Oh noes! tempted by smarm
Having now learned the fannish meaning of "smarm", have urge to write it. Giles/Buffy smarm. Giles/Xander smarm. Core Four smarm. Heh. I enjoy making you hate me. Or making you read things that you'd have thought you'd hate just by definition. I've still got this campaign to take every fanfic cliche I can wrap my head around and write it. And make you like it. Can you list the ones I've done already?
I have many story ideas loaded up in my head at the moment. Probably I'm going to have to hold off on all of them until I can fire one at my B/G ficathon assignment, whatever that turns out to be. 21 signups, yay! The ficathon organizer's curse is to always give him or herself the hardest assignment to match; I just have to hope one of the rounds I already have chambered will work for whatever I end up giving myself.
Plus there is another project percolating, a bit longer-term in scope.
Your random link for the day: most wanted and most unwanted music. With recorded examples.
Meme-age, because I am stuck in my hotel room and not yet sleepy at all: If you had me under your command and could make me write anything, regardless of whether or not I know the fandom or if anybody even writes fic in that fandom and no matter how crack-addled it might be, what would you love to see me write?

I've got a nice long plane flight tomorrow, but I think I will be spending it entirely rewriting a bit of Giles/Ethan h/c smuttishness that's been playing in my head for a few days.
If you do write it - and I firmly believe you should - please promise me you won't have two men French kissing and declaring their love in florid terms and then try to claim there's nothing slashy about it? Because that concept makes my brain 'splode.
As for what if I could mind-control you into writing whatever I want...I firmly believe there needs to be more Puppet!Porn in the world. I would mind-control you into writing a Thunderbirds/Puppet SG-1 crossover simply because I could.
Or else, you know, more B/G semi-plotted smut in a vanilla with sprinkles kind of way. I'd be more than happy with that, too.
French-kissing is right over the line into actual slash for me, I think. Actually, I think I've written smarm, sort of. My own Giles/Xander friendship post-"Becoming" story strays in that direction. Non-sexual snuggling qualifies, right? What I need are more examples in fandoms that I have a clue about.
Puppet porn. OMG. All that brings to mind for me is the puppet!sex scene in Team America: World Police, the uncut version. Which is the sort of thing that, having seen, one cannot unsee. Much as one might wish to.
If Da Wench gets you to write puppet!porn, I will laugh and crow with victory. Beware, she's good. I know.
I agree that there is not enough PuppetPorn. I think you could rip into the X-Files and dissect those characters for years.
