For those writers on lj, a new community where you can ask those nagging questions of what's possible and what can I get away with. Looks like it could be very useful.

I'm sorry to say, I'm not imagining plausible, more deeply ironic. Historical RPS set in Pompey, for example.
Replace 'Historical RPS' with 'Highlander', and Bob's your uncle! (Oh dear. Now the Methos in my head is laughing uproariously.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This is when the fun began, for it was not only a commingling of two souls, it was a desire so primitive and wild, so expectantly primal that it could not help but be entertaining and pleasurable to both. He positioned each one of her limbs carefully where he wanted them, not once instructing the woman who would have preferred to die rather than to break the spell she was under.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

If I only had a brain...
Arrrgh. I don't know why, but I'm involved in an argument with somebody who says slash = bad K/S. I said I don't read K/S, but I damn well do know good A/S. (Kirk/Spock, Angel/Spike).
What's the one A/S story you'd rec to somebody to say "not romantic, well-written, convincing"? I'm leaning toward Te, Kita, or Lar, but I can't make up my mind.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm crazy about Kita's Binding Angel/Binding Spike, but they're really dark and also kinky, so maybe not the best proof of slashy *good*ness.

I'm confused, Betsy. This person thinks that all slash is Kirk/Spock?
Cause, dood. Come out of the 60s.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, Suela, I can't tell you where to start on this discussion. It was the kind of incoherent yammering of the peanut gallery that one might hope to avoid, or anyway, upon which one might hope to impose a dictionary and the convention of raising one's hand when it is one's turn.
