People! Friends of mine! I have remarkable news! AMC has just optioned a TV show from Frank Darabont that will be about life after the zombie apocalypse! The only way this could be better is if it were a war with zombie raptor nazis!

Man, that totally reminds me that I never posted the cracky fake voicemail conversation that baylorsr and I had a couple months ago. This is what happens when Eric Kripke takes the whole swine flu thing a little to far.

Yo, this is McG. I'm busy directing Charlie's Angels 3: All Bikinis All the Time. Leave a message and I'll hollaback when I'm done dumping water on Cameron Diaz.

Yeah, this is Bob Singer. I need you to get rid of Eric Kripke. I know you said that we need a guy like him to give the show geek cred or something but I cannot deal with him anymore. He's started leaving messages on my voicemail at all hours of the day and night about the swine flu and The Stand. If you don't fire him then I'm going to take matters into my own hands and nobody wants that. Don't forget all the hoops Fox had to jump through to cover up what Whedon did to those writers on Dollhouse. Just get rid of the guy and we'll finally be even.

This is Robert Singer. I can't take your call right now, but leave me your name and number and I'll get back to you.

McG here. I wanted to let you know Kripke and I are co-writing an episode for next year: Night of the Stripper Zombies. Whatdya think?

Yo, this is McG. I'm busy directing Charlie's Angels 3: All Bikinis All the Time. Leave a message and I'll hollaback when I'm done dumping water on Cameron Diaz.

Hey, it's Eric. I don't want to cause a ruckus or anything, but Bob Singer's locked me in my office and said that he's coming to get you next. He's got that crazy eye tick going and I think he might have a gun tucked into the back of his pants.

Just, be on the look-out, okay? He really seems out of it.

This is the Krip. You know what to do.

McG here. Dude, just use Bobby's shoulder-launcher, it'll all be fine.

Oh, wait. It's BOBBY who's locked you up, isn't it? Bwahahahahahaha! Freakin' hilarious message, man, and then those calls to Security - priceless! The guards are pissing their pants laughing. Let's do drinks this weekend. Later.

Yeah, we think we're pretty adorable.

Also, I've been seeing that "Post Your WIPs" meme going around and I kind of wanted to play. I don't really want to post about my fic WIPs but I do have a couple original ideas that I thought I'd share with group.

Contemporary fantasy. Psychic kids who are requisitioned by the government and trained/brainwashed. A little bit That Place, a little bit B5, a little bit SPN. Siblings who have differing powers. Girl who’s been there forever and thinks she killed her family. Bad Girl who’s actually afraid of the world outside. Siblings stage a jail break and start searching for their family.

Full-on fantasy. Woman whose brothers, one the king, are killed and she has to assume the throne. Only ally is younger sister-in-law who is pregnant with her brother’s child. There’s a crazy representative from an Amazon-type gov who thinks that queen’s the fulfillment of prophecy and the High Priestess of the male-god wants to use the queen to restore her sect’s preeminence. High Priest of the female-god trying to cut queen off at the knees at every chance. Political and religious intrigue. A little DS9, a little Narnia. No class of ‘magic users,’ more of an everyday magic/Roman sort of place. Technology at an early 19th cent level. Worship of female-god is state religion but it’s been controlled by men for too long so weird standards have arisen. Reformation like woah. Possibly the worship of ancient, plural gods is also present.

Post-apocalypse road trip. The plague apocalypse has come and gone and all of the supernatural things in the world have started to wake up. Girl has dreams and decides to follow them looking for her family. Discovers that she had her family all along or something cheesy like that. A little American Gods, a little SPN, a little Wizard of Oz.

Can you tell I'm supposed to be studying for finals. Stupid finals, don't they know I'm very busy doing more important things like refreshing my f-list waiting for new fic, any new fic, to be posted. Sheesh.

Also, the Big Lug left for Belize this morning. Which is awesome for him but I am jealous like you would not believe. O.M.G.
