So, instead of writing, I've spent the better part of the day reading a honking big ole story that most of the time has me scratching my head going, "Oh? really? Hunh." And I just can't stop. Somebody, make me stop.

Man, I hope folks aren't looking over my shoulder going, what teh efff? on what planet do the boys act like that? But no, seriously you guys, I have a reason for why they act like they do in every story I write, really. Well, except for Whit. And Wade. And I like to think I've just made Pete a little more interesting. Also, I declare Lucas is totally in character, no matter what I have him do. Lana, I've gone both ways, good and bad, but the most fun I had was writing her as Pete's girlfriend in BOS.

Ah, the telling of a story...s'mores and campfires, broken hearts and bloody hooks...I love everything about it!

Hmmm. As you know, I've spent quite a lot of time reading SPN & J2 stuff, and LOTS of it is so ooc it makes my head spin. But. When it's a good writer, I can believe a heck of a lot, even if the core characterization is different than what I tend to think of it as. That goes even more so for AUs--in my opinion, believability in those is all about writing skill. And that, my dear, you have by the truckload. So, though I can't vouch for all of your AUs, due to my prolonged Smallville fic hiatus, I can say that in every story by you I've ever read your characterization has made sense to me, and has not made me roll my eyes and wonder what crackpipe you were smoking--unlike many other authors I've read recently.

Oh, p.s., in reference to our conversation a while back about J2 authors turning TW and MR into total jerks: there's a recent bigbang story, "The Wall," where TW has a fairly sizeable role, and while it looks initially like he's being written like a jerk, I think you would really like the resolution. Also it's a very sweet and romantic story. (Though if you have limited time, I'd read "Any Road will get you there," which is just an adorably sweet J2 epistolary romance, complete with hilarious LOLcats--and all the CW supporting cast are completely nice and not evil).

Edited because I can, actually, speak English. When I pay attention, anyway.

*clings to you* You say things that make my heart soar!

OMG! I just read "Any Road"! And I'll definitely check out the Wall--those RPSers are getting on my nerves so bad, bad-mouthin' my boys, I'm about to write my own, lol!

There's a fic I lost, and I wish I could find it again, mostly because they write Thomas a little like a douche and call him Big Tommy. *happy sigh* I only got a bit into the first chapter and lost it. (you know how i do...)

Well, there's always spnstoryfinders

Wasn't "Any Road" just tons of fun? I don't usually even like LOLcats, but all the silly graphic stuff just cracked me up. Especially the proof that Jensen was the ginger cat.

AWWWW! POOR THOMAS!!! He was so cute--I really appreciated that she was nice to himm in the end!

How come I can read romances like this and adore them, but make it a guy and a girl and I'm all "YAWN."

But then again, I'm reading, and I'm seeing those eyelashes, that nose, that pretty, pretty man...
