I guess, the idea of love and the other side of the rabbit hole both being magical, wonderful/scary places/states.
Ah. I hadn't exactly thought of it that way. I think my mind was too busy violently rejecting the image...
And, on edit, I hasten to add that the phrase was wildly inappropriate for the character in question, but I'm now tempted to appropriate the phrase and give it a place of honor in a story, because I'm evil like that.
Oh, I like that idea a lot. It's not evil, you're just... catching it and returning it to its rightful place, far from the garbage-fic of civilization. Or something like that.
Does anyone know what happened with the Zombie fic challenge? I read shrift's ZombieJayne piece, which led me to the challenge home page, but nothing else has ever been put up there.
I have to ask. Can anyone think of any reason why someone would write the phrase "tumbling down the rabbit hole of love" when writing smut? And write it earnestly, thinking it was sexy?
Was it written by The Tick?
Oh, goddamn. Tep, I challenge you to write me first person Tick smut.
::snerk:: HELL no! The Tick is totally sexless.
Tick/Arthur would be great. You wouldn't have to do smutty stuff you could just do Tick realizing he's in love with Arthur and fallen down the rabbit hole of love.
According to Ben Edlund, The Tick doesn't have genitals. This doesn't absolutely preclude the possibility of romantic liaisons, as anybody who has read
The Persian Boy
can assure you. Just a bit more of an obstacle to overcome....
Didn't The Tick flirt with Arthur's sister in the comics?
