Oh God, internets, remember that GK Batman!AU I mentioned that mcl4r3n and I are writing? I finished the bare-bones beginning yesterday (including expanding a scene she scripted) and it's already 2600 words. It might be even longer after revisions.

The scary part? To quote that stupid song in 1408, "We've only just beguuuunnn..."

...moving on. I'll be posting what we've got so far very soon (after revisions, basically) as a very late birthday present to pjvilar and just a general treat for all interested parties.

Anyway, I was getting ready to post something amusing I found in stark_sands but then I remembered that hilarious incident from a few days ago. The same people involved are still there. What do y'all think for next time -- picspam, gifspam, or both? :D

P.S. - Since Le Boyfriend has classes until late tonight (and I am thus going to be bored out of my skull), I'll finally be able to get around to my Glee and Supernatural review posts (and not a moment too soon in terms of the former, considering the next one is tomorrow night *facepalm*)

ETA: Can anyone here think of a legitimate reason someone would be driving along with their car alarm blaring? Did I just see a stolen car go by in broad daylight? Or could it have been someone repo-ing the car (like Poke says, best time to do it is in a crowded parking lot in broad daylight because "nobody gives a fuck"). Idek, guys.

Things I learned from watching Zorro earlier this afternoon:

- Anything and everything Antonio Banderas does is sexy. Even getting into a shouting match with Catherine Zeta-Jones.

- Catherine Zeta-Jones uses the same mix of witchcraft and virgin blood as Stark to avoid obvious signs of aging.

- Grand, sweeping, Spanish-sounding orchestral arrangements make everything better. Everything.

- Rich people are bad (unless they are Zorro).

- Americans are worse (rich Americans are, by extension, the Antichrist).

This was the second movie but, now that I think of it, those pretty much apply to all of them.


Anyway, here's the long-promised first snippet of the GK Batman!AU mcl4r3n and I have been cooking up:

Title: Celer, Silens, Mortalis
Author(s): emerald_skies and mcl4r3n
Pairing: Brad/Nate
Rating: PG-13 so far (for language and violence)
Summary: A Batman AU featuring Brad as Batman, Ray as Alfred (yes, you read that correctly), Walt as Robin, and many others.

Author’s note: Many thanks to everyone who gave feedback, helped with the little details, or just generally waved pom-poms in support of this little story that could. This story is for all of you <3

(  The weather forecast for the greater Gotham area promises that the thundershowers of earlier in the afternoon will melt off by nightfall… )

Happy (very late) birthday, pjvilar. Hope you like your present *g*


Cheers.
