Yes, it’s a Valentine’s-Day adjacent FAF, which means . . . smoochies!
But not to worry, smooch-o-phobes, there weren’t that many of them sent in this year.
In fact, let us start with a kiss-free Bovril Valentine card, from @cherryteapots:
This reminds me of my motto when writing the series: Bovril makes everything better.
I found this on Twitter, and forgot to remember who it’s by, but it’s clearly pre- or post-smooch:
But enough of this pussy-footing around! Melissa gives us for realz mid-smooch:
She explains:
Alek knew that he needed to give Deryn SOMETHING for Valentine’s Day, and, broke as he is, all he could muster was a homemade card that looks like it was made by a five year old (It can be seen flying through the air as Alek lets go of it when he gets smooched). He was afraid that Deryn would scoff at it because she could do so much better, but she loves it and surprises him with a kiss in return. Poor Bovril is hiding near the chair and covering it’s eyes because of what it is seeing.
Indeed.
Next, we have Tobulshi, with an amusing cartoon of thwarted smooching:
Here’s another funny one by Tobuishi.
And for our last entry in the smooching sweepstakes, Uglies-style, here’s a lovely Valentine featuring David and Tally:
Hope you had a good V-Day, and told all the ones you loved that you loved them!
And now back to regular FAF. I also saw this on Twitter, and I don’t remember who did it. So who did it? As you can see, it’s Gundam/Leviathan crossover!
UPDATE: It’s from ComickerGirl at DeviantArt. We’ve seen her work here before, I’m sure.
All characters from walking machine universes should meet at some point and compare notes, I think.
From Jonathan, here’s Count Volger’s special walking machine. (No doubt with a special motion-control system to reduce illness and grumpiness.)
And finally, in honor of the Dr. Cable reveal, here’s Serena Marie with some Uglies cosplay:
It’s fairly canonical, now that we know Dr. C wears a white coat.
Okay, that’s it.
Next Monday, I’ll be revealing the Rusty Ruins from Uglies: Shay’s Story, which comes out in only about 17 days. (Or 18, depending on your hemisphere.) ALSO, very soon we will see the Shay’s Story book trailer!
You can pre-order Shay’s Story at Indie Bound, BarnesandNoble.com, or Amazon. Or buy it on March 6 at a proper bookstore.









Pestering works at times!!! π
AWESOME JOB GUYS!!!!!!!! π
Haha I like Melissa’s (AKA Middy Miles/MM) the best! Lol π
Darn am I too early for this posting?
-_-”
I’ve waited ALL day long and even pestered Mr. Westerfeld a bit on Twitter…
NOW GET ON MY FELLOW WESTER-OBSESSORS!
AWESOME! hey btw the Gundam/Leviathan crossover is by ComickerGirl on DeviantART
Oh my wow Scott-la, thank you so much for putting my cosplay up! π
Totally happy-making! <33
EEEP I’M ON FAF!!! Strange, though, how I was the only one that made them ACTUALLY SMOOCHING…
I think he got the idea of saying “smooch” from me π Because that’s my drawing of them mid-smooch and in my description I used the word smooch π
π
Hiiiiii MM!
Uglies fanart! and cosplay! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of Uglies art, why doesn’t someone draw a picture of the scene by the fire? I would, but I can really only draw people from the front, and they’d probably be facing each other for that conversation, so… yeah.
Hi Zaliz-la! Or isn’t you’re crossdresser name Derek?
I think I already saw the Rusty Ruins on the Uglies Manga artist’s deviantart.
Oh well…
I love the Bovril Valentines Day card!
@11. And the Dalek smoochy scene! :b
Although, the mustache picture is actually of Dr. Barlow’s loris. I realized that a while ago.
I love the Varlow one! Since Dr. Barlow had a husband I’ve never liked that pairing but that cartoon was HILARIOUS.
And the Bovril one was fabulous, of course. great fan-art, everyone!
Dallas isn’t it?
but Derek works just as well.
on second though I like Derek better (:
*grumbles* Gee, thanks for the general, “Great art, everyone.” *sigh* just kidding… mostly. Thanks!
@16. I was just guessing, but if you like Derek better, then cool beans!
@17
DID YOU LOOK AT COMMENT TWO????
@18
yes! lol and Beans?
@19. Yes, I did, and it made me really happy. I was smiling ear to ear when I saw that it got posted, and when I read your comment, my excessive smiling just got painful.
And “cool beans” is an Iowan thing. Well, at least where I am in Iowa.
haha awesome! I’m glad i made you happy lol
weird Iowens lol
Ehem. Iowans. No “e”s involved.
Oopsies lol
*serious face* This is not a laughing matter, Derek. Quite the contrary, actually. There could be spies in the British air service, and we need to stop them at all costs.
Wait.. what?
Aye, captin. I’ll make sure to keep me mouth shut tighter than a safe.
Don’t ye be makin’ fun of me accent, ya knuckle dragger!
xD
I coulden’t help myself!
