You're 'sposta talk about which fics you enjoy or what parts of the stuff wot I wrote you like or maybe how I did the thing with the.... ::toes ground shyly:: thing.

Thanks, guys.

Hi. Saw this and realised that although I was pretty sure I'd read your fic, I couldn't put my finger on exactly what you'd written (except for Cat!John, which unfortunately, leaves me cold as I'm one of the rare people who doesn't get the pet thing. Sorry ( ... )

::is bowled over:: Well, yes, I would say, boostage achieved! :D

I believe in this gentle, tender caring thing they have - while still having snark and being dorky and not really saying it very eloquently, but not needing to.

Yes. That. Thank you. Even if it includes stories where John is needy and about to shake himself apart and Rodney is the only one who gets that. I, too, am SO not into dub-con for a variety of reasons, but also having chronic pain problems is one of them, so I don't like that dub-con-y feeling stuff at all.

But the idea of one lover ceding control and offering himself up, trusting that he'll be taken care of? It can be hard, especially for someone like John who waits to let himself be cared for until he's practically sick from need? That's good stuff. Don't have to think (much) just be cared for and touched and...yeah. That. And there's something about John not even knowing he needs that until Rodney hits all the right buttons and phoom! John lights up ( ... )

Thank you for this. Please don't apologise - I rambled at you first, and, as you said it's good to talk to someone able all this.

Especially as I'm trying to get into John's head - and his past - myself, for the fic idea which is currently irritating the hell out of me. Heh.

If you need any help, let me know. I'd be happy to oblige.

On re-reading, the typo thing in my comments is really annoying me. And depressing. I *READ* my comments before I post and I still manage to omit letters and type entirely different words. Dammit. :( (Seriously, "able" for "about"?! I'm sure I used to have a brain... I'm missing typos all over the place, even when I *edit*. This is so not of the good.) I do apologise for all those typos.

And as for help, seriously? I'd love that. Someone else has also offered to be a "sounding board" but the more, the better. At the moment it's all very much at the stage of odd scenes and a complicated idea and wondering whether it all really works. (This is looking like it may be a 100k book.) And wondering whether anyone but me would care about it. LOL.

Do you use IM? Which client? I'm on AIM and YIM...

Don't worry about the typos in a comment, lovie. Life's too short. I didn't see them, really much more entranced with what you were saying!

I use IM only very sparingly, due to repetitive stress injuries; IM is the quickest way for me to get messed up and messed up but good. I type waaaay too fast.

PM via LJ is fine or beadtific at gmail dot com.

OW! :( I'm so sorry to hear that about your repetitive stress. I'm prone to tendonitis in my thumbs (using a cane puts a lot of pressure on the joint between my thumb and wrist) so can sympathise.

Our hands, like our spines, haven't fully caught up - evolutionarily - with the ways we use them , have they?
