Sookie the Shut in and her Clayton's Security

Jul 02, 2011 07:16

I realise every so often that I use Australian phrases no one else but Australians (and maybe Kiwis) understand. One of those phrases is to have a "Clayton's" something or other. That actually derives from a drink that was sold here - a non-alcoholic drink - with the tagline "The drink you have when you're not having a drink." For some reason ( Read more... )

It's a compulsion, to be sure. :D I love goggling at how bad it can get. :D

It could be - but I suspect it's some of the apologies that go on for Eric. If he ever does anything wrong, it's completely scrubbed out. People think he's having a laugh if he threatens to torture Sookie to her face. That's where his honesty is wholly discounted, and he's not being honest. Cause lots of guys try to woo a chick they wanna bone with threats of torture. :D

Lol - yes, exactly. I suspect book Eric actually cared about keeping her there, and was willing to take his lumps. :D No big deal though. :D

I know - Eric should definitely be locked in his house. He's just a danger to himself. He has bartenders stealing off him, Bill trying to get his assets out from under his nose, Dracula impostors, witch attackers, Sophie Anne, takeovers, bomb threats from the FotS and his maker. If anyone needs to go to the prison of love, it's Eric. For his own safety of course, and for Sookie's peace of mind. If he loves her, he'll do it. :P

Lol - I'd set it so that they're on a curve, and I end up with a good report. :D I know how to rig a system to get a better result, and I'll make sure I have you fill out my teacher evaluation forms *before* you get your final marks. :D :D

Exactly - actually, I blame you entirely for that bad habit, which I've picked up from you :P

I hate it how Eric never means anything he says, if it's not nice. Sometimes it's taken to the point of ridiculousness - I once read that when Eric told Sookie her breath could knock down a horse, he actually thought that she smelt wonderful. I mean I get why people want to pretend he wasn't really threatening to torture her, but can Eric not even tell Sookie she smells bad now?

That would work out great for Sookie actually - Eric could be the sitting duck everyone targets, and Sookie can just get on with her life at last, since she's no longer the easiest to kill :D And in fact, Eric would have a lot fewer enemies if he just sat in his house all day. It's win-win :D

Yay, C's get degrees! I'll just give you a bad evaluation on the assumption you're not going to give me an A :P I hate filling those things out anyway. :D

I do quite love the bad fanfics - they bring perverse joy to my life. :D

That habit drives me mad, because it basically discounts a lot. I mean, I wouldn't give someone who threatened to torture me - for real - the time of day. But Sookie forgives that as part of Eric's nature and still has it in her to fall in love with the guy. Once you make an apology for the whole threat of torture, it doesn't look like Sookie's making any effort to make allowances for Eric at all - when the opposite has happened.

Lol - and he'd throw an epic tantrum, and then Sookie could tell him he's lucky he gets to sit in his house and get fucked. Then he'll tell her he likes to work, and she'll tell him that staying in his house and living off her doesn't make him a whore. He'd have to start wearing lingerie all the time, and she'd have to give him lots of lectures....actually, that might make an appreciable fic. I'd read that little role reversal, and if Eric gets chastened enough, and sees Sookie's magnificent sense (after all, she has lived alive longer than him, and I'm sure we can put a library up in the attic) I would review that puppy. :D You could even bring in Bill to give Eric lectures, and then Eric can tell Bill to take a flying leap, and Sookie can order Bill back to *his* house cause he's being all dangerous and outside. :D

Well then, you fail. Just because you wrote that. :D You were right all along. :D

That's kind of the root of the problem - that so many stories are all about making it seem Sookie never does anything admirable, and she's the one who doesn't deserve Eric, rather than the other way round. And that *does* take away so much from the story.

Lol, I was reading that and just thinking that that would be the best story ever! I would so love to read that. Especially Eric having to dress up in sexy outfits to please Sookie. Can Sookie also stop Eric talking to Pam, because Pam's secretly obsessed with him and wants to rape him?

*mutter* I don't want to do your stupid course anyway *mutter*

It just undercuts most of the actual love story and tough stuff. It's unrecognisable from the books because Sookie is forced to grovel, and she'd never do that.

I've been wanting that one for a while - if for nothing else, then the idea of Eric bathing in the moonlight in his mankini and the dearth of male lingerie leading to Eric wearing something tacky as hell. Lol - yep - Pam is obsessed with him and wants to rape him. That would be hilarious. And suddenly Eric notices how *short* Pam is, and her boobs are flat and she was bad in bed. And he finds out that Felipe, his boss, only gave him the job because *he* wanted to fuck Eric, and he's possibly in cahoots with Appius to breed more vampires or something. That would be the most awesome story ever, in the history of the world. :D :D

Lol - you'll never be an alumni of PMR-PWNS-U. :D

Want me to work on this story for you? I've been needing something silly to get my teeth into.

Okee-doke. I've got to take my brain out of the serious stuff it's been trying to think of lately - so I shall start working on this :oD

Any preference what book you'd like it to start after?

Hmmm, maybe DAG? That's the usual point selected for these sorts of stories. And if you come up with any particularly amusing ideas relating to the earlier books, you can just add a flash back :D

You will, I'm sure, be pleased to know that this has been running through my mind most of the day, and I has teh ideaz! Though I may have to re-read the books.

I will be starting it probably after dead in the family - possibly after dead reckoning.

Yay I can't wait, it's so hard to find decent fanfic to read these days.

Yes I keep having to dip into the books while writing my fic. If only we could all have PMR's encyclopedic knowledge of all things SVM.

You have to have "complete inability to write creatively" too. :D Tis a burden. :D

Dude - I'm with anon. I would love this one. :D

Stupid fanfic writers ruining SVM... Except for me, I'm awesome and never do anything wrong :D

Lol, I love it. We could keep on coming up with great ideas for this story all night (or afternoon?). The possibilities are endless. Whenever I'm feeling sick and dirty from all the bad fanfic I've read, I'm just going to think of Eric in his mankini being protected from Pam the rapist, and I'll feel better.

:D

Lol - never. Or at least not so appreciably stupid. :D

I often make it better by imagining Eric in these situations. And then I have a little giggle. :D
