Well that was a heck of a blogging break. I have to admit, it was a little like Gilligan's Island---it started as a three-hour tour...
But thanks for indulging me, gang. I suppose I just needed the brain-break. Tonight, I wrote up my two-month blogging plan. I have to get back into shape because next month is Snake Plissken Month.
Can't miss Plissken month. It's time to announce the Sci-Fi pinups of February---and just in the nick of time, since there are only a few hours left in February. Choosing this month's leading pair was tougher than I expected. With so many sexy hunks and gorgeous hotties to interview, this was no quick and easy decision. I've been swimming in hunks and hotties, working my way to the top of the list.
It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. 
We're back for another Predator mash-up! This is the series where I take a famous book or movie and I twist the tale by adding Predator. At the same time, my writing buddy, Angela Wallace, chooses a famous tale and mashes it up by adding My Little Pony.
Since February is the month of love, we've taken two love stories (uh, kinda) and twisted them. My selection for you is the international sensation/fan-fiction gone wrong FIFTY SHADES OF GREY. Angela's taken the classier route and riffed Shakespeare's classic story, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Did we make them better or worse? I don't know, but they're definitely funnier. And on my scoreboard that means we won. I'll include a link to Angela's story at the end of this post, so you don't have to hop back and forth between the two sites.
Okay, let's get on with it! Here's Fifty Shades of Predator! 
Last week we started a new Mad Mashup, which is our own version of a "Mad Lib" style game---except our name is better because I don't go to jail! I choose a book to "mash up" and remove a few of the words. Without having any insight into the text, you provide a random set of words. I put the words into the text. Hilarity ensues.
