Nutty, I know what you mean about getting wonky about people. One of the fic friends I've stayed in touch with is here locally and while I think she's a marvelous writer I have to be careful not to talk about RPF with her because she does it and I don't and I don't want to argue about it...
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I felt sort of guilty, the first time I took someone off my LJ friends list. (It's a whole thing, with the interpersonal politics, and the thing.) But that someone was getting into the real people fic phenomenon right there on my friends page and I couldn't bear to be around it. I haven't corresponded with her for a while now, because LJ was the one way in which we used to still intersect.

This is all well and good, and (especially as I, too, have been affected by the This is Not My Beautiful Cake syndrome) I do sympathize.
I just want to make it clear that, since there are Buffistas here whom I know and respect writing RPF, I sometimes lament that they're writing stuff That Is Not My Beautiful Cake, I would never want to come off as an abusive psycho to any of them.

Now I'm tempted to write a Sports Night story based entirely on Casey's cake obsession. Bother.

See? Good can come of all of this.
And, to make it clear, 99% of RPS peeps are likely to be squicked by my RPS of choice.
Mmm... Henry...

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

Combine it with Betsy's post, and make it songfic.

Danny could jump out of a cake...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Danny could jump out of a cake...

It may have to wait. There are two other Sports Night stories in progress at the moment.
But I want Dannyfic.
Oh, please. Like Casey could have a conversation about cake with someone other than Danny, and NOT be committed to a mental institution?

Shrift, speaking of fic (sort of), I got a note from Max. Tomorrow's her birthday and she may be crashing with us on Saturday night. If she can get away.
So, yay.
Also, no press conference: postponed indefinitely, according to Red. Haven't a clue why.
