You say that, then you'll write something and get positive feedback and want more feedback so you'll write more. It's a cycle.

Okay, it's written. Two hours of madness have come to this. Who wants to laugh and laugh at me and feel quietly superior? I throw myself on your mercy.

I'm not that familiar with Atlantis, but I'd love to read it.

askye, I mailed it to you. That's what you get for being nice. Seriously, laugh at me. Hard. It's the only way I'll learn.
And now I'm going to bed, because maybe sleep will ward off the insanity.

I will completely read Atlantis, if you want to send it. Although I probably won't have time until Tuesday...and I have no idea when the current flashfic challenge ends.

Hey. New board.
Quiz: What's everybody's most shameful OTP? What pairing do you love to read and feel bad about loving to read it? Any fandom.
Mine is Rory/Paris from The Gilmore Girls. I feel bad about even watching the show most of the time, so reading the fic makes me feel even worse. And yet I do it. Regularly.

It's the sort of thing that led me to be the unrepetent slasher that I am today. Hell, even the phrase "slasher movie" now has a whole different connotation to me.
Yes, Virginia, once upon a time I said, "Slash? Guys together? That's--but why?"
It's like portions of my mind were replaced by aliens.

I remember the first slash story I read -- I think it was Ducan and Richie or maybe Ducan and Methos (more likely that) and I just didn't get it. Couldn't see the sexy.
Then I read another and I got it (I think it was a better story).
I'm not very OTP. In fact the only OTP I have is the one that's most shameful -- Sayid/Shannon. Yes. I know.
The most unlikely Due South pairing I like is Vecchio/Turnbull -- I think I've read all the good stories (and there aren't more), I can't tell you why but I like the pairing. And Kowalski/Turnbull. But not really Fraser/Turnbull -- doesn't ping for me. But I lke almost every other pairing.
With BtVs, I really enjoy reading Spike/Xander, but at the same time I don't really believe they'd hook up -- Xander has too many vamp issues.
But I'm open to almost any other pairing.
The other night I was wondering if anyone had ever written a Gilmore Girls Luke/Rory. But someone, somewhere probably has -- I'm sure every pairing has been written. But I was kind of wanting a twisted, wrong story from someone who writes well. Just out of curosity.

Hey. New board.
Dude, Rory/Luke almost writes itself. It's a bit squicky, but not too bad for me. The hard part would be writing Lorelai's reactions.
Hell, Rory/Lorelai almost writes itself, and you KNOW it's out there. That disturbs me.
