my bum still remembers the pain

[pez]

Trying to find Alanis Morrisette's "Surrendering" to listen to, but imeem doesn't have the full length song and last.fm is filtered by work. Can anyone help?

Reading The Angel's Game rather slowly. Did get to sit down on a bum-hurting corrugated beam for an hour to read yesterday because the trains ground to halt after someone got killed on the line, but other than that it's the usual little bits of reading to/from work. I'm not nearly as taken with David as I was with Daniel and Fermín in The Shadows of the Wind, but it doesn't seem like the author was trying to create the same mood anyway. The story has a slow start but it's picked up now and it's making me really wonder about a few things. It's interesting.

Captured by that strange, weird, dark hole named "I just finished a long fic". There are other things to do, of course, but the withdrawal, oh. I think I want to write a gothic or mafia-ish story now. Or Locke Lamora in space. Except that'd require me rereading the two novels first and I'd rather tell other people *eyes a certain housemate* to write it so that I can read.

Fic is going to be called [Siege and Surrender] (or maybe [Siege/Surrender] is more fitting) unless I can come up with anything better. I'm going to post a chapter a day, perhaps. giving_ground did offer to beta it (bless!) but considering the length and the fact that she doesn't have that much free time, unless anyone here is really bored and really wants to beta a TLR long fic, I'll just go over it myself quickly, post and hope it's all right. I just can't make myself ask people to do this for me, especially since everything I get people to do for me, I demand speed. Efficiency rules a large part of my life, although the rest of it is about doing absolutely nothing.

With the risk of sounding selfish, I think you'd do a great job with Locke Lamora in space. I have no idea what you have in mind it involves sap, a great deal of swashbuckling and possibly space monsters. As for other people I think they might be stuck on girl!porn. I fear something will have to be done to make them write anything at all. *considers*

(Yes, I'm having a commenting day today XDD )

Thanks! Everything is better if it is in space. XD It'd likely be that "Locke Lamora in Firefly setting" mentioned a long time ago. It will be absolutely bloody brilliant! But I remember so little about the details of both that I must reread and rewatch, which will take far too much time.

What must one do to make other people write? Must I confiscate a certain photobook and threaten never to return it? =_=

[firescribble.livejournal.com]

I know very little about Firefly but it sounds brilliant just the same.

That might work. Torture is always an option. You could threaten to sneak gluten into their food. Or lure them into a challenge.

It will involve Locke getting naked and sitting down in the middle of nowhere, muttering to himself. >D Yes, it will be glorious.

Hmmmm, but historically, I have never been good at luring/threatening other people into writing anything. I think your expertise is required.

[firescribble.livejournal.com]

He. Hehehehehe.

Maybe a joint effort? Granted, I'd like Locke Lamora and girly things. There has been talk of a crossover. Maybe that's the way to do it.

Wellll..... I guess Locke could be tricked into a showdown with a female villain dressed in a penguin suit & top-hat? 8)

Female Sanada?

God FORBID! DX

[firescribble.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly >_>

[firescribble.livejournal.com]

Actually I was thinking of making Lady Oscar (and possibly everyone from oniisama e) into a pirate, for the typical Locke Lamora lesbian pirate orgy. I've even considered female!Jean. IMAGINE THE BOOBS.

But your idea works too.

"Yup. That went well!"

Other people are having fun with their girl!porn though. :(

[firescribble.livejournal.com]

There is no need to pick one. You can do girl!porn AND Locke Lamora. I think it's tie you up and make you write time again. Don't worry, we'll feed you and pet you.

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

Ooh, goodie! :D ...I don't know about the feeding bit right now. ;;;;

*grin* I liked that episode. And that idea sounds absolutely brilliant.

"Yup! That went well." XDDDD
