alryssa, and I am attempting though I am whee whoa wibble:
Friday 21st April is COMMENT TO EVERYONE ON YOUR FRIENDSPAGE DAY.
The idea isn't necessarily to comment to every single post on your friendspage, but to comment at least once to each friend who posts that day. You don't need to comment on community posts to do the meme. It's just about exchanging a few words with the people you have friended when they post on that day.
Fridays are often kind of slow on LJ, so I thought it would be a nice meme to encourage more talking on a Friday!
And!

Author: kbk
Fanda: DW crossovering with various. In this instance, House.
He does, actually, have a first name.
He does, actually, have outstanding grades and recommendations from excellent schools.
He could, actually, have picked and chosen from any number of jobs; have worked in far more congenial company; have earned quite a bit more money; have started building a reputation; or even have taken a Gap Year to add to the one already on his file.
There is still a surprising amount of the Earth that he hasn't seen. He's been places in the US, Canada, Mexico, and a little of Europe at the start of his abortive Gap. Then - and he still wasn't entirely sure how, which was annoying - he'd left a little pub in London and wound up halfway across the galaxy with a hangover and a stick of celery. The latter had promptly been claimed by a man in beige (the whitest man Eric had ever met, in most senses of the word), but the hangover stuck with Eric through the explanations of temporal displacement and rips in the multi-dimensional-continuum.
It's a combination of yet another hangover, the good coffee (that Chase buys and only pulls out once in a long while and will not let anybody else make) and (though he'd never admit it, since he does have a reputation to uphold, and everything) sheer giddiness at having been right and managing to pull off yet another miracle cure (and this time he was more than just a sounding-board-and-or-flunky, this time it was his experience that made the difference) that finally loosens his tongue. "Just like that time on New Paisley," he says contemplatively. "Except there were more moons."
It's not, actually, unusual for the room to be quiet, and it's not that unusual for the others to be looking at him. In combination, though...
Foreman winces. Chase flinches a little in sympathy, Cameron looks wide-eyed, and House has an eyebrow raised in an expression which he's probably mentally labelled as "inquisitive, sardonic, slightly surprised." Foreman wants to wince again, but doesn't. Brazen it out, Eric, he tells himself, in a voice that he hasn't heard for years.
"New Paisley. Crappy little place with pretensions of planethood. Cheap beer, though." It's not really worth hoping that the others will assume it's some ghetto slang they've never heard before, but he can't help it.
House's eyes sharpen, and he might be the most intense(ly irritating) human that Eric's ever met. "I see," says House. "And when, exactly, did you find the time to go gallivanting around the galaxy?"
Foreman glares back. "I knew a guy with a time machine."
Cameron giggles, and that's that.
Next, and last: a surprise. hah. [no, this isn't because I haven't quite decided yet. really!]
