If this doesn't come through, I will be even MORE disappointed than you will be

Me: Hey, John. If I give you a dollar, will you write a fic for me?
John: Let me read one of your fics for reference.
Me: ...! holy crap i didn't think this would actually work! [casually:] Oh, sure, I can do that. [sends him the glowworms wip.] Done

I'm not sure you could be more disappointed than I would be, because that is really tremendously exciting.

I wish my brother would write fic for me. All he does is nick my ideas for his Nation-States game. :(

John keeps coming up with these fic ideas and telling me to write them so I decided to turn the tables. Also I have bad impulse control sometimes. >>

It IS tremendously exciting! I told him I'd posted about it, so he had my entire flist waiting on it so he wouldn't want to disappoint. "All three of them?" he answered.

Fucking smartass.

You gave him the scary, evil doom-fic of all-but-certain death as a reference? Fantastic! :D

[kayliemalinza]

But-- I always thought of it as a cute fic! I described it to John as the fic in which "Kirk and Bones are such good friends!"

But, you know, cuteness may equal doom for a given value of cute. especially if i'm in charge.

"Kirk and Bones are such good friends!"
STROLLING THROUGH THE WOODS TOGETHER. This is true. Yes.

Bones would like his nickname to NOT become any more literal than it already is, thank you very much.
