Me, 11pm, stumbling upon a 20k beauty on Ao3 :

It's just a oneshot. I got this. It'll be okay.

Me, 3am, eyes fried, brain melted, 3 hours of sleep left:

Well, fuck

Gather around kids, I am Very Old and I remember the summer of 2000. Good times on the Fox forums, deep in battle with the NoRoMos.

Mulder had just been abducted and Scully revealed she was pregnant. The Shippers were losing their minds and the NoRoMos were coming for us, saying it wasn't Mulder's baby, that it must have been the result of some alien experiment and therefore the baby was an alien. They trolled us by insisting the alien baby's name was Meepmork.

Does anyone else remember this or am I making it up?

Happy Gemini Season to my favorite Gemini Man, Walter S. Skinner from the X-Files!

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.
