Between cobwebs and dust, it's not like yer gonna find gold.

Oh my god. Look, look what I found in a stray notebook in the back of my childhood closet:
"Retief," Assistant Undersecretary Magnan muttered from the corner of his mouth, making waving motions at the obscuring cloud of grey smoke, "would you kindly extinguish that foul-smelling narcotic? Ambassador Grosgrain," he gestured toward the grey- ( Read more... )

Feel free to rec yummy Jedi fanfic if you feel the need. ;)

Heh, I don't really know the fandom at all. Read one of nimori's Q/O fics, which I loved, but...I think that's about it!

Nimori writes Q/O? WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED? *wanders off to read*

Go find it, it's wonderful! Let me know if you get stuck looking!

1. I have slash dreams with sort of alarming regularity--not like, weekly, but maybe every few weeks. Seriously explicit ones in which yes, I do have a cock. My husband finds this hilarious and somewhat bizarre. (yes, he doesn't know about fandom/fanfic, but does know that. this is probably all ass-backwards or something).

2. I KNOW where the Mary-Sue notebook of mine is. I can't bring myself to open the box or touch it or anything. It's from, good lord, 17 years ago, I reckon. I don't want to know what I wrote. So very much.

1. I have not had pleasurable dreams in the longest time, and by pleasurable I don't just mean smutty. I mean fun in any way. These days my dreams are dull and plotless and the bad ones are all about me being late for my plane and unable to find my suitcase or the people I'm travelling with or the route to the airport...

2. As a matter of fact, a few months after I'd written the sappiest of fantasies in my diary at age, what, thirteen ("Our enemy?" "Dead. Our child?" "Safe."), I actually ended up cutting those pages out of the diary altogether, driven by some instinct that, yes, they were indeed too humiliating to Let Fall Into The Wrong Hands. But the stuff I left in there ain't much better.

HAHAHA! OMG, I'm so very glad I'm not the only one who has slash dreams. It does always seem odd to have a cock though.

amanuensis1 August 12 2006, 20:45:15 UTC

You know, I'm not sure I remember the actual configuration of genitalia in the dream. But the kissing was AMAZING.

OMG! I haven't thought about Retief in years. I once had all the books. I wonder...Oh, dear, I foresee another Amazon bill in the future.

amanuensis1 August 12 2006, 20:47:22 UTC

Some of them are only a penny plus shipping! Go, do! (Heh, I think all my copies have vanished into the ether since then too.)

josanpq August 12 2006, 21:16:25 UTC

I've never bought used from Amazaon. Is it worth it? I know they say one cent or two but don't they charge an arm and a leg for shipping?

amanuensis1 August 12 2006, 21:40:03 UTC

Amazon marketplace sellers generally charge media mail shipping, so, it's not bad! Like half.com, most things come to you for about two and a half bucks shipping.

"Though I'm still a Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan fan at heart"
There's room enough in that pairing for a solid threesome. Just because Obi-Wan didn't commune with him until later, there's no reason Qui-Gon can't hang with his boys before they got the hang of it.

amanuensis1 August 12 2006, 22:49:22 UTC

I can be convinced! :D
