I...am a ridiculous human being.
No, really. Utterly. Ridiculous. Now, to make this post, I must first confess several things:
a) I have a deep seated, highly repressed desire to write tons of fics with Mary Sues, and all kinds of self-insertion because I feel like that would be both absurd and funny as hell, and well. Because I just do. *hangs head* I know. I'm not proud.
b) When encouraged by more than one person in my ridiculousness, it tends to snowball WAY THE HELL OUT OF CONTROL.
c) I enjoyed writing what's coming next WAY TOO MUCH. I am shamed by how much fun I had.
Okay, that having been said.
tstar78 and I have this joke about how it would be hysterical if I was an intern on the floating JLA space station-thing. We would say again and again what a hilarious joke it would be for me and Batman to interact in any way because he'd want to just kill me so so so so dead because, well...if you can't tell from my LJ that I'm basically a combination of Rob Gordon from High Fidelity and Lucy Ricardo then, well, I've just told you.
Anyway. The joke is wacky hijinks would ensue. Tonight Caro and I were talking about it and I was like, "I'm way tempted to write some of this down, just for my own amusement," and she said, "DO IT!"
And then I told Lyra, and she said, "Well, you could, and then post it as a response to my icon request!" (A few posts back I solicited requests for ficlets based on my icons, and they're coming, guys, they're coming. I'm using them as a way to procrastinate.) Anyway, Lyra picked my CHEEKY icon, and so I thought, "Yeah, okay, that would be pretty cheeky."
And it just...well...snowballed. *facepalms*
So have the first few installments of what I've decided to call Nifra's Unapologetically Self-Indulgent and Utterly Ridiculous Mary Sue Series. (NUSIaURMSS for short.) There will, most likely, be more of this.
Like I said before, I'm not proud.
