kurofai | Spring 2013 Olympics news & newchapter of fic!

I feel kind of guilty posting again so soon, especially with the same fic, but I actually have some news regarding the Kurofai Olympics! We've pretty much decided we've gotten all the respondents we were gonna get to our poll, so I'm pleased to announce that official sign-ups for the

kurofai comm's 2013 Spring Olympics, 'Technobabble vs Handwavey Magic' (or the 8,000 alternative names for the same general concept given in that post) will be going up from the 8th-13th of February. This encompasses a weekend. The theme list will be posted from the 14th of February, and hopefully both teams will be decided and available to begin writing from February 17th. Fic posting will begin on March 10th! If you are interested in signing up but will not have access to the internet during our official signups, please send me a PM or email (kaltia at gmail.com) letting me know which team you'd like to be on & I'll sign you up.

This is your last chance before signups to clear up any confusion you may have about the olympics! Hit me with your questions and I will do that thing I do where I answer you in interpretive dance and it's all really really awkward cos you can't actually see my dance through your internet connection.

Anyway, I did a thing.

OH ITS ON, BIATCH.

my personal best was 50k this time i'm going for 51k

cos i just have to beat it, i don't have to beat it by a lot, right?

I can't remember how much I wrote last time, I think it was like 10k

but it was terribly angsty so my goal this time is... to not be so angsty? idek?

BEATING IT BY A BIT TOTALLY COUNTS OK

OMFG YOU CREEPY ASS OWL YOU KNOW WHAT I SEE YOUR OWL AND RAISE YOU MY PRIME MINISTER

YEAH THAS RIGHT

ok you almost win right now because your pm took down tony abbott like a hitmonlee, the only reason you don't win straight-up is she hasn't legalised gay marriage yet >:(

PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE JULIA

I could get all thoughtful and political...

and say while I am a fervent supporter of gay marriage (duh, been dreaming about my wedding to the gf and getting into conniptions over where we're gonna honeymoon for YEARS now) I can sorta see why she didn't I mean, it's an issue over here, but since religion isn't as ingrained in our politics as it is in other countries, most de facto gay couples (like yours truly) have pretty much the same rights as de facto straight couples, and the stuff we don't have is mostly financial as opposed to basic need for safety and not being harrassed by bible-thumpers and such in the streets. And we have bigger fish to fry as well, e.g. boatpeople. So while I don't agree with it, and think that if she showed off that steel spine of hers which lurks somewhere beneath the ranga hair and actually said fuck it, gay marriage, do what you want, she'd earn like 1000% of the gay vote overnight, I sorta see where she's coming from even if I don't like it. At least she gave her party a conscience vote because while she personally doesn't support it, she acknowledges that her personal opinions should not dictate party line, and gave everyone the choice to vote it into their policies, which it now is, and that's pretty fucking decent of her. Unlike Abbott, aka Mad Monk, whose sister is gay and he still won't give his party a conscience vote at ALL, the fucker.

...lets not and say we did ne?

BUT LOOK AT THAT RAGE ON HER FACE I JUST ABOUT PISSED MYSELF LAUGHING WATCHING HER TEAR STRIPS OFF ABBOTT FUCK YEAH JULIA CAESER
