In honor of Almost Human Fan Weekend (a super-casual incarnation of @ahfancon) I’m sharing my latest AH fandragons. First is yes, another Dorian, but this one is ID# 20480167 (and you may notice I gave him giraffe, wahahaha). And second is Disrupt, an official Hacker (Lightning subspecies) who I’m training to be on my sci-fi/robot/android coli team :3
p.s. if you’re an AH fan who also plays FR and would be interested in one of Dorian’s children (his mate’s name is Lumo, in honor of Nigel Vaughn’s company that built the DRNs), contact me and I’ll see about hooking you up :3 ... I also have a couple other AH-inspired circuit pairs.
If you’re an AH fan who has never heard of Flight Rising but you like dragons, well you’re in luck because May 4-8 a registration window is opening and you should come join me! (I’m actually in Nature Flight, not Lightning, but it’s all good)
I am a bad gift receiver :(. I totally forgot to post about my second gift from AHFancon. This great felt giraffe made by tracker-chip. Pictured here with my other giraffe that I am going to call Victor since he now has a little buddy of his very own.
I’m looking for someone who is semi-tumblr savvy that might be willing to actually archive the AHFanCon blog into permalinks. I made a masterpost for last year’s but haven’t gotten around to doing this year’s, so I’d to have one of those made too... basically someone who would make a linked tag page (through the tumblr blog customization, not a separate webpage or anything) with all the panels & such from both years. All of the posts should be properly tagged (with “panel” or “ahfancon” or various things like the character name and such) so it shouldn’t be too hard to do, just a little time-consuming and it’s time I don’t really have. I would share access to this blog with you so I’d prefer it to be someone I’ve worked with before ^_^’

I've just posted a new story, gifted to Tracker Chip in honour of the second Almost Human virtual fancon. You can find it here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3559580
Summary: Rudy goes to buy a coffeemaker and leaves the store with something extra.
My pinch hit gift exchange piece for jjjat3am sorry it took all week.
Despite his colleagues less than enthusiastic support of his wanting to do another undercover assignment Rudy wanted to get himself better prepared anyway. He called up his friend Nate who trained horses south of the city and he had been eager to teach Rudy a few tricks. They set up a time for him to come up in two weeks, assuming that work wouldn’t keep him away. It was all planned and Rudy for his part was excited to try out a new experience.
Then he made the mistake of asking if he needed to bring anything.
“Yeah, bring me a new coffeemaker,” Nate said and hung up.
So the next day found him in the nearest all in one mart staring at the shelves. There were rows and rows of machines to choose from and Rudy stood there thinking through his options. He knew what kind of coffeemaker he would like of course, the robotic ones with all the latest functions and an organic printer attachment that could give you six different flavours of croissant with your morning coffee. Nate wasn’t one for a lot of technology though. He wasn’t on off-the-grider, no one these days could be while living on this side of the wall, but he adapted slowly. He was always content to buy a functional model of whatever he needed and use it until it was broken beyond repair.
With that in mind Rudy eventually picked out a coffeemaker with a variety of settings for different drinks, in blue so it would match Nate’s countertops, and with an extendable warranty.
He had just pulled down the machine when there was a commotion from the next aisle over.
“Come on, Uncle Matt, this is boring!”
“I know, Jessica, but please I’m almost done.”
“No, I want to leave now!”
“Jessica, get back here!”
The young girl came running around the corner and slammed right into Rudy. He lost his grip on the machine and it crashed to the floor.
Ignoring that Rudy knelt down next to the girl named Jessica.
“Are you all right?”
“Yeah,” she said getting up off the floor.
Then Uncle Matt came around the corner.
“I’m so sorry about this sir…oh, Doctor Lom.”
Rudy looked up in surprise and recognized the man he had seen at Dorian’s review board panel.
“Mr. Stevenson, it’s lovely to see again. Well I guess it’s not lovely at a moment like this, but…how are you?”
Before he could answer a security bot floated by and hovered over the scene.
“Sir, it is my duty to inform you that there is a strict store policy that, you break it you buy it.”
“Thank you I know,” Rudy replied tersely, and picked up the machine.
“I’ll pay for it.”
“Oh no, no, it’s fine really.”
“Please it’s my fault I should have kept a better watch on her, and what do you have to say, Jessica?”
Jessica scuffed her shoe on the ground and muttered, “sorry, sir.”
“It’s quite all right I can fix it.” Rudy looked over the motor that was now poking through a cracked part of the plastic.
“In fact I can probably make it better. It’s a TX 83 model it’ll allow for upgrades.”
“If you use the new lithium chargers you could up the power by 23%.”
Rudy looked at him in disbelief and he shrugged.
“I have a minor in electrical engineering.”
“I’m impressed, Mr. Stevenson.”
“Please call me Matthew, Doctor Lom.”
“Rudy, then.”
“Rudy.”
Jessica rolled her eyes muttering that now she’d found Uncle Matt a date.
They went to pay with Matthew keeping one hand on her to prevent any more accidents, and he and Rudy talking all the while. By the time they made it through the line at the register they were on to whether the upgrades planned for the space station were good or not.
“Well, Rudy, this has been a fascinating discussion. Maybe we could continue it further…over dinner?”
Rudy just stood there for a moment as his mind processed what he was being asked. “Dinner! Right yes of course umm…how about Thursday?”
Thursday was agreed on Rudy left the shop with his machine, a goofy grin on his face, and Matthew’s phone number.
I had to wait to pick it from the post office but it's here! My very own Almost Human soundtrack! Many thanks to the wonderful tracker-chip for making and sending it and the card too!
