Swimslash, Gravity's Bringing Us Down 2/3

[thorne_scratch]

Oh my God, I fucking suck, this was supposed to be done over a year ago. To be posted in three parts.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

also every time you wrote 'mate' I automatically flipped it to a crazy ocker Australian accent in my head which means that you TOTALLY SUCK AUGH ;P

[thorne_scratch]

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

I think I actually ran most of the Australian dialogue by Patrick to make sure it wasn't a terrible stereotype. ("Do you use the word 'bloody' or is that just a British thing?" I asked him. "We use it all the bloody time," he assured me.)

NEXT TIME YOU WILL BE MY AUSTRALIAN-PICK.

[velithya]

I love that icon so hard :3

We do use bloody all the bloody time! Well, people other than me do, but then I've been picked for Canadian a bunch, so! ;)

NAWWW YOU SAY THE SWEETEST THINGS

Ian Thorpe posing as a gangster delights me almost as much as Michael Phelps with scales on his dick.

I am glad! Because Patrick has been known to lie to me about Australia before, and it is comforting to know that it was not a lie. Having heard you speak, I really... don't know where those people are getting Canadian from, because you sound completely Australian to me, but hey. Who knows.

DON'T CELEBRATE TOO SOON, I'M ALSO GOING TO TOTALLY MAKE YOU REVIEW BITS OF SCALY DICKS STORY FOR AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHIC ACCURACY.

wow auwsome and incredibly funny !

[thorne_scratch]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

[caly_queen]

Awesome. I remember reading the first part back in the day. (Not that far back, but you know what I mean)
I'm glad you updated. And I can't wait for the next part. :)
By the way.
The McDonalds conversation, and the body shots thing was pretty awesome.

[thorne_scratch]

(Not that far back, but you know what I mean)

Nah, it's all good. It's been a year, so I am hideously embarrassed about that, but I've gone WAY longer between updates before. Let us hope that does not repeat. Thanks, and I'm really glad you liked it!

For the record, I agree with Aaron when it comes to the McDonalds argument :)

[caly_queen]

No need to be embarrassed. At least you continued. I'm known for starting stories, and not finishing. EVER! Which is why I don't write.
You're welcome. I can't wait for the next part.

And yeah I totally understand the logic in Aaron's argument.

[thorne_scratch]

Well, I do save the majority of my shame for the scaly dick story, which is massive and cracked out and contains... uh, well, it's all fiction anyway. Oh, but you should write anyway! The fandom needs more writers.

For real. Mayor McCheese is ineffectual at best.

[jcalanthe]

Oh, this is so awesome! I friended you to follow your swimslash, so I'm delighted to see more of it, especially without having to wait for the next Olympics to inspire you!

[thorne_scratch]

Thanks! Oh God, no, I promise not to take until the next Olympics. I have a ton of things on the backburner; 2009 just turned out to be a shitty year in general, but in particular for writing.

[glass_moment]

Wow, I found this super late, but it did give me the opportunity to go back and reread the first part. This just continues to be awesomely hilarious! As everyone else has said, the dialogue is absolutley amazing, bravo.

[thorne_scratch]

No worries! I'm pretty sure it doesn't count as late if I haven't actually finished the story. I'm glad you like the dialogue; it's my favorite part to write!
