YAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Also, have you been reading inell's Two Men and a Motorbike series? I discovered it (through emmagrant01's rec list) yesterday and I've been reading it pretty much since then. LOOOOOVING it! (Kirk/McCoy)

She's an excellent writer, so I really wish I could share your enthusiasm :(

I never read past the first one because of the ludicrous scene where McCoy give Jim a blowjob to orgasm while Jim's driving the motorbike at high speed. Also I spent way too much time being confused about where the bike that he was so attached to came from.

Based on your rec though I've read several more parts and I have to say I don't recognise these characters as the same ones from the end of the movie (maybe they were that angry and immature *before* joining Starfleet and saving the world).

Also, I don't like the attitude that because Kirk has sex he's a "man-whore" or his negative references to not wanting to be like "some emotional woman" or "silly teenage girls". I get the impression this Kirk doesn't really like or respect women.

By part 5 I found myself just counting the swear words, which kind of makes me feel all prudish and judgemental, but REALLY?

No, actually, I can see all your points *grin*

It's good that you can appreciate it for the good parts and the good writing :)

Reading reading!! I love Gravitational Forces to bits :) (and hey, it's through McCoy's eyes, which might contribute to it :D)

I know, it's brilliant! McCoy's line about not having realised Kirk knew the difference between sex and intimacy is CLASSIC.

It's gorgeous. I must read it again *goes to open it*

caitlen June 7 2009, 05:07:35 UTC

OK now I love 16 Things... heapsmasses&lots :D

OK and I really really enjoyed the progression, like you, in "Five Times Jim Kirk...". Just LOVED IT.