Mmhmm. I’ll bet not. I have to go, Derek. ‘Night!
GO TEAM IOWA!
Night! Dream of beasties!!! (:
I saw the Varlow comic on DeviantArt a while ago.
SEMI-CAKE *fangirling*
@26: It’s not National Talk Like A Pirate Day until September 18th. But whatever… this can be a practice run.
Hey guys sorry I haven’t been on! I have been at a party all night….
I loved the uglies fan fic, Whom somebody posted on last FAF!! Loved it!!! So..love the art. Heyyyyyy
Hey Middy Miles. CONGRATS!! π
@5-WE GOTTA UGLIES FAN IN DA HOUSE!! Happy-making!!
@9-which one? There are so many fire scenes….
@36, I’m thinking the one where she burns the locket.
@37-that’s what I was thinking….or maybe in SPECIALS….
I keep thinking of Zane-la’s golden eyes <3
Aaaahhhhh his eyes…ooo and his hair.
Oh, come on! There was only one actual smooch.
@ Sophie-la aka Sorely, me too! There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t, but I really hope that in the movies they don’t have Taylor Laughtner as him… Also, don’t forget his alarmingly sharp features (especially his cheekbones).
I nearly die every time I read SPECIALS, the whle book is so sad for me, but it does have my favorite line of the whole series…
*whole, the whole book is so sad… how did I forget the o?
@42-I know,I know,it’s okay. I cried the first time. Specials has some of my fav quotes! Oh yes How cuod I forget the cheekbones!!?! Taylor would be good in a way but bad in another!
@42- Emily Browning=BEST TALLY-WA BESIDES ME
44: could*
@45
Her lips are too big.!
@41. I was quite surprised and disappointed by that, also. Mine was the smooch one, though! Yay me! But really, I would think he would have been swarmed by smooch art.
Yay, AWSOME ART!!!! I have been at Drake University all day for a scholastic bowl competition. IT WAS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I missed the art until now. π
My team is getting a reputation as “The Banana Team”. Why, you ask? Because everytime the A team (which I’m on) doesn’t have any clue for an answer on bonuses we say; a) If it’s a name, Smith; b) If it is anything else, BANANA!!!!!!!!! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) π π π 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Dang it, not all my smiley faces worked!
One sad thing about the day, I once again failed in my attempts to get my muleesque friends to read LBG. π π π π π π π π π
I feel like I should mention that Tobulshi’s first comic is a spin-off (maybe rip-off?) of Kate Beaton’s web comic, Hark! A Vagrant. Here is the link to Ms. Beaton’s original version, featuring Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy: http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=176
@47-ok you got me there…they can edit tht until PRETTIES right?!?!
@54
No. Find someone else.
@50
Lol! That’s funny(:
Oh, M@X. You’re silly. In mathcounts in middle school my team was rather horrible, so whenever we didn’t know an answer we wrote down 37.5 . Unfortunately, that seemed to happen a lot more that I care to admit…
@53. Hey, some of those comics are pretty funny! I followed the link and then just started reading random ones… heehee.
@ 20- I thought it was one of those Star Trek things?
HAPPY NATIONAL PANCAKE WEEK EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@59-hahaha really?
@55-I think Emily is perfect!!! Her attitude and everything!! Her lips are TOO big- ugly?
Anybody there??? Plz?
@57 A whole bunch of kids at my school do mathcounts. I am rather more of a dyslexic Science Olympiad one, thouh
*though.
@62: I suppose not. I am ALWAYS too EARLY or LATE. *grumpy face*
@48
Exactly! Get on the smooch-art, people!
Sigh. Fanfiction.net is a wonderful yet terrible place. Guiltily so, on some occasions, I might add. *looks away* I really shouldn’t have read that…
Hello!Β‘
Hello. I’m bored. How about you?
@sophie-la and trueugly: Yes, the one where she burns the locket.
@61
No Sophie just no.
@66 I am guilty of that as well…
@68 I am terribly so.
I drew the second one! It’s based off a fan-fic about real men holdin hands. XD
PS Scott!!! Art-Bandgeek…yet again! XD
PPS Scottmeister! Would you come to mine and Piper’s wedding? It’s kinda your fault we’re together…XD
@44 how would he be good? No offense, but he can show just about as much emotion in his face as through his stomach. And which quote is your fav.?
@57 My dad was gonna make me do math counts, but whenever I get a thing wrong on my homework, its because of a mistake in the addition! Therefore, I cannot add
Something really funny happened a couple nights ago… I was trying to sleep at like midnight, but I couldn’t so I turned on my radio and start listening. Suddenly, in the middle of a song, the radio starts beeping. Now I’m always ready for this, I have a plan and everything, but it’s much harder to follow your intensions when you’re scared, so I jump up, yell: THE OIL BUG IS UPON US!” and I run, grab my cat, and sleep in my walk-in closet (as if that would have helped) with my angy cat, so now I have a cut through my eyebrow. (like Davids) and no one else woke up…
Where is everybody?!?!?
