neveralarchToday I was talking to my brother very briefly on the phone, and he was like "so, have you written any more fanfic lately?"
"Uh," I said, perpetually confused by the fact that people know I write fic, despite the fact that EVERYONE knows, "uh, yes." (Then the pause as I tried to remember what I've written lately that isn't mostly explicit sex and murder and also psychology metaphors.) "Oh! I've written Gallifrey fic! With prirates!"
"Pirates?" says he. "Are they piratey?"
"...yes."
"Are they piratical?"
"Yeah."
"Are they-"
"It has pirates in it. That is all." My brother is enamored of redundancy.
"Does it have Pirates of Penzance references?"
"No-o," say I, but of course that is a lie, as I realize when I pull up the fic on my laptop. "Wait! It's called The Very Model!"
This is when he started singing I Am the Very Model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer.
This is all to say, my brother is Quality, especially when we are not in the same state and can't physically fight. I'm not sure how we're going to survive a MONTH ALONE TOGETHER after I graduate, but I guess it'll have to involve more Gilbert and Sullivan and BFAs.
