Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Thanks for all the fish.

Amused, appalled. What's the difference these days?

Cursed through his veins. That's fantastic.

In case any of us were wondering what the secret of our power was.

Dude. I'm giggling at my desk and trying not to shout stuff from He-Man and She-Ra cartoons.

Coke commercials should never be quoted in a sex scene.

I am now trying to think of ways to incorporate TV jingles into sex scenes. And really, I got as far as "plop plop, fizz fizz" and then I started shrieking in laughter again.

Oh, shrift... Remember the commercials for Nuprin? Little, yellow, different. Think of the possibilities.

Heeeeee. And it reminds me that I haven't written any crazy alien smut in, oh, about a month.

the blood that cursed through his veins

I was about to ask "am I the only one who's getting visuals of platelets swearing? "Damn, another bloody day swimming round this damned vein." " but apparently I'm not. Nutty, I'm with you there.

Dana, may I tag this?

(tries not to think of sex scene in which I could use "Maybe she's born with it./Maybe it's Maybelline.")

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sure, Am-Chau.

Anything with Captain Jack Sparrow.

I'm also trying to parse "These two had long invented horniness," into something that makes sense. They took a long time inventing horniness? They invented a horniness of greater than average length?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Nuh uh. Portnoy got there first, surely.(Although that thing with the liver, written from liver's POV? Badfic comedy gold, babe.)

Thanks, Dana.

Calli, that is worryingly right, and close to being a plot bunny. Dammit.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

Research help request: What's a kind of chichi drink that's just a little too girly for a grown woman, but not so much too girly that it's glaring?

It would help if it were brightly colored. Even pink.