@75-right here
la la la la la la la la la la le la la la la la la la la
notice I put a “le” in all the “la'”?
Haha… You didn’t answer my question?
@79-he….IDK!
@74. Awesome story, trueUgly. Although, “The oil bug is upon us!”? What’s THAT up with?
@73. Awww. That’s just sweet. Would you care to elaborate on that story, though?
I just wrote a ficlet where Alek kind-of-sort-of-halfway proposes to Deryn. It’s so sugary sweet I think I gave myself a cavity… although, it seems that I am facing writer’s block on the Orion front. Sorry, all, but it could be a while before the next legitimate chapter gets posted. π
@81-you have read UPSE right?
BANANA!!!!!!!!!!
@ 74-HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats a funny story.
Night! GO TEAM IOWA!!!!!!!!!
@81-oil bug= the oil bug is what basically ended the rusty era.This oil bug would explode on contact with oxygen. Makng every car a bomb, every plantaion a firestorm. Since the rusties were dependent on oil for everything, their world came crashing down.
274-ah Scott-la never did tell us the story of how he got that scar. BUT DAVID PROMISED TALLY-WA HE WOULD TEL HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe we shall finds out in Shay’s story….
84:actually kinda icy if you think about it…
hummmmm I am all alone again….as I usually am considering people are hardly on anymore…
this is happy-making
to me math is mind-shattering….
hey Zaliz-la you there? I talk..bubblehead style!

Ehh..well no one has school tomorow so I’ll get on earlie (:
@103. Is it, like, a national teacher development day or something? I don’t have school today, either, and you implied that no one does.
… Happy Monday! π
I deleted the app text free of my iTouch because it wasn’t quite working…
Sigh. I haven’t got a hundred # in a long time… poor li’l ol’ me. π
@81: Uglies is set in a future where the rusties (us) were destroyed by an “oil bug” That cuase oil to, basicly, explode. And since pretty much everything we have is made of oil…
*That CAUSES oil to basicaly explode
heyyyyyy happy presidents day! Text me? Cell phone? Kik? Instagram?? Instagram reminds me of the feeds in EXTRAS…then kik reminds me of pings
I am laying on my bed in my dark room,with my phone laying on my pillow! Ah the things I do for y’all.. Considering I share a room with my sister and she is SNORING but I am so tired…and lazy…to move π
*goes and makes waffles cause she can’t stand the snoring*
Let’s go eat grandma.
Let’s go eat, grandma.
Commas they save lifes
Hey……….I presume nobody is here?
Let’s play a game!!!! What do you guys think I look like???(you can say the age you think I am..but I won’t tell you my age for safety reasons)
This should be fun π
OH! I remember the Oil Bug now; I just didn’t remember what it was called.
Well, Sophie. Was it once mentioned that you were Hispanic? I think that you wear crazy shoes that Levi wears socks with, skinny jeans, and…er…glasses. IDK. You have dark hair and eyes. And are short.
So, how far off was I?
@110. I love that joke! Except when I tell it it involves Grandpa…
@ 73- Is Piper a book character that Scott wrote?
@ 84- Umm, that is the STUPIDEST WEAPON I HAVE EVER HEARD! You know, since the AIR IS MADE OF OXYGEN!
@ 109- PANCAKES! IT’S NATIONAL PANCAKE WEEK!
I can imagine Newkirk never remember the day or the time, but when National Pancake Week comes around, he never forgets!
@ 116- No, STUPID is a mean word. UNLOGICULOUS is better. Yes, because anything that is logical but so logical it’s rediculous, it is LOGICULOUS. So that weapon is UNLOGICULOUS. Because Goliath is better.
It’s kind of sad that the Toblushi comic a panel-for-panel ripoff of one of Kate Beaton’s Hark A Vagrant strips: http://beatonna.livejournal.com/94320.html
@104
Presidants day!(:
@112
I’m guessing like every other Mexican I’ve seen in my life.
@117. True dat, Ronnie. True dat.
@118. Oh, Lukas, that has already been established.
@119. You spelled President’s wrong, there Derek.
@ 118- Oh my word I just realized your name has a K in it! That is pretty fancy.
Hello people.
Hello, M@X and simplyRonnie! How are you? Please don’t be gone…
I’m still here.
Ello
What is the square root of 6872094782034750267246502783427307429?
Banana!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, that was stupid.
Um… I don’t even know how to say that number, M@X, let alone find the square root. It’s too big to plug into my calculator, so I’m just going to have to go with 37.5 on this one.
That is…incorrect. The answer was BANANA.
NO! The answer is actually 2621468058557027300 according to Math.com.
@114-HOLY CRAP YOU GOT IT ALL RIGHT!!!!!
Well I used to have glasses but I still kinda need them so……HOLY CRAP YOU GOT IT ALL RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@116-nobody knows how the oil bug was created! Maybe it was some nerds in a lab. Maybe it was a group of people who wanted to end the world. Anyway people assume it was not intended to be a weapon. So there you have it. The oil bug.
