The Adventures of a Girl and Her Dragon

Mostly episodes that were clearly meant to air earlier, though they actually aired near the end of the series (EMP, for a prime example), where I really want to cross TKR over with my original characters, strictly so someone can tell Kyle to his face that he's a dick. (I suppose the honor would go to Dani, since she's the leader.)

Of course, speaking of dickish behavior, it's probably wrong for Armageddon to refer to Attack Beast as "an adorable li'l thing". (What? I parked next to an F150 today and was reminded how SMALL they are next to my truck.) Speaking of the parking lot at Albertsons, I probably shouldn't have spent quite so much time staring in delight at the Jeep Rubicon that was parked across from me; my excuse is that I was trying to decide if it'd fit in the bed of my truck. ^__^

Absolutely STARVING, for TKR fic.

Now, I am the first to admit that TKR? Not actually a good show. (Come on, it was part of Action Pack, which gave us Hercules, Xena, and a buttload of shows without leads capable of somehow making up for the complete failure of everything around them.) I watch it NOW, and I think, "Self, I totally understand why, first run, you missed about half these episodes." Because I was just there for the talking cars - try to act surprised - and none of the talking cars could hold a candle to KITT (or even KI3T).

There are only 22 TKR fics on the Pit of Voles. This in itself should tell us something. (Edit: Of these, I have read the four readable ones. One I recoiled from like a vampire when Jenny walked into a "Christian themed coffee shop"*, and several are written in German. Why did I stop studying German?)

And yet, having mainlined the show (on second complete view-through right now; thank you, Hulu) and started writing the TKR team into the Indestructible verse, I am desperate for fic worth reading. I...I may have to write it myself. *sob*

Also, there is a Toyota Tundra staring at me hopefully going, "I think a REALLY BIG SHIPPING CONTAINER should be arriving at the KITT Cave any day now, don't you?" *sigh* Oh, Tundra, why couldn't you just stay happy as a Maximal reindeer, I ask you? (No, "Because you stopped writing Beast Wars" is not an answer. Go away.)

Edit: I CAN HAZ ALBATROSS NAO! (Yes, fine, most of my 750 words involved brainstorming TKR fic.)



*Although now I do kind of want to see "Holy Grounds" appear in Highlander fic, because there it could have LOLarious uses. Or possibly in Forever Knight. And no, I am not going for the obvious Knight crossover.

By the second half of the series, they managed to correct the FLAG seals to say Foundation FOR Law and Government. Pity that after they went to that trouble (and repainting the bikes), the series got cancelled. :P

It's probably wrong that I want to write Jenny/Erica comfort sex after [spoiler].

(Today is my one day off this week; yes, I am going to waste it watching the entire run of TKR. Don't judge me.)

I spent this morning trying to get Dante to understand that yes, he does have printers. He used them ALL DAY YESTERDAY (when I was printing out things for today's Bark for Life, which is like the Relay for Life, only you take your dogs with you; we is a sponsor). The print spooler kept being off, even though I kept going into services and restarting it and double-triple-quadruple checking that, yes, the print spooler is set to auto restart. I rebooted. I turned him off completely. I turned the PRINTERS off. At one point, he recognized the printers as printers, but still claimed "function not available" when I'd try to, you know, PRINT.

This, my friends, is what you get when you name a computer after an SUV with a huge stick up his tailpipe. :P

Eventually, I said, "Fuck you," installed the latest Windows updates so they'd stop nagging me, and rebooted.

And his printers came back.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW, YOU GUYS! Rommi never gave me this kind of trouble even back when we were running Win 3.1.

So today's 750 words started mostly about my adventures with apparently drain bamaged computers, and ended with me outlining how to bring the TKR cars into the Indestructible-verse. *facepalm* Because simply having two KITTs clearly can't get me into enough trouble. (Billy wants Domino. Domino is all, "Yeah, no," about it.) THIS IS BECOMING LIKE THE CRACKOVER* ONLY ANGSTIER.

Also, today I discovered that if you go 20 days without distractions, you get an "undistractible" mutant hamster inna hamster ball badge. :D


*For those who weren't around for my last NaNo project, it was a crossover between Knight Rider, Knight Rider 2008, Supernatural, and Bayformers. The Impala is sekritly an Autobot. KARR kidnapped Dean. Mike and Michael bonded over cheap diner coffee while they waited for their supercars to be towed back to base. Hence the name, crackover. There is still a part of me that wants to finish it.
