deception_pass: (New Tristan Angst)


Today marks the one year anniversary of the launch Deception Pass! To celebrate, I threw a party and took far too many pictures.

(I'd really wanted to bring you a new episode today, but this will have to hold you over for a little while longer. I assure you it'll be well worth the wait.)

When I first started this last year, all I wanted to do was share a little piece of the world Sara and I first started building nearly seventeen sixteen or so years no it was seventeen years ago. We're absolutely thrilled that people care about this as much as we do and have chosen to travel with us on this journey. It's been an amazing experience and we hope to continue this for as long as we can get away with it.

Thank you all so much for reading....

If it weren't 3:30 in the morning I might be a bit more coherent. O_o

No, thank you for sharing this tale. If it weren't for you two and this wonderful story, my originality would have died and I'd be suck writing fanfiction (which isn't bad, but I wanted to do my own stuff).

*tosses confetti and joins in the partying* Here's to a Happy Birthday! Huzzah!

My typo is glaring at me. I meant, "stuck". But seriously, you two have inspired me to get off my ass and work on my old stuff.

And that first picture of Deanna was orgasmic.

Maybe it's 16... I think I first wrote about James in 1990.

We were twelve. I was, anyway.

Which clearly means it's only been... um... eleven years. Yeah.

hahahaha Remember how James lived in medieval times in a... cottage? hut? with dirt floors but a really nice mattress?

I don't know, my favorite might be the shortlived version with Native Americans and Brings-Down-The-Sun or whatever his name was.

And the version where Mary was named Dominique. lmao.

Hehe.

I still miss the 200 years. In my head, that was the Best. Story. Ever. So it's probably a good thing we lost it, as the real thing would probably crush my soul, or at least send me into some sort of abdominal seizure.

Ratt, Roger & his evil twin, Buckingham palace... and PERRY!

And then there was the one in which Mary was a soap opera actress, I don't know whatever happened to that one, either. If only I'd had something better than the Commodore 64 back then.

One of these days I'm going to write the story of the stories.

BWAHAHAHAHA Abdominal seizures... Was that the one with buying shampoo at Meijer? I still have what I refer to as 'The Sacred Disk' which says '200 Years' scrawled across it. I never could access the data on it.

Damn, I didn't even have a Commodore 64, I just had that 'Word Processor'.

The story of the stories indeed. *sigh*

The shampoo one was after the 200 years, with someone Bill S. Preston, Esquire. I think. Only not Bill. Or maybe I'm getting people mixed up... it was the 'in the end, I went for a walk' bit, and it was hypno-vamp at Meijer.

I doubt the disk is the original 200 years, unless you typed it all up which now that I'm thinking about it is actually possible. I remember I had it all on looseleaf, or in a notebook, along with my Gaelic notes from when I decided it would be Super!Cool if I learned how to speak Gaelic. (Incidentally, it actually served me well many years later in an Irish pub in Toronto, since the bathrooms were only labeled in Gaelic).

Um, anyway.

Oh man... I thought the 'in the end, I went for a walk' was in the stuff we still actually have. There's a section of 'Vampyre' missing, I know that much. We have Part 1, 3, and 4 of that.

I did type it up! I remember doing that, but I don't know where I would have done it. At school maybe?

I personally love the Soap Opera version of the stories, where everyone was everyone else's brother or sister and there was amnesia.

"You break my bass, I break your face."

WE MUST ACCESS THE DATA ON THAT DISK!!!

It may have been a Mac disk... :-O I think I may have been using Brian's old Mac laptop! But that would have meant I typed it up after 1996, and I could have sworn it was before that.

I think I typed it up in windings so no one would be able to read it.

Hahahah! Apparently the upside-down & backwards font was unavailable?

It was definitely pre-1996, because I lost the handwritten version in high school. Maybe it was a later version, or wait, I think we were trying to actually rewrite the same version at one point?

There was *definitely* some upside down & backwards stuff in the hand-written version though, as I very distinctly remember thighs being touched in various rooms of Buckingham Palace.

Oh man... I just realized this doesn't take place in England anymore.

Holy crap, yeah I think we were trying to rewrite that part!

And we still have the upside down and backwards stuff, but it didn't take place in various rooms of Buckingham Palace. Maybe we used that little trick more than once. All I know is that I had the hardest time trying to read it all these years later.

HAHAHA

That was awesome. For some reason, I seriously love pic # 94. It reminds me of South Park. O_o And is that a The Faint shirt I spot? That's awesome.