@132. Well, *flips hair and adjusts fedora* I’m just that good, I guess. <– Speaking of guesses, that's all it was, really, and inferences.
@120
Hey! I was in a rush…
@115-I don’t think so…
Piper=Rick Riordan, Heros of Olympus
@135-your good π
@137. You know, I actually thought that, gee, I don’t know, this Piper was a real person and they met at a convention or book signing or something. But that’s just me.
Can you guess me?
@sophie-la aka sorely, If you want I’ll change my name on facebook then you can message me and we can trade numbers for texting. (the name will be TrueUgly)
@140-sadly I don’t have a Facebook π
@139-tall,brown hair..medium length?? Skinny,no glasses,runner?
No Facebook? Poor girl. It’s pleasantly corrupting.
oh, thats too bad… I could use a new texting buddy… is there any other way we could contact eachother to exchange numbers?
@133
Ha! I have glasses as well! (:
@145 I have glasses, but wear contacts… anyone wanna guess me?
@144-how bout this I will give you one of my numbers you text me,saying who it is..
@143-yup no Facebook…but I have instagram!!
Hmm…I’m curious if this works…
Someone click thy name in this box lol(:
@144-I will give it to you right here right now?
@149-Facebook π
@Zaliz-la-you have an iTouch right??
@150 Really? Ok! Yay! Bring it!
Hello? Anyone there?
OMG! Where did everyone go?
@149. Facebook popped up! And there’s UGLIES manga on it!
@146. You are trulyUgly. How am I supposed to know? You don’t get on enough for my spidey powers to have picked up on you.
@152
Yes
@146
There’s also LBG on it. Look around.
@156 My friends haven’t told me that I’m truely ugly… yet… lol just take a guess!
One of my texting numbers:(973) 878-9389

@Zaliz-la I accidently sent you a friend request when I clicked on your name… sorry
159:TEXT ME I WILL BE WAITING PEOPLE!!

@163-haha
@158. Okay. I’m gonna go generic on this one; Naturally brownish hair, green eyes and of average height. You like to wear tshirts a lot. IDK.
Mkay heres how this is going to happen:

Looks like:
Blone hair and blue eyes
Your computer just died? Then how are you on here? Oh, yeah. Snazzy cell phone, right?
@161

Morning sunshine π
Hey! That’s what I say! (Not: it was ineffective to capitalize the “i” for emphasis…)
Or not…
@192-oh hai didn’t see you there!
Hullo everyone that seems to be on, which is probably no one .-.
Heyyyyyy

I think we’ve lost her……. π
hello people
@20
I say ‘cool beans,’ and I’m from BC, Canada π
Any one else on? I had something important to say, but I forgot…
We just keep missing each other.
Hey!!!!!!!!:D
everyone who like Percy Jackson and LBG go to this site.
http://stkidd.deviantart.com/gallery/28793849#/d3c6pav
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And this.
http://stkidd.deviantart.com/gallery/28793849#/d3a3na8
@204-love it
@205-haha even better!
Hello!!!
WHY is a messanger lizard talking about UGLIES?
Fine, just disappear. Barking spider lasses all have their attics a bit scrambled. (that is TRUE LBG awsomeness, three Deryn references in the same sentences!!)
AWW, I should have said, “… a wee bit scrambled!!!” then it would have been four.
Barking spiders this computer is a ninny, I am not comment to fast you bum-rag covered in clart. (that is pure, dead brilliant Deryn referencing)
Hey, if I think I might be able to get a friend of mine to read LBG if I get other peoples opinions, so if all of you could write your favorite things about the book over the next 24 hours I can show him/her it and convince her to read it.
*him/her
Hey, MM, WHY ON EARTH DID YOU NOT POST THAT ART ON YOUR BLOG!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! BTW, sorry I haven’t been on here sooner. I kind of took a while to realize that the reason no one was commenting on the LAST FAF was because there is a new one. I am such a dummkopf. ALSO, I will be sending in some fan art some time soon. My friend gave me drawings of Barlow, Deryn, Alek and Lilit that I will be submitting on her behalf. ALSO, I just finished my Bovirl bust. Funny story. So this kid in my class is named Angus and he’s a stocky kid, I mean, he’s not fat, but he’s not one of those shrimpy kids. Anyhoo, so he asks me what I’m making and I say,
“Bovirl”
He looks at me funny and goes “What’s that.”
I tell him “It’s a character from a book. Or beef stock.”
“Oh, don’t you make that joke!”
“What? I’m serious.”
“Don’t make that joke! Do not!!!”
And I have NO idea what he’s talking about. I get Angus;beef but I didn’t get the stock thing. So I keep repeating “Beef stock, beef stock” Then it hits me. “Beef stock!” I started laughing like a MANIAC!!!! He glares at me. Then, as I was leaving I go,
“See ya later, Bovirl.” He glares daggers at me.
