Let me just say thank god for the inter-bunny, because I can whip through research questions in seconds when they pop up as I'm writing. "When did so-and-so die, anyway?" or "Oh, gosh, when was that invented, I don't think I can use this here."

I'm one of those who can't just let things sit while I finish a section, then go back and fix it. It's like a rock in my mental shoe, getting more and more distracting until I sit down and deal with the damned thing.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Sometimes I wonder if I invest too much effort in fic.

Oh, I know this feeling all too well. I've caught a plot bunny re. WWII, but I'd have to do a fair amount of research to make it work. The basic idea I'm using is one that I could easily turn into a work of original fiction, but I really, really want to play in this particular fictional universe. Grr.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Let us reflect upon the fact that amych only got involved in fencing (thus meeting her DH) in order to research a piece of Lex/Wesley porn.

Up with the sun

I can totally see why fangirls would overuse "My Immortal" and "Closer." The only vids I have ever wanted to make are to Smithereens songs -- "Behind the Wall of Sleep" for Lilah and every man she was ever in a scene with, and "In a Lonely Place" for Cole/Phoebe. It's inexplicable to me, because I don't even like the Smithereens that much and I'm not generally shippy, but there you go.

The only vid I've been tempted to make is an OT4 SG1 vid to Sting's "If I Ever Lose My Faith."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Vids I'd make if I could make vids:

  • Smack My Bitch Up -- general female asskickery
  • Outside -- Spike/Buffy
  • It's Probably Me -- general best friendness

If I could vid I'd do a later AtS seasons Wesley one to Melissa Etheridge's "Into the Dark."

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

You've been beaten to "It's Probably Me", ita. There's a great L.A. Confidential vid to it. Boys beating each other up. Boys being reluctant partners. Boys learning to respect each other. Boys having hot sex offscreen.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Any chance you have a link, Dana?

Um, is it online, is it online...

Let me check.
