quick little randomnesses

It has been a busy week. I suspect Part Eight of the Continuation will have to wait until next week; I meant to work on it tomorrow, but I have a science fiction symposium to attend...However, there might be an excerpt up in this post near the end, so...read on? While I babble about things, and ask you all a question?

six possibly-interesting things on my mind )

fic recs, i love my job, promises of fic to come, fandom: x-men: first class, maybe original fic?, life

The internet is a dangerous wilderness, full of unanticipated terrors. And possibly ROUSes. (Yay Princess Bride jokes!) In my head that little flashback moment takes place...somewhere in the first three Things With Porn. They're obviously enjoying that relationship and those roles, but still learning about each other, and still in the look-up-everything-about-each-other-online stage. And of course this story will be about them learning each other all over again...

I just left that particular prompt because I don't think I've seen it anywhere yet, other than my own unexplained reference to somewhat intoxicated James thinking that Bon Jovi songs were a good idea, in one of the other stories! And Michael sings at the drop of a hat, basically. (*encourages your brain* Write the fic! James has quite a nice voice--and he does sing in Arthur Christmas--but he'd probably end up laughing and missing words.) (As I recall, in the interview in which they sing together, after Michael comes up with a song, James looks at him and says something like, "You always pick songs I don't know!" So there's that...)

I love the simultaneity of that assumption. The heroes are being satisfied by males over there, while the villains're being satisfied by females over there, and everyone's happy! (The best quote of this morning's batch, in the suddenly-I'm-worried-about-other-time-zones category: "The changing gender roles can easily be distinguished by works written in different time zones.")

And, aww, yay! :D :D I'll see what I can find that's presentable. It's all fantasy, and frequently with at least a hint of romance. :-)

Okay, shame on me - I had to google that joke to get it... (I have seen The Princess Bride, but not for a looooooooooong while!)

(*encourages your brain* Write the fic! James has quite a nice voice--and he does sing in Arthur Christmas--but he'd probably end up laughing and missing words.)

See, I knew I'd be proved wrong! But, in my brain, James is drunk. And no one sings well when they're drunk, right? So I could get around it that way (IF I write it, and that's still an IF, even though my brain is still thinking thoughts about it, like how it's totally somehow Kevin Bacon's fault that James is drunk... *g* But in any case, I want to crack on a bit more with the fest fic before I think about anything else!)

Clearly it's been too long! Perhaps we should find time to watch it...

Oh, it's totally Kevin's fault somehow. Like, he keeps buying James drinks, because he thinks that drunk-and-happy James is hilarious, and then encouraging him to do things, like sing, and express his feelings...And what's Michael thinking about this, anyway? *evilly enables*

Now back to napping. Because apparently I am, actually, sick. :-/

Oh no, you're sick? *hugs* I hope you feel better when you wake up this morning...

And what's Michael thinking about this, anyway?

Michael is not impressed... *g*

Oh--yes, I am. Totally made a pathetic post about it, earlier, too. Partly my fault, though. :-/

Of course he's not. Which will make James sad. (But...Michael finds James adorable anyway, or at least most of the time, when James is not horribly drunk and trying to sing, so clearly he needs to educate James about not abusing karaoke.)