The laughing thing reminded me, today I was playing war with my Grandma, boring day….. π
@204 and 206- That is SO funny. I love the “Percy-WTF?” And Alek is all like “I am so cool I am a prince and I rule the world.” And Percy’s all like ” This dude thinks he’s SO much! I have saved the freaking WORLD! Hah.”
Thanks so much for the feature! π It’s always super exciting to see my work in a FAF. Very pleased that you liked the hat picture, especially. My compliments to the artist for creating such a fine chapeau. ?
Just one thing – the Varlow picture is a tribute to/snowclone of an original comic by Kate Beaton, of Hark! A Vagrant, and although I credited her in the artist’s notes on dA, a lot of people don’t seem to have clicked through to that. Would it be possible for you to add a note to that effect? I hate to come off as a plagarist. :I
@209-Muahaha!!
@215-HI LEVI π
@219- Hey Sophie.
π
@213- Okay. As you have said “him/her” I am unsure how to have “Audience Awareness” which is something at which I excel. So, don’t expect this to be life changing but here ya go:
Deryn is BA. She is not afraid to do what she has to to get what she wants. She is relate-able to teenage girls but also a role model of sorts.
Alek is sweet. He is tremendously naive and (sorry!) stupid which just makes him all the more lovable. He doesn’t know how to conduct him self in the world which makes him the perfect match for Deryn.
Volger is a “crusty old count” (Goliath). His sole purpose is to keep Alek safe which often leads to hilarious shenanigans and a good deal of black-mailing.
Dr. Barlow is a “sticky-beak” (Behemoth). She is the grand-daughter of Charles Darwin and has fabricated a number of beasties, the cutest being Bovirl.
Bovirl is…… Bovirl.
@222- I apologize. Those first two were directed at girls. I suppose I need a specification or I jump into my practice person. My mom.
Phft. “Storm Chasers” is hard.
That Dr. Cable looks a bit like my 4th grade friend Alyssa ‘cept Alyssa is unnaturally skinny.
I. M. S-O. B-O-R-E-D.
Hullo ^-^
Darn no one is on -_-
I’m on, but I bet that you aren’t now…
I’ve only been on at the same time as someone else once, wich is really odd considering that we all miss eachother by just a few minutes…
Does anyone else speak fluently in languages they are unfamiliar with, just to screw with themselves?
24 hour banking? I don’t have enough time!
Someone broke into my house, stole all the furniture and replaced it with EXACT replicas. People ask me how I know, well because it looks just like all the old furniture,duh!
@230- Okay….?
@ 230-Du bist veruckt.
*verruckt
Hey just got home from softball π
hello
Wassup?????
Guten Tag/aben/nach
Moin,moin
servus
I am watching Bing Bang Theory
Sounds… Interesting.
@237- “Goooood-a *singing* NIGHT a-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
‘What are you doing! What is your problem! You know what? I am sick of you!’
*3 people jump out from counter holding signs that say 10*
‘Very good.’
‘So I got the job?’
‘Oh *consored* no! That job was filled weeks ago!’
‘WHAT!!! I AM SICK OF YOU!!!!’ *storms out*
*previously mentioned three people hold up 10 signs and nod approvingly*”
Ha! Nah guys!
Piper is a character in the PJ series, but that’s just a nickname for mine. XD He’s BagpipeHeadache on the forums…and it’s Scotts fault cause that’s where we met. Started out as innocent email-text buddies and evolved. XD
@243. Ah. It’s so sweet when that sort of thing happens. Especially when the person you meet on the internet is actually who they say they are, not a creeper. Sorry, did I just ruin the moment?
@M@X. Those comics you linked to are barking hilarious! I like the second one best… And your excessive referencing, though amusing, was unimpressive. You can’t make it sound forced, man! Also, were you there when the ambassador dude came and visited Iowa? I wasn’t, but it was near you, I think…
Okay, everyone. I was re-re-reading Goliath yesterday and I found something very entirely hilarious. Turn to page 111 and go about halfway down, and you will see Volger saying, “You are the air to the Austrian throne, not some zookeeper…”
I couldn’t stop laughing! BECAUSE HE IS A ZOOKEEPER BY THE END!!! *wipes tear from eye* [probably unintentional] foreshadowing and perfect irony! *proceeds to roll on the floor laughing*
@243. Oh, and I forgot to say; my best wishes to you. I hope your marriage is long and prosperous, and you love each other always. I shall now say an inspiring quote about love (or two, because there are just so darn many!) “When you love someone, you don’t have a choice. Love takes your choices away.”, “There is no pretending,’ Jace said, with absolute clarity, ‘I love you. I will love you until the day I day, and if there is a life after that, I will love you then,'”-The Mortal Instruments. And here’s another one that isn’t necessarily about love, but would seem to apply to the situation, “Just because it wasn’t what you were expecting doesn’t mean it wasn’t everything you were hoping for.”
Have a wonderful life, Clankinist!
