That was the problem. The whole story was just *this side* of plausible...but then it wasn't. And I had to read the whole thing, and shrift laughed at me.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Hagrid sounds, if anything, kind of Norse-ish. Definitely not Greek or Latin.

Definitely. I'm flashing on someone but I don't have my books with me.

Mmmmm. You know what's good? Feedback. So good.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Mmmmm. You know what's good? Feedback. So good.
Oh, yeah. What's better? Feedback from someone you specifically wondered what they thought of it...

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

Thanks for all the fish.
You know what else is bad? Feedback that is badly spelled. Makes it hard to take the praise.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So today I finally had time to work on the story again. But I'm concerned that it's structurally flawed. Not porny enough. But I'll try to finish the draft before I give up on writing slash.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Burrell, there's a whole world of not-quite-porn, and then other realms of violence, evil and other plot topics. Call upon me if you need beta, or, you know, are feeling like you need to give out sneak peeks.

Thanks Nutty. I'll definitely need a beta at some point.
I like the flirting and I like trying to write the characters. It's the silly action sequences that aren't my cuppa tea. But kinda silly to write X-Men without them.
