never will i ever....
do these things as as slash or het writer. If I do, I give open permission to the entirety of the community to have me hunted down and stopped, even if it requires the destruction of my keyboard.
I will never....
...refer to cock as meat. Ever ever ever.
...use the term piss-hole during a sex scene.
...even entertain the concept of semen by the gallon.
...forget that the human body has bones and that does, in fact, limit positions during sex.
...compare the penis to sharpened weaponry. I'm a girl and even I wince thinking about that one.
Trauma comes in many forms. *shivers* I should make someone start pre-reading for me to spare myself the nightmares. Any volunteers?
The Day of Ickiness
Last night, whilst brushing my teeth, I managed, somehow, to rip the suture free.
*wince* I don't use the word 'rip' lightly, either.
Anyway, took the day off and did stand-by at the dentist's, who mulled my pain, checked the healing, gave me some painkillers, and told me not to worry, everything looked just great. I swear, I wish he wasn't an oral surgeon. This is the kind of general dentist I need. He tucked some horrifyingly bad-tasting medicaly stuff into one of the back gums, which brought a relief to pain so fast you'd be shocked.
I LOVE this man.
Writing
Te's kicking and Jaymalea's prodding had an interesting effect--being able to damn well finish something flicked whatever's been off in my head back on, modified.
QaF intimidates me on a variety of levels, simply because it's a damn good show and I don't think I've ever tried to write for a GOOD show. I keep starting, then screeching to a dead stop and stare, thinking, that does NOT work. At all. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to stop after less than a paragraph, simply because I was completely unable to continue. Which is making me grumpy, because, right, I like challenges, but when you can't even get an acceptable first line?
Endlessly frustrating. Gah.
I need more orange juice.

Ouch...and Hi!
From:Just wanted to give you a heads up on the fact that I friended you. I'm really not a stalker...just a really big lurker. New to Livejournal and such so don't have much to say but I love your work and usually check your website once a day. Much sympathy on the sutures ripping. I'm glad your doctor was very nice to you and made you feel okay about the whole thing. Good luck with QAF! I know that you'll get into Justin, Brian and Michael's head soon!

Re: Ouch...and Hi!
From:Me and my sutures are becoming a serious drama here. I should cast them now, give them live time to explain how difficult life is in my mouth.
*grins* Yep, I've been awake too many hours straight.

From:even entertain the concept of semen by the gallon. No fooloing, I had a housemate once who worked as a phone sex operator. She had a client who loved to tell her how much, in volume, he was ejaculating. Sad but true, some people find that sexy. Ew.

From:However, I would've thought QAF would likely be easier to write for, in some ways, than other shows. The characters, while they are distinct and well-fleshed-out, are also very flexible. Like real humans, they aren't one-sided; they each have a wide range of behaviors and emotional postures available to them, good, bad, touching, disgusting, and often paradoxical. The characters are kinda like the show itself, which can go from soapy to sincere and back again several times an episode.
That kind of range, I think, could allow a fanfic writer to relax, to be more accepting of his/her own work, and to explore all kinds of possibilities.
But then again, I don't finish 99% of what I write, so don't listen to me. :)

From:But yes, you are right--these are extremely flexible characters. I probably just need to stop thinking and just jump and risk writing something really bad just to get over the fear of it. And get my feet wet, of course.

From:I'm really sorry about the popped suture. Glad everything seems to be healing okay though, that there's no signs of any infection.
I know what you mean about some of those descriptions. Nothing can throw you out of a story faster than some of that stuff.
Yay! Does this mean the writers block is dissolving? I know how frustrating something like that can be.

From:And yeah--I mean, at least for now, it seems to be dissolving, at least enough for me to take an interest in working on stuff. And yeah, it was frustrating--I'm wondering now if it was affecting my mood or if it was my mood affecting it. Chicken, egg, somesuch. Happier now. Much.

From:They are worse than Smallville when it comes to dates. As matter of fact, once you get to the third season, you start wondering if the writers and/or producers even know the meaning of the word continuity. And some of the dialogue is pure cheese.
::fervently hopes that the above will reduce the intimidation and encourage QAF fic from Jenn::
Although I love the show to death, I can not think of any show that would not be improved by Jenn-fic.

On OC--I keep wishing I'd started watching, considering all the great reviews it's getting. Plus, that guy is hot. Dear God, he's hot. When a commerical comes on, I stop to just watch him.
Hmm. When does it come on again? I keep forgetting to write it down.

Re: *chuckling*
From:*grins*
Okay, have to ask you, since you're fluent. How do I say, If your number is "insert number here", please come to window two?
I've been using "Si tu numero es 'insert number here', va a ventana dos, por favor", which is the go version, but should it be command or not? Or is it supposed to be te numero? Or would come be more appropriate?

Re: *chuckling*
From:If your number is "insert number here", please come to window two?
This sounds like something one might hear at a bank or DMV. You would then use the formal "su" instead of "tu" and --- let me translate here:
Si su numero es "insert number here," pase a la ventana dos, por favor"
Used "pase" instead of "va" since it's what I always hear them say while in line in Mexico.
Finally, I must clear up that I also like you for your missing sock theory. I use it often.
