"megs on twitter!!!! Sorry about scaring u in the toilet last night...... Xx" -- @kayascollywogs

My life = MADE.

So, just like everyone else in the whole of fandom, I've been going into paroxysms of joy over the fact that Meg is on Twitter. I have a Twitter (@herdofbots) that I never use, except to stalk the Skins cast, but I keep getting the urge to tweet things @meg_prescott, all of them completely stupid. Like, I want to send her a link to the adorable nomming baby hippo and see if she just spazzes the fuck out.

... Oh shit, the person that posted that on Cute Overload? HER NAME IS MEG. I'm pretty sure the Pope isn't moonlighting as a blogger, but LOL FOREVER.

In other news, I didn't realise what a multishipper I was until I was planning out my Skins fic for NaNoWriMo earlier today and realised that I was including:

4 pairings I actively ship and want to end happily ever after
1 pairing I used to hate but am warming towards
1 pairing I like but am only really including out of obligation
3 pairings I hate (2 canon, 1 not), and
1 pairing just for the lulz.

Solution to this ridiculous, many-sided love polygon: orgy??

What is this incident in the toilet that kaya speaks of?????

IDK! My imagination is running WILD.

LOLLL

(I don't remember that interview at all, so I have NO IDEA what Meg is gesticulating about.)

I don't remember what she's saying either, but I love that both Prescotts talk with their hands.

IKR? They're adorable. ♥

I like that she's also following her ON-SCREEN DAD. Hope she enjoys those tweets about how much he enjoyed snogging Mama Fitch.

LOL oh God, that's the one part of series four that I'm NOT looking forward to. TV parents snogging is always wrong.

I LOL'd for real at this. I can just see her reading the tweets and Meg!facing everywhere.

I am like, waiting in SUSPENSE for her to tweet something. Hippos? Desperate Housewives? Kaya + Toilets? I DON'T CARE BUT I AM EXCITED.

Also, totally stoked for this Skins fic. OT9? I'd ship it.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2009-10-15 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh man, me too! I can't believe she's only posted THREE WORDS so far.

Honestly, I had no idea I had so many ships! I think it's going to be fun to write.

YES PLEASE to orgy. But you must have known I'd say that!

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2009-10-15 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, I feel like I should point out that there's not ACTUALLY going to be an orgy. ;) But there will be many, many different pairings.

[identity profile] muiriosa.livejournal.com 2009-10-15 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I surprise myself sometimes when I think of just how many pairings get my (very important!!) stamp of approval so it'll be interesting to see what you come up even if there is no orgy ;)

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2009-10-15 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I always feel like I'm an OTPer but yeah, I'm really not. IDK, I hope I do something interesting with this mess of pairings!

Ah, so NaNoWriMo is code for your season four Au college fic to be posted in November? If so, how slutty are you making these kids? heh. I'm trying to think of four ships you want to work-and I'm only coming up with E/N. Perhaps K/E. I'm not sure canon/fanon ships you actively ship. I don't know if you ship Katie with anyone else than Emily or Effy (I'm a JJ/Katie fan, if you haven't picked up on that) I can't believe I don't know, if you've been in fandom for as long as I have *is dismayed*

If you are just going to pair these kids up willy nilly, bring on the otp to end otp...Thomas/JJ! (what?! It would totes work).

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2009-10-18 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, NaNoWriMo is this writing challenge (short for National Novel Writing Month) where you write a 50k novel in November, so I'm writing the series four fic for that.

Heh, I'm making some of the kids sluttier than others; Effy, unsurprisingly, is the sluttiest. ;) I guess I don't talk that much about which pairings I ship! So, yeah, there should be some surprises - hopefully good ones, although I think some people might not be pleased with the way it turns out.

If JJ and Thomas don't fly off into the sunset riding a rainbow coloured unicorn, I will be gutted.

I'm keenly anticipating this- I love the way you write Naomily particularly your grasp on minor, but crucial, character traits (Naomi is droll! Emily can be brazen!) so I waiting with bated mutherflipping breath for this mammoth to be posted. However...

I am perhaps just as excited to read your take on the other characters. Skins is simultaneously so wonderful and awful. Wonderful because it gives us these fantastic characters with so much depth, and awful because they can't plot for shit. It does however give writers such as yourself huge scope to weave your mojo and create something really magical (no pressure! heh.). I just love this silly little show and almost all the characters, so I'm thrilled they'll all be there and being all fierce (well, def in Katie's case).

LOL, one question- will you destroy the good ship Freffy? (*bats eyelids hopefully*)

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2009-10-18 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh, pressure! ;) Honestly, I'm not sure if *I* can plot for shit, and with the high-speed nature of NaNo... we'll see what happens. It could easily end up veering off into completely unexpected/ridiculous directions. And I'm pretty sure you have me shipping JJ/Thomas now, so WHO KNOWS what will happen.

will you destroy the good ship Freffy?

Count on it! ;)
