The last immortal reclined in the bath, gazing at the dawn. "A good day to die," she sighed as she reached for the toaster.

I moved the Freez-Kill applicator toward the ugly wart upon my neck. That's when the thing vanished, burrowing deeper.

This theme, or a very similar one, was also used in "American Horror Story: Freak Show".

Hi all, I want to recommend an episode to a coworker but I'm not even sure if it was a DC episode. The story was about a small group of vampires (maybe just two) getting fed up with their leadership's dismissal of the zombie epidemic and taking action to save a group of humans in order to preserve f...

"It has been too long," I whispered to the blade. Its answer came in the gentle hiss of steel on silk.
"I am ready, my love."

I've taken to using a different handle elsewhere and I'd like to bring this account in line with the others if I can. Is there a mechanism for changing my username?

You're probably right. I'm really out of practice with writing anything (this is actually my first DC forum visit in months because Life). Same! Seems a little slow here nowadays. But then again I've been less active in the spec fic community myself. I'm just catching up on a 6-18 month backlog of ...

I submit that the mega food corps *are* R'lyeh, with their eldritch R&D labs and non-Euclidean legal departments.

Also: great drabble, Taco.

I'm wondering... if Magneto had sufficient fine control and pattern knowledge, couldn't he make a credit card out of items at hand?

"Maxed out? "

"Here, try this one."

I totally buy it (har). Cashiers aren't paid to be decision makers and often get in trouble for trying. One example of many: a certain Dairy Queen employee required managerial input to determine if she could, in fact, make a Cheesequake Blizzard with blueberries in place of the officially sanctioned...

Love it

Her dreams of late were becoming too real. It seemed as though every bad thing she saw at night she'd see again on the news in the following days. She had to be getting depressed again. She shook herself and put on the "play want we want" station as she pulled into the freeway. She'd talk to Doctor ...

Ah, the inescapable tyranny of efficiency. I'm wondering what we'll do with middle managers when the Singularity occurs.
