WordWarior: Have any of the other bards been an influence on your work? Lady Europa: I like Bat Morda Bat Morda: The 16 pages of ITADOTD is a simple factor of DOUBLE SPACING. It's really only 8 which is nothing LN: uh huh Barron: Length isn't important... Dragonia: hi stryper Bat Morda: You know you are Wordee- and I want to be LN when I grow up. WordWarior: LN - you should talk, girl bsquared: ^Bard Chat in Progress Bat Morda: And Paula Poundstone. I want to be LN AND Paula Poundstone Dragonia: lol Barron: Nice combination Ivanhoe (John): Hi Bat, UM is shaping up great, but I'm wondering why you're releasing it one chapter at a time? Fryda: I do have some trouble finding your stories Fryda: on the net I mean Bat Morda: Good question Ive- it's cuz I'm a whimp and I finally caved in when people kept asking "when Is UM going to be done" so I just said- fine here take it you rabid readers!! WordWarior: What made you decide to write fanfic? Dragonia: lol Barron: Oh sure, blame us! Lady Europa: hehehe Bat Morda: I read DAx's Life From Death and thought "Gee, I wonder If *I* could do that" so I tried it. LN: Hey Bat? Do you think Janice could be warlordy? Does she have a dark growly side? If so, would you want to write something like that? Bat Morda: And I needed another time consuming hobby. Fryda: I am traducing some Missy Good stories at the time but your's are mmmm Fryda: ....good ! Lady Europa: brb Bat Morda: I think Jan's got some growly in her. Maybe I'll write it. I am working on TBTT III where Gab gets growly Barron: Grrrr.... YJ: Bat, do you write outside of the X:WP genre? WordWarior: Bat - how has fanfic changed your life? Bat Morda: I started a DS9 novel but it's not done. WordWarior: Will everyone want Xena in TBTTIII? NQNutball: Good question WW Ivanhoe (John): Doesn't everyone 'want' Xena anyway? Fryda: ugh Briareus: sorry I am late Bat Morda: Fan fic has changed my life in tons of ways. I'm single now for one. I think I'm a more confident person and people feel free to bug me about getting chapters out. WordWarior: John, yes, but TBTTII was remarkable for the shear volume of it WordWarior: Thanks, Bat. Interesting answer LN: How would you characterize your fan base? Bat Morda: Demented Dragonia: lol LN: Ha! Barron: LOL! idgie: lol Christine: lol Barron: I resemble that remark! NQNutball: I resemble that remark!! Barron: :Quite well Clotho: so do I Bat Morda: Kinda twisted in a charming sort of way Danan: thanks, Bat Clotho: :) Barron: I'm added that to my resume' WordWarior: In fact, Bat yells at them if they aren't twisted enough NQNutball: Ohhhh, scary Bat Morda: Only when playing Twister (tm) LN: Right foot red.. YJ: Bat, what's your favorite story that you've written? Bat Morda: I like UberMadness the best cuz I think it's got the best sex scene I've done. I also like The Party. I like parts of all of them. WordWarior: Other than DAX's piece, was there a piece of fanfic that influenced you? NQNutball: I like the party too Ivanhoe (John): The party was *very* hot. LN: :Must remember to cover virgin ears while here Fryda: liked it too Barron: :UM sex scene.... Gurgle... Bat Morda: Not as such Wordee. I read some things and think "Oh that's sooooo cool" but I don't necessairly try to do it. Danan: when are we going to see the rest of UM? WordWarior: I'm going to repeat an earlier question: What's your favorite input device? Bat Morda: Heh... like I wasn't expecting that question. You'd think I might have thought of an answer. I'm not sure. NQNutball: Hope it's sson LN: Her Zip Drive Ivanhoe (John): How did the other bards feel about appearing in UM? Bat Morda: My fav input device is a track ball. I'm also partial to digital pens and the keyboard is handy. Bat Morda: Silly- Zips are *storage* Bat Morda: Sorry, i just missed a question... Chalet: hello everyone!!! WordWarior: I apologize for being that personal. thanks for being so candid Barron: What about this "subtext" thing? Ivanhoe (John): How did the other Bards feel about appearing in UM? Briareus: :subtext??? what is that? Bat Morda: As far as I know they dig it. Although they've gotta be nice to me or I'll kill 'em off in the big battle. Fryda: Bat there are children in the house ! Bat Morda: Subtext? Never heard of it. Barron: Figured! Clotho: :) Chalet: overttext YJ: Who's easier to write for X&G or M&J? LN: I think that LN character in it needs more screen time Ivanhoe (John): Any response from the assembled bards? Briareus: well the children should pick better places to hand out... ;) Barron: And I like that Barron guy... Barron: He seemed nice and all... Danan: did you let your fictionals come with you tonight? Clotho: what was your question, Ivanhoe? WordWarior: When did you first notice the subtext in the series? Briareus: I don't know how the bards feel, but Barron has been very full of himself ever since... ;) Bat Morda: I'd say I have the easiest time writing Janice, then Xero, Evil Xena, Xena then Gabrielle and Mel Bat Morda: Okay, what did I miss? Ivanhoe (John): That sounds like a dark side of your own Bat. Bat Morda: I've got a lot of dark LN: Wordee wanted to know when you first saw 'it' Bat Morda: What? Ivanhoe (John): !subtext Bat Morda: The show *it*? LN: You know..."it" Bat Morda: Oh that *it* she wont' let me see *it* Barron: In the NZ... "subtixt" Bat Morda: She saw *it* and she laughed at it. Ivanhoe (John): She??? Fryda: it's getting funny now WordWarior: no, no, not that it Bat Morda: Sorry, I'll try not to be funny. I'm usually pretty serious WordWarior: I asked when you first saw subtext in the series Bat Morda: Ohhhhh THAT it. Barron: )teehee Fryda: yeah WordWarior: I assumed you didn't want the entire room to know about the other it Briareus: Bat, will you ever write another X&G story? Janice and Mel is fun and all but it's a shame to confine your talent to Uber.... Bat Morda: Er... right away I guess. Danan: did you let your fictionals come with you here tonight? Bat Morda: The Binds That Tie III will be X & G WordWarior: from who's POV? NQNutball: Goody LN: Will there be technology involved in TBTT III? Barron: That LN is a baaaad influence! Bat Morda: Entitled: A Bard's Revenge Briareus: BTT III? From the perspective of the strap-on? Barron: In a good way! WordWarior: light dark light dark Bat Morda: Well, make that 3B Ivanhoe (John): More binds? ALRIIIIIIGHT!!! Barron: LOL! NQNutball: LOL LN: Whatever happened to Kaltor though? Bat Morda: From Gabby's point of view. I'll work on it when the J&M Horror story is done. WordWarior: Yeah! Barron: LOL! Bat Morda: Maybe from Kaltor's POV WordWarior: We NEED to know Kaltor's ultimate fate! Fryda: Hey where can I find ALL those stories on the net LN: Yes, We must know! Barron: Hurting myself laughing! Bat Morda: Mary D's page, or Obsession. All my stuff is there. Fryda: Thanks LN: um.. WordWarior: What was the inspiration for using persist twice in the space of a few words? LN: Wordee.. Bat Morda: I SUCK... I SUCK... just an accident Dragonia: lol WordWarior: You don't suck Chalet: lol NQNutball: Certainly not WordWarior: What makes you so golldarned lovable? Briareus: Bat, Why don't you have your own page? There seem to be enough people obsessed with you (glance at Barron) and that would make getting the new stuff out easier...... LN: I thought 'persisting to persist' was sheer brilliance Ivanhoe (John): If you do, I'm sure you do it well. WordWarior: me too, LN Bat Morda: Er... cuz I'm busy writing??? Ivanhoe (John): And don Barron: It's like word poetry LN... Bat Morda: And I wouldn't want Barron to feel like he isn't needed.... Ya know? A stalker's got his pride Barron: I do? Barry Marshall: lol Barron: I wondered what that was... Bat Morda: And Wordee... I am *not* lovable. WordWarior: you are! you are! Barron: I beg to differ!!! LN: According to my t-shirt you are.. Bat Morda: Awwwww shucks. If i could blush I would bsquared: the t-shirt never lies Barron: If you love Bat turn into a yellow ball! Barron: See.... Bat Morda: LOL Dragonia: oops Briareus: well you wouldn't be the one to run it, what I meant is that with this level of obsession there'd be 'net shrines' popping up all over the place Fryda: Never be ashamed of talent ... and charism WordWarior: she has two shrines Bat Morda: Kinda like a totem pole? LN: So, what's this about a Jan & Mel horror story? Wfwfwf: Bat-are you going to have Jack remeet Janice and Mel anytime soon? Ivanhoe (John): Barron's already done it so well Bat Morda: Oh, I can handle critisim. Barron: :blush Bat Morda: As for the horror story, it's called Ghost Story so far and I'm going to see if I can scare myself Fryda: criticism can also be good Bat Morda: I bring back Raven from TBA Barron: Raven was a hoot! Fryda: Yeepee! Kore: ooh Barron: And a scary bunny! LN: Poor Raven was in therapy hell WordWarior: Was your first story Broken Arrow? Ivanhoe (John): Raven was really, really kule.

