roxy | yakky time!

Help me oh three or four friends who read SpN fic and in particular, my SpN fic, and narrowing that down even more, comment on the damn things--tell me what I should work on?

1) a J2 AU set in the mid-fifties. Say, how much research do I have to do on city life back then? And can I fuzzy the city? Like, pretendlike it's New York or whatever and "just go along with me on this, guys". Can I do that? I long for black turtle necks and too tight striped polo shirts. Also, there would be a lot of na-na in this story.

2)The Public Enemy one--kind of a cross of Boondock Saints, only no divine mission and a whole lot of psychotic killers and general misbehaving with Warner Bros gangster movies and psycho killers--did I mention that? A little na-na in this one.

3)1) the vaguely western-cowboy-backstory on the Colt fic I've talked about for what, two years? In this story the guys aren't raised together and don't know they're brothers (yeah, cause that makes teh naughty stuff better. Almost totally na-na free, this one.

4) a weird kind of folktale, Manly Wade Wellman x-over but I want

danceswithgary to steer me in the right direction with that one. Wincest with no sex. I know, I know, but not everything needs sticky bits. Ha! I know right???

I've got actual info for Not!Cowboy, vague memories and feelings and a couple of pretty pictures for Beat!J2, and nothing but a lot of love and some of the same info I used for East of The Sun for CrazyInLoveBoys.

I need to be poked and prodded into doing something. I have all these sorta done stories floating around, and I do have a bit more I'd like to do on that Dean/Cas story only trying to write het sex is screwing me up. (Odd, how hard it is to write, considering how much I love it.) RL is sucking the juice out of my brain but I miss being in a nice long story with lots of research and having fun with it.

Help a nice old lady out?

I second the Beat J2 AU because I too have a hankering for some black turtle necks, too tight striped polo shirts, *also* too tight straight leg pants and everybody smoking like a chimney.

*sigh*

*pokes you with blunted stick*

See? I'm nice about it kinda. . . *wink*

Honestly, though, those all sound extremely interesting and I think I can safely say that those of us who do read your SpN fic (and I bet there are more of us than you think, hon) will gladly read *any* of those stories. And I mean *gladly* gladly.

Hee!

Another vote for the J2 AU! The main thing holding me back here is Jensen's character--I'm not sure where to go with him--manwhoor or average working guy? I know I want most of the fic to revolve around a department store and the window dressers and graphic artists who work there--in those days, some big stores had their own graphics department and did their own ads. And window dressing was coming into it's own then. The displays were incredible and the people who did them were well-known. Can't you see Michael as a flamboyant window dresser? Also, there would be a whole lot of making shit up because who would know different??

*GRIN*

Of course, personally, I will always vote for manwhoor (JA's just so goddamn gorgeous! I can't help it!), but it depends on what kind of story you're going for. . .

And: *nods along with you* Mwhahahahaha!

Angst--lots and lots of angst! And I guess it's kind of silly to ask if the manhoor thing's been done to death--I mean c'mon!! Manhoor! What's not to love?? Jensen--Thomas--where's the tired there, hunh?

I'm psyching myself up. *G*

Ooh, Tommy too? I know you said Michael was in it, but I didn't dare to hope. . . You're psyching me up too now!

Yay! So is Sam a window dresser apprentice, or a sales clerk. . . or, oh wait, is that a secret? *bites nails*

I'm all aflutter now, I can't wait!

I'm thinking he works in the graphics dept. and his fiance, Sandy, works with Mike as a window dresser. Mike's involved kind of with Thomas, who's a hustler who thinks he's straight. And it gets more complicated form there. Mind you--not a bit of this is on paper yet.

There's lots and lots of everyone behaving really badly...which probably means folks won't read it. A cheating Jared might turn people off. And of course, there's always my fear of being able to handle a story closer to real life with no fantasy elements to hide behind. *wibble*

Let me just say this:

I absolutely *love* your Lucas. There. So now you *know* I'm gonna read whatever dirtybadwrongunsympatheticperfection that comes out of that crazy-ass noggin of yours, and I'm pretty much guaranteed to love it too!

You don't give yourself enough credit, hon. You'll do wonderfully well, and your readers will love it like we love all your work. Honestly.

DO IT!!! (The caps mean I'm shouting. *wink*)

*meep*!!!

Yes Ma'am!!! One Lucas-level fucked up fic coming up!!

*hughug*

*cracks whip*

*rubs evol paws together evolly*
