Reports from Abroad: Random

[sevendeadlyfun]

You know what throws me out of an awesomely plotted, well-written, intriguing story? Spike saying "Hells yeah". Oh Buffy fandom, can we not get together on this one issue? Can we not agree that Spike, while a master of slang and an aficionado of vulgarisms, would not say "Hells yeah"? Please? For me?

Also, how does this happen to me? I swear, when spankspike was here, she used to do this all the time. She'd go to write some quick PWP and turn it into an epic. Ask her to write a big plotty piece and all she could think of was PWP. I think she passed me her porn curse because my quickie DP threesome comics canon fic? 2200 words and they aren't even all naked yet. OMG. How do I do this to myself?

I started writing it (thank you MS Word for your specificity in record keeping) on October 17. Over two weeks and I'm still not to the pr0n. It's hopeless. And I'm blaming Spanky, because she's not here to make fun of me.

Went to Auchan this Monday. Bought the Monster Boy a Ben 10 toy for Yule. He's quite the little fanboy and I can respect that. Auchan, for my non-Euro flisties, is what is known as an "hypermercato" here. Think...Super Wal-Mart. It's got (at least this one) groceries, clothes, toys, housewares, electronics...you get the idea. It was fun. I still haven't found a stand for the bathroom, but I live in hope (and store my supplies on the precarious sink ledge. UGH).

Also, we have plans to go the Museo di Archaelogico in downtown Naples (Piazza Caravour) on Friday, since he's got the day off school. I will, of course, report back on our adventures.

Also also, DRUSILLA. I loved the two-parter of her whereabouts and doings during the fall. Joss is EVIL, but still. LOVE. Plus, she looked strangely beautiful in this comic and I was immensely pleased. It's much better than they've done in some of the other comics. And I think having Juliet be so involved made the characterization (particularly the dialogue) that much better. To conclude: YAY WIN LOVE.

So let's catch up. How are you? Any fics that are misbehaving, trips you're taking, comics canon you love? Talk to me.

Hey sweetie! First of all, I absolutely agree with you about the "Hells yeah" bit and I'd like to add, "Oh, Gods!" and "Gods, you're beautiful", etc to that if I may.

Next, I completely feel your pain on the story front. Can't count how many one shot porny pieces I've had blossom out of control *coughDaddy'sGirlcough*, so you have my sympathy there. Any chance one of the characters basically ordering another to strip would help?

Haven't had a chance to read comics yet, as it's NaNo, (and I'm technically not even supposed to be on LJ, but I'm ahead on my word count so nyah) but I'll look forward to it in December, particularly with the look at Dru and her activities during the fall.

Misbehaving fic? Absolutely! I'm writing fic for my NaNo, big plotty porny dirtybadwrong epic involving Spike, Angel, and clergy, and the damned bleached blond brat decided to basically throw out the last half of my story the other day! Apparently, he didn't like where I was headed, so he changed it all around, somehow not realizing that it's going to mean lots more angst and pain for him before the end. But that's okay with me, because after he did that to me, I'm definitely down with torturing him :)

Nothing else really to report, just writing and hoping my unemployment comes through or some incredibly wealthy person decides they want to be my patron and enable me to write all the livelong day... anyways, enjoy your trip to the museum, looking forward to hearing about it!

Well if we're going over the list of fanon bits we're over, I'll add in the "MINE" trope. In small doses, I suppose it's okay. But in every fic ever, repeated over and over? Not. Feeling. It.

And yes, I remember when Daddy's Girl went off the rails for you. The weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth...and the million happy sighs from the fandom that it would continue! I guess I should remember that part, too and hope mine gets as positive a response. :)

NaNo porn fic? SOLD. I can't wait to read it, especially the tortury parts! Who knows? Maybe it'll inspire some incredibly wealthy person to employ you as their personal porn writer? Which, as I reflect on it, sounds really icky. I'm all for writing porn and I'm even cool with writing porn for the market. Just, I got this vision of a small room...this sort of porn sweatshop and...eugh!

Glad to see you're keeping your spirits (and Spike's porny goodness) up! And I will get back to you, assuming we go. I was diagnosed with an inner AND an outer ear infection today. So here's to antibiotic pills and ear drops getting me better in time.

*hugs*

I turn my back for a minute (or 215,293 months but why quibble over specifics) and you've lost your ability to spew pwp like the porn goddess I knew in the days of yore. And now I find you're blaming me to boot.

It's hardly my fault if you can't get some folks naked and get 2 cocks shoved in a single hole in a timely manner. I refuse to take any responsibility.

Now if you wanted to blame me for say something like not writing a damn thing in 4 thousand score and 93 mill-centuries (this a technical term of time used by dethroned pron!queens do not judge me!) ... well I could probably accept that. Of course that's because you could clearly claim to be following my path down the road of broken dreams, deceased muses, and escaped/rabid plot bunnies.

But since you do write - well you've got a leg up on me so I can only say that PWP that's supposed to be a novel or PWP that is longer than War and Peace, at least it's writing sister and that's nothing to sneeze at.

Just stopped by to see what you've been up to, find out how tricks and things are - and say I miss you thisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss much. Times infinity.

Now I'm off to answer your comment at my lj. It had been so long since I had one there I wasn't sure what to make of it at first. I had to cut thru a jungle of cobwebs covering my lj just to read it!

PS - Please grope a hot Italian guy for me. I'm sure your husband will fully understand that you hand down some hot guy's pants if not for your pleasure but so that I can live vicariously thru your experience.

I am INDEED blaming you. You left and I cracked under the pressure. I cannot take the insanity of trying to write this story without some awesome Lord and Lady C comic relief. My porn--it is too srs.

SO COME BACK. SAVE ME FROM SRS BZNS PORN. ALSO CAPSLOCK WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE TAKE ME OVER AND NOW I CAN'T STOP.

Phew! That's better. Email me your number so I can call you from my cool internet phone and we can gab about how hot you are and how much I worship you. Also, there are no hot Italian guys. I am too old to find a man on a moped sexy. There's totes an age limit on that and I hit it.
