It's Cool, It's Hot, It's a Relationship, It's Not
It occurs to me, somewhat belatedly, that I haven't done a 'post-SeSa' post. So here it is.
I must thank the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ullman for my wonderful, hilarious story Orange is the happiest color. An awesome job, which made me laugh aloud. Particularly awesome since I have modly insight and am pretty sure it had to be a very late pinch-hit—though I promise, I took great care not to peek at who was doing the job.
I wrote It's Cool, it's Hot, It's a Relationship, It's Not, another take on Letterboys with a side order of Awesome Kevin. Not surprisingly, it probably has quite a bit in common with my previous MTYG Letterboys story "Collaboration". Interesting to note that I was one of very few people to write an actual sex scene this year. Wonder why that is.
I had a very straightforward, entirely do-able request, from a recipient who seemed to want to read the kind of story I like to write, so I thought it would be easy... and it was surprisingly hard to figure out where to start, perhaps because I'd already written my 'ur-Letterboys' story (for JM!). A request with a bump in the road—something that I'd never have thought of writing, if not for the request—is easier to make original (after the initial disbelief, outrage and hair-tearing). Like "post-apocalyptic vampires with romance" or a High School AU featuring two pairings which age-wise, didn't work as they could not have been contemporaries in High School.
I'm most grateful to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nopseud for helping me to figure out what the hell to write...
Huh. It was back in 2007 that I last wrote a SeSa story (actually, two) that didn't involve Backstreet. All my more recent ones have featured Boys, although some have been crossover pairings, and in a couple there has been an Nsync pairing as well. I suppose that may be a feature of the shrinking entry pool for MTYG?
