For

likeadeuce's birthday last week, I wanted to write something, but didn't manage in time--however, I did manage to help

second_batgirl while she wrote Crisis on Infinite Shrimp Boats. I'm posting our IM, because it's kind of hilarious and also,

second_batgirl wants it known whose fault that fic really is.

The shrimp boat is my fault. There, I've said it.

So when you've had a chance to read that entirely awesome fic, here is a little behind-the-scenes commentary for you.

second_batgirl: give me a plot bunny!

second_batgirl: something X-Men!
LadySarai: ummmm... Jean and Wanda being friends!
LadySarai: Jean and Scott?
LadySarai: Jean's birthday!
LadySarai: um, Jean!
LadySarai: er.
LadySarai: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

second_batgirl: heee!

second_batgirl: maybe I will write something Exiles
LadySarai: ...that is not anything I suggested.
LadySarai: MUTANT SHRIMP BOATS.

second_batgirl: hahahaha
LadySarai: THERE NEEDS TO BE A SHRIMP BOAT.
LadySarai: Oh, she likes Kate Kane!
LadySarai: Kaaaate Kane--on a shrimp boat?

second_batgirl: HAHAHA

second_batgirl: IF I WRITE SHRIMP BOAT FIC, IT IS YOUR FAULT
LadySarai: EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH SHRIMP BOATS!

second_batgirl: TELL ME TO STOP
LadySarai: NO STOPPING NOW
LadySarai: Go ahead and blame me. I don't mind.
LadySarai: the sound you hear is cackling.

LadySarai: She likes the shrimp boat!! IT IS A THEME. THERE ARE ICONS!

second_batgirl: I have no PLOT
LadySarai: BUT YOU HAVE A SHRIMP BOAT!

second_batgirl: BUT PLOT
LadySarai: SHRIMP BOATS NEED NO PLOTS!
LadySarai: SHRIMP BOATS ARE MUTANT AND MAGICAL!
LadySarai: AND EXISTENTIAL, I AM SURE.

second_batgirl: GOOD, THEN YOU CAN HELP ME WRITE IT
LadySarai: DANCE OF JOY ON THE MUTANT SHRIMP BOAT!

LadySarai: Dude the boat's like a YACHT of SUPERHERO CRISES.

second_batgirl: CRISIS ON INFINITE SHRIMP BOATS
LadySarai: YEEEEEEEEEEEES YOU HAVE A TITLE
LadySarai: CAN THAT BE THE TITLE PRETTY PRETTY PLEEASE?
LadySarai: WITH A MY LITTLE PONY ON TOP

second_batgirl: FINE
LadySarai: YAY!
LadySarai: MAYBE DEADPOOL SHOULD GET INVOLVED.
LadySarai: I DON'T KNOW WHY.

second_batgirl: DEADPOOL WILL BE THE VOICE OF THE SHRIMP BOAT
LadySarai: BWAHAHAHA!
LadySarai: AND CABLE WILL BE THE CAPTAIN!

second_batgirl: MAYBE

second_batgirl: I CANNOT WRITE DEADPOOL AND IT IS A PROBLEM
LadySarai: I DO NOT KNOW HIM AND SO CANNOT HELP YOU BUT HE SEEMS LIKE A HANDY GUY TO HAVE AROUND, BREAKING THAT FOURTH WALL ALL THE TIME

second_batgirl: the entire tone of the fic is about to shift, and the beginning will be FAR TOO SERIOUS

second_batgirl: I MEAN, EVEN WITH THE MAGIC SHRIMP BOAT
LadySarai: OH WELL
LadySarai: WORRY ABOUT THAT LATER.

second_batgirl: I STILL BLAME YOU
LadySarai: NOW IS THE TIME FOR WRITINGS, PRECIOUS!
LadySarai: ...I SOUND LIKE GOLLUM.

second_batgirl: :P :P :P
LadySarai: DOES GOLLUM NEED SHRIMP BOAT TIME? I FEEL LIKE IF ANYONE EVER NEEDED A MAGICAL EXISTENTIAL MUTANT SHRIMP BOAT, IT MIGHT BE GOLLUM.

