[+] So, when Phillip Phillips (TLDR; dumbest name ever, poor guy) won AI last year, I liked him okay, and I had downloaded some of his performances. I thought "Home" was easily the best single AI ever concocted for their winner; it wasn't overwrought like every single one before it, and it fit him quite well. But his new song, "Gone, Gone, Gone,"

I don't know anything about tumblr...is it anything like LJ? Maybe I should get an account there too, but I barely have time for LJ.

I still love, love, love TVD!!! That's not to say I love every story line they have (sire bond), but I think the things I don't like are necessary to allow D/E to move ahead to a satisfying conclusion. I can't help thinking that the horrible way Elena is behaving to Damon now will require her to work hard to earn a relationship with him once her humanity is switched back on. I think he has earned the right for her to REALLY have to pursue him after all he has had to put up with from her over the years. It just breaks my heart to see how insecure he is about her right now.

Please tell me something about this fic:
I'm Gonna Burn For You, You're Gonna Melt For Me

And finally, I'm sorry I didn't comment in a timely manner about your "Human Damon" story being shelved. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. It sounded to me like it would be good, but if the idea doesn't speak to you, I'm sure it would be impossible to write. A creative process can't be forced. I only hope you have another idea you like better because selfishly, I'd like to read a new TVD D/E story from you. Until then, I'll be over here in the corner re-reading what you've already written.

I feel like I'm learning that tumblr is in fact NOT like LJ and is more difficult to have conversations and exchanges on, and I'm really not looking for that, so now I think I'm definitely not going over there. I'll just stay here, in the 20th Century with my LJ. *clings*

I sort of have a thing about Damon and Elena NOT *earning* anything between them--I don't think love is earned, but I won't get into all the blah blah blah of that. What I will say is that I hope the outcome of this whole thing is them both being on more equal ground as far as how deeply they each feel about the other. We know the depths of Damon's love for Elena; I would be very happy if at some point, we got to see and explore the depths of Elena's love for Damon, and if this is part of what gets us there, I'm all for it.

Oh, and thanks for your kind words about the human!Damon story. Who knows what will happen, or what inspiration will come, but I'm sure there will be more fic. No worries :D

As for the fic you asked about--oh, wow. That is so old now, more than two years have gone by since I wrote it. At that point I was pretty confident in my Damon voice (and I love that story because I think he sounds JUST RIGHT), but I was less confident about Elena, and I just hoped that where I wanted her to go would feel right to other people. So I made her more honest much sooner than we would see on the show, obviously. And it worked, I guess, because I got a lot of response. I would also say (though this might not be that surprising) the sex scene in Damon's car is probably one of my all-time favorites of any that I've ever written (any fic, any fandom) because I love how human Damon is through the whole thing. That was the beginning of my Damon-comes-early-fetish.
