Miscellanea, and fanfic meme

[pensnest]

Oh, boy. I am part-way through this thread on Etiquette Hell, and am already crying with laughter. It is *gross* in the extreme, featuring a grape-sized tick full of blood, a dead body with detached head, a projectile-pooping baby, dog vomit with little red eyes in it, and many more. If you have a strong stomach, it is hilarious.

Beast had a new mouse delivered this morning. From the size of the box, it ought to have been a rat, probably a rat in a cage. But it is a fancy mouse with an array of thumb-buttons, that he may improve his healing stats. Actually, it ought to have been a rat - mice seem to be made to fit feminine hands, and I feel sure they'd be more comfy for men if they were a bit larger. Odd, that.

Forgot to do a fanfic meme post yesterday, so here's two days.

Day 20: Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?

Lamp fic. Nuff said.

And I do get ideas spinning off from other people's stories, but whether I've written any such, I can't remember—apart from Remix, of course. I probably have.


21 – Sequels – Have you ever written a sequel to a fic you wrote, and if so, why, and if not, how do you feel about sequels?

Yes, a few. The Chronicles of Lancyn and Ser Chrisfer started out as a response to a prompt on fic_requests, and then I embarked on the fanfic100 challenge and thought, I could do more with those two, and filled a bunch of fairly trivial prompts, and gradually began writing more seriously and at length about their adventures. It's quite a long 'episodic' series now.

There was an AJ/Lance fic which got a very belated sequel, as did my Lance is impregnated by an alien and gives birth to sushi ficlet (of course); Prone, one of my first Dragon stories, eventually acquired both Prologue and Epilogue, and Shiny Teeth which I thought (hah!) was going to be my only vampire opus got a sequel, Bite.

There's also my Lance Bass/Adam Lambert Bouquet universe, which has quite a bunch of stories in it now, basically because I fell in love with the pairing and have just kept writing it. Most recently they had a threesome, which was fun.

Wat? Rats fit perfectly well into feminine hands! You just have to support the hindquarters with one hand, see, and then support their front half with the other hand. Scritches optional but usually well-accepted.

Oh.

I've been reading that thread on and off all day now, and laughing often.

It's also amazing what people will admit to when they're on a forum like that.

I am just dying for the next installment of the Bouquet universe, please say that something new will becoming out this summer. This has become my favorite Lance pairing of all time. And you are the only one that feed that addiction for me:)

It's such a shame I haven't managed to inspire somebody else to write them, too! I do have another couple of ideas in my head, though I'm not sure quite when they are going to emerge—but thank you for the encouragement.
