Festivid #2 successfully uploaded. Well, semi-successfully. Enough that I will call it done. *brushes off hands* Now to wait two weeks for go-live and a month for reveals.... Thankfully, in the intervening time there will be the Porn Battle.

True story:

I know you can secret something away. However, when someone writes "secreted," I see the past tense of "secrete" first. This sometimes makes lines in fic unintentionally amusing. For example, a reference to "Every single weapon Arthur has secreted about the flat." Like a human silkworm, only with guns.

I share this secreted thing with you, yes. I see the secretion before the secret. And now I won't ever stop picturing Arthur producing guns from his body; it's already become a full-blown Cronenberg!AU in my visual imagination now.

Someone could write an amazing story with that! someone like trinityofone perhaps. But not me.

I was going to reply to your first comment with unabashed encouragement to Make It So, but perhaps we need to deflect the encouragement to someone else. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Do I need to write a snippet!parody about Arthur having awoken one morning to find himself a gun-secreting insect?

I get like 1/3 of my fics done each year during that Battle! It is generally fruitful. Hopefully there will be a good batch of prompts. Though I suppose I can do a repeat of last year and fill a couple of my own. :)

...did this somehow become the_ragnarok's AU? (http://archiveofourown.org/works/170997) Haven't read yet, but just came across.

I might have linked on twitter! but I'll look and if it's on my journal I'll drop you the link. <3

Ah, makes sense.

Found it: http://anatsuno.livejournal.com/912024.html It was a very long spammy post, with a link to this entry in it. :)

Definitely missed that - thanks for linking. Probably was using mobile LJ app, which cuts off posts before you can get to the good stuff, and neglected to come back later.
