Completely narcissistic writing meme

[tasyfa]

Stolen from synecdochic:
Quote a bit of my fic at me? Find that one story of mine that you really like, and find a sentence or a paragraph that presses your prose-buttons in the right way, and comment here with it? Don't care how long or short.I believe the question marks are substituting for the old-fashioned, "please." ;) I was thinking that this might help

I am so stealing this meme :-)

I was on my way to find something from Downtown Whore when I got sidetracked by this:

After 16 years of friendship with Tré Cool, Billie had gotten used to the fact that it was impossible to know what to expect from him at any given moment. But even that wasn't enough to prepare him for the sight that met his eyes as he fully entered the warm copy room: Tré, shirtless, shoeless and beltless, with a nearly two-foot-long chain of paper clips connecting his ear and his nipple, shaking his chest and hips and gyrating like a deranged Chiquita Banana lady on serious steroids.

It is undoubtedly the most purely visual image that I think you've ever written, at least in the non-porn division. The rest of the fic is fun, but this bit has stayed with me as the essence of The Cool.

So, then Downtown Whore. And it's just one line:

"Isn't that a pretty, pretty sight?"

It still makes me shiver. Such a perfect introduction to the whole fic. I can hear it being drawled appreciatively, dom to boy, setting up the dynamic of the whole encounter. Lovely.

Hee! I'm glad you *did* continue on to Downtown Whore then, because I totally agree that that Mark(er) para is ultimate Cool - and leighrowena wrote it. :D Merci for playing. ♥

Well, fuck.

*facepalms*

Um...yeah...glad I continued on, too :-)

*grins* No, that's good - means it was seamless. And I *did* tell her, hey, this is what Tré's gonna be up to when Billie walks in, but she constructed that particular beauty. It's one of my favourites, too.
