Goodness!

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.

You could! I believe in you! We'll just take everything we like and turf it, replacing it with shite we want to laugh at. All your descriptions must be ott and florid and things, and... yes.

I had a whole subtext in which Artemis tries to survive as a tutor at a university and ends up killing some of her students rather than having to read their essays. Can we keep that? I was personally attached to it ...

[themadpoker.livejournal.com]

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

[themadpoker.livejournal.com]

=O I would never! I imitate her only in admiration.

[deensey.livejournal.com]

Yes. Of course you can. You should put it all in italics!

[deensey.livejournal.com]

Excellent! This is allowed! :D

hasn't bothered michael jacson TOO much. the falling nose, not the crack.

[calanthe-fics.livejournal.com]

So now I know which fest fic will be yours.

:D

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

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 ..."

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

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

[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?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I think I may even say cock the way this one is panning out. But no guarantees.

[calanthe-fics.livejournal.com]

I'll be checking, you know.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I know!

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

Ha! I think you should write some sex too! :D

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

Maybe if we imposed some kind of system where Brammers could only interact with a real cock once she'd mentioned one twice in her fic ...?

[calanthe-fics.livejournal.com]

Alas, I am unable to travel to Oz to enforce such an embargo on cockage.

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

It would be an arrangement based on honour and integrity, of course. Or we could make her cats our allies.

Oh! You definitely should. Exactly because it ends so sadly---y'know, give the boys something good before ripping their hearts out.

Plus, you should sooo write sex. It's time. *nods*

[jadzialove.livejournal.com]

Er, that was me.

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

[drgaellon]

that old abandoned novel about the Greek Gods hanging out in 1980s London

OMG, you were writing Xanadu. (The movie, not the poem.)

[drgaellon]

I think Mr. Brammers might object.

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

True - so it's probably him we should ally ourselves with to get her to write porn then! Under these conditions he could get her to write "cock" any number of times, I'm sure. ;)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

My cats are loyal to me! And they approve of us having sex, they find it hilarious to watch. (You have no idea how disconcerting that is)
