Another impressive Yuletide entry

[omorka]

This appears to be this year's Yuletide darling, but with good reason:

Texts From Cephalopods (1547 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Octopus Steals My Video Camera and Swims off with It While It's Recording (Youtube)
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Octopus/Squid
Characters: An Octopus, Squid
Summary:

It is a well-established fact in marine biology that the octopus is the drunk texter of the cephalopod family.

It is exactly what it says, and as awesome as it sounds. I'd also argue that it's really original fic rather than fanfic in any meaningful sense, but it is loosely based on YouTube videos, so there you go.

I much prefer Experiments in Intelligence (http://archiveofourown.org/works/302101). Now THAT'S awesome!

Cephalopod fic has made my week!

I dunno, I kind of felt that one was something I could have written, and kind of clichéd for anyone who's ever read any SF dealing with alien cognition. Whereas this one? This was screamingly funny. Maybe I'm just more impressed by someone pulling off something I know I couldn't.
