I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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

Fair 'nough.

When your typing fingers start to go, "JC needed something. He didn't know what it was--it wasn't like needs came with contracts and itemized lists of demands for their dressing rooms--but he had a feeling it was something only Justin could give him.", we'll sit on you.

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

What's scary is that I *keep* reading only the second half of that word and thinking, "Sesame Street slash? Huh. Well, I guess that could work...."

It's probably the MotherFuckingAU that Sheila Perez and gang have been hammering at for... good lord, a really long time now.

Neat. Where can I find it, do you know?

I think you can depend on my intervention being a little more violent.

I'm not exactly sure it's publicly available at the moment. I'd have to check with Sheila to see if she still had parts up at a super-sekrit location on her website, or not.

Please, you know I depend on that. But no fair using your imminent dive into boyband slash as a trick to get me to Houston.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

The MotherFucking AU.

(Posted because I've asked Sheila about recommending it before, and she said it was fine to publicize. Just, you know, incomplete.)

Thrive to spite them

Oh! I read this! I found it off a rec page but I can't remember whose.

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

I don't get the appeal of RPS

Ah, yes - I remember those heady days of occupying the moral highground. And then Calico broke me.

Heh. I've read some puppyslash, but I (thankfully) haven't the time or the desire to really get into it. (And the closest I'll get to writing it? See above.)

Fay, honey, insent.

I don't care about moral highground, dear Fay. I'm just grumpy because they're writing what I don't want to read, is all. I imagine I feel like all those people whose authors have abandoned their favorite fandom for Smallville, and the like.

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

Sorry - that totally wasn't meant to sound like a jibe at you/anyone else; it's just that I do think the non-RPF folks have the moral highground. Which makes it difficult for me to reconcile my continued feeling that it's an unneccesary and essentially discourteous form of erotica with the unpalatable truth that I really enjoyed Calico's LotR RPF, and a couple of others too.

I am ruefully amused at my own hypocricy & pine for the days when I was all stout-hearted and believed my own press. Sigh. (But I didn't mean to start the pro/con debate all over again, for it is tired like a tired thing.)

In other news - saw the slashiest episode of Voyager I've happened across so far this evening. Harry/Tom - their love really is a beautiful thing, and the HoYay really was wall to wall. Bless. Enterprise could definitely sell me on Trip/Malcolm with no effort at all. And as I'm re-reading The Princess Bride for the first time in about twelve years I find myself craving Humperdink/Count Rugen. Or possibly Fezzik/Inigo.
