You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Here are the ToS LJ bits.

I can't stop tearing through them.

I'm beginning to understand this now. It's all about the journey, isn't it?

Thanks, Fay, for explaining the Draco thing. Goodness knows I understand pairing the hero with the villain (SpikenBuffy4evah!), but my favorite villains have to show a little more ambiguity than I've seen from Draco thus far - though since I don't actually read HP fic, it's all really a moot point.

Nicked from someone's LJ: Joy to the World. Short season 4 Christmas story. Very funny.

Holy mother of--Shrift, that new one? Is fucking great. Day-am.

Wrod. Just loved Phallus in Pigtails. I avoid SB fic as a rule, even though I'm a Grade-A MR whore. Something about the certainty that I would hate-hate-hate that flick if I saw it.

But PiP? Purrrrrrr.... Now that I've gotten the one real-life holiday gift I wanted, the only other thing I want right now is to reach up under Adam's Catholic schoolgirl skirt. Happy Holidays to me! :)

Thanks for writing that, Shrift.

I'm a pathetic MR fangirl, so I had to see the movie.

(Let's just say I also have a Really Big Thing for genderfuck, and leave it at that.)

Problem is, while I was watching the movie, I wanted to hunt down the guys who wrote the movie and beat them unconscious with a large dildo.

I don't find sexual assault and verbal abuse to be all that jokey.

I guess that's what fan fiction is for -- I was either going to write a story where I addressed some things my brain was screaming about while the inner horndog was busy with Michael Rosenbaum's cute posterior in red satin panties, or I was going to land myself in jail by battering Joe Jarvis and Greg Coolidge with a large fake penis.

So I went with the Catholic schoolgirl reject.

Thanks for writing that, Shrift.

Thank you kindly, and my pleasure. I mean, I'm doubtful that there'd be high-speed Internet access in prison.

Also. Okay.

I'm reading some puppyslash, idly, because I found the writer's lj and I'm procrastinating bored; and out of a sick fascination that-- well, that anyone would write RPF, but also that anyone would ever find these people interesting enough to write about. I mean, fucking boy bands, what is underneath the surface?

I'm a virulent, intolerant bitch. I know that.

But that's not why I came here. I wanted to ask.... My irony meter has been blown all to hell, all right? I can't detect sarcasm unless it's is printed in An Ironic Font, I've been reading too many shitty fiction pieces for my day job.

So.

Is this irony?

It really is, isn't it? It's a joke? It's meta-bad-fic? Right?

Wrod to the wrod power. I have a hard time watching date rape played for the joke factor. And verbal humiliation played for comedy doesn't usually do it for me, either. Of course, I'm just guessing what goes on in SB, based on what I've read in people's comments and what I gleaned from PiP.

Good work! I really liked how you touched on Adam's/Adina's trauma response in a subtle-but-serious way, and how that gets worked in while Adam figures out how to become comfortable with who he is. Also, avoiding a life of crime with the dildo. ;)

And, of course, The Sexy.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

It's meta-bad-fic?

It's terrible. I have to admit I didn't get all the way through it- I gave up at "his hard maleness". I need to scrub my brain out! And the worst part is, I strongly suspect that RL's ironyometer isn't broken, and the writer is actually serious about it. Ugh!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Note to self: Jesus would not want me to read puppyslash. EVER.

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

fucking boy bands, what is underneath the surface?

People.
