Phew!

So I finally picked a costume for the "Come as you aren't" party, although for me, it's more 'come as you were'. Man I'd forgotten how much I love Gambit and loved writing him. I went in search of some icons (because that's usually my first stop) and nearly embarrassed myself in the reading room. *fans self* Now we have a big, working TV, I MUST HAVE Origins: Wolverine on DVD. As long as I can stop myself from drooling on it. I'm only up to date to the end of the Foxx storyline, but boy oh boy do I want to get caught up.

Anyway, my costume is definitely going to be Gambit-shaped. Yes, I've written it before, but who around here remembers that? And since it was my first fandom, it's cosy and nostalgic to go back to it.

I have half of a sort of kernal of an idea but if anyone wants to throw me a prompt, I'll see if it hits the spot. *twirls* Looks like I'm out to party after all \o/

I only know Gambit from the comics (not the movie) but permit me to scream WEEEEEEEEE!!!!! at the idea of you writing him

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I seem to have a thing for mysterious conmen in long coats ;)

Thanks, hon. Now all I have to do is find a story for him...

I don't know the character, so I'm not sure I'd give a good prompt, but yay for finding a costume!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Heh, let's see if I can actually write anything now. But I do love the character, so am looking forward to giving it a go :)

Yay, back to Gambit! He was always one of my favourites, I'm really going to look forward to reading this.

Squeeeeeeeeeee! I'm so glad my dizzy spell wore off, because I can do some pre-party twirling without fear of actually doing bodily harm to myself or anybody else.

Gambit... *squeeee!*

It's been so long, but the voice is right there! *rubs hands together* this is FUN

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Glad you're feeling better! And my costume is going to be glued together at the edges, but I'll be there :D

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*grin* He's certainly popular around here...

[karaokegal.livejournal.com]

No one'll notice the safety pins either.

Ah, Mike Gambit (I am presuming it is he, not some spandexed superhero from a cult US comic). Excellent choice.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Nope, sorry, spandex it is. XD

Maybe I'll try the New Avengers next year...

I adore Gambit and have from the moment baby!Storm hooked up with him, but I really can't stand that movie.

If you're still interested in a prompt, how about something from that early period when he and Storm were working as thieves together?

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Huh, that's an interesting thought, although I might bring it forward a little - I've read those issues, but don't consider myself very familiar with that part of X-canon, if you see what I mean.

But I do love Storm and Gambit working together...

*ponders*

Thanks!