*until the day I die
RONNIE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. What color is your hair? Ronnie/Rachel will be making an appearance in one of the upcoming chapters, and I want to get it my facts straight before that happens.
Hello good chaps
Aw Middy, it wont be for a while yet, but thanks! I sincerely hope it works out! π
Scott-la emailed me again!!!!!! π 10th time!
@250- No fair!!! I need to wait till Friday before I can submit my friends fan-art. I need to ask if I can use her name and she *gasps* doesn’t have a phone. Her family is REALLY old-fashioned.
Get up, get up, get ready to shout, it’s a brand new day! (sung out of tune and way too chippery for it to be this early in the morning.) This musical interlude has been brought to you by my mother’s ingeniousness of coming up with the song when she was growing up, and me singing it too you right now. You’re welcome.
Morning!Β‘
Afternoon!Β‘
Nope. It’s still morning. (It really isn’t, of course, but I always say that; especially when someone’s in a bad mood. It tends to catch them off guard. π )
Geez guys, is that the most interesting thing you can think of?
@256-heheh no
@256. Heheh yes. Apparently. Wait, Levi, I thought you were giving up the Westerblog for lent? Didn’t that start on Wednesday?
Yay! I’m so happy, guys. My school has a two hour delay today, and there’s snow on the ground! How about you?
@258-What?! Lemme check.
Darn, your right. See ya’ll in about a month!
Er, just a head’s-up: TobuIshi’s art is plagiarized from Hark, a Vagrant, as seen here: http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=176
@ 251- So? Not everyone has a cell phone.
@ 247- YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My hair is blonde! Not bleach blonde, like Deryn’s is, but not reddish-blonde either. Like in the middle of a darker blonde, but not too dark.
@ 245- He he he! REFERENCE!
@264-muahaha I have a lot in common with Tally-wa! Hope-la would know I tell her everything…lemme tell her to get on..
Ooo Zaliz-la knows part of it…
Hope-la will be here in a minute…
Hey y’all!
Ah us southern girls and how we talk! “y’all”
So what we talkin bout?
Read comment 266
Reading*
Oh ya!! Sophie-la has a TON in common with Tally-wa!! Omg I would tell y’all but it’s kinda personal…
Heh heh yea…
I do have a lot in common…
Only 3 peoplez who comment know…
Ugh sorry I have to go!! Bye y’all!!
Bye hopeeeeeeee!
I know! Sorry, I’ve been really busy…
And then there was one..
Hey
Yay! I’m not alone!
@278-haha yup!! ONE of the many ways
Where is everybody?
@283. Oh, did I not tell you, Sophie? I built a machine that can travel both through time and the multiverse so that us LBG fans could be part of the books. Sorry, but I didn’t think you’d enjoy yourself. Oh, well. You missed out, let me tell you. Whew! If only I’d thought to bring something to document it with! Wasn’t it great, Ronnie?
@Ronnie. Would you like a teaser drabble of some Newkirk-Ronnie interaction? Of course you would. *smiles sinisterly* I shall post some to my blog immediately. Muahahaha!
@262. We’ve been over this. Several times.
hullo!!!(:
darn -_-
Hey y’all!! I am ssssssooooo bored!! Just got back from Softball!
Look at this 10 year old dance! Her name: Autumn Miller she is amazing I have a fan account for her on instagram!! She is so cute!! Remember the name: Autumn Miller
She will be famous one day. She was recently on the Disney show, Shake it up. Click it and enjoy!

Oh, Sophie. Youtube is a forbidden thing in my house. I think we’ve talked about this before. It uses too much internet, and we have a limited amount. Like with text messaging, as a different example.
Oh… should I? There are only 7 more comments until the coveted double-ohed number…
I believe I shall. Just for funsies. (Scrubs reference, anyone?)
Ummm. Mr. Westerfeld? I think you’re forgetting something. It’s Saturday, you see, and we still haven’t had FAF this week. Does anyone else see the problem here, or am I the only one?
Only 5 more! Just enough time for me to contemplate the ramifications of my decision to steal the number. Or to practice my accent. *from now on will speak in a How-to-Train-Your-Dragon-viking accent because she can never quite get Scottish right*
I really can be a dab hand at accents, you know. I’ve got Doug from Up and Gru from Despicable me down pretty well, at least for certain phrases.
For instance; Ahem, “I was hiding under your porch…” *trails off because she realizes you can’t hear her. Sadface*
That didn’t seem to work as well as I’d hoped. Sigh. <–That was not meant to be in asterisks (**), actually. I say "sigh" instead of really sighing in my everyday life. Strange, I know, but me.
But then again, if I didn’t have a few defining things about myself I wouldn’t be individual. In the words of John Mason, “You were born an original; don’t die a copy.”
300! *begins to wave computer in the air like a flag in celebration, but then puts the computer down after realizing that she does not, in fact, own the laptop; her school does.* Eh, heh. Yay? *looks away*
@294-no I see it too π
Remember when we used to get to like 2000 comments?
