I'll admit to still being kinda "meh" on the Ty/Dean thing, but you make it work, and you make in interesting.

Hey, everyone's got their own relationship preferences. And you telling me I made a pairing that isn't really yours both work and be interesting is a really nice compliment which I appreciate greatly.

I hope your holidays and your past semester went well, and happy belated new year :).

Also, did you get to start on the second part of the Dean/Carter you had me beta, or did RL use up all your energy too?

Meta time because I feel like babbling a little. I find Dean/Ty interesting for a few reasons. I have a big weakness for best friends + more (to me the concept's usually sweet as candy). I also have a "gay for you" weakness, and I can see Ty having a Dean exception to his usual het rule without a whole lot of difficulty. And yeah, the fact that they'd be visually hot together definitely doesn't hurt.

(There's tiny little bits of canon support every so often, too, although there's definitely not an ep that screams Dean/Ty anywhere near as much as SitD screams Dean/Carter. That scene in High Rollers with Ty sitting on his bed ( ... )

I know. I like telling people they've made a pairing I don't usually read work pretty well for me. :D

Holidays were good, the semester..... well, that's something else. DX And happy belated new year to you too.

I did get started, but RL sapped a lot of my inspiration, and a few other muses decided to bludgeon my brain into working for them. Including these guys: http://community.livejournal.com/the_gas_station/197381.html Yes, I wrote slash for an old kids cartoon. XD Also, The Losers have rather eaten my brain, so I'm writing a story for them, a SGA fic inspired by a drawing someone did, a CSI story in jetpack_angel's We Don't Die universe, and a SG-1 fic. And they all seem to talk for a bit all at once and then go quiet. It hurts my brain.

I do like the concept, it's just not a pairing I really go for. Like in CSI, a lot of people do the Greg/Sara route, but that just squiks me out. I have a friend who was a guy, but I could never see myself with him ( ... )

I've read plenty of good fic that wasn't necessarily my pairing. Hell, there's a very well-written (imo) Carter/Alex that I commented approvingly on and told the author I really, really didn't like the ship and I still liked their work. Because getting me to like something I hate as much as I hate Carter/Alex takes work.

The only way I want them together is OT5. I will forever maintain that it would have been infinitely cooler to have canon Alex/Jaimie. I don't know why we couldn't at least have had them do the fake-girlfriends for a case thing.

I'm glad to hear your holidays were good, but I'm sorry to hear that your semester wasn't the greatest.

I find the slashing of an old kids cartoon amusing. But then I've been reading a lot of community.livejournal.com/weepingcock (ridiculously bad pr0n) lately and they actually have a "raping my childhood week". Although I'm positive yours is light-years above that dreck in quality.

I have yet to actually see The Losers, but I've read a fair amount of fic for the movieverse (mostly ( ... )

Yeah. Doesn't have to be my favorite pairing to read it, just has to be well written. The fake-girlfriends/fake-boyfriends for a case would definitely be pretty awesome. Why can the writers never get this right?

I re-found the show twice recently, and this time around gained the muses to go with. And yeah, that..... **shudders** Of course, I got an anonymous review on my fic that was all "Dreams don't work like that" and it really pissed me off. It's a literary device. And I just... The bit with the "It's going too fast, and the emotional reactions are too brief and intense" and I'm all, "That's what emotions are. Richie is scared and he lashes out, but Virgil reminds him he's dealt with similar shit, and I've seen things like that happen." But I couldn't say that, because it was an anonymous review. **grumbles** Your review definitely made me feel better, because it was like the antithesis of the other, with more likes, and only one small nitpick, rather than a bunch of nitpicks with a couple "But I did actually like it ( ... )

Fake girlfriends/boyfriends is an inherently great cliche in my book. And DB had Dean/Jaimie for Ice and Carter/Jaimie for Betsy and the whole shipping drugs in flowers deal, so I think having Alex/Jaimie, Dean/Carter, or Dean/Ty would have been really awesome. (Despite having written them having sex in TDBLAN, I've never really wanted to see fake Ty/Carter.)

If it's a recurrent dream and he writes it down right away, I think he could conceivably remember at least some details. And yeah, literary device. Also, on the intense emotions thing, these are relatively young guys, who've been through a lot together and have a pretty deep underlying emotional bond. I gave you the kind of review I generally try to provide, where I mention things I specifically liked (and the one issue I did have ( ... )

Exactly! I have no problem with anon reviews that are thoughtful/complimentary/small quibbles. Those I can understand. When the review is all "this is wrong and this is wrong and this is wrong but it's a good story!" I just... I want to strangle them. Because that's really back-handed. It's like telling someone "you're really fast for being fat" or "you're really smart for a country kid." It's insulting, and not trying to help the writer at all ( ... )

Personally, I tend not to comment at all on stories that I don't find at least good. (Although hottie555's Dean/Carter on ff.net I commented on the first few chapters that "the concepts are good but your editing is abysmal" because it was. And did not get any better. And the second to latest chapter has Carter paddling Dean because he hasn't eaten in five days, so yeah, I really wouldn't advise reading it.)

If you ever checked out my memories list, I've actually got amusement and crack tags. (Fair warning if you do, I've got a lot of memmed RPS and no, I don't actually believe it, although I still think Jensen and Jared have a) read Jsquared considering IIRC at least one of them's admitted to reading Wincest and b) have at points deliberately made it easy to slash them). So me writing rather crackily themed stories isn't terribly surprising.

What made the wingporn idea pop up was "hey I'm kind of running DeanB through the fannish cliches lately, why not wingporn?" (Although I promise to never write Dean pregnant ( ... )
