Big Pimp and Little Pimp

[vaznetti]

First, the Big Pimp:

monanotlisa and I are organizing an Alias fic exchange for the holiday season, spy_santa. Go read the description and sign up! It will be fun! I know that some of you still have Alias-love, and this is a great way to demonstrate it.

Sign-ups end November 21, and stories are due January 6.

And then, the little pimp:

jennyo is running the Female Character Gen Ficathon. If you've been complaining about the scarcity of gen or the scarcity of stories focused on female characters, this would be your opportunity to do something about it.

Sign-ups end December 6, and stories are due January 6.


I'm planning to do both, and kind of wondering what's happened to me. yuletide, two holiday exchanges, Sark stories for crossovers100 and I still want to write things for 100_women? I've gone crazy, yet again. I need to do real, work-related writing as well.

I think the genfic idea sounds marvelous, but I absolutely have no capacity to write to order which is why I never do ficathons or whatever. Usually I just avoid writing at all : p I will, though, gladly read yours. (I wish someone would write some good “Rome” fic – if you ever find any, will you let me know? ;))

Have you been watching rome_fic? spike21 just posted a nice story (http://www.livejournal.com/community/rome_fic/7033.html) there last night. And musesfool posted a ficlet (http://www.livejournal.com/users/musesfool/990873.html) yesterday, though not in the comm.

Yeah, I just read both of those, and I … just have a very different view of the relationship between the two characters. Not that the stories weren’t well-written, of course.

[nolivingman.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. I have my own issues with Lucius wrt Titus, but I can enjoy almost any well-written fic about my current fandom love.

Heh! Well, I think I was just a little disappointed that the reason Vorenus went to rescue Pullo was because they were in lurve – for one thing because sometimes I like my relationships non-sexual and for another because I think it was vaznetti who very persuasively explained why being the recipient of, err, how do I put this delicately, penetration, was kinda déclassé in Roman times and so it makes me wonder a bit… So I liked both of the stories you mentioned until the end, I suppose. I guess I should insert a disclaimer or something about how I don’t dislike slash in general blahblahhave written some, etc., it’s just in this instance I find it hard to ignore all the reasons why I think it wouldn’t happen. Does that make sense? They were both excellently written stories though and emotionally involving.

You know, I do want to write a historically plausible Lucius/Titus story. Or mostly historically plausible, anyway. Kind of to see whether I can.

[reginaspina.livejournal.com]

Please, please, please do ...

[nolivingman.livejournal.com]

That makes sense to me; no need on my behalf to disclaim.

Come join!

::grinning:: I already write female characters, so, er, no, I don't think I'm signing up. More power to 'em, though! {{{hugs}}}

Evil!

Aw, man, I wish you hadn't posted about the FemGen ficathon, 'cause now I HAVE to sign up for that (even though I'm already freaking over yuletide).

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Gahhh -- why all at once; I'd so write for the FemGenFicathon, but NOT NOW OMG!

[cija.livejournal.com]

All right, I've signed up for spy_santa. I wasn't going to, but I couldn't help myself.

[vaznetti]

Yay!
