My trip to Florence is becoming more exciting by the day! And I will leave that cryptic note for the moment until more things are finalised.

I briefly contemplated becoming Stephenie Meyer's nemesis, but then, as I said to someone recently, I think she is more the Bay City Rollers of publishing than the U2 of same. And for everyone saying "Bay City Who?" well, exactly, time will take care of her. So I will use my time more purposefully.

Is it appalling of me that living more purposefully has turned out to mean writing Remus/Sirius darkfic? Still, at least two stories will be posted this month, one H/D and one AS/S, so for the people who are only here for the fic, there is light on the horizon.

Managed to post one of four fandom related packages today. It could well have been two, or even three, if I hadn't managed to lock myself out of the house for an hour. Oops.

i happen to enjoy the bay city rollers thank you very much. their tunes are catchy. how dare you insult them with this comparison. ;)

I bet you have tartan pyjamas, too! If it cheers you up, the comparison is regarding the permanence of their fame, not the level of their talent.

like i've said before they were a gift and very comfortable!

and you have a very good point. all of the rollers were trained and talented musicians, but why they became famous is beyond me. i would think that you could also compare SM to britney spears. britney was musically trained as a child, SM went to college and got a degree in english. they both have the background, but are just barely mediocre in what they create. yet the fame is blinding. i just wish someone would explain to me like i'm 5 years old how and WHY this happens.

It's because some literary and music publishers are utterly amoral and will pimp crap to idiots in order to make money. They pretend that this is less appalling than selling crack, but it's not.

No no, it's the right direction, never doubt that!

(And yaaaay! :D)

I am so loving thinking about them. It's very wrong. YAAAAAAAAAY indeed!

I love Remus/Sirius, and I can't wait to see what you come up with for them! Really looking forward to the darkfest; I hope to challenge myself to write something really disgusting, but you never know.

I love them, too. I have been working on a very long Remus-centric story in the back of my head for months, but I think this one will be Sirius-centred and I already know the end and it is terribly sad. I think I should also write some sex, Cal will never guess it's me!

But, you know, without the artistic integrity.

The BCR had artistic integrity?

They wrote their own songs and played their own instruments, in pop music terms, that's oodles of cred. Still haven't brought the shelves inside, BTW.

=( But if you were Meyer's nemesis I could have volunteered for sidekickhood! And by volunteer I mean pull a Robin 4 and keep showing up till I gain the status by default. =D

That would almost be worth it to plot her downfall with you, but I don't think we ought to wear our undies on the outside for anyone.

I agree. But we could totally do the nemesis thing in normal clothes. Better for disguise/blending in purposes anyways.

You are a very cunning co-conspirator! If ever I seek to take her down, I will call you!

Nah, you will read it and say "Hmmm, it's R/S, but there are no jokes and people keep having bleak sex. Can't be ..."

From: [identity profile] calanthe-fics.livejournal.com
By 'bleak sex' I'm guessing you mean lacking description and focusing on the grimness and fatal flaws of their emotions.

So it's just another excuse not to say 'cock' then, right?

Am I hopelessly dating myself by happily singing, "S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!"?

Nah, I was singing B-A-Y, B-A-Y, B-A-Y-C-I-T-Y, with an R-O double L-E-R-S, Bay City Rollers are the best

Which is not just old, it's sad.
