Award! + Quickie Qrossover

[beer_good_foamy]

So apparently I won something at wicked_awards. Specifically, Building Character won for Best Gen. Aw, shucks.

Thanks a lot to everyone involved, and congratulations to all the winners! Some great stuff there, go read now if you haven't already.

Also, just because I can, I have this idea of writing down a few bizarre or obscure crossovers that I could never make myself develop into anything longer. Here's one that people should at least be able to spot:

The Friendly Dark

Susie dreams of tigers, and wakes groaning. Now he's got her doing it. Hobbes is NOT REAL.

She keeps dreaming of tigers. She's heard about this. If you keep dreaming of someone, it means you're in love with them. And she so does not want to marry Calvin.

One day Calvin throws a snowball at her. She catches it in mid-air and sends it back to him hard enough to send him flying. She could swear the stuffed tiger sitting where he stood winks at her.

That night, she dreams of a tiger, and follows it into the desert landscape.

Susie as a Slayer? That's an idea I could get behind.

My younger brothers were into Calvin and Hobbes when we were growing up (I was more a Charlie Brown & Bloomsbury kind of gal); and the only comic I distinctly remember was the one where comes upon Hobbes lying under a tree and hugs him while Calvin has a shitfit about "girl germs"; while Hobbes grins like a fool and says to him "Go soak your head." That made me want a series where they ditched the boy and Susie and Hobbes went off and had adventures together.

Which is what you've written actually - and much better and lovelier than I could have imagined it.

(And explain to me again why it took me so long to figure out I was a lesbian? Hello, red flag?)
