Also,that Clothesline upon which Screed hangs 'iz raties -t'is genius 'n quite memorable! *N.B. Javier's Triumph being THE reason that during FK Wars (and our private Vaq stories) 98-100% of Vaqs ride Triumphs (Cloud & Naia are the ONLY exceptions) **we could also include Vachon's Helmets: Motorcycle + Conquistador. Plus his Spear Plus his Boots Plus his glorious long dark hair And big brown eyes <blink> <blink> Well maybe it's not so appropro to do icons to aspects of characters bodies like hair + eyes, just admire them And appreciate them and just be happy they were there is enough ;) ... Actually any & everything pertaining to THE Glorious Spaniard is worthy of an Icon ...Can my VaqSisters think of anything else? ~Oliwni,Thanks!~Olegwasi,Dream well!~Angel Perpetual VaqDreamingVaq, IncarNate,RatPacker,Urchin,with NA Tendencies Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2012 07:18:39 -0400 From: Greer Watson <gwatson2@r.......> Subject: Re: Faction icons It's pretty obvious that, in the race of the icons, the lamp-lovers have it over the fireplace-fans. So far most posts have been suggestions for names for a faction for Schanke's duck-lamp. For the fireplace, we have the following suggestions, edited a bit: - Firelighters (from my first post) - Dragon-petters (ditto) - Hearth Huggers (NAT) For the duck lamp, the suggestions break down into different types. First, we've got the duck-type names: - Duckies (from my first post) - Duckers (Foxy11814, on LiveJournal) - Donald's Ducks (Walt) - Lame Ducks (Phylis) - Quackers (Walt) Second, we've got the lamp/light-type names: - Lamplighters (Walt) So far, though, none of the suggestions has been seconded--let alone anything resembling a consensus! So, if anyone wants to put in their two cents worth...?

In my quest through the archives, it's become clear that there was at one time a bit of a vogue for comic factioneering--in other words, lists of made-up factions whose primary function was simply to entertain. For example, back on 14 March 2001, Molly/Stormborn presented fellow list-members with a Top Ten "There Oughta Be a Faction" List. (Of course "Top Ten"s are also pretty popular.) You can see that the whole thing was very tongue-in-cheek. Here's the list: 10. Ribena Defense League - for those who willingly ingest strange British foodstuffs 9. Toronto Knights - anything and everything Toronto! 8. The Screed Investment Club - theme song is "Viva Las Vegas," plans cons in Las Vegas and mini-cons at Indian casinos across the country, favorite shiny-pretty is anything that will fit into a slot machine 7. The Petite Legion - previously proposed 6. They Might be Giants - any FK fan over 5'5" 5. Knightly Order of the Sensible Shoes - those able to run away fast during Wars 4. Swap Meet Rats - follow Screed's lead by turning junk into cash (newletter is 'Dumpster Diving after Dark') 3. Dark Historians - research any place and time period where LaCroix and/or Nick might have been 2. Morgue Maniacs - akin to the CaddyWhacks, but devoted to Natalie's toys (including the caterpillar!) 1. The Purrfect Faction - proposed a while back. Those who believe LaCroix and Sidney are soulmates, and want to see Sidney feast on the caviar and pate that LaCroix can afford. Well, #10 clearly hit a nerve or two, for there proceeded a spirited defence of Ribena. (And I heartily concur!) This segued into a discussion of oddities in British cuisine that lasted long enough for McLisa to remind people to stay on topic. Oddly, the follow-up on #2 didn't start until several days later. It was on 24 March that Tserisa picked up on the "Morgue Maniacs". First, she pointed out that, the way the "faction" had been defined in the Top Ten list, it was actually already covered by the NickKnack part of the Caddywhack faction. However, she then asked, "On the other hand, is there a faction for Grace and Nat? Seems like a darn good name for that. ;) I must admit I have a fascination with forensic pathology, coroners, and so on. :> " Three days later, Judy Freudenthal said she shared the fascination, and added, "I think there should be a Nat and Grace faction, as long as it does NOT become a slash one. Everyone else has a faction. Morgue Maniacs sounds like a good title for it. As good as any other one." Eve Dutton immediately wrote, "Count me in! I've always been interested in forensic pathology myself [...]" But things then got derailed when Tim Phillips said that "DeadOfTheKnight" would be a better name, and added, "P.S. or is that a faction for all the bit-players who are 1st/2nd scene people (scene 1 - the show opener - they are killed. Scene 2, we find them with a toe-tag with Nat describing what has happened to them to Nick/Schanke/Tracy) :-)" And people then turned to a light discussion of toe-tag wearers, and whether Schanke would qualify. Well, I'm not so sure about a faction for dead bit-players (!), but there's surely a crying need for a Grace & Nat faction. After all, we now have factions for Nick & Schanke (PotM), Natalie's family (LambKins), and Tracy's family (Vetterans). The collegial friendship between Natalie and Grace is certainly popular: why not the Morgue Maniacs? Icon forthcoming.

Well, maybe a bit *too* brilliant, like Reese's Pieces. One has to consider what the members will call themselves. ("I'm a Donald Duck. I mean a Donald's Ducks. I mean a Donald's Duck. I mean--no wait! I got...that last one? Well, *one* of them! One of those must be right. Right?) Lamplighters is good, too. Or simply Quackers. Because devotees of the Lamp are...obviously...quackers.
