I feel like sulking prodigiously for reasons that have to with my realization that I have a really mundane fantasy life. I mean, catch this, some people are undead shaman-wizards and...

Oh, should I stop there?

Level with me; are we doing this wrong? I mean, I'm just saying my imagination feels inadequate and that is the penis size of the fandom world, if you will forgive the patriarchal aspects and stop to visualize that for a second, because seriously, it's hilarious.

I'm not sure where I was going with this, but I am just saying I do not feel virile anymore. Or--okay, yes, I googled that, right word, possibly context is creepy and--well, wrong, but I have been dealt an emotionally challenging blow. Did you not see comparisons to penises?

*curls up* Hate.

Well, you know what they say: it's not the meat, it's the motion.

Given a porn schlong that dicks people over and average sized cock that shows people a really good time, I'll choose the joe-average cock every time.

I don't know; I think the existence of mpreg as a genre argues a preference for bigger.

From: [identity profile] ladyvyola.livejournal.com Date: 2009-12-28 07:10 pm (UTC)
Not bigger. Just really well-aimed.

being attacked by a 16th century undead shaman wizard is no laughing matter, Jenn.

if it were a 17th century undead shaman wizard, that'd be different.

although if you are having problems with virility I believe writing an AU where Adam Lambert is a Vulcan would help!

See, though - they're taking pictures of their small-to-average e-dong and photoshopping them into something considerably bigger. You can tell it's shopped, but that's not stopping them from waving it in your face.

Your metaphor is awesome in new and exciting ways.

*thoughtful* Would that make crazy wankas the metaphorical equivalent of /b/tards, then? Or goons? This comparison is going to break down somewhere inconvenient, I can just tell.

Verbostile dysfunction: no laughing matter.

Honestly? I don't think undead shaman-wizards are a sign of imagination. More like a sign of tossing a bunch of potentially awesome words into a random phrase generator, and hitting "go".

Elven ranger-warrior.

I have to say that I never thought I'd see the day when a fan lapsing in and out of a coma and signing stories to her brother would be considered boring.

Oh, God, it was some woman in Sentinel fandom (whom I think we later suspected was a sock of someone else at that). Iris something, I think? She was reportedly in a coma, although I forget the cause. First her brother found a notebook with stories, then she was out of the coma and unable to talk but signing fiction for her brother to transcribe and post, and then back in the coma, and it just got crazier and crazier. The brother and his boyfriend became major figures in the story, too, and someone wrote RPS about them. It was this bizarre combination psuedicide and a neverending flow of fiction.

LMAO. Oh I so needed that!

If your .. um.. equipment isn't 'up' to the challenge, there's always that little blue pill. Perhaps writing is like design, and simply needs the addition of a good glass of something plus some random images to get the creative juices flowing? I've had my best ideas while under the rather gentle influence of a glass or two of port...

the fannish equivalent of viagra

Yuletide or the other, similar challenges, I would think.

Or perhaps the allure of Yuletide is not so much Viagra as a beach full of pretty people, tempting us to stray outside our comfort zones with hopelessly optimistic thoughts of discovering new loves.
