The fire trucks are comin' up around the bend

Okay, while I'm trying my damnedest to get some stuff finished, how about a meme?  Because that will surely help my productivity...  Anyway, I saw this on 1lostone's journal when I was going back through some old posts and I thought I'd steal it.

Give me a link to one of my fics and I'll give you a detail that didn't make it into the fic - it could be ( Read more... )

The W Files:

I rewrote the entire end of this fic -- a couple thousand words -- everything after Chris drunkenly kisses Zach's forehead and calls him a princess. I deleted whatever it was I originally wrote because it was terrible -- I think it was just Chris and Zach trying to have this serious conversation and Chris got really mad at Zach for looking at the porn on his computer. So it didn't fit the tone of the fic AND it was way too talky. In the final draft, I was worried I hand-waved Chris' reaction away to get to the sex a little too quickly, but then I remembered that this was not only fic, but kind of cracky fic at that. So I'm pleased with how it came out. And I still love Zach's line about "big-boobed Swedish lesbians slapping each other with herring (or whatever the hell straight guys wank to)."

I've Got You, Eleven Conversations, or First. Any one is fine by me.

Glad to have you back, darling! Hope your hiatus was good for you! :)

I've Got You:

I really, really felt for Chris after that one Bean posted about the Inishmore talk back where that nasty woman had gone after Chris for his Irish accent. Though I didn't see the show, I imagine he worked very hard on it, and from what I've seen of his work, he's very good with accents much better than Zach, sorry bb, you know I love you. He strikes me as someone who is very sensitive to criticism, but is ashamed about it and thinks he should be tougher. Plus, I just wanted to write some straight-up comfort fic. I really do hope Chris has someone to take care of him, to tell him how awesome he is, because I think he needs to hear it. :o ( ... )

sorry to interfere, but i just had to say something about that accent thing.
i saw the show, and i was amazed how well he was able to pull off an irish accent! i mean, he usually has a very strong californian one, but he did a really good job regardless. so i was really furious when i read about that stupid woman last year :(

Tab A + Slot B

Hee hee, this one was allllll about the research. Seriously, I think I spent more time on the Aneros wiki, reading instructions and testimonials, than I did actually writing the fic. Can you imagine the product testing that went into perfecting that design? "So, Bob, how does that thing feel in your ass?" "Well, I'll tell you, I think we've got the right length, but the head could stand to be a little more bulbous." I've never wanted a prostate so badly, just because I was SO CURIOUS.
