he was right about one thing: i'd look good in a beret.

So I got in late on this whole [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti bandwagon, because by the time I went to check it out, signups were over. I kind of like the idea of getting you guys to vote below, bid on what you want and if the story gets written, you're on your honor to donate to Doctors Without Borders/American Red Cross/Oxfam, or something. The higher the bid amount, the quicker it would theoretically get written.

Or I'm crazy.

Anyway, I've had some odd plot bunnies recently, so, go for those checkboxes and leave a comment with how much each prompt is worth to you. (So if you really want to see prompt #3, for example, you'll bid more for it.) Something like that. We'll see how it goes. I'll guarantee 1500 words for each story, at least, and your bid has to be at least $1. You can also vote without bidding, but I'll give preference to the prompts that are bid on.

* If you pick wild card, it must involve a show that I've already written for. Again, unless you want bizarre OOC crackfic.

NOTE: If for some reason you can't vote in the poll below, feel free to vote in the comments. (If you do vote, tell me if/how much you'll donate and if you pick wild card, you have to comment to tell me what you want!)


[Poll #1521918]


Have we talked about Archer, flist? Archer is like this bizarre animated spy cousin of Arrested Development (in that Jessica Walter, who played Lucille Bluth, and Judy Greer, who played Kitty Sanchez, are regular cast, and the guy voicing Archer makes him sound a bit like a more suave GOB). Is anyone else watching it? It's insanely funny and crazy and not at ALL politically correct. Anyway, yeah, if you can get your hands on the pilot and like the humor, you'll like the rest of the series, so far at least; if you don't, you won't.

I have a feeling I'll have MST3K: The Movie on repeat all weekend. Unless I watch the Eddie Izzard biopic. Oh, and I get to potentially break some stuff by installing a new shower head since i hate the one I have now.

So good of you to do this. I will donate 25 euro for the next chapter of 100 Situations or 20 euro for the next chapter of Letters to the Concern Haiti appeal.

i can't seem to vote (only see the answers) but i'd happily pay $10 for a chuck S3AU (or even more if it was a long piece like the first 3 in the series) and another $10 for the chuck nacho sampler coda.

Can I vote if I can't afford to bid? Hubby work troubles prevent that right now...

[identity profile] ndnickerson.livejournal.com 2010-02-06 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, you can vote. because really, i just like seeing if anyone wants to see jeffster running a private detective agency. LOL. and i'm sorry to hear about that! hope the trouble gets better soon.

Me too. :)

And then I will vote! The Jeffster idea was actually my FAVORITE. :)

Oh, and did you know that Community is produced by the Russo brothers, of Arrested Development fame? It's not shot in the same style, but there are a lot of similarities in its overall mood and absurdity. :)

LOL i've noticed that you like it a lot. why doesn't hulu get that if they kept current seasons up, more people would get involved in watching? *sigh* i'll see if i can track down an episode or two, do you recommend starting with the pilot?

Hulu put up the whole first 12 over the winter hiatus, but of course, that doesn't help now! (I wish all shows kept full seasons available).

However, I know you can watch them all here:

http://ch131.com/communityseason1.htm

The site only has one ad on top of the video that can be closed, and I haven't had any issues with popups or malware.

BTW, I loved it from the pilot on... but not everyone did. Most people agree that the show found its stride around episode 7. The highlights for most people are eps 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 15.