Barron: You always remember your first... Ivanhoe (John): Why did you re-write TBA? LN: heh.. Clotho: :/ Briareus: you rewrote TBA? Bat Morda: Not too long, a month or so. Cuz it was my first and my Abrasive Editor (not the nice one) said it *really* showed it. Fryda: she glued it Fryda: LOL Bat Morda: I fixed grammar and junk. And worked on the sex scene a little LN: I enjoyed those little pools of water that kept the time..that was kewl! Bat Morda: Now I edit junk before I send it out there. Bat Morda: I'd like to get some installed in the living room. Barron: Idgie would just love that.... Bat Morda: Oh god she'd make such a mess. She loves to splash in water LN: Hey Bat? Why was Gabrielle's Ambrosia Scar (tm) so sensitive in ITADOTD? Briareus: LN - cause you can never have too many sensitive spots Bat Morda: Cuz it's little known that Ambrosia is a highly toxic substance. But in a good way LN: Well, she seemed to like it.. Barron: What's your favorite alt fict euphemism? LN: :swollen bud? Briareus: :again goes Barron with his netherlips[tm]...... Bat Morda: Oh yeah!!! I'd say euphe.. whatever would be "pestle" and "ha ha" WordWarior: ha! Barron: You leave my netherlips out of it! Bat Morda: Not exactly fan fic... yet Bat Morda: I want to work "ha ha" into a story though Barron: Maybe in the hooor story WordWarior: I'm working on making them household words Bat Morda: They are in my household LN: I just used 'ha ha' the other day I'll have you know WordWarior: I noticed, LN WordWarior: You're a fine human being LN: That was for you, wordee honey..