What happened to us?
I don’t know, Sophie. Time just… got to us. With each passing moment we grow farther apart, our close-knit group slowly unraveling into a multitude of loose strings…
Hows that for sappy?
Chapter 20=posted!
is anyone on?
damn it!! -____-“
@MM: Jist read ch. 20, awsome!!!! I was in it again, YES!
I would name my turtle Zeus, because he’d be king of the skys!!!
hola M@X! [:
-hope im not late-
im officially going to sulk, and play video games…
HAPPY YESTERDAY WAS GEORGE HARRISON’S BIRTHDAY DAY!!!
That was pointless. Wow, Ruth, wow.
@312: It was Sean Astin’s too.
@308 and 309. Hmm… Interesting. Yes, you were in it again. *bows* Don’t ask why I just bowed.
Just as a heads up everyone, I’ll be making changes to chapters 17 and 20 here real soon so they fit in better with something that comes up later. Feel free to reread them when that happens, but also feel free to completely ignore this. It’s your choice. π
@314. I have no idea who George Harrison and Sean Astin are. The names are familiar but…
@316: Hard-shelled bug and a magic ring, respectively.
Apparently it’s already Monday in Australia and still no FAF! Or FASa or FASu or FAM!!!!
If that made any sense.
And THAT’S NOT BOVRIL!!! That’s Dr. Barlow’s loris wearing Eddie Malone’s fake moustache in California!!!
π
Kind of late, yes.
Mustache, sorry.
@317. I’m still drawing a blank here.
@318. Yeah, pretty soon it will have to be FAT. But that just sounds offensive…
@320. *facepalm* That’s already been pointed out by yours truly. Oh, well. I’m glad someone else caught it. π
Ch. 21! Zeus! Zipper! Miles! Rokirk! Varlow! And of course DALEK!!!!!
@323. Chapter 21 is not even started yet. I can tell you, though, that not all of those characters make an appearance. I won’t tell you which, of course. That would be teasing. Oh! Have you read the Rokirk thing I posted?
Yes i did. As long as you are reworking 20 and 17, can you put in I named the RABT Zeus?
Actually, I can tell you that that comes up in 21. π
What!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!????!??!??!??!???!!!??!???!?
The edits I did are just very small parts that lay down track for… well, I shan’t tell you. That would ruin it.
@327. The part about the turtle being named Zeus, that is. If I confused you.
Sorry, i misread. I thought you said you could tell me whats going to happen.
Hey, i just realized that zeus also makes sense because he drops bombs like zeus throws lightning and the explosion is like thunder!Β‘!Β‘!Β‘!
Aye, that sounds about right. I COULD tell you what happens, of course, if I wanted to. And I kind of do, but… nah. I like you squirming better.
I’ll just work on my book.
I’m back… there’s 6 inches of snow here, and there’s still gonna be school tomarrow… Michigan is the worst… no, wait, Michigan State is the worst, the literally, like shaped like a mitten, Michigan is the ONLY state like this…
@334. Um… Trust me, I know how you feel sometimes. We’ve had lots of snow on the ground and still school sometimes, and we’re shaped like the profile of a person with a large nose. π
Well I wouldn’t be very mad if the six inches wasn’t all we got this year… normally we have like two feet… Middy Miles, are you aware that we are arguing on facebook?
@322: I meant The first was with The Beatles and the second played a part in The Lord of The Rings movies. I did see your comment on it not being Bovril, I was just clarifying for Scott. (If he reads these things.)
Come on, FAT!!!
@322: If you’re still not sure who they are and really care look it up.
@334: Not one squick of snow here. π
@337: Clarifying with ALL CAPS!!!
Hey sorry I was really busy yesterday….BUT I’M HERE NOW!
@304-hum….lets change that? π
Y’all are lucky you even GOT snow!
@336. Facebook? When did Facebook come into this? I’m pretty sure we’re on the Westerblog…
@336. And, yeah. It’s ridiculous how little snow we’ve had this year. It just makes me so mad. Winter just isn’t right without snow.
@345-INSTSAGRAM
@346-I haven’t even gotten one little flake. not one! ah Texas
Just got out of school π π
@348. Yeah, but you’re in Texas. That’s not unusual. For me here in Iowa, we didn’t get any snow until after the first of the year, and even then only little bits here and there, and that’s just barking strange. Heck, it’s strange enough the world just may be ending… *chuckles at how she made fun of how “the world will end” in 2012*
As for the Academy Awards last night. Good for Hugo getting so many awards, but I think War Horse deserved a lot, too. And we shall not even SPEAK of “The Artist.” *spits*
It’s sad, the only time my cat will sit by me is if I have a glass of milk, or if she wants to bite me… I wonder which one it is this time…
Do you have a glass of milk?
