My Sam/Lee PWP only has a slight and temporary glitch: I have no libido right now. I can't get in the mood for the dirty, halfway kinky idea I have. But I'm pretty sure once I am, it'll practically write itself, so I'm not worried about that one.

But the Sam/Helo Caprica Occupation fic... GAH. I've got a concept and mood in mind, and something like a story, but it's hard. I'm trying to write it in a slightly different way than I normally tackle stories--more fragmented rather than one straight scene--so I'm up against that.

And then there's Helo, who is not a nevernude, exactly (LOL, KC), but for a playful, rough-and-tumble guy, he seems kind of uptight about getting horizontal with anyone who's not Sharon. Or, right now, Kara. That's my big problem. The muse has decided angsty Helo/Kara might be fun, even though 1) I'm in a slashathon and 2) I don't think of Helo and Kara as being anything more than friends. I might've written some really angsty Kara/Helo sex just to get it out of my system. And it didn't work!But I'm ( ... )

You'll be fine if your past track record is any indication. With the dirty/kinda-kinky stuff I mean. Hehehe.

And dude! Sam/Helo Caprica Occupation! For the mother frakkin' win! Seriously!? And I'm interested to see the "fragmented" thing. *tries not to get too excited about this fic* Oh what the hell! I'm excited!!!

(I totally love the Helo/Kara pairing myself!)

Topping? Wow? I don't know, damn. I want to say both... but part of me wants to say Helo! *ducks*

I am going to upload you some Placebo when I get home from work tonight!

Well, even when I go for fragmented, it's still scene-y. It's just the way my muse is hard-wired. I'm jealous like hell of people who can write short, sparse, but really interesting and evocative stuff. Lyrical but not over the top melodrama, and not at all scene-driven. Like you. *iz jealous*

I might shape up that Helo/Kara as a separate project, but right now it's just ridiculous muse overflow...of talky, angry sex! WTF.

Plaecbo for me? Really? I would love you forever. I don't know why Helo feels he needs it, but he does.

Thanks for the pep talk. :)

Meep! Thank you for reminding me about the Placebo! Uploading now! (And by the way, I cannot wait for Helo/Kara /non-slash talk.)

You are officially my favoritest person today! And tomorrow!

Seriously, thanks for taking the time to upload this music for me. Placebo's been sinking into my brain lately. And the Helo muse will be so very happy. :)
