Time to waste time!

TEF ch3 I did work on it today, yay. MEME TIME.

Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make it onto the page.

God, I'm really going to have to dig deep into my brain for some of this stuff. Drabbles are obviously excluded, since... they're like, five sentences long most of them D:

Your icon. So much win.

Much like Fashion Sense cemented my characterization of Bubbles (even though you don't get that whole sense of her character from the v. short fic), Swordplay was the one that cemented the Greens', um, totally fucked up relationship. Stemming off of that fic were a slew of attempts to write really dysfunctional smut!fic involving the two, particularly where Buttercup was the instigator. It kinda spiraled off of where Swordplay was going at the end, where Buttercup turns into this sinister, manipulative woman, and pretty much fucks up Butch's sanity in the process. Or his shreds of it.

The fic ideas themselves though always came out too melodramatic, and all the sex scenes got old real quick (MUCH LIKE REAL PORN, INTERESTING), so they never became full-fledged fics. At least one of them (wait, maybe two) will make it as "totally fucking rejected" posts at some point, when I stop being lazy.

For the record, TEF... well, TEF's a little different because of where I'm putting them mentally... gah, you'll see. (I AM TRYING NOT TO SPOIL THINGS.)

:DDD

Wow. Yeah, man, this is really interesting because Swordplay is pretty much the definitive fic in which I base my characterizations of the Greens. It was the first thing of yours that I read and left me with my jaw on the floor. Set the bar, y'know? It's like you took key elements of their characters and pushed in deep to get to the absolute grit, laying their 'relationship' spread and like, raw. Which turned out to be ...y'know, totally fucked up, but in the hottest possible way.

I'm actually kind of glad it wasn't porn (NOT THAT I WOULD OBJECT TO ANY TFR POSTS, 'CAUSE ...DUDE. GREENS DRAMA. UNF) because this way, I think it has more of an impact. It leaves you biting your lip and wanting to just read it over and over again.

*flails* MY THINLY VEILED IMPATIENCE, LET ME SHOW YOU IT. *flails some more*

DAWWWWW

Seriously, thank you for that whole "jaw on the floor, set the bar" bit. I am full of sheepishness and humility. Swordplay was the first fic where I was really, truly satisfied with what I'd written, and despite some minor grievances I have with the dialogue, that's one of the few where I look back and say, "Wow. That came out of me 8O" with a positive connotation. So it's particularly rewarding when someone digs it (OR BASES THEIR OWN CHARACTERIZATIONS ON IT AND THEN WRITES SOMETHING AMAZING LIKE THIS (http://spleneticfizz.livejournal.com/1447.html), SERIOUSLY IT STILL FLOORS ME).

In short, er, thank you and yay!
