I may make the suggestion to certain people. Heh.

I love Batman. I adore his dysfunctional ass. And I think he's the most difficult character I've ever tackled.

You know how writing is sometimes like pulling teeth? This is like attempting to perform self-orthodontia in the pitch black of night with fingers numb from the cold.

And I'm trying to write Batman/Flash for her, and Batman is driving me insane.

No one should be that self-aware. Grrr.

I can see where this would be frustrating. Does it have to be from his PoV?

This one kind of does, unfortunately. Next time I try this, we're gonna be in Flash's head, damn it.

You're slashing Flash and Batman? It oughta be Superman. That's almost canon.

Oh, I'd like to write that, too.

Actually, I just want to sit back and have people write it for me so I don't have to painfully suffer through the process of writing Batman in first person.

I have a Bunny.

I'm not allowed the DVDs for at least ten days.

However, I just said in a comment to Mer in my LJ that Norrington is much what Wes would have been if Wes had had a stable home life. Then I suggested that Norrington would have made a good Watcher.

Then I saw Norrington being called back to England on business, only the business is to go into the family career with the Council for some reason.

If someone writes it for me for Christmas, I'll be happy as a clam.

Cesperanza has produced another beautiful dS story:

As always, her work is a joy: intelligence, compassion, a sense that she really knows these characters bone-deep.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'll put in an enthusiastic second. Although, first time readers should be warned that it isn't one of Speranza's funny stories, this one is about sadness and passion.

Thanks for all the fish.

I've just barely started the story and I already approve (duh, like I wouldn't approve of a Speranza story) since she's used fazed instead of phased.

Yo! Anyone up for discussing recs, reccing, the difficulty of relying on archives because of fandom politics, etc?

Cause, I sure as shit am.

Why? Because I have shit that's due tomorrow, and I'm feeling like a procrastinating beeyotch.
