I think the four fine! five! most dangerous words you can think while writing are "Wouldn't it be funny if..."

I am not sure yet, but I think this is the first time I have used that phrase four separate times to justify plot points that I know for a fact are truly hideous on their own and I'm stacking the suckers together like some kind of insane layer cake of fail. And it's only eighteen pages so far.

At this point, it's almost a challenge. I mean, if I throw in mpreg and Merlin crying and cutting himself (maybe at the same time!), I'd argue this may be the greatest badfic ever written. I mean, I've always wanted to be the best, and I feel this kind of objective is worthy of achievement.

It's been a very long week. That's the only reason I can find that I am reading this and finding it awesomely hysterical and not, like, deleting it and pretending it doesn't exist. And people, I rarely like my own fic at this stage, so something is very wrong.

Tomorrow is Friday. Friday. Friday. Friday.

Oh, jenn, step away from the computer screen, put your head between your knees, and just breathe.

Alternately, I can try to write you cheerup fic snippets again. ;)

It's not badfic until it reaches this level (http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2009/03/05/review-knight-moves-by-jamaica-layne/).

Honestly, if you make any mention of "codpieces" and "his glans is sweating buckets of happy juice"... then I will personally bake you a batch of brownies AND cookies and deliver them.

mpreg and Merlin crying and cutting himself (maybe at the same time!)

Like cutting himself to get the baby out? *encourages you shamelessly*

Sure! Works for me. Arthur almost kind of has the teeth for it.

But is Arthur sparkly enough?

...Ooo, or that could be where Merlin comes in. He makes with the magic jazz hands to cover Arthur in sparkles.

...OK, that did not come out like I meant it to.

Arthur could totally be sparkly enough.

He'd also totally watch Merlin sleep.

Your tears are magical, you know. Only YOUR TEARS can save Merlin's baby!

Which means that making you cry is totally a public service. :D

OH MY GOD SHUT UP NO. MAYBE. I DON'T KNOW. HE HAS MAGIC. HE CAN FLOAT THE BABY OUT OR SOMETHING.

Don't forget the MarySue figure who saves him at the last moment and shows him and Arthur the way to True Gay Love...then it will be the greatest badfic ever written. :P

Also, Friday is AWESOME!

HI, on the subject of GOOD fic (cliches are the best, and oh wow, please do not put mpreg AND Merlin crying and cutting himself, because I would totally love the second but not the first AT ALL) did you get my email? I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS HELPFUL. I NEED TO BE HELPFUL, in order for my existence to be valid or something. Was I helpful? BE HONEST.

Shame is for people who have yet to embrace their innermost AWESOMENESS. I firmly believe this.
