Everyone buy Neil Gaiman a tropical island -- pass it on!

I try to not gack things from metaquotes, but I couldn't resist. Read this one, you have to: http://www.livejournal.com/community/metaquotes/3062935.html#cutid1

Stakebait and her brain have a conversation...

Id: We could buy Neil Gaiman a Carribean island.

Super Ego: Well yes, technically, I suppose we could. If we had a lot of money and knew Neil Gaiman.

Id: You don't have to know someone to buy them an island.

Super Ego: But I bet if you don't, the real estate agent looks at you funny.

Ego: [Googles] Look! They're not even that expensive! (Link to tropical island selling site deleted due to spawning 10E6 pop-ups)

My unfinished tales

I was looking through my abandoned bits of fic, and was curoius to see what I'd done, so thought I'd share, and hope other people might be interested in my self-analysis too. I am curious to know what other people have done; I know chess and anna have written entire novels and never mentioned it ;)

Empath Hospital

( The first thing I wrote since I was at school and had to do stories for english. )

Mablung, Damrod and the good Southron (in html here)

( This started as an effort to write characterise Mablung and Damrod and write slash about them for Pip (thanks!), but spawned lots of ideas about Southron culture and legends. )

Graveyard Shift, finished (in html here)

Pratchett fanfic. The guards chase a mysterious assassin across Ankh-Morpork while various intellectuals play chess with death. Note: nothing to do with chess :)

I love this one, it was my first humour piece, and I still enjoy looking at it, though there's a few bits I cringe at, and I'd prefer the scenes to be a bit less disjointed. Several people said it was "just like pratchett" at which point I died; I think that's the highest praise of any sort I've ever received.
