When you disguise whispers as screams.

so, I was just rambling at myself, trying to understand the difference.

Why is it I condemn some authors, but then raise others up?

Take Little Red (whom I was babbling to the cat about). She writes fluff. Sappy fluff. Full of squishyness and I love yous and cuddles and snuggles. What makes Little Red fic so much better than the hundred or so authors who do similar things?

ok. So, I was also talking to the cat while I fed her. ANYway.

The difference is in the phrasing. The way the narrative tugs you along. In Little Red fic, there's this abrupt sense when you get to the end. You cry, because it's OVER. And it shouldn't be. There should be more, because the characters were painted, drawn and quartered so finely, that you saw them. You saw Daniel, Janet, Sam, Liz, Teal'c, Jack, Shep, etc, etc. And you want more, because in turn, the words evoked so many images. And such rich character that you don't want it to stop.

It's the difference between. oh...

Debbie Gibson's "One Hand, One Heart" (And I need to find the lyrics for posting just to annoy people on the List) and Nickelback's "Feeling Way Too Damned Good".

They're both SAPPY as hell. But where DG is all stupid sweetness, Nickelback is all Stupid!Cute.

Hrm.

Am cold. *gets Liz blanket*

I suspect I also have a kink for NOT speaking. Take, oh, Ellyfic. SO MUCH of her stuff is unspoken dialogue. It's phrases and turns and looks and touches that build on each other, until you're slammed into the present with, with.. *flails*

*eyes the cat*

I suspect I needed to ramble about good fic for a bit. Hrm.

hrm...

So, having scared Claira off by trying to decide about Marya's motivation in BSG, I now turn to other thoughts.

I declare tomorrow Make Fools of Porn Day. *handwave* Some of you may recall November of last year. The Blackest of Days (or whitest, depending on your pov) became Make Porn Not War....

Give 'em to me, baby. (almost) any fandom, pairing, whatever. I'll do OT5, orgies, masturbation and everything in-between. Children and incest need not apply.

Quotes, pairings (no amalgamated names this means you, Canth), a phrase, one word, two... I'll turn around and shove out anything from 100 to *checks* 1000 words. It might not always be porn, it might not always be good.

*flexes fingers*

sin city

OMG. So. FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.

To the man who had his TWO YOUNG CHILDREN with him: PLEASE DIE.

And, as proof that I am NOT completely straight, there were a lot of very pretty naked breasts in Sin City. *happysigh*

omg. Now have BSG/Sin City crossover idea. Can't explain. Spoilers!

(no subject)

omg....

I have no brain left.

Sin City/Galactica crossover.

For the record, the Fic requests are still half-finished, since I wasn't home all day to do any of them. Although most are ending up not porn. Hrm. I think my brain is objecting to similarity in porn. It does this every few weeks.

INSTEAD!

I give you:

Disclaimer: Neither are mine, omg.
Rating: Not for kiddies, but nothing as violent as, say, Sin City...
Set: Into Kobol's Last Gleaming part 2.
SPOILER WARNING: ALL of Battlestar Galactica season one. Sin City: the first scene of the movie.
Notes: I saw Sin City this afternoon, and this idea WAS ALREADY THERE before I watched Kobol 2. I was just able to adjust it accordingly. Exactly 600 words long.
