Hee, all of these make me feel almost relieved that I'm too new to be included in any. xD *applauds all the awesomeness going on before scuttling back to her own writing*
@PingZing: You write Rose and John pretty well, imo. Nicely done, and cute.

"I know, Dr. Graven..."
"...can't just keep looking after you! People are getting seriously injured out there!"
"Yes, Dr. Graven..."
"Really, do you even need to type up n-teen thousand words per chapter? Honestly! It's killing your hands!"
"Dr. Graven..."
"And do you even know how hard it is for the others and me to keep up with that sort of conte-"
"MISTER GRAVEN, WOULD YOU JUST WRAP MY FINGERS ALREADY?!"
Dr. Graven stopped, stunned.
"Yes, er..."
Redeemer allowed himself to calm before speaking again.
"...I need to get back to work right away, Dr. Graven... Surely you understand."
"Yes, I understand."
Graven took out a bottle of anti-bacterial lotion.
Redeemer groaned.
"Really, doc? Vriska-strength?"
Graven clicked his tongue.
"Well, Skaian... Your finger wounds are particularly deep this time... It may take a while to heal, and we can't take any chances, should your bandages come off."
Redeemer prepared himself.
Outside the office, a worried Doodled patiently waited, after being clocked upside the head when asking lucidSeraph if he could autograph his-
A loud scream interrupted Doodled's thoughts.
Oh... Fuck.
A nearby Mirdan started sweating hard enough to make Equius proud.
Also, I base personalities off of avatars...
Kind of.
Last line made me think of the classic "A wild [person] appears!" (I almost missed it, too. Stupid speed reading habits of mine!)
"like trying to explain the flavour of chocolate to a rock"
Maybe it was the position he was laying in- Lord English knew that these air vents were designed for people more... smaller. It didn't help that his arms were falling asleep. Still, for observing the goings on in the thread, there was no better place.
From here he could see Jim and Path, the vitriolic friends, one moment arguing about whose Spades Slick was better, the next reading each other's writings and extolling the virtues of the wonderful writings. He could see lucidSeraph, slowly getting drunker in the corner while churning out fiction that was generally excellent.
Of course, who could forget DerMonster, master of the Creepy!Felt, falling asleep in the corner of the room. And so many others, some just popping in for a moment to drop a small stack of paper on the floor and then running for the shadows, like cockroaches when the lights are turned on. Others did as he did- lurked, in the dark corners and high places, behind the bar and under the tables. They commented, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet as a mouse.
But he was the king of them all, up here on his throne, the best lurker.
A creaking noise beneath him. He barely has time to realize what is about to happen before the vents collapse. Down he falls, landing on his back to look into the faces of all these great writers. Each one watching, waiting to see what he would do. The silence was overwhelming, broken only by Lucid saying something about Master's Degrees and shoulda been an artist.
Finally, he held up a small stack of paper.
"For your perusal, gentlemen."
AUTHOR'S NOTES
You're the main character, aren't you?
Uh, doy?
Ugh so crappy. This is what I get for writing at eleven o'clock at night.
Quotes
"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."

"...and then the little hologram changes accordingly?"
"Right."
lucidSeraph and lantadyme were sitting at opposite ends of the giant circular table.
In the center of the table was a giant hologram being projected onto an equally-large cylindrical screen via eight different devices scattered around the room.
The super-computer that ran this technology ran in the back of the room with minimal noise.
Lantadyme furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"It's not working."
"You gotta press enter."
"Oh."
He pressed the "==>" key.
Nothing happened.
"Why is nothing happening?"
"What'd you type in?"
"'Rose: Become a Strider'"
"Ah... You see, she's already Dave's ectobiological brother... Therefore, she's already a Strider."
"oh..."
"Besides, you should probably try something with easily visible results."
"Hmm..."
Lantadyme quickly typed in something different.
Rose: Become a dude
The Rose staring intelligently at the two people around her slowly started to shake.
A forest of hair suddenly grew from her chin, her arm muscles became more defined, and her entire figure seemed to transform...
Into a dude.
Lantadyme stared in honest shock.
Seraph left the room.
He'd come back in an hour, to see what shenanigans had been come up with...
An hour later
Seraph strolled into the room.
He grew bug-eyed.
Projected onto the Cyli-Screen was a scene that was quite... Excellent.
The bearded Rose was sitting atop an ice-breathing, purple-spotted, leprechaun-spitting dragon.
The dragon was racing through an ever-expanding planet, crushing the many villages of lemurs and iguanas that lived there.
A winged, devil-horned Vriska flew around the bearded Rose, but every time she tried to initiate STRIFE, Rose would force her to move away, via several of her HMLRL (Huge Motherfucking Lightening Rocket Launcher) blasts.
Oh, and a miniature Kanaya clung to Rose's shoulder, love-struck.
Seraph tried to look casual, as he ambled over to view what lantadyme was typing in next.
He grew bug-eyed once more.
"NO! DON'T DO I-"
Lantadyme whirled around, accidentally pressing the "==>" key.
Disaster struck.
He had typed:
Rocket: Become real.
"LOOK OUT!"
Seraph pushed lantadyme out of the way... and just in time, as the lone rocket expelled at the time came through the Cyli-Screen...
And went just barely over their heads!
Just then, Decker appeared.
"Hey guys, what's u-"
He was killed by a giant rocket of lightening.
"OH NO! YOU KILLED DECKER!"
Path poked his head into the room.
"YOU BASTARD!"

Oh, god, what time is it? Is the new thread open already? Sporkaganza rubs his eyes and yawns. Maybe there's some new fic or something...
Spork stumbles over to the computer. "Oh hey lantadyme... is that Dave/Terezi?"
"Yes." lantadyme doesn't bother to look at him.
Spork tries to read it, squinting through his myopia. "Uh... yeah, I guess this is pretty good... it's a nice pairing..."
"Yes, it is. Thank you. Is that it?"
"OK jeez... you don't have to be so... cranky, I just got up..." Spork crosses his arms.
"You always just got up, Spork." lantadyme smirks slightly.
"Yeah, true that... I'm gonna go write some more of the animes crossover thing. Or some more Eridan fic." Spork shuffles away with his lazy, slouching gait.
Since my only characterization is that I'm apparently sleepy and cranky I just ran with it.

A rustling sound came from his bedroom. Oh, honestly, not this again. He peered in to see Path, halfway in Jim's window, teeth clamped around the stems of a bouquet of flowers. Jim sighed, and went to get the flyswatter.
"But, but we write about the same characters and settings!" Path pleaded as Jim Groovester swatted his/her head repeatedly.
It was then that Jim Groovester took inspiration from the actor he was basically copying in every way to write The Sapphire of Alternia. "At least we'll always have Problem Sleuth."
