I just realized how very, very easy it would be for me to slash my main character with his archnemesis (if you could even call Lucas that). Great. Now I'm going to have homoerotic subtext rolling around in my brain when I have to write scenes with two characters who look like Dominic Monaghan and a younger Johnny Depp.

And yes, there's a bad side to that mental image. It's distracting, is what it is.

Picking out that icon for this post didn't help me, either. Damn it, I'm only supposed to be writing them running into each other at Wal-Mart where Lucas is buying condoms, for crying out loud!

scariness! Chuckles but these thoughts are just signs that you are doing a good job of crafting characters others will want to write fanfic about!!

I hear Lucas and I think Rory Cochrane.

. . . aaaand now I'm thinking about Rory/Dominic.

[chandri.livejournal.com]

...or Lucas/Charlie.

Damn, that *is* distracting. ;)

[fmith.livejournal.com]

Hey, Lucas. I've decided I'm going to start a band.

The first thing you need is a name. Then you'll know what kind of band you've got.

Right, right. I was thinking about, um, Driveshaft. How does that sound?

*snicker*

[fmith.livejournal.com]

Somebody needs to write that fic.

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Oh bloody hell, now I'm distracted too, and I have work to do.

Grr.

If you're not going to slash your characters then I will, goddammit! Because That's What I Do.

::squints:: Okay, see, somehow? I can't see that. Maybe my slashdar is on the fritz. I mean, with Johnny Depp and Dom Monaghan, all I could imagine are copious bong hits.

Mmmm....bong hits. ::slap::

Maybe if you wrote and posted it, you'd get it out of your system. It's worth a shot, anyway.

Junie,
the wrong kind of helpful.

[thalea.livejournal.com]

I like your kind of helpful.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You realize, of course, that I could just write the slash anyway and count it towards NaNoWriMo, then cut it later.

*steps out of body, turns around, grabs onto own shoulders and shakes like crazy*

Get a hold of yourself, woman! *SLAP*

[gruyere.livejournal.com]

No, dammit, leave the slash for the unofficial fanfic!

[muffytaj.livejournal.com]

That happens to me too ;.; It's so frustrating!

[azurelunatic]

Randy and Chuck from Necromancer's Prayer last year are so, so slashable. Yet they're both painfully heterosexual. *sigh*

Perhaps after it's published I shall create a sockpuppet on ff.net for the purpose of writing slash that Will Never Happen.

[fyrdrakken]

Now there's a thought...

[azurelunatic]

*looks shiftily evil*

[fyrdrakken]

Reminds me of the joking about various shows' writers going on ff.net or wherever after episodes with deliberate subtext air to see what the fans came up with -- or better yet writing the scenes they wouldn't be allowed to air under pseudonyms...

[fyrdrakken]

Having homoerotic subtext will no doubt only improve the scene. And as noted, you can go back and later and "fanfic" yourself with the "missing slashy scenes."

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

Dude, look at it this way. Once the book is published, you can write tons and tons of slashy fanfic under a psued and then snicker when flames roll in to the effect of "OMG [Trollprincess] WUD NVR DO THIS TO HER CARCTERS U SUK HOR1!!!" Tell me that wouldn't be funny.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

*snerk* Now that would be amusing.

And God, would I love to start some wank by talking about the Lucas/Sean subtext until I'm blue in the face. :)

[milkshake-b.livejournal.com]

Apperently you and I share a brain, because I was just about to suggest that.

...hey, are you responsible for the dream involving the sock puppet, Cthulhu, and the sheep?

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

No, but I am responsible for the one with Gonzo and the terrier.

Marvelous icon, there. (I'd almost suggest quoting the song and calling him "an asshole from El Paso," but despite them giving me rather a vibe that he's intended to be Texan (unless they specified and I missed it) I wouldn't want to try to pin down the actual city he's from.)
