I'VE BEEN KRIPKED!!!!!!

[elrhiarhodan]

I just watched (or started to watch) one of the promos for tomorrow night's EXTRA SPECIAL Mozzie episode, The Dentist of Detroit, and there is a very heart breaking scene where the infant is found abandoned at a church. He's holding a teddy bear whose name is Mozart.

Now, last year - I wrote Names Have Power:

The music is still playing in the background, now Prokofiev’s Scythian Suite, and by the time The Glorious Departure of Lolly and the Sun’s Procession rings in, Moz is pretty far gone. He’s Toscanini, Bernstein and Mehta - conducting the great orchestras of the world, and he’s standing, waving his arms, calling up the strings, keeping the horns in line, letting the percussion shimmer through to its magnificent, triumphant end.

The slow roll of Neal and Peter’s clapping jolts him back to reality, but there’s no mockery in Peter’s voice when he asks “Having fun, Mozart?”

And Mozart Oscar Zuckerman’s world drops out from under him.

Then I wrote Preable Redux VI - Promote the General Welfare:

The morning after they yanked out the bugs, he was greeted at the office by two men in dark suits and escorted to an empty office in a deserted corridor. A third man was waiting. Moz sat down, carefully keeping his briefcase between his legs. “Who are you?”

The man ignored his question. “You are Mozart Oscar Zuckerman?”

“Yes”

“Interesting name, Mozart…”

Okay - I didn't know that Moz would be a foundling (who did) ...but still.




So psyched for tomorrow night now.

Not that I wasn't.

I swear they read you. Makes me want to backhand Eastin for that comment about, "I like the slash; it makes me laugh." It makes you rich, you plagiarist! You should get paid royalties, Elr. And a few other of my friends, too!

About Moz being left on church steps, though: OMG, break my HEART!!!!

[elrhiarhodan]

HUGS YOU!

Now, I don't actually think that Eastin got it from me. But it's a nice little fantasy. And so much of my fic gets jossed that it's nice to draw aces every once in a while.

I thought the very same thing (they covered their butts by having the "bear" named Mozart)! But, after all they picked a damn good writer to pull a sting on!

I swear I will lose it if Moz still has the bear.

[elrhiarhodan]

D'awww. Thank you, darling.

Yeah - if Moz still has that bear - I'm gonna lose it too.

I just watched the preview clip and it made me cry. I remember being the odd kid in the foster home, and I can feel his pain. -cries-

On a happier note, I do think it's fun when fanfiction and the world we play in collide, don't you? :-)

*hugs you*

I pounded my desk so hard, I bruised my palms! That's how thrilled I was.

[surreal-44.livejournal.com]

Hee! I would have never have even thought of it if it hadn't been for you. :D :D

There goes my theory that his name was Moses... The jossing burns.

[elrhiarhodan]

There were a lot of early stories that had Mozzie short for Moses or Moishe.

And yes - he does have that quality.

And yes (squared) - Moses is a terrific name for an abandoned infant.

Yeah, I had him as "Mr. Moskowitz". Not bitter....nooooot bitter....

[elrhiarhodan]

Hey, you're turn will come soon.

*pets you*

[elainasaunt.livejournal.com]

Yayyyy! I've been hoping this would turn out to be true. Can hardly wait.

I didn't catch that. I just was all like "The glasses are too cute!" And the bear is awesome!

But I'll bet you he still has the bear!
