quick little randomnesses

[luninosity]

It has been a busy week. I suspect Part Eight of the Continuation will have to wait until next week; I meant to work on it tomorrow, but I have a science fiction symposium to attend...However, there might be an excerpt up in this post near the end, so...read on? While I babble about things, and ask you all a question?

I did see the prompt-a-thon and your prompt but I already have so much (including tehnically 2 fics for you... (bad writer is bad oh god /headdesk.))
I am interesting in reading some of your original stuff.
I'll try to read the fic rec later. Between writing fic and reading Filth I feel a bit stretched. Filth is very interesting and I've found I sometimes can't put it down.
Oh I am very excited for this bit. It sounds good for many reasons.

[luninosity]

Yeah, I just put that one up because it sounded like a fun idea and I don't think I've read it anywhere else (other than my own flippant reference in one story). But I don't have the time! (And, no worries! Fic for me is a lovely present anytime--and you don't have to, you know, not that I don't appreciate it! *smiles*)

Yay about the original stuff! One other person had asked, and I figured, I should see if there was any interest, before just tossing it up here. I'll have to see which ones're fit for public consumption, though. They are all fantasy to some degree, often with romance, or at least hints of such. :-)

That one I'd been meaning to rec for AGES, because I've reread it several times, and it's been helpful in thinking about the D/s mentality for my own writing (look carefully; you can probably spot the occasional homage in a couple of the later Things With Porn). The writing is lovely.

So Filth is good, hmm? I might have to pick it up. Now that I am emerging from the midterm-grading cave and can read fun things again. (

1. I'm very sorry to hear that the baby is so stubborn D: C'mon little one (Is it a boy or a girl, if you don't mind me asking?), everyone is waiting for you!!

2. Aaah, McFassy prompt-a-thon. I've posted a prompt there, as well. I'm not sure that I'll write something, though. Not that I'm very busy lately, just very lazy. (I know I should feel guilty about that, but I'm not, oh dear.)

3. YES! Yes and yes again! By all means! *waits impatiently*

4. Ooooh, it does sound interesting! I'll check it out ASAP.

5. The quote of I-do-not-think-this-verb-means-what-you-think-it-means category made me giggle :3 I bet you read a lot of interesting things while grading the papers!

6. Yes to all of the things from this expert! Blue eyes trademark *tries not to laugh* It's brilliant!

[luninosity]

1. It is a boy! And still no changes! You'd think a third one (note: Awesome Husband and I are resolutely childless for now, so, these are as close as we get) would be easier, but no, apparently not! *all frustrated

[raffi]

1. A booooy!~ Have they decided on the name?
A third one? Wow, um- that's one big family (not that it shocks me *that* much, I have two siblings, as well ;D) ♥ Ah, yes. I remember you saying that right now, you're not thinking about children. But you do get along with your brother's kids, right? :)

2. *flails a bit* Thank you! *hugs you* And there's nothing to apologize for! Life is life~

3. Soon is good. Yes.

4. I'm reading it right now, actually. I haven't reached the sex part yet, though. But! It's very lovely ^^ (Oh boy, I'm sorry for my grammatical fails, it's hard to think in English sometimes, since- you know- I'm Russian.)

5. Di-different time zones? ... *tries not to laugh* Really? Time zones?

6. I can't believe that I wrote 'expert' instead of 'excerpt'. *is ashamed* God dammit, fingers! Type correctly, please! I'm replying to the English professor here and you fail me so D:

(Read it. Thank you, with all of my heart, love. I'm replying to you right now~)

1. I think they're going with Evan William (which makes me laugh every single time, because 1- I don't think they realize that Evan is a Welsh name, not Irish; and 2- to any medievalist, the combination of Welsh-Norman names is HYSTERICAL; this child is Gerald of Wales; oh GOD--!). This one was sort of...unplanned. They thought they were done after two, and then...surprise! And, I think we get along with the first two kids okay...Awesome Husband is in general better with kids than I am (more patient), but I like to think I'm good at coming up with imaginative games to play. And the oldest one is almost seven, and he's a total geek kid, so we can talk about Star Wars and superheroes with him

*hoots with laughter* Famous people should never surf the internet - they will find out Stuff... *g* Seriously though, so much love for that extract!

