Fic sequel meme + Lit paper pseudo-owned?

[ninety6tears]

We'll see if anyone cares to do this one (and yes, you could very possibly get more than a line):

Pick one of my stories and I will tell you the first line of its sequel. Even if I was never actually planning to write a sequel. Even if it already has a sequel -- I'll give you the first line of another version of its sequel!


So that lit theories paper I was angsting over. I hope I'm not the only person who sometimes waits days, maybe many many days, before looking at grades, but when Prof gave us the low-down on how we did he said the grades were literally all over the place and that there were a couple low 'D's and "Nobody panic, you can always revise, it's not a big deal" and I'm just preparing myself to see how much of a complete mess it was until I open up the email expecting to start taking notes on everything I needed to change on it...

I got a B. A medium to high B, which is hardly bad at all, considering. He was basically like, "You're asking a question that needs to have a whole book rather than a paper written about it, which is why it feels lacking in evidence, but it's a great question to ask."

\o/ ?

Now I just have to figure out what the HELL I'm doing for the longer paper, and I have NO CLUE. Sounds like I should have done this other topic instead, but alas.

And I really probably couldn't have done as well without the encouragement cause damn, that was a bad week, and I love you guys like a flaily thing:

hmmm... Ok, I thought I'd not be entirely and utterly predictable, and so I'm choosing 'Speech Bubbles'. :-)

and YAY for the paper! well done!!

(as for the 'waiting for days' part - not about the mark itself, because I *had* to know I'd passed the damned thing, but it was actually close to 2 months before I read what comments my supervisor had written about my MA dissertation. :-P)

I actually waited one or two months to look at the notes from my prof on my senior seminar paper after last semester. I just needed to wait until I was in a REALLY good mood, LOL.

Haha, "Speech Bubbles" was kind of hard, but here it goes (furthering the obscure Boston Legal references that are in SB results in major silliness, apparently).

"Also known as 'slumber' or 'pajama parties,' a social tradition common among Terran children," Spock said as if to merely clarify that he knew exactly what Jim was talking about, pausing like his answer should be self-evident. "No."

"Spock, how many times have we slept in the same bed? Or at least the same room?"

"Five times. The incident of your inebriation on Sarona VIII, our unfortunate captivity with the Orions, the incident of the phaser damage to the door of my quarters which took days to repair, the event of the transporter malfunction during which I had to mediate the severity of a concussion you sustained—"

"Yes, thank you, I was there. The point is, if we're going to be swamped with performance reviews until the late hours I would frankly prefer to work on it in my pajamas with some hot cocoa and an old, hilariously terrible Terran vid playing in the background."

"If my understanding of the concept is comprehensive," Spock granted, "members of the appropriate age group would argue that the ideal sleepover involves as little sleeping as possible."

Sitting a couple tables down, Uhura could no longer resist, and she broke out into laughter before asking, "What are you two talking about?"

LOL!
loved it! I was chuckling throughout, but I believe my favourite bit of it was: pausing like his answer should be self-evident. "No."

it's just so very... Spock!

thank you for this! *hugs*

haha, I love it when Spock's a bit of a smartass, so I'm glad that came across. :D

(Actual likely beginning to vaguely planned sequel?)

"Oh my gods," Kara said, laughing at the first sight of Kirk where they met up outside. "You look so pissed off."

"That was bullshit," he said.
