Thrive to spite them

Speaking of Murder She Wrote, there's an episode where some guy is trying to enlist Jessica Fletcher's help because someone else "stole my idea!" , not the book, just the idea. He wants Jessica to help him sue or something (I'm fuzzy on the details), So he describes the story to her and she recognizes it and says "but that's Brothers Karamazov!". He said but it was his original idea to modernize it!

... I've been rewatching Murder She Wrote, it's pretty good thing to crochet by, you don't need to pay too close attention, but it's still holds my interest.

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

People are so weird. A guy who was coming across pretty prudish (didn't like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen because it had weird sex in it) just suggested I check out dtiberius fanart porn. Because it's romantic.

So far it's all chicks with dicks (I have no idea how the characters identify their genders--this is just a description of their physicality) deep throating each other. I wouldn't be all "Aroo?!!" if he hadn't specifically said romantic. Hot, if that's your thing, I get, but it's so far just blowjobs.

I'm looking at Wonder Woman buttfuck...Star Sapphire, maybe...who's blowing Hawkgirl, and I feel like I've been punked.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

That's romantic? I think you've been trolled, ita.

I say, return fire with cafe de labeill and romantisize the hell out of him.

It's not like he's new, or anything--we've talked before, quite a lot. And it's not like I'm a good target (even on IO9) for grossing out with porn--I did start the conversation, after all.

*So* weird. I have no idea how to respond.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I think Swift settled things in Battle of the Books with his spider and bee allegory. [link] He was talking about basing derivative works on writings of the "ancients," not Merlin or The Avengers. But fanfic based on Aristophanes is still fanfic.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

*So* weird. I have no idea how to respond.

The same way any good one-upper does: graphic Wincest dubcon fanart links.

Nah, I went with Matt's suggestion. I went with this. From home, I might give him something unromantic, perhaps with tentacles. Wincest tentacles...

Just make sure you say it's the single most romantic thing you have ever seen.

Bwah ha ha! I'm half surprised kittens wearing bows didn't spill out of my monitor when I clicked the link!
