two unrelated things (unconnected and free)
Thing One
In response to a post on asexy beast, I found myself wondering if there is such a thing as a nondating/friendship site where individuals can choose what sorts of expressions-of-affection they are comfortable with (and under what circumstances) --
* kissing?
* hugging?
* casual touching?
* nonsexual intimate touching (e.g. under the shirt but not in the pants)?
* holding hands? (in public, or just in private?)
I have to think that this would be seriously awesome if there were such a thing, but of course it will turn out that someone has already done it and it somehow sucks.
Thing Two
A Fiction came into my head a couple of days ago and demanded that I write it. It's kind of an alternate-universe thing with fanfic-ish elements, but it actually doesn't depend on any copyrightable content, so I could actually publish it if it were to somehow become finished. However, after writing two large chunks, I have become discouraged and can't decide if it's worth continuing.
If anyone would like to read what I've got so far, drop me a line (or, really, a line segment... preferably with blunted ends; those one-dimensional theoretical constructs tend to go right through the floor without stopping).
