True Love Ways: An Earth 723 Nightcrawler Fic (COMPLETE AT

Part Six The bus lurched over the ruined earth like a boat on a choppy sea. Captain Kurt Wagner rubbed the sleeve of his jet-black uniform against the crusty window, only to realize most of the filth clouding his view was on the outside of the glass. Not that there was much to look at out there. Jus...

toy Story 3

Hello from Italy! I just saw this movie tonight, in a little movie theater in a small, out of the way corner of Orvieto, and it was AWESOME!!! Even though the whole thing was dubbed in Italian (the Spanish bits had Italian subtitles!) I was able to catch most of it and the story came through loud an...

Well, I've been playing with the pattern and watching a lot of how-to stuff on YouTube and I think I can really improve the uniform, ears, hair and tail. I also tried an experiment in division and ended up with a really cute tiny Nightcrawler! Math can be so cool sometimes. So, I figure I could offe...

Doctor Who Discussion

Thanks Elfdame. :D I actually brought a Dalek (toy) to class with me when I was talking about the lasting psychological effects the World Wars had on Europe. Lots of those lingering fears ended up in the post-war popular culture--particularly in Cold War-era Sci-Fi movies and TV shows, Doctor Who mo...

Doctor Who Discussion

I think the Daleks are scary. There's a lot of really scary ideas attached to them: mechanized total war, genetic engineering, eugenics, genocidal racism. And I think they must have been much scarier originally, in the 1960s, because the World Wars were still pretty fresh in cultural memory and the ...

The character of Nightcrawler has always had a special importance for me. When I was an undergraduate stressing about changing my major, I read Nightcrawler ...