No… Wow why didn’t I think of that? Thankyou, I am now entering ninja mode so I will use my super-cat like reflexes if she attacks…
Well, 8 more days (7 in some places) until Uglies Shay’s Story comes out… at least 6 days after that until I get my copy…
Walk away very slooooowly… hide all bite-able body parts, and for Bovril’s sake, don’t LET THE CAT KNOW YOUR ONTO HER!!! I once met a cat that was a Deceptacon…
She’s just sitting there, starring with those big orange eyes… I’d be taken aback by her beauty if I weren’t on the verge of wetting myself…
I was struck with brilliance… But it gave me a concussion and I can’t remember a thing…
Hee hee. At both of them. Your cat has orange eyes? Hm..
I just got awsome mail!!! One is an invitation to the international high school engineering and technology confrance and the other is an invitation to be part of Stanford’s high school program part/full time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a feeling they’re expensive though, and then I can’t participate. Why is the cool stuff always uberexpensive?!?!?!?!?!?!?
@357: Weird, all my cars have always been ubernice.
* cats
@358: One of my cats has blue fur.
His name is blue-blue.
hullo whom ever is on (:
i suspect everyone is asleep
That’s great, M@X! Even if you can’t go, it’s the fact that you qualified that counts. Good for you! Great job! You are a credit to the Wester-Obsessor name! *applauds–or, would applaud, if she weren’t in school*
hello guys I haven’t been on that much….
@354-I am geting it the day it comes out!!
I just posted chapter 21! Go read it… please?
Oh, and M@X, I’m sorry, but Zeus as a name doesn’t come up in this chapter. Next one, I promise!
I have NO idea who I am anymore!
All… Alone… Again… *sobs softly*
Ok, enough with this sadness! In UPSE, David or Zane? I’m talking personality-wise, not who-should’ve-ended-up-with-who-wise (although, I think Shay and Zane would have been an ADORABLE couple, and that could’ve prevented some very sad things, *more sobs*)
@373-ya!! I always thought Sane-la would have been perfect…
TOMORROW IS JUSTIN DREW BIEBER’S 18th BIRTHDAY!!!! 12:56 am to be exact π my Justin is growing up
Like, Justin Drew Beiber as in the teenage pop idol who evokes a strong emotion just from the mention of his name one way or the other? Strange…
On, LBG fans, where for art thou LBG fans? Why are you not here to read chapter 21?????
Awsome ch. MM!!!!!!!!! Night everyone! GO TEAM IOWA!!!
@376-how many Justin Drew Biebers do you know of π
@337: I just finished Romeo and Juliet in class today *blech* and I know “where for art thou” means “Why are you like yourself.” So you just asked why we are LBG fans.
@376: That strong emotion is- ARGGHHH!!!! I’M GONNA RIP HIS HEAD OFF!!!! HE’S SO ANNOYING!!!!!
Sorry, I just had to put that. (8
8)
That worked, anyway.
‘Night, school tomorrow.
I am indiferant about bieber.
Steampunkjedi, do you read my fanfic? If not, please sit tight while I give you this schpiel; Would you be interested in some fanfic? *waggles eyebrows and adjusts fedora like any good salesman* Because I know where you can find some. All you have to do is click on my name, and when the page loads go to the archive on the right side, click 2011–>December–>Leviathan fanfic chapter/part 1. You will not be disappointed… I hope. π
@380. We’re just about to start our R&J unit in school.
I don’t like being grounded :p
Makes me miss you all lol (:
I read R&J last year. HATED it!!!!
@386: I hope you have the Romeo and Juliet script with the sidenotes, because the language is indecipherable without them.
I will read your fanfic, don’t worry.
@385: I’m actually the same way, but the little seventh graders screaming about him is annoying.
My sister is a 7th grader. She hates Bieber.
@391-BIEBER IS AWESOME!!! Zaliz-la and me already had this talk. Ask her how much I lllllllooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeee him
@391: My sister is the same way, but most of the seventh graders at my school love him.
Let me rephrase 390: I think a lot of people are worked up for nothing. That’s my opinion.
5!
4!
3!
2.
Seriously, someone else have 400.
Just joking!!! π 8) π π
Sigh… there’s always a faulty smily. π
Nighty-night
KIDRAUHL FOREVER
@402: Feel free to think that way.
@390 Don’t stereotype us 7th graders, because I hate bieber…
so, I’ve noticed that, at the worst possible moments in my life, my tongue always slips, the good think is, I get by on comic relief… π
@404-…….sshhh…
I love bieber!
@404: Sorry, it is people (mostly girls) of all ages that like him. (Or don’t.)
I don’t particularly like him at all, but everyone has their own opinion.
This comment is WAY late, but wasn’t it Dr.Barlow’s lorus who sported the mustache? I may be mistaken, but that’s what I remember.
BUT I still agree with the fact that Bovril makes everything better. Never lose your epicness, Bovril! π
I personally Believe that posting, βFan Art Friday (V-Day edition)
? westerblogβ ended up being correctly written! Ican’t see eye to eye together with you even more! At last appears like Iidentified a website truly worth reading. Thank you, Shavonne
