Happy anniversary to
Disneyland, which opened on this day in 1955. Perhaps one day, Kevin Thompson will score a winning goal in the Super Bowl, look into the camera, and declare his intention to go there. And on that day, Mr. DeMartino will lose whatever may remain of his sanity.
Jane, however, seems oddly content considering she's surrounded by woodland creatures that may well be about to strike. Hey, I'll bet there's a
Sick, Sad World episode for that. Any ideas for the SSW teaser?
Fanfic Update!
- Apathymorphs: The Invasion, by JoeMerl (part 9): "What was going to happen tonight? What was this Yeerk pool anyway, what were we going to find? Would we manage to destroy this thing? Would we manage to free Trent? Was Quinn right? Was I really going to have to—"
- College Bound (Iron Chef - Doug, Susan and Ramona), by JoeMerl (COMPLETE!): "She approached and put her binder down on the table next to him. 'Evan Landon?' 'Uh-huh.' 'I'm Ramona Johnson, your new Math tutor.' 'Uh-huh,' he said again, not looking up from his football."

Both Jeffy and Joey shuddered at the memories, all the bag carrying, the expensive gifts, being forced to wait in the car for hours on end, and all of it to get the favor of girls who didn’t give a crap about them at all. 'Well this was so much better,' Jamie replied with a big grin, 'She bought clothes for me.'"
- Eye on the Target (Iron Chef - Let's Play Sports), by ST91 (COMPLETE!): "Three shots, three centers. Daria smiled when she saw that, once again, her arrows had hit the target perfectly."
- Family Reunion, by januense (part 8): "'Well ...' replied Jane '... in fact, we've captured something...' she pointed her finger at her left shoulder, where the little fairy, bandaged almost like a little mummy... thanks to Jane's really poor medical skills ... was graciously sitting '... though not in the way it was supposed to be captured. I hope it's not a problem for you, auntie...' she expectantly asked."
- First Day of Summer, by cfardell_Brenorenz29 (part 2): "'Let’s see, fifteen stores, including twelve clothing stores,' Quinn said as she leafed through the application forms. 'One of them JJ Jeeters,' Sandi murmured. 'Sandi, remember what I said earlier,' Quinn said. 'Yeah, beggers cannot be choosers, but the clothes there are very garish,' Sandi said."

- The Great White Dope (IC: KKKevin), by Roentgen (COMPLETE!): "How much life had changed since Kevin Thompson got arrested for being caught in a KKK rally.

It was easy for the FBI guys to talk Kevin into saying something stupid."
- The Hearts Within, by neonhomer (part 7): "I went to take a bite of my pizza, when the phone rang. Quinn leapt up and answered it. 'Hello? Oh.... Hold on.' She brought the phone to me. 'It’s Tom.' I found myself flying out of the chair, grabbing the phone."
- Immortal Blood, by Shiva (part 6): "'I am proud of you Child,' Felix said softly while looking down into Skylar’s flashing blue eyes, 'You have taken your first steps into eternity.' Felix didn’t have to use his psychic power, nor the link between them to know that his Child’s mind was starting to fall back on what it knew.

- Insult Me!!! (Iron Chef: Opposites Attract), by Wassersauefer (COMPLETE!): "She only waited a few seconds, then her drive was there.

Like every morning."
- In the Woods (IC: Sleeping With Strangers (But Not Like That!)), by Shiva (COMPLETE!): "Graham felt freezing cold as he slowly sat up and felt a sudden stabbing pain move across his fabulous brain.

- The Journal of Steve Rowe (A genderswap never before done), by Shiva (COMPLETE!): "I'm writting in you because Mrs. Manson thinks it's good for me.

- The Kissing Book, by DeacBlue (part 5): "'Death cannot stop True Love. All it can do is delay it for a while.' Daria blushed. 'I will never doubt again.' Jane, in a near-whisper, said, 'There will never be a need.' And she then kissed Daria."

- Operation Glitterberries: Chapter 08, by BF110C4 (part 2): "Marianne was distracted from the conversation by a short, sharp, noise coming upstairs, followed by a much closer crash and crack that gave her a bad feeling. 'Just a second Helen, something wrong.' Without waiting from a response form her boss she rushed the stairs, and what she found horrified her."
- Save the Last Trance for Me, by jtranser (COMPLETE!): "Jane said: 'O.K., Daria, I'm seeing it and I bet you are too. But that's not a dream, but an hallucination, probably induced by contact with fish that fed on psychedelic algae blooms. That, or the Tikis are messing with us.'"

Upchuck... looked good?!"
- Sisters of Silence (Iron Chef: Opposites Attract), by Wassersauefer (COMPLETE!): "Tiffany sat on a bench, not moving for hours and staring straight ahead. Neither she nor her companion sad anything, just starring and sitting. It wasn't like there was anything to look at, just a building site without any movement, the workers long gone home. A tumbleweed blew past. Nothing happened."

- Unnamed story (IC: Sleeping With Strangers (But Not Like That!)), by BrownEyedBagel (COMPLETE!): "Jane stirred slightly as if she was getting over being shot.
