The SSSS Scriptorium

[Laufey]

SectoBoss: that was amazing! Awesome, in character, fit seamlessly in to the storyline, scary and disturbing and all around most best, you're seriously one of my favourite fanfic writers ever.

Btw extra love for using the word draug - draugur = ghost in Icelandic, only the Icelandic ghosts are not spirits but more like zombies.
(Draugar are sometimes relatively harmless but the bad kind are the ones that have died with such grudge against someone that they'll follow them afterwards until they kill that person or drive them insane. The worst of these follow entire family lines until they've destroyed them to the last member, or simply haunt some place and attack whoever happens by.)

Haiz: EEEEEEEEEEEEE that is beautiful! I love the descriptions of the tumblrs, because that is the way it would be and I am cracking up over Emil's hipster-blog-thing and and and ALL THE OTHER STUFF.

Sectoboss, that is TERRIFYING. I ... hadn't thought about what radiation poisoning would do to a troll. Very well done!

Your fault, Sharion.

~*TRANSLATED VERSION*~

I was reading this on the sub train, on my way to work.
Early morning, every sensible person looking like pickled cucumbers sucking on lemon pieces doused in vinegar - then, there was me, grinning like an idiot, sometimes snickering loudly, even. (Tried to hold back. Promise!)
I think the cucumb lady sitting next to me turned so wall-eyed by trying to get a glimpse of the text I was reading, that I heard the ghosts of generations of connoisseur chameleons sighing in utter joy all around us. (I guess she doesn't know the trick of eyeing something through the back of her head. Professor Mad-Eye is unsatisfied.)

Thanks for making my day, both of you!

Right, this is something I wrote after page 299 went up and it's been sitting on my computer ever since. I wasn't sure what to do with it but after much deliberation I figured I'd post it here. My apologies for the length. Here goes nothing!

Edit: Silly me didn't read the first page of the thread and posted the behemoth here. You can now read it here.

In which Emil is bitter, Reynir is confused, and Tuuri is me.

Emil shifted his glare from Reynir’s face to his wild mane. “That braid… If only they knew. With one word I could tarnish your reputation, and with one picture, I could destroy it forever. If they ever find out-”
Reynir panicked and leaped to his feet. “HEY! That’s a secret!”

WHAT SECRET
HOW COULD ANYTHING BE WRONG WITH THOSE LUXURIOUS BILLOWING SILKY GLORIOUS LOCKS IN A PERFECT SYMMETRICAL BRAID?!?!!?

If you take a look over at the first post of this thread, you'll see that we prefer works over 1000 words to be hosted externally and linked.

Some good places to do that are Archive of Our Own or Fanfiction.net. Also that way other people can read your fanfic too, people who maybe don't browse the forums!

If you'd rather not post it publicly and you have a google account, you can use Google Drive and make the document viewable to anyone with the link, then share that link here!

Oops. So sorry about that. That must get annoying to see. >_<
I don't have an account to any of the other places, so it's on googledocs.

Are you sure you want to know...?

And what sort of things have you been writing? ;P

That was funny ^w^ I really liked the interaction between Mikkel and Sigrun!

That was one of the things I liked too!  (Aside from Reynir's fan-phobia and Tuuri's braid fixation...) 

[Sigrun's] voice came out in rasps. ... She could hardly get the words out as she asked, “Mikkel, honey, can you get me some water?”
[Mikkel] from off-set: “I am not your ‘honey.’”
“Oh, just get me some water, you big brute...."

Thanks to everyone who said nice things about that piece of sleep-deprived nonsense I posted a couple of days ago!

Laufey: as I understood it, draug were the spirits of drowned sailors, at least according to my book on Scandinavian mythology (my ownership of which is solely due to this comic and aRTD). Looking at the book a bit harder, I think that take on them is more Norwegian than Icelandic, so you’re right and I guess it doesn’t quite make sense for Icelandic sailors to be using the word in that context.

Blackjazz: that was a great little fic, but you cannot leave us in suspense over the braid like that!

[Laufey]

Drowned sailors can definitely become draugar though, one common myth on how you can create a zombie is to find a sailor's corpse before anyone else gets to it and wake it up by magic. Some more unfortunate myths hint that the person has to have died knowing they were dying, which is why the magicians who murder their to-become-draugar f.ex. strangle or drown them. But it would make all the sense in the world to use that word in this context! 

EDITing to add: according to Google translate the Norwegian draug and Icelandic draugur are also pronounced quite differently.

hello scriptorium, I bring thee
HIGH SCHOOL AU PART 3: the sleepover saga

There are discussions of Gender and Orientations in this one, so if that bothers you in any way, you might not want to read this I guess...........

I hadn't really intended to go this direction with my AU, but I really had to write this. So. I'm going this direction with my AU. What's high school without confused teenagers!! and it's also maybe uh. going in a shippy direction which makes me a hypocrite, but it's not like you guys seem to mind that kinda thing so much, sooooooooo

yeah
