.com profile] roz_mcclure: [note: all science in this is shit. because it is a balloon poll, and therefore about the most important questions of human survival, like, "who would you push out first, the loyal sidekick or the dashing antagonist?" SO THE WAY YOU PLAY IS: you vote for whoever you would throw out of the balloon, not who you want to stay in. Every few days, whoever has the most votes gets pitched over the edge and a new poll is put up with the remaining cast. JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE!]


I was totally thinking about who would win in a fight, Rapunzel or Snow White, and then I realized: THIS SHOULD BE A FAIRY TALES BALLOON POLL.

[Poll #1366231]

I am actually really excited to write hilarious, irreverent, wildly meta, smushy fairy tale fanfiction in smirking manner of Fables. PLZ, LET'S DO THIS! (And I promise not to make it all weird and lame with Snow White and the dude.)

P.S. Check it out, [livejournal.com profile] leiascully, you're my title quote again. ;)

YAY, PSYCHE FTW!

After this class, I'm pretty much over the nameless Damsels in Distress. Yes, Psyche may be a bit of an idiot, but at least she goes and sorts out her problems herself.

And thanks! Sinfest is a lot of fun. :D

And as soon as I wrote that I realized you meant Beauty. D'oh! But yes, she's awesome to. And comes from the same origins as Psyche, so, er, I'M NOT COMPLETELY CRAZY!

*slinks sheepishly away*

IT'S OKAY I AM ACTUALLY REALLY GLAD YOU COMMENTED ABOUT PSYCHE BECAUSE I HAD FORGOTTEN HER. And totally need to do some brushing up.

Hee, it has been too long since I saw Simon rub his eye and smile. TOO FRAKKING LONG.

Damsels in distress are boring. For instance, Sleeping Beauty. But I will just think of the retellings in which they have been made awesome. ZOMG have you ever read Theodora Goss's "A Rose in Twelve Petals"?

Psyche is also great! And so is Sinfest, although I have forgotten to read it for the last several years. Oops.
