The Theme Of This Entry Is 'Riona Shouldn't Be Allowed To Make Entries'.

[rionaleonhart]

From the article in which Derren Brown very quietly came out in September 2007:

You should always come out; life is so much easier. People generally aren't as bothered by your intimate secrets as you are. It took me being in a relationship with a guy for a month before I told anyone I was thus inclined.I probably shouldn't, but I really, really

...Is this a SPN thing? Sad2say I am blaming it for being an incesty gateway >:(

Srsly, I'm going to show you some Bollywood films and you will love them <3

But I don't 'ship Sam/Dean! I sort of wish I could exchange these Kevin/Joe thoughts for Sam/Dean ones, because at least Sam and Dean are fictional.

I look forward to being educated!

[draegonhawke]

Don't you ship Sam/Dean angst, though? Or horrible awkward UST? I ask because I seem to remember you persuading me to write some of it.

[rionaleonhart]

Derren is wonderful with words. Have you read Tricks of the Mind? I would recommend it very strongly. (I would also advise that you write the fic. FILL THIS HOLE IN THE UNIVERSE.)

I shall forgive and indeed respect you for not following me Jonas-wards.

[rionaleonhart]

You can buy it from Amazon for just under five pounds! That's essentially the cost of a loaf of bread per hundred pages. Assuming you are not starving, a hundred pages of this book are definitely worth a loaf of bread.

"I find myself sort of charmed by the Jonas brothers."

*jumps out of her window screaming NOOOOOOOOO! *

NO DON'T JUMP OUT OF THE WINDOW

I'M SORRY

I CANNOT HELP IT; SHOW ME A RIDICULOUS DANCE AND I AM LOST.

Oh Riona. I'm so ashamed. (Also, RPS incest? What has become of you?)

I'm tackling this entry backwards- I would like that fic very much! You could write it you know *nudge nudge*

[rionaleonhart]

(I DO NOT KNOW. I am appalled by my own mind.)

I'd like to write the fic, but I have absolutely no idea how I'd go about it, especially as we know nothing about Derren's boyfriend. Also, I'm already working on Derren-as-the-Doctor's-companion and, er, angelic!Derren/Castiel at the moment.

[bubl]

True, that is a tricky one. I'm not sure how we'd get around that, but the idea is still a good one.

Angelic!Derren/Castiel?? :D

...damn you, damn you Riona!

I hate it when people tempt me with fic I probably shouldn't write because it could way too easily turn into thinly disguised talking-about-my-past-personal-issues fic. (I'm fine. But I still tend to handle assorted comings out by email, preferably from at least a continent away.) It's just all fitting together: the not-getting-it, the "How could I have been so clueless?" moment, the vague and extremely confused religious guilt of the irrational "I'm quite sure there isn't actually a god, let alone a specifically homophobic one, but GOD HATES IT!" sort. It's just all falling into place inside my head, and it's clearly a bad idea!

Up until this point, my only vaguely-autobiographical fic were the one where Richard Hammond's caught in a coup attempt, and the one where the Doctor's stuck in Versailles (...yes, I'm a bit odd).

[rionaleonhart]

Oh, this sounds amazing. Especially "I'm quite sure there isn't actually a god, let alone a specifically homophobic one, but GOD HATES IT!" (especially as Derren hates irrationality and would be so angry to recognise it in himself but unable to stop himself from having these thoughts).

Obviously you shouldn't write it if it would make you personally uncomfortable, but if not I would absolutely love to see what you write, because this sounds wonderful.

[wolfy_writing]

It's simultaneously tempting and disturbing in the "I never write about myself" way. Because writing about yourself is hard. But this would be an excuse to simply write about someone completely different in suspiciously similar circumstances (except, you know, if it's the actual parents, and not just a few Extremely Catholic Relatives pushing the idea, it's worse and excuses angst and confusion into his thirties). Which is usually a sign of a bad self-insert, and I don't want to write badfic.

Er, wibble? Perhaps I should sleep on the idea while working on "Derren Brown gives everyone amnesia and tries to seduce Richard Hammond; Jeremy does seduce Richard and promptly accuses him of turning everyone in the world gay; James attempts to put actual information together while everyone else is distracted by gay sex." Possibly giving it a shorter title.

[rionaleonhart]

You say you don't want to write badfic, but I think it sounds as if it could be brilliant, and I already know you're a wonderful writer. I very much hope that you decide to write it, but of course it's your decision. (And I'm looking forward to the continuation of the amnesiafic enormously, too.)
