coffee, tea, and thee
Saturday. Borders. Accomplishing not much except attempting to take some control over my life, fannish and otherwise.
Enjoying intermittent conversation in #yuletide with elynross over the virtues of Bats and Js and, well, we haven't gotten to clams yet, but I'm sure we will. And shusu over Tood the Wraith, and other such wonders of Atlantis.
Contemplating Batfic of the mythic variety and reminding myself I have a great many things to write so I can't start that one. Yet.
Poking at fic, so -
What I'm working on: Break Loose, J2
Total word count: 3110
Today's word count so far: 172 *sigh*
Estimate word count to the end of story: 5500ish
What I like: The way I handled a fairly typical problem - how to deal with lube and prep.
What I don't like: The fact that I can't seem to mimic Jensen's incoherence without getting incoherent myself.
Small snippet:
There are words, he’s trying to form them, but Jared yanks his jeans down over his hips and between the cool night fingering his dick and Jared thumbing into his crack, they scatter like bread crumbs.
Metal scrapes against metal, Jared’s zipper, then the heavy whisper of battered denim over skin. Jensen moans, low and soft. He’s not above begging; he wants this so much.
Jared splays his palm over his lower back, steadying. “Where’s the lube, Jen?”
Not, do you have any? Not, did you bring? Quiet, confident, knowing - because Jensen is his, and he always carries slick for Jared. For them, so they can have each other wherever and whenever inspiration strikes, because Jared, fucking Prince Charming, won’t take him without - not unless he’s got time to lick him wide and wet.
Hm, what else?
Red Seas under Red Skies by Scott Lynch broke my heart with its ending. In the very best way. I had to go check to make sure there would be more books in the series, and, lo, there are like 5!!! So, yay! But now I have to WAIT. I hate waiting. *whines* I may have to write fic to see myself through.
SPN/Gentleman Bastards crossover, Y/Y/MFY?
Yesterday was my father's 65th birthday. We're going out to dinner somewhere new - on the other side of the freaking world, or at least the other side of Phoenix - tonight. *sighs* I don't want to go driving halfway across the city for dinner. There's perfectly good restaurants HERE.
Watched The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Lots of love for that, despite feeling like I've seen huge parts of it before. "Keep your head down, resist the urge to be special" - sounds kinda like, uh, Claire. Black FBI officer with bad intel and a mission? Supernatural, anyone? Throw in a little Quantum Leap, actors from Stargate and Firefly and it starts to feel very familiar.
Still, STILL, Lena Headey is awesome. I like Thomas Dekker as John a lot. I loved him as Zach, but it's nice to see him as the normal teenager with an occasional bad attitude and some lies. Some people don't seem in love with Summer as Cameron, but I like her. She's sort of fey and her occasional woodenness really translates perfectly as the not-quite-human character. It's a bit of typecasting for her, I guess, but it's working for me.
I'm reserving on the show as a whole, just because I'm not sure it can maintain it's current levels of awesome. But it could settle in some and still be suitably, happily awesome.
Haven't seen SGA yet, though I know much of what happens. Kinda can't wait. Feeling like I want to write some SGA and SG1 fic, okay, lots of it, but not long on time. So, you know, I offered one SGA/SG1 fic specifically at Sweet Charity so that someone would maybe chivvy me along with something *they* want. (And, exsequar I have not forgotten your McShep story, SWEAR. It's coming toward the top of my list and might even be next!!)
I'm watching SG1 with the spouse, and I just... how are Daniel and Sam so incredibly AWESOME? Why do more people not just love snarky!Daniel and earnest!Sam and idealistic!Daniel and conflicted!Sam? I mean... *flaps* Sam! Alone! In the Prometheus! Dying! And Daniel in her head is snarky! Also, how do people not ship them? Or Teal'c/Sam? Or anyone Sam? I mean, okay, I know. Jack/Daniel, and yes, I insert witty commentary about "I must rescue my boyfriend!" while I watch, but there's as much of that with Sam and Daniel! Is it the cult of Jack? I really need to know before I go wading into SG1 fic and get hit by flying objects.
Lessee. Also, Jared is ADORABLE at Fangoria. Who's surprised? Repeat after me: I am not a tinhat. ♥ But SPOILER, omg, and I MISS MY SHOW.
I haven't wanted to in awhile, but I'm really itching to write some good Wincest fic, too. Painfully devoted 'til-the-world-ends Wincest. If you've got a bunny, bunny me! (I'll probably regret that. *g*) Or, if you want to make sure I write it, you can buy me.(I feel like such a whore, but it's not for ME it's for the WGA foundation, so I shall bury my pride and whore and whore and whore. *g*) So, in conclusion:
SWEET CHARITY RULES! (OMG, anonymous people you're terrifying me. I'm excited, but terrified!)
