It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I got my assignment! And almost freaked out because the only fandom I had offered to write for was all the way at the end. But it's a good one!

This is exactly what happened with my assignment!

Aaaand I should probably write my "Dear Yuletide Author" letter, huh?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm quite pleased with my assignment as well. Now I just have to think of what the hell I'm going to write.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I got my assignment.

I... AHAHAHAHAHA.

Yeah. This is going to be bad for my health.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

and then Sail provided baldly heretical links to ZenKitty.

Which I read heretically and enjoyed in the same way.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Belatedly, it occurs to me to ask, what pushes a fandom towards cute ship names instead of pairing smooshes? (Brought to you by an attempt to parse "Frostiron.")

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What fandom is that?

Avengers. I assume it's Loki/Tony.

Stark and Emma Frost apparently had a thing in the comics at one point (or at least were retconned as having had one), so it could be that too.

I admit that I love "Stark Spangled Banner". Both the cutesy name and the 'ship. I don't buy it, really, but it's fun.

Yep. I have friends who write it.

Personally, I don't get cutesy pairing names OR horrible portmanteaus, but I'm willing to accept that I may be the cranky one on this.
