Attack of the Chibis

Jack Skellington is chewing on my wrist.
His children are all dancing on my head.
Rick Castle does in poking me persist,
And Lynda is still oh-so-sweetly dead.
Dead Emily dissolves inside the light
While Tally Youngblood's hoverboarding past;
The Enterprise is darting out of sight
While Vogons drift about in sharp contrast.
I've thirteen Doctors fighting on my desk,
And ten Romanas all rolling their eyes;
Stone Aza is still cracked and statuesque,
Anubis is yet plotting our demise—
And I, the writer, must succumb to bane
Or sit and let them all drive me insane.

Dear Lord, I haven't written a sonnet in ages. This is interesting.
Just a fun and probably crappy little piece about the trials and tribulations of fanfiction writers. Heeheehee.
Seriously, I have fifty-one stories, a decent amount of which are unfinished, and several completely new ideas biting me... I hate it, but they won't leave me alone.
Shakespearian sonnet, ABABCDCDEFEFGG rhyme scheme. Hope you enjoyed.
Other contest notes: Oh, I dunno. Crazy sister?
Other other contest notes: Option 4.


La-La Challenge Whatsits:
Name: Emily
Age: 201 (15, if you're going by this particular regeneration cycle)
Sex: Female (How many guys do you know named Emily? )
Favourite genre: Of poetry? -thinks- I'm not sure. In general, sci-fi.
Favourite form: Freeverse.
Reasons I wish to succeed in this challenge: Because I haven't done rhyme in too long and I wish to be challenged with it again. I fear I am growing lazy and just kind of oozing my poetry all over the place because I haven't been putting it in forms... Also, it sounded interesting and fun and new.

    Interesting subject and humorous, for a sonnet form, I must say I was amused.
    Good luck in the Challenge.

    Oooh, Tally Youngblood! Yay that makes me happy that you mentioned her. I'm currently reading 'Extras'. Although I'm quite disappointed in Tally's new, er, personality.

    Anyhoo, back to the poem: Great poem, very well done! Ahh Tally.... xD

      Aww, yays. A friend of mine got me hooked on that series— well, when I say he got me hooked, I mean he dumped book one on my desk and told me to read it. -shrug- Lol. And yes, she freaks me out a bit now. O.o Understandable, though. Poor thing.
      Thank you!!

    That is pretty random, and quite funny! I enjoyed reading it, though the spelling of "skellington" instead of "skeleton" pulled the pedantic side of my brain into action... Good write though, since the only thing I can pick at is the grammar!

      If I hear you correctly and you are confused about the Skellington part, his name is actually Jack Skellington, not Skeleton. If there were any grammatical errors, I apologise; I am not Shakespeare and therefore can't quite twist everything around into iambic pentameter without cocking up some things.
      Thank you, though.

    I couldn't wait to read this, for the title made me giggle. I didn't stop when I got into the page to read it. This piece was beautifully humorous, and was a wonderful break from serious. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.

      Heeheehee. I was lamenting having so many fanfic ideas in one of my A/Ns and it formed the first line; I looked at it and thought "Huh. That looks like iambic pentameter." So I just sorta ran with it.
      This is actually the first humorous poem I've written... O.o
      Thank you!!

      Well, fortunately I am completely insane, and a friend of mine keeps throwing chibis at me. Rofl. Thank you!
