In which I fail miserably as an artist

Jan 16, 2008 21:37

This is me, breaking my resolutions exactly two weeks into the new year. I said it was all going to be deeply felt, carefully crafted fic with tremendous emotional significance, but....well, would anyone be willing to beta ~1700 words of F/K domestic schmoop and blowjobs? It's for smut_bingo. Yeah. *whistles ( Read more... )

You might fail as an artist, but the world always needs more blowjobs and F/K schmoop. And I sincerely doubt you fail as an artist. Really.

If I promise that I'm also writing stuff with actual content, do you think I can still keep my resolution?

Of course, nos. Anything to keep you writing...*g*

I like to think of F/K schmoop and blowjobs as the sort of thing that is always in short supply. Like, we're living in wartime conditions and we desperately need sugar, gasoline, metal and F/K kisses.

And you are very, very sweet and far too kind. I really should be punished, not encouraged. (That sounded a little dirty, didn't it? Oh dear.)

*grin*

Yeah, it did. But that's okay. You can talk dirty to me anytime...I'll still respect you in the morning.

I can beta, depending on your required turn-around time. Email me. :-)

Honey, I would LOVE for you to take a look at it! Are you sure you don't mind? There's absolutely no rush, so if you have something else to work on (say, VICTORIA) it'd be fine. But, yes, with the love.

there's art in EVERYTHING you do.

Clearly dessert_first didn't tell you about my bunny for a story about a hernia. Or the one where Fraser lipsyncs to George Michael's "Freedom 90". (Although that one was actually Dess's fault. The hernia one was all me. Naturally).

*bleaches brain*

The hernia I can deal with. They're not usually permanent. :)

I'm so sorry I inspire the use of brain-bleach! I think you'd had to resort to the use of chemicals when I'd mentioned it before, but now I've gone and reopened that wound. "Sorry, sorry!"

:-) I'll make it up to you, I promise. If my current level of productivity keeps up I may actually finish that Arizona story soon! \o/ And then we can put all this unpleasantness behind us.

It can't be ALL thoughtfully crafted, deeply resonant fic. There is a time and a place for schmoop and blowjobs. In fact, I think there are MANY times and places. And positions!

I like the way you think! And you do make an excellent argument re: blowjobs and schmoop. Perhaps I should rethink my approach. Maybe the crafted/resonant stuff should be seen as the exception to the rule? I could hang out my shingle as a strictly PwP writer. The other kind of fic is hard and breaks my poor wee mind.

Or you could write whatever you're inspired to write, and forget about rules and resolutions unless they're useful to you. ;)

Heh, you and your "sensible perspective" and "measured solutions." Yer nuts, that's what I say!

Like a thank-you note, an F/K blowjob is never inappropriate to offer to this gang. :)

Hehehe, JS, you sound like my mom giving me an etiquette lesson!

If she ever said that I'll eat my toque. ;)

*g* Okay, you caught me. Your toque is safe :-)
