etherati July 29 2009, 06:43:28 UTC

ACKACK SORRY D: I had to post it! I've been working on it since MAY and it was finally DONE and I couldn't hold off any longer!

SORRY D:

Nonono, this is a good thing that it was so hard to resist - it's now held out as my bribery/reward for applying to a particular job tonight instead of putting it off yet another day. Your work is just that good :)

etherati July 29 2009, 18:28:03 UTC

People do seem to be really liking it, which surprises me a bit given the content.

I have become bribery currency OH NOEZ. XD

THANK -YOU-.

I know it feels nuts knowing it's finally finished and posted. I have agonized over this thing for *so* long.

mustinvestigate July 29 2009, 20:07:23 UTC

Aw yeah, FIRSTIES! I win...um...something!

:)

This is fantastic, beautiful, and amazing. What the hell, how are you this good. :D Really gorgeous and incredible imagery (HOT imagery) and what I said ages ago about you writing things in an extremely textured way still applies.

I have to go to work, so I haven't read part two yet (THE BEST PART OF WAKING UP IS ZOMBIE!PORN IN YOUR CUP?) but I will be back. Oh yes, I will be back.

etherati July 29 2009, 15:00:53 UTC

Thank you so, so much. I'm so sorry for how many people seem to have been just about to leave for work when I posted this arg D:

I'm not actually this good; without all the lovely beta-work it would not have been anywhere near as coherent as it is haha.

daylilymoon July 29 2009, 23:41:29 UTC

Pfff I will not hear any apologies for posting awesome fic! It's a compliment to you that I would rather have sat reading this than gone and done the fix hair+fix face+pack lunch routine ( ... )

etherati July 30 2009, 00:09:31 UTC

but yours is nice and inquisitive and reminds me of when I used to be into science; there's so much meticulous examination and inquiry and working into details for the sake of discovery.

Quoted because it's very interesting, since science is my first love and still the focus of my academics. I wonder if those things are connected. It would make a lot of sense.

The trust is honestly what finally drew me in. I'd sworn I would never write zombieporn when liodain drew the necknomming picture and made a silly comment in the thread about zombie!ror and I realized that, oh holy crap, Dan would have to have SO MUCH TRUST to let him do that. And trust is more of a kink for me than most straight-up sexual things are. So my resolve completely, utterly broke at that point.

but it's still theirs and they still want it and still try.Yes. Yes. Exactly. It's theirs and they don't have a whole lot else and it's worth trying, because there aren't always second chances. Even if it's fucked-up and broken in places and doesn't quite fit right in others ( ... )

That was... Beautiful. And brilliant. And my heart is aching a little right now, damn it.

I love that you can take a fic about zombie!Ror and make it seem completely plausible as I'm reading it.

etherati July 29 2009, 19:45:50 UTC

You read part 2 also, yeah? (Only asking because the comment's under part 1 :D)

Thank you, seriously. The plausibility of it all is what keeps me writing in the AU; I'm so invested in these versions of the characters it's not even funny.

elspethdixon July 30 2009, 01:08:37 UTC

Zombies, science zombies, bad science, slash. Slash is explicit this time though, so we’ve got the added bonus warning of borderline necrophilia! But it really isn't horrifying. It isn't.

You have no idea how much happy anticipation this warning filled me with.

Nearby, his costume hangs - the lightweight one, because the nights are getting warm*glee ( ... )

etherati July 30 2009, 01:25:11 UTC

He has so, so many issues. :| And half of them are my fault.

Rorschach's pact with the city that's really a pact with himself,

Thank you for picking up on that! :D

And yeah, they're basically both trying to give each other something terrifying but that they still NEED for reasons they don't even understand, to the point that there's a tension that just HAS to give.
