[froodle]

It's World Goth Day, so how about some fanworks focusing on Eerie's only metalhead, Tod McNulty?

Fighting Game Controller for the PS3/4

Look at this joystick thing Mike got for the new Tekken game and tell me this won't turn my telly into an intergalactic portal/strand me in an old black and white horror movie while a clasic universal monster roams around my flat/send me to an alternate reality where my life is a (really boring) TV show/create a terrible Canadian spin off version of me.

Seriously though, if you don't hear from me for a few days, flip through the satellite channels and make sure I'm not there, okay?

Eerie, Indiana (NBC)
September 15th, 1991 – April 12th, 1992
I know I didn’t watch this when it was originally aired on NBC. I was too young. I probably watched repeats on either The Disney Channel or maybe on Fox Kids. I can only remember one episode. It was the series premiere and featured human-sized Tupperware containers. That sort of thing will stick with you. The entire series is available on DVD so perhaps one day I’ll get around to rewatching it.

Eerie, Indiana double drabble: Administrative

[froodle]

Fine white paper dust hung in the air and settled in sharp-edged drifts in the corners of the room. All four walls were lined with grey metal filing cabinets and they hummed and juddered against each other, the shuffle and thump of their shifting contents drowned out by loud computer-generated sobbing.

“Yep,” said Marshall, shutting the door behind him and muffling the noise. “That played out almost exactly the way I thought it would.”

“What are you going to tell your dad?” asked Simon.

“The truth,” said Marshall. “That Things Incorporated’s new all-encompassing office administration software developed sentience and a profound sense of existential despair over the number of people who don’t line the hole-punch holes up properly when doing their filing.”

“Will he believe that?”

Marshall laughed, sounding only a little bitter.

“No,” he said. “He’ll call it a short, which is what he always calls it when he inadvertently creates artificial intelligence without also giving it emotional resilience.”

Simon looked at the closed door, through which miserable mechanical howling could still be heard.

“What did it just say?” he asked.

Marshall listened for a moment.

“‘For Gods’ sake, who doesn’t understand alphabetical order, it’s not hard,’” he said.

Untitled Fic for World Goth Day

[deifire]

I'm not sure if this is just a ficlet or eventually going to wind up being part of something larger, but here's a little bit of Tod and Dash just in time for World Goth Day.

Rating: G (there's some implied swearing)

( Tod had probably never said more than eleven words total directly to Dash... )

PS: For some reason DW is giving me errors when I try to tag, so apologies for those not being here.

Philately trout!
