It was entirely gratuitous. But I rarely have a problem with that.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but it might have benefitted from about 25% less porn (and my tolerance is pretty high for such things). I did crack up that several characters' personalities shone through so well given the unusual circumstances.

If I only had a brain...

Huh. There is such a thing as too much porn. Who knew?

I'm thinking the amount of porn would have been easier to take if there were an edge to it - for instance, if the process weren't magically eradicating the cumulative medical effects of that much... activity, or if some dangerous situation were to occur requiring more focus than people could muster. As it is, there's only the promise of a highly embarrassing communal case of the morning after oh noes.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I'm so glad I didn't sign up for Yuletide. But I'm glad y'all did, so I have fun things to read!
What. Suela. Said.
(Planning on spending 2 weeks reading fic over Christmas. With brief pauses to eat turkey and talk to family members. Maybe.)

I suspect you're right, Matt. I kept expecting things to go wrong, and instead they just kept going. And then the last bit at the end turned it into farce.
Still, Shalott: so well done, for what it is.

Gah. I'm going to be offline for about a week at Christmas, since my folks don't have wireless. I might be able to check in once in a while, but there will be no ficreading. Sigh.
Hmm. Maybe I can load up my laptop with lots of stuff to read before I go. But really I should take the opportunity to write instead...

I only have one scene left to write on my Yuletide story, and I'm no longer freaking out. Well, not until I have to come up with a title and summary, any road.
