The final set of names picked:

Cartagena, Yoshida, Walsh, Petersen, Olekseyovik, Rollins, Farrell, Munroe, O'Leary, McGuire, Camarillo, Desmarais, Shepherd, Fuller, Reid, Klein, Lowery, Patel, Sanchez.

All, some or none of these might actually make it to the final story, but... now I know who lives in the cul-de-sac with them, and sometimes you just need to know this kind of stuff, y'know?

(If you want to know what that looks like in my world...)

I'm still interested in hearing your ideas for what kinds of things you'd like to see in the Phylogeny universe. Tell me your thoughts. I've answered the existing comments too, in case you're interested in seeing what's already been talked about.

I'm also still taking Q & A questions for the characters in the Phylogeny universe, here in this post. And have posted a bunch of responses, for your edification and amusement. :)

I've also, after a very long while, set up an Instant Messaging client to receive messages under this identity, so feel free to add me if you wish and send me a message any time you see me online. I love chatting with new people! But do be warned - I'm bad about leaving myself "online" when I'm not actually sitting at the computer, like when I'm at work - so if you message me and I don't respond, it is NOT anything personal, I'm probably just not here right now; try me back at another time. On AIM and Yahoo Messenger, I am randomepiphany7 - on MSN/Windows Live Messenger, I can be reached at me@randomepiphany.com - which is also my email address, just by the way.

On a similar tangent - this is my fic journal, pretty much exclusively devoted to bandom fanfic. I also have a personal journal, where I post relatively infrequently about the stuff that goes on in my so-called Real Life. If you're interested in knowing the person behind the fic, drop me an email and I'll point you toward the other journal. (The problem with separating fanfic from real life is that I don't get to know many new people, which is kind of a shame, since some of you seem really awesome...)

In any event, if you found your way to this journal from a comm post or dotcoms_refresh, and would like to keep up on my work: everyone is ALWAYS free to friend this journal, and I do friend back when I remember to. :)

Finally, if you're the kind of person who likes to print out fanfic for later reading, or save it to your hard drive, or if you just prefer to do your reading in a plainer format than most journals' formatting, please make a note of my website at www.randomepiphany.com ... While the basic website design is similar to my journal, there's also an option for each story to display it as plain black text on a white background, perfect for printing or saving to a file, and I am usually pretty good about keeping the website updated with newly-posted stories, so you should always be able to find my stuff there (as well as on both Dreamwidth and Livejournal at randomepiphany).

Aaaaand that's about it. Thanks!

In case you missed it, I'm taking questions on behalf of the Phylogeny characters, here. If there's something you'd like to ask one of them, please, feel free. :)

Also, for those of you who don't make a point of reading comments, here's some interesting snippets you might have missed, as regards Adonis: clicky )

I've done this before in the past and it's been kind of fun, so I figured maybe give it a try now...

Got a question you'd like to ask any of the characters from Phylogeny? Ask away. I'll see what they have to say, and post the responses here.

Cheers.

"Perhaps we should have coordinated this ahead of time," Spencer says, bemused.

Sitting on the dining table, stuck into every drinking glass they own, are six dozen roses in varying colors, three mixed bouquets of flowers, and an insanely large bundle of daisies that wouldn't fit into anything less roomy than the mixing bowl. The coffee table is piled high with twelve heart-shaped boxes of chocolate, and the couch is laden with stuffed animals, gigantic teddy bears and puppy dogs and kitty cats and bunnies bearing big red satin bows and hearts labeled "I Love You" and "Be My Valentine", taking up every bit of available room.

"I think it's romantic," Brendon says, and, "I think it's ridiculous," says Ryan, grinning, and Jon doesn't say anything because he's laughing too hard, literally on the floor laughing, clutching at his stomach as if it hurts.

"Okay, new rule," Spencer says firmly. "From now on, no more Valentine's Day surprises, okay? We'll do it Secret Santa style, everyone pick a name from a hat so there's one gift each, not..." Looks at the dining table, shakes his head.

"I think it's romantic," repeats Brendon, reaching out to set a wreath of daisies atop Spencer's head.

"Where's mine?" Ryan asks Brendon, while Jon takes one look at Spencer and his daisy wreath and dissolves into hysterics all over again. Brendon obediently takes up another handful of daisies and begins to weave another wreath, and Spencer shakes his head again, daisies flopping hither and yon, and sighs.

It's not until later, when they're snuggled together on the couch, surrounded and pillowed by the masses of stuffed animals, each of them wearing a proper wreath of flowers, sipping expensive freshly-ground coffee and licking chocolate from each other's fingers as they sample the various boxes of candy and trade off tastes of things, that Spencer actually begins to get into the spirit of the thing. It's Valentine's Day, a day to celebrate romance, and it suddenly seems right and proper that there should be an explosion of flowers and chocolate and plush animal friends, to match the overwhelming amount of love that they share between the four of them.

"You were right, Bren," he says contentedly, settling back against Jon's chest, tugging Ryan's arm a little more firmly around himself, "this is romantic," and Brendon leans over to capture his mouth in a chocolate-flavored kiss.

"You've gonna love the red satin bedsheets," Brendon promises him, and Spencer's laughter is cut off by Jon's fingers popping another chocolate - mmm, orange cream - into his mouth.
