ANNOUCEMENT OF THE MODLY SORT

[shibaiko]

I could post secrets right now (I had like 3 sodas while I was working, so I'm never going to sleep), but... there were only 14 of them this week. And that's with the 3 that were unposted last week. So, instead, we're going to put it off for one week, and then double-up next week. Deal with it.

Seriously, guys, step it up. This is really lame.

I just joined, and I made two. One was unposted, one was for this week.

And I've got two more in the works. This place is addicting!

I think the problem is this: bashing. I mean, I could say that I would . . . I don't know . . . *tries to think up something totally false at a moment's notice* Okay. I could say I'd happily have a threesome with Adam and Anthony. (Which I wouldn't, because I happen to think that while Adam has a hella sexy voice, he's really not particularly attractive - not to mention they're both taken.) But I guarantee someone would come in to say that's disgusting, that Anthony's ugly/a pervert/an attention whore/etc., and so on. I know that if I posted secrets on a regular basis and was regularly slammed, I'd leave or stop posting. I fully expect to be beaten into the concrete for one of my two, and I knew that would happen before I ever submitted it. But it seems like every secret out there goes on the chopping block and is slammed and vilified to within an inch of its life - not much conducive to encouraging

If I haven't quit because of the pervading earnestness than I don't see why anyone would quit over meanness.

[technicolornina]

A little cattiness is one thing, but being constantly slammed would get to some people, I think.

OMG. Total icon love. Are you a shipper? *pulls out matching icon*

[craww]

Being constantly slammed is, I'm sure, something most people don't aspire towards.

...wow, that's eerie. Ummm. I can't say I'm a 'shipper. Just an opportunist.

[technicolornina]

Yeah, true. It's just kind of discouraging to see all the slamming - I mean, like I said, I know I'm going to get it this coming week. I really don't care. At least my secret is true . . .

Hehe. It's a popular icon. And . . . oppotunist? Eh?

Wait. You're one of those people who just doesn't like Mark to be alone, right? (Me too. I just like Mark/Angel the best ^_^)

[puppetoflove]

She's more like one of those people who wants Mark to fuck everyone. Her OTP is Mark/Squeegee Man, though.

[technicolornina]

Heheheh-

Wait a minute.

SQUEEGEEMAN?

*dies of squick*

Well, that said, my OTP is actually an OT3, so I guess I can't say too much . . .

I put Mark with just about everyone but Roger. And Mimi. Well - once. But it was pre-RENT . . . and it's part of a very long Mark/Angel (I think the first potentially realistic multichaptered one, in fact) . . . *hides* Don't hurt me!

[shibaiko]

my otp is roger/the man.

(seriously, I don't know if that's still popular, but I know that it actually was a legitimate ship at one point.)

[craww]

I'm writing a story where Roger visits The Man for a fix and has to pay with some sweet tender fuck. Ushering Roger further into the alleyway of discreet drug dealing and desperate prositution, he decides to borrow Squeegee Man's cardboard castle for their little romp. You see, Squeegee Man has the softest bedding in Tent City, because he collects all his towels directly from the area's most upscale bath houses. The Man has collected many a fee against those pungent threadbare fibers.

Anyway. He finds Mark there with Squeegee Man, doing unspeakable things with a squeegee, and that's when it either turns into a comedy or hardcore foursome smut. It's still in its early stages, and I like to let the writing guide me.

[shibaiko]

it either turns into a comedy or hardcore foursome smut

I don't see why it can't be both.

[craww]

Well, with my writing, it usually turns into the opposite of whatever I intended. There I would be, attempting to write witty jealous banter between Mark and The Man, when my artistic integrity would come in out of nowhere and inspire a heartfelt soliloquy from Squeegee Man that redefines the boundries of all the relationships blossoming within the sodden confines of the story.

[puppetoflove]

What she means by that is:

There I would be, attempting to write witty jealous banter between Mark and The Man, when my artistic integrity would come in out of nowhere and inspire a heartfelt soliloquy from Squeegee Man that redefines the boundries of all the relationships blossoming within the sodden confines of the story, and then they would all fuck, a lot, and maybe someone fucks someone with a giant dildo, and, fine, that person is probably Mark. And then someone cries a lot, and, fine, that person is probably Mark. Oh, and then someone gets pregnant because MPreg makes everything better, and, fine, that person is definitely Mark.

That's what she means.

[technicolornina]

That story sounds like it should star Cary Shields. Whoa, it's almost plagiarism!

[craww]

It is plagiarized. I saw it scribbled next to the giant OBC photos outside the Nederlander. It was half obscured by a giant sprawling "KAYTEE LOVES WILLY J", but I was able to supplement the rest of the story when I got a true feeling for the characters and their motivations.

[technicolornina]

I can't believe I haven't been coming to RENTsecrets lately...How was I able to live, missing such fascinating stories?