(G) Ivanhoe (John): Those girls just want to have fun WordWarior: LOL Briareus: girls having fun... ahhh those were the good times!

Bat does LN, Wordee does Missy, LN does Wordee Ivanhoe (John): Good thought Word, whose style are you gonna do? Briareus: I think that 'other bard's' style should be Bat's style ;) Merwolf: I'm getting a headache. Bat Morda: I'm all over it. Wfwfwf: once is never enough Barron: Everyone should write like Bat... Only faster :-) MaryD: Wordee can do Missy but I doubt LN can write Missy...no offence LN but it's just not your style Merwolf: That's ok.. I can't do LN. (G) WordWarior: Oh give it a go, Missy!

Bat Morda: Especially if it's Missy WordWarior: geographically that would be tough bsquared: oh my! Bat Morda: She's a wild one. MaryD: In your stories the whole thing will be hazy WordWarior: except for Bat and I and no one would wanna know that bsquared: that would add a whole new dimension to the Bard Chats Bat Morda: Haze is good Barron: Haze... MaryD: The Hazy Story written by LN LN: I've been in a ROC haze for a long time now.. Bat Morda: Well she's written childrens stuff. Merwolf: It's the eyes.

LN: It's the abs, frankly Merwolf: (chuckle) Bat Morda: That could get twisted Wordee Merwolf: I was trying to be nice. Ivanhoe (John): Word, that would be really, really, neat! Barron: I need to make "Bat Haze"... Briareus: : if it doesn't have swollen buds in it, I ain't reading it Merwolf: A rare thing, I realize. bsquared: "Swollen Buds" could be the title LN: That MaryD: Swollen Buds and Hazy Nights Bat Morda: You're too cute Barron, I don't pay you enough WordWarior: Swollen Buddies for the general crowd Briareus: "Swollen Buds meets Nether Lips" LN: heh..