second_batgirl: HE PROBABLY DOES, HE IS ON ONE OF THE INFINITE SHRIMP BOATS

second_batgirl: HIDING FROM SAM

second_batgirl: WHO WANTS TO THROW HIM OFF THE BOAT
LadySarai: SAM IS ON A DIFFERENT BOAT!

second_batgirl: IT IS DIVIDED BY FANDOM, DOOM HAS PROCLAIMED THIS TO BE SO
LadySarai: OH, OKAY.
LadySarai: THE BOATSES ARE BIGSES, SAYS SMEAGOL.
LadySarai: ...CAN YOU TELL I SPENT MOST OF MY EVENING READING TWILIGHT PARODIES?

MEANWHILE ON TWITTER:

likeadeuce: This fic isn't going to function the way I want it to. Next time I'll just write porn. (I always say that).
LadySarai's Twitter, sometime later and unrelated but I had forgotten said previous tweet: Everything is better with shrimp boats! Right,

likeadeuce? (No, there is no context.)

likeadeuce: Dude, I just assumed you were requesting shrimp boat porn!

AND BACK IN AIM:

second_batgirl: plot, I still need one
LadySarai: okay, ha, can we fit shrimp boat porn into your fic?

second_batgirl: HAHAHA

second_batgirl: THIS IS

likeaduece'S FAULT
LadySarai: IT IS. AND TWITTER.
LadySarai: SHE THINKS I WANT SHRIMP BOAT PORN.
LadySarai: I THINK THIS MEANS SHE SHOULD GET SHRIMP BOAT PORN.

LadySarai: I KNOW!! SHE LIKES OLLIE AND HAL, RIGHT? ROAD TRIP ON A SHRIMP BOAT WITH SEX.

second_batgirl: THIS IS YOUR FAULT
LadySarai: OKAY SO WHEN SHE LOVES IT I WILL TAKE THE CREDIT ;)

second_batgirl: PFFT
LadySarai: YOU LOVE ME.
LadySarai: YOU KNOW IT.

second_batgirl: :P :P :P
LadySarai: THOSE ARE SMILEYS OF LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURVE!
LadySarai: LIKE LARVA BUT TOTALLY NOT. UNLESS IT'S MUTANT SHRIMP LARVA! AND THEN STILL NOT.
LadySarai: ...do I need to break out my cute and endearing face yet?

second_batgirl: :P :P :P

second_batgirl: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I HAVE 863 WORDS OF THIS
LadySarai: THIS IS THE POWER OF CRACK AND THE MAGICAL MUTANT SHRIMP BOAT

second_batgirl: ALL YOUR FAULT

second_batgirl: I HAVE EVEN TWITTERED IT, SO IT IS SO
LadySarai: YOU SAY THIS LIKE I SHOULD BE SHAMED

second_batgirl: :P
LadySarai: <3!

LadySarai: MAYBE SCOTT IS JUST HAVING A BAD DREAM. HE HIT HIS HEAD. I DON'T KNOW?

second_batgirl: ME EITHER
LadySarai: YOU COULD HAVE SCOTT WAKE UP ON A SHRIMP BOAT AND THINK THAT HE'S GETTING TOO MUCH SUN OR SOMETHING.

second_batgirl: THEN WHY WERE THE OTHER HEROES THERE
LadySarai: BECAUSE SCOTT'S BRAIN IS DOING WEIRD THINGS.
LadySarai: I DON'T KNOW, IT'S YOUR EXISTENTIAL SHRIMP BOAT!

second_batgirl: I think I'm done

second_batgirl: IT MAKES NO SENSE
LadySarai: YAY!!!
LadySarai: BAH, SENSE.
LadySarai: YOU SET IT ON AN EXISTENTIAL, MAGICAL MUTANT SHRIMP BOAT! WITH DEADPOOL! WHO NEEDS SENSE!

second_batgirl: I DO
LadySarai: YOU ARE CLEARLY TOO PICKY.

In conclusion: WE LOVE YOU,

likeadeuce!! ♥
