This sounds awesome and I would reallly like to read it! I hope it might get posted someday in the future!

Alas, no. Some parts of fandom have gotten too judgmental about what people write in fanfiction/kink-shaming for my tastes and I don't really need those stressors. Sometimes you just wanna write things that are hilariously awful and depraved and subject your friends to them without worrying that there's people out there thinking you = the crazed fanfiction that you write on the internet.

(But if you're talking some other version of a dark!AU, you never know. I have learned to never say never.)

THINK OF KING JONNY AND HIS DARK QUEEN PATRICK WHO KILLS ALL THE ADVISERS WHEN THEY LOOK AT HIM WRONG. (Wrong being just looking, period. Dark Queen Patrick does not put up with fools. Especially when pregnant with Dark Prince Samuel.)”

It was just so much fun. Usually you have to think of what's "in character", and here, it was just, WHAT'S THE MOST EVIL THING WE CAN MAKE HIM DO. OFF WITH THEIR HEADS. Yes, good. Sometimes you just need dark!aus to balance the fluff. For fuuuun.

Also, just, come on, a little Sammy all dressed in black, probably has several nannies "disposed of" by the time he's five because they allowed his teddy bear to become injured. Silly nannies.

i think when you wrote/plotted dark canada we just went mad with power and that's what happened. it's a slippery slope to cutting off heads and nuking, what was it, australia? sweden? (everywhere.) (jonny was a sad princeling.) (mad with power.)

And Patrick just nods approvingly, because it's good for Sam to take responsibility for his own education and the deficiencies of the people around him. Patrick affixes a little patch around Teddy's eye; he looks very roguish, like a pirate now. Sam is satisfied; Teddy will heal thanks to his mother's ministrations. 

(Everyone else is terrified to see the Queen carefully affixing a scrap of cloth to a bear's head as the Prince watches hopefully, anxiously. It just seems wrong somehow. Those hands just finished agony-boothing a page, and now they're being So Gentle on a stuffed bear.)

I'll be able to say I knew you when!

You are clearly the luckiest. The stories you would get to tell!

It's like looking at your ID vortex.

Pretty much. Pure, unadulterated ME right there in your FACE.

:DDDDDDDD It must be christmas

I get to get away with even more stuff than I did in IGAL! I RELISH the opportunity.

I want to go to there. <3

Sometimeeeee. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate before I can start posting that though, so I'm trying to make myself finish things In a Row.

All of my Sammy Kane feelings forever. THEY BUUUURN.

SAMMEHHHHHHH; Johnny was right, he has the best baby.

torigates replied to your post “What is Jonny's favourite thing about Sammy?”

"He could listen to him for hours. (And he does.)" FIRST OF ALL, HOW /DARE/ YOU!!!!!!!!!!

All I've been doing is writing pointless Sammy Kane snippet fic to procrastinate on doing things that I really need to do. Like the time where Sam's presenting his dad with an award and the teleprompter breaks, but Sam is all about the improvising. And going viral. Basically, any time that kid opens his mouth, magic comes out, and the internet eats that shit up with a spoon.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT TALKING PENIS!!!!

I was gonna make a "milkshakes to the yard" joke but I couldn't quite get it to come together. :( Pretend that a good one is here.

I am marvelling in horror I mean wonder. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

You'll mean both. Kaner's horrified enough for us all, really.

I'm honestly superexcited for the dick fic since I first heard about it, bc I love crack and you have a gret voice for comedic timing and there's not a better person to write this. So hearing that it will be posted soon makes me super happy! And two

endings, wow, with some extra cracky version to go, this is really exciting! I'm honestly not surprised Smallville is involved in this, I never got into it but that fandom for real. It's nice to see it's still delivering after all these years. :D

That is very lovely to say! I didn't take short-cuts with this one, I don't think, so if there's gonna be just one talking dick story in this fandom, by gum, I hope that mine will be able to withstand the test of...time. And yeah, basically a lot of my fictional likes/dislikes/feelings were hardwired by Smallville fandom, so. If branding shows up at any point here, I know exactly where to point.

I am so, so ready for this. Tim and I understand each other and I am cheering for him to Get His Man. (Now I want to see Jonny having to deal with a talking penis too, though. That would be magical.)

Don't start talking about this, or I'll start thinking about it, and then you will NEVER EVER GET S. TOEWS

i'd gif it if i could figure out what they were saying to each other at that time :/

YOU DID GOOD, and I just wanna say thank you for being a critical force of good in fandom's times of need, like CONVENTIONS.

Aahhh Jonny looks so good! thank you for posting this, you're so lucky you get to be there in person. What did George Saad say? Was he up on the panel? Any videos or pics of this? Lol Sorry for all the questions!

George Saad was up on a panel with Saader, Shawzy and Shawzy's father, talking about raising their kids and how they became hockey players. Unfortunately, the whole panel's not up, but here's a clip. Basically, he just had a really nice attitude toward parenting and talked about how:

- Saader said he wanted to quit hockey at 14/15, but that was a challenge they overcame

- Saader's super good at math, and could have gone to school for it and been a ~great proficient~

- it's important to support your children with their ~dreams~

Thanks for recap! Been looking for fan-driven links and vids and the like for convention coverage :D

Ha, that's all on 1whiskers - I wasn't going to liveblog this year, but it seemed like she'd enjoy it so before I knew it, I was plugging in my camera and being like, huh, what happened today.

Waaaaait wait wait wait, I have been (way) outta the loop and like--I think I figured out why the random coke/toews refs; but what's this abt Sharpy and his little boo having a dust-up?

WELL. The scandalous rumors that floated around were many and plentiful, but namely:

- Sharpy punched a drunk Kaner at a local bar called The Pony (try saying that without cracking up, I dare you) and the punch was either over Sharpy sleeping with Kaner's girlfriend OR they were fighting over local meteorologist Cheryl Scott. I have seen it relayed several ways. Or he was just punching Kaner because Sharpy was out of control and Kaner sat at the bar after and "looked devastated". (Quoting from a rando's instagram.)

The "physical altercation" was referenced briefly in an article on why Sharpy was likely to be traded here. But I guess Kaner just has the most forgiving of hearts (or slept with Abby - to be clear, I AM STARTING THAT RUMOR, right here, I have not seen that one going around because I am JOKING RIGHT NOW I am joking an EXTREME AMOUNT. But possibly Kaner slept with Abby so he knew he had the punch coming and that's why he seemed to be in good spirits around Sharpy at the convention. Or he's just a good egg that forgives lots.)

You missed a lot of action while you were out of the loop, clearly.

did kaner shift things up with a navy polo this year, or is that just a...lighter shade of black?

It looked black to me, but now that you mention it...I dunno.

I would die of 2ndhand embarrassment, but I'd also pay to see someone ask about tazer's co-kane habit
