Is there anything more nerve wracking than waiting to hear back from your betas?

[tejas]

At least in the writing portion of life. Lots of other things are much more nerve wracking, but as I'm practicing being overly dramatic, I thought I'd go with it. (Still not seeing the draw of drama queen-hood, but I'll give it more time. There must be something to it given how many folks practice it, right?)

I got Worthy off to my betas around

Huh. I usually have trouble with supernatural elements in NCIS stories (my particular quirk, not a value judgment)... but I must admit that I am intrigued.

(Carrion eaters? Jackals? Vultures? Corvids of one variety or another? *ponders*)

[tejas]

Oh, I get that this sort of thing isn't for everyone (though there's nothing supernatural in this AU). My first fic in my reentry to fic writing was mpreg. :-) So, yeah, while this stuff doesn't qualify as a "kink" for me, it's still a "thing" and my thing isn't necessarily your thing and that's cool. :-)

There are all sorts of carrion eaters. We don't meet any, but they get a mention.

For me, the draw for writing this one is the same as the draw for writing that SG1 mpreg - I grew up reading science fiction. :-) Both ideas are such *cool* science fiction concepts (though shape shifting is usually relegated to fantasy) that I can't resist when I see an opening. :-)

Huh. Maybe I have a world building kink. :-)

[malnpudl]

Worldbuilding? *ears perk up* See, now that turns my crank! :-D

And from what you say... shapeshifting that's not supernatural, huh... I am now doubly intrigued.

[tejas]

I'll get you, my pretty! :-)

I was watching Master and Commander last night and thinking I should add a section to my notes file called "Natural History". ;-)

[malnpudl]

Careful. You're talking my language now... ;-)

[tejas]

Ooh, a better resource than TV documentaries? ;-) Whoo-hoo!

Just don't ask me about the physics of shape changing. Tony and Gibbs don't know, don't care and McGee will never admit that he doesn't know, either. :-)

If you ever need a new fandom....

[tejas]

LOL!!! The slash does fairly leap off the screen. :-)

But then, it pretty much leaped off the page, too. :-)
