this is not a TWoP Disaster

[missdeviant]

The problem with The O.C. is that it's suddenly taken over my life. Wait. I'm saying it like it's a *bad* thing.

This is why I should never volunteer for anything. I was supposed to be writing a natural disaster, and it turns to drinks, shoes, and referencing Olympic gymnasts.

Thanks to rage_blackouts, for being my first beta ever.

I really enjoyed this for several reasons.
1)Shirtless!Seth.
2)It was just damn good. The title really did make me think it was going to be one of the natural disaster stories, which I'm not personally into, so I was happily surprised. Nice way to start a Monday morning.
3)Your voice is very true and even though I know this will never really happen on the show, the way it's written, I think it easily could. You have Summer's attitude, Ryan 'saying it all with a look', and Seth's... sethness down pat.

“Dude, like I’m supposed to know what that girl says half the time? She speaks upscale Valley.”

HA!

I would also just like to say that I too have the "Get Back on top of that Cute Boy This Instant" gene. Or is it more of an instinct? :)

Whatever it is, I would not disagree with it. Mmm, cute boys.

Don't we all! So happy you liked.

Nice job, sweets. So cute, so funny, great character voices. Love it! I hope you got my name for the challenge, 'cause I know you'd do my situations so well!

Hope my suggestions were useful to you.

[missdeviant]

You are totally with the helpful. Vice versa, I hope that the changes improved the overall Mudslide! experience for you.

But, sadly, I did decide in the end that porny conclusions just aren't my forte. Especially during 7 a.m. revisions.

*zips lips* I'm not spillin' who I got for OCFF, but alas, it was not you. Or mayhaps not alas, as I can steal you for assistance. If you're willing, that is. *g*

[rage_blackouts]

it would be my pleasure!

I'm glad it was *not* the natural disaster type of mudslide. I'm not really into those. I also liked that Ryan walking in on Seth and Summer did not lead to some long, drawn-out angsty thing based on a misunderstanding; those get tiresome sometimes.

The baby tigers amused me. Of course Seth is oblivious to how obvious his hunger for Ryan is, so I like that he was confused that "this explains a lot".

I think baby tigers amuse us all. As always, your comments are much appreciated.

Drunky-drunky, yay! I really liked this. I actually like the disaster series but was nonetheless pleasantly surprised to see this was about drinking frozen yummy beverages.

Seth had just rounded second base and was on his way to third when the sharp chime of the doorbell caught him in a rundown.

What a great opening line!

[missdeviant]

Ahh, to combine the two loves: baseball and The O.C. (even if they do occasionally work against each other.)

I'm so glad you liked! I'm retiring from the disaster writing arena, but definately not the beverage one, because Seth is too fun when he's drunk. Actually, he's too fun all the time. Which is why we should all love him. *sigh*

[lizzyjit]

Is Seth too young to know the Pina Colada song, do you think? Because that just writes itself.

[missdeviant]

lol. Oh, he totally knows it.

And you know what that makes me think of? Seth and Ryan karaoke! (ever since I heard that they karaoke-ed "I'm too Sexy" I've been dreaming of the corresponding fic.) You *so* have to write that. Or someone does. *challenge challenge*
