And of course, "A Year On The Killing Streets" which I cannot pimp highly enough. Best. Crime. Book. Evah(independent of my initial desire to match the detectives to their characters) Simon's quite the stylist.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

In other news... Sir Ian on Slash (and other things)
TW: What's the weirdest fan reaction you've had?
IM: Some of them were angry that a gay man was playing Gandalf. They called it Gandalf the Gay and were opposed to my casting. They're ignoramuses who don’t know about acting. I sometimes look at slash material on the internet, same-gender sex stories usually written by young women. They write about Legolas and Aragorn getting it on.
TW: Do you read Gandalf slash?
IM: Well, I'm quite a fan of pornography. I think it's a very good idea. I think it stops people from going out and hurting each other.

'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"
It sounds so twinkly and grandfatherly coming from IM, doesn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He kinda, but not almost, took all the porn out of it.
I love him.

Somebody who is reading my fic in lj is expecting a happy ending for her favorite ship(which I like too, or I wouldn't write in it) but, strictly speaking, I'm not seeing it, at least in a "They get together" sense. Not this time...shippiness just means an acknowledgement of the other as a sexually attractive being, yes? UST counts, right? My other thought "This is what it feels like to be Plei." Although she is still mistress of darkfic. This one isn't dark or light...sort of ambiguous. Whatever ending happens, they're gonna have to sweat this time. Of course, it feels different than "Band Candy". Damn.

I'll have you know, I'm working on TWO happy endings right now, missy.

So, maybe I'm going darker to keep fandom on its axis?

I have always sprinkled fluff in the darkness, and really, am not sure where this "dark" rep comes from. *g*
But I hear it often.

Considering how "Sunrise" is going, I'm intrigued....