I really want to leave a prompt at the prompt-a-thon, but I can't think of a single thing! My brain is failing me! Stupid brain... (Also, said brain now wishes to write a fic in which James is a terrible singer - which probably isn't even true - thanks to your prompt!).

In a typical heroic fantasy, males satisfy the heroic character

Well, I'm sure that happens in some heroic fantasy, just maybe not the typical kind... ;)

And you should definitely post your original stuff - I would read the hell out of that! :D

[luninosity]

The internet is a dangerous wilderness, full of unanticipated terrors. And possibly ROUSes. (Yay Princess Bride jokes!) In my head that little flashback moment takes place...somewhere in the first three Things With Porn. They're obviously enjoying that relationship and those roles, but still learning about each other, and still in the look-up-everything-about-each-other-online stage. And of course this story will be about them learning each other all over again

[telperion_15]

Okay, shame on me - I had to google that joke to get it... (I have seen The Princess Bride, but not for a looooooooooong while!)

(*encourages your brain* Write the fic! James has quite a nice voice--and he does sing in Arthur Christmas--but he'd probably end up laughing and missing words.)

See, I knew I'd be proved wrong! But, in my brain, James is drunk. And no one sings well when they're drunk, right? So I could get around it that way (IF I write it, and that's still an IF, even though my brain is still thinking thoughts about it, like how it's totally somehow Kevin Bacon's fault that James is drunk... *g* But in any case, I want to crack on a bit more with the fest fic before I think about anything else!)

[luninosity]

Clearly it's been too long! Perhaps we should find time to watch it...

Oh, it's totally Kevin's fault somehow. Like, he keeps buying James drinks, because he thinks that drunk-and-happy James is hilarious, and then encouraging him to do things, like sing, and express his feelings...And what's Michael thinking about this, anyway? *evilly enables*

Now back to napping. Because apparently I am, actually, sick. :-/

[avictoriangirl]

3. Pffft. Of course we want to read your original fiction! :D

4. Oh, I've read that before, isn't it wonderful?

6. *loves* *waits patiently for the rest*

[luninosity]

3. Yay! There seems to be some encouragement about this, so, I'll see what I can find that's presentable...

4. Yes it is! Gorgeously evocative. The emotions, and the mutual love and trust, are so perfectly expressed. <3

6. Probably early next week? I'm trying to work on it now, but I know it won't be done before the symposium I have to attend at 12:30. And tomorrow is just FULL OF TEACHING AND MEETINGS AND ARGH. Soon, though! :D :D

[disbelief11]

I'll add my vote to you posting whatever original writing you can post. That would be amazing to read, I'm sure!

I love the thought of James distracting Michael in order to get the laptop, and the future years of hilarious in-jokes about religion and priests. (On a related note, one of my good friends once hooked up with a guy dressed as a priest at a Halloween party and we still tease her about defrocking him. She's now got a catch-phrase: "Oh, Father Charlie," said in a mocking tone.)

Karaoke! That shall now always remind me of our crack-fic.

Life. Life causes fandom interruptus, and that's okay.

Hope the baby comes soon! Hope you have fun at your symposium! Smooches!

[luninosity]

All the encouragement! You guys are fantastic. :-)

James is very devious, when he needs to be! And Michael doesn't actually mind that quality. And will continue to tease him mercilessly about priesthood forever. (Ahaha ALL THE BAD DEFROCKING PUNS. That's an awesome story.)

Indeed! Which reminds me that I need to write the last scene of the current one. I know where I want it to go, I just haven't had the time... :-/

Thanks! (And thanks on my sister-in-law's behalf, too! Still no news on that front...) I'm heading to campus in about half an hour, so, hopefully it'll be an exciting afternoon. Lots of talk about SF and teaching SF and the potential of the genre. :D :D
