Of This and Other Worlds

Well, this was a nice surprise:



I didn't even realize hc_fanficawards existed until just now, but I'm very pleased and grateful to chmaresh for nominating Galatea in the "Long" category.

cesario, you've been nommed as well, in case you didn't know.

And the rest of you (or at least, those who don't run screaming in horror at the thought of House/Cameron in any form) can see the list of nominees and cast your ballot here if you're so inclined.

* Not to be confused with the inevitable episode of House where Hugh Laurie's old friend Stephen puts in a guest appearance, which would be Ham and Fry, or the little Welsh town with all the bookshops, which is Hay-on-Wye.

I really, really liked this episode. It reminded me of all the things I enjoy most about House when the writing is really on. Also, it was a good episode for Chase, who has been ignored too much lately, and I always enjoy House and Wilson playing conversational tennis. Unfortunately it was yet another example of this season's persistent ( spoiler ) motif, and it's about the 10,000th time we've all seen a story about a passionate young charismatic preacher who ( spoiler ), but those are minor quibbles in what was, overall, a really great script.

However, what I really have to say right now is this:

I CANNOT CONTAIN MYSELF ANY LONGER.

THE WORLD IS READY. IT IS TIME.

Seriously, I have had this idea bubbling in my mind for weeks, but it is so heretical and would drive so many people in House fandom nuts for so many different reasons that I --

Actually I don't know why I haven't written about it before, come to think of it. But anyway. My heartfelt thanks to Doris Egan, a brilliant writer who has confirmed for me in the clearest possible terms what I have been thinking for weeks now:

THANK YOU.

GOOD NIGHT.

In the last 24 hours I have written three of the BESTEST HOUSE/CAMERON CONVERSATIONS EVAR.

Well, maybe not that good, but I like them. I'm just extra-happy because up until yesterday my brain was stubbornly refusing to provide me with any actual House dialogue, but now House has taken up residence in my frontal temporal parietal ear -- uh, whatever lobe applies -- and he's on a roll. So is Cameron, which is also a relief because until yesterday all she wanted to do was drink coffee and emote, but now she's talking back.

So yay for potential Housefic! Now I just have to figure out, y'know, the actual story.

That shouldn't be too hard, right?

(Ha.)
