My God. That's amazing. Finally, a worthy successor to Ovid.
Huh. I never thought sarcasm would hurt that much.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

I mean, I'm guessing what she said means that there was no pleasure in sex till the god/goddess action, but I read it twice and am still not sure. Not that we all don't, on occasion, write sentences that start out that way(I got a huh or two about an original, last week) But I'm not out there going "Hey, internet!"(It's that Nikita chick, huh? With the Ares and Aphrodite?)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So....is this an AU where Nikita and Michael are gods. Or is this some long convulated way of explaining why they should be making hot monkey sex?
No, I think they're reincarnations or something. I haven't had the heart to read back and figure out how. Or, in the name of every god everywhere, why.
Didn't you quote another story that invoked the Greek gods?
This is from the latest chapter of that one.

Yeah, apparently the Greeks and everyone who came before them...didn't come before then.

Thrive to spite them
I thought the style of that passage and the other one you quoted sounded similiar. Not just because of the greek gods, but the rambling incoherence.

Which makes you wonder how they successfully reproduced....

Mea culpa...that was so convoluted, I never thought of it being ethnocentric as well.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Especially since I still haven't gotten back to Deena on her edits to some of my stuff...
This is funny, LJ. I didn't remember that I hadn't heard back from you until I read your post asking Erika. As long as you got it, I'm happy.

Dana, I've marked that post. If I ever find myself so in awe of someone else's writing that I feel I'm useless and must never write again, I'll go back to it and remember that actually, however bad I am, I will not be quite that bizarre.
At least, while I steer clear of the hot mythological orgasm invention fic.

Am, I answered your questions. Sorry I could only answer from my limited personal experience.And, wrod, babe.Hey, all of you Gunn-philes...I'm getting ready to toss him into Kay's portion(I sent him on a South Central demon emergency or something) I found tons of essays about writing for Lindsey, which I was glad about, but I didn't find Gunn ones. What are things I need to keep in mind? Cause I like him,but we don't have a Munchkin Mind Meld.

Thanks, erika-- I'm getting some quite useful answers, yours among them.
By the way, if anyone here is willing to answer some questions about fanfic and let me use those answers in a mock radio documentary, I'd be very grateful. Post here (I'll try and keep up for a couple of days) or e-mail me, profile addy good.
