Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my assâ€”which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

So...what kind of theoretically positive comment makes you feel not positive? I did my due "llama badge thanking" diligence on dA this morning (dA weird, I don't know what llama badges are for), and the person started messaging me. Which is fine. But one of the messages said that they were aroused (I may be fudging the word, but it was a boner word (he's a he (why am I calling him they then???))) by my art.

I...I don't want to know about your responses of any genitalia to my work, llama-badge-giving-person. I know what the putative effect can be, but I don't want to be part of that conversation with strangers.

It just...I'd rather he hadn't told me. It's not like a tag on a reblog, or anything. It wasn't even attached to a picture.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'd say "Really sexy!" is good. "I just totally rubbed one out to this." much less good from a stranger.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I got all excited, there's a Night Vale fusion fic for the DCBB, but man, it's over 100,000 words long. I'm also disappointed that the art contains the fanon of the third eye on a specific character.

Cecil? Is it a spoiler to say he doesn't have three eyes?

You know canon is weird when...

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Canonically, I would say it's not a spoiler, but I can't say for sure regarding the fic.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

So that NV/SPN crossover is actually only 10,000 words, so I decided to give it a try.

So. Much. Navel-gazing. Lots of vagueness. I think I skimmed a quarter of the way through before the characters started interacting with other and using actual dialogue instead of just musing on possibilities and feelings and desires.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

An older, heavily tattooed, broad shouldered, goateed, blonde man, dressed in typical biker gear sat with a younger, lesser-tattooed man that had a bandana tied over his hair with a number of bottles in front of them.

This particular fic is written almost entirely in this manner. IDEK. It's succinct? Cuz, y'know, that could have been a much larger paragraph . . .

Did "succinct" change meaning on me?

I meant that in the way that if the writer wanted to express all of those details, but in not such a weird way, it would have been wordier, with more sentences, and therefore less "succinct". The air quotes were there in spirit the first time around.

I think the author should consider the value of those details. I'm sleepier already.
