Two memes for the price of one.

[stripytights]

The fantastic indiachick tagged me in the 7 by 7 meme. Luckily I only have one relevant WIP that's seven pages long at this present moment in time. It may not ever see the light, but it's really fun to write.

"You could leave it," Jared says, but even as he speaks, he can see Jensen retreat. He's broached the impossible, the thing they never speak of,

Ohhh, I like!

And this That a guide to commas would insert itself into my brain, and make itself at home. YES PLEASE! I perhaps don't get hung up on appearance or descriptors of the characters as much as I should but sometimes I find I can't get passed it because how many times can you say, "XYZ Green eyes!" LOL! All though that is a descriptor for Dean I choose not to add a lot of the time, because I get so sick of people falling back on simple things when they can't find the words. Which sounds harsh I know, but you can describe so many things in fic, don't just stick to his eyes O_O

I once got paid the most amazing compliment on a fic!...

That was CRAZY hot. And what made it even more enjoyable was your great style of writing. You don't use cliche phrases or lapse into the usual descriptions I read of the guys - mainly repeated mentions of eye color. Awesome!

I was chuffed! lol

[stripytights]

That's a lovely compliment!

Yeah, I'm just not into descriptions of physical bodies as opposed to the emotions that people feel on being in contact with them! Good to know that this is something other people can relate to.

I prefer to explain how they feel when the other person is touching them, you get a sense of how a person looks simply from the feel of them :)

dude....i don't really read j2 but i'd read the shit out of this.

Cheers! I wrote a fic about priest Jensen and local boy Jared having sex, and then realised that that wasn't the story I wanted to write. I wanted to write the story about the conflict between genuine faith and the physical world, how there's no easy or simple answer to it.

I didn't know you write a lot of religious imagery! As evident from the seven line meme :D That's so cool! Also, I'm stealing the second meme.

I love your list of things you don't do. I'm with you on all of those.

[stripytights]

Religious imagery worms its way in a lot, I think it's a peril of being raised Catholic. I'm more at risk from it sneaking in through word choice/way of speaking though. Then I have to go back and excise "On the third day, he rose again, and made breakfast."

[dear_tiger]

:D That cracked me the hell up.

I love writing memes - I love to learn about everyone else's writing, and then try to figure out my own more. Very cool!!!

[stripytights]

They're brilliant for that aren't they? I really enjoy seeing everyone else's writing process.

The thing I usually take away (and love) about your writing is the subversive comment. A lot of your work is tilting at windmills
Unfair scenarios, inequity. Love that.

And this!!!!! That a guide to commas would insert itself into my brain, and make itself at home.
Oh man! I am so with you on this one. I seem to be impervious to comma logic. : (

[stripytights]

Thank you for saying that - it's a concept that's very close to my heart so I appreciate it <3

Commas are bastards. Little bastards that are utterly impervious to any kind of reasonable logic.
