10 ways to tell you are reading a fic by underlucius
10. If you say "what the fuck?" a lot, then it's probably a good bet.
9. hyphens - dropped as if by wingéd fairies - are scattered liberally throughout the fic - making you wonder where it all begins - and where it ends.
8. A tortuous attempt to use similie and metaphor without saying "like" or "as if" which fries the brain pan.
7. Lucius is portrayed as a tender lover, an impatient father, a misunderstood man, moulded into a killer by an abusive father. Blame the parents. Lucius does.
6. commas, lots, and lots, and lots, they breed you know.
5. One. Word. Sentences.
4. Peculiar word choices. My editor doesn't like them. *smites her* "the earth of the sycophant" "pattering relief" "He moves in forbidden slides."
3. scents, sounds, touch, taste, sight. description and then more description. enough already! "What good is a book with no conversation?" said Alice...
2. There's usually some kind of power struggle or mind fuck going on, even if it's within the same person
and the number one sign you are reading a fic by underlucius?
1. You have no clue what it was about, and have to read it again!
For you British types who are watching "Life on Mars" Is it me, or is there a definite vibe going on between Sam and Gene? I've just read this on the BBC website:
"He doesn't get off to a great start with his boss Gene. They develop a love/hate relationship although they do have a begrudging respect for each other's methods.
it's not just me!! Seriously though, Foreign cousins, nag your networks to get this, because this is a classic. I can't describe how good this is.
