so you see, this explains everything

Note for the future: find a better way to do author sign-ups. Just--so that is out there. Find a better way to do them. And there are more this year, which I verified by going to look and yes, of course intellectually I know a challenge has a period of years of escalation before they reach terminal and either plateau or slowly and painfully die, but--still.

That is so freaking cool. Don't mind me. I'm petting my challenge and not reading the first ones up until I get through page ten on author sign-ups. That's my reward for being good and doing my work. I am very motivation-oriented.

Right.

DVD Commentary Challenge

DVD Commentary Challenge is up and running. There's been one significant rule alteration that is just basically a way to get more commentaries mentioned this weekend. If you are interested in participating or simply wish to look at the all the posted commentaries so far--yes, there are people who have already posted them. I love my life!--mosey to the community, dvd_commentary.

Dead Letter Variations Challenge

We have a month left until the end of the Dead Letter Challenge, so you have plenty of time to kill a character and write a letter. Rules are fairly loose--I want an epistle and I'm not picky how dead they are to get it. Read the rules, ponder universal mysteries, be morbid.

Well, That's It

I have no plans to be interesting for at least, uh, a month. I am, however, attempting to write porn and rediscovering the fact that doing it in a new fandom is hideously embarrassing. Wait, just think about it. It's like dating, you know? Writing porn isn't necessarily a commitment--whee boy, would I be a hell of a fandom slut if that were true--but it's a fairly large fannish step. Actually, for me, when I'm willing to mutilate anyone, it's a marriage, but just go with the metaphor. This is the part where you have to you know, hope that thing you learned in that last fandom with your tongue and the electrical outlet isn't considered all icky. What if no one else does that? Does that make you a pervert? Yes, actually, but we celebrate that. What if everyone does it up against a wall with a carrot? Christ, I hope not, I can't face organic vegetation. It's like this with every fandom. Especially with one who has had ten million partners before you or so the archive seems to imply.

(You know the worst? QaF? Full freaking panic attack; I mean, you really can't beat canon unless you--well, you can't. There were canonical orgies, kink, and drug use and prostitution. I mean, people, there's a reason I tried het there. That was edgy and kinky and weird.)

dS == easiest fandom in the galaxy? y/y?

Welcome to my Monday. It's actually not too bad.

argh

Fraser on safe sex:

Fraser's stretched out on his stomach on the floor inches away from Dief, both of them staring at each other with a weird intensity.

"Didn't you do your dominance thing last night?" Ray asks, wanting coffee before trying to work out what this is. Much less--much less anything else. The back of his neck feels hot, and he can't help touching it, like Fraser left a mark there he could feel.

"We're having an argument," Fraser says tranquilly, chin on folded hands. "Regarding the consequences of foolish actions."

Dief snorts. Fraser rolls his eyes. "That won't be a problem for us," he answers firmly as Ray gets coffee and takes a drink. "I can't get Ray pregnant."

Ray swallows fast, leaning over the sink until he can breathe again.

"Or become pregnant," Fraser adds, to be complete about it.

I can't even tell where I was going with that. *facepalm* See, all it was? This thing with like, an axe and some--I don't even know. But it's almost twenty thousand words, it still doesn't have an ending, and I can't even prove it has a plot. I think there's snow and Frobisher. Yeah. No, not like that.

So basically, this is the only part of it I like. Likely, it's the only part anyone will ever see.
