what makes me happy

It's been kind of crappy in roxyland lately, stuff happening, me being an asshole--it's not been pretty. but there's something that makes me happy, shallow and self-centered it may be. What the hell--it makes me smile. At the AO3, (yes, my happy place--well, my alternate happy place) This story, The Persistence of Vision which some of you might remember, has gathered 99 hits. Why, you ask, does such a paltry collection of hits make you happy MizzRose? Well, I'll tell you. I didn't expect anyone to read a seriously dub-con Lex/Whitney story. I've written Clark/Whitney because it's almost logical, right? But Lex and Whit, not so much. As it turned out, they worked pretty well, even without sandwiching Clark between them (can i get a OT3?)

Also, omg, how did I not know I spelled persistence wrong??!!! How did no one tell me...*headslap*

'xuse me while i whip this spellcheck out...BRB

Okay! So, I was going to go on about why I thought Lex and Whit worked so well, but it boils down to Whit being the ultimate victim in my canon, and for reasons that have more to do with me and not the Show. That's part of the fanfic fun, though, right, twisting canon in a way that people will accept. In our world, if you say it often enough, it becomes true. Oh, wait a min, that's pretty much a universal, isn't it? *G*

Here's to hoping LJ will someday cough up my notifications, and lets me post shit.

Oh, fuck, I remember that story now! (Just went to refresh my memory and left you some kudos.) Man, I need to reread that sucker! It was pretty twisted as I recall, but then when is your work not deliciously warped (and you know I say that from a place of absolute love)?

I'm sorry Life seems to be sucking right now. It has a bad habit of doing that, doesn't it? Let me know if I can do anything.

Also, I second that motion for the SV OT3! As long as it involves Lex&Clark, and doesn't include Oliver (or Lana, come to think of it) in any capacity, I'm for pretty much any OT3 imaginable. Of course, you know my personal SV OT3 of choice, but yours here is really just as pretty and succulent. XD *throws confetti for no other reason than that you need some happy spontaneous nutjob-ery in your life right now. . . and it's sexy OT3 confetti, so what's not to like, right?*

*hugs*

It was a little twisted. Okay, a LOT twisted, man, why do I always think my stuff is so vanilla? I mean, in terms of naughty sex acts it is (i've been to the spn kink meme, omg) but in terms of headology, it's very twisted, hunh? And me so well adjusted and stuff.

I'm so sorry for my flist--all my friends seem to be suffering all varieties of bad things and honestly, I've run away from them. I feel bad but I also feel kind of overwhelmed and I don't know what to say. I don't want to whine about my stuff because I'll only deflect any sympathy--you know how I do, great emotional lummox that I can be.

I think there always has to be an OT3, and there can only be Clark, Lex, and never Oliver, that just doesn't work. Lex would *never* fuck Oliver, not with Clark, not for any nice reason. And Lana is just wrong with any of them.

Wheeee!
Congratulations!

LJ is being a huge *pill* today. Man.

Lex/Whit is a great pairing! :-)

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2011-11-29 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I know! They're so beautiful together--as your icon plainly shows! Clark and Whit are gorgeous together too, the only thing that's better is Lex/Clark/Whit! :)

I hope things get better in Roxyland!

Eric has made new fans with Rookie Blue - maybe they're finding their way to SV Whitney fic! You'll get them hooked :)

you have no idea how many times I tried to respond to this and LJ would not let me. My response pretty much boiled down to Eric is almost as hot as the sun(Thomas wins that slot), Whit and Clark together is blinding. :)

I remember reading that fic, but not exactly what happened. *makes note to re-read* *g* So love that I can download it at AO3. It'll be next on my list of fics to read now. hee!

If it wasn't for you, I would not be addicted to Whitney and Eric as much as I am. :D I'm glad your fics are getting the appreciation they deserve at AO3. :D

I'm sorry to hear roxyland hasn't been a happy place lately. Hope things start looking up for you. *hugs* ♥ *smooches*

My darling one, hopefully LJ will let me respond now, grrr!

I just did a quick run through AO3, downloading SV fics, wo-hoo! It's the best and in combo with my Kindle, it's like crack city, lol!

How am I so lucky to know you? I must have done something right in a former life...either that or my porn-fu is strong...*GRINS*

I hate it when can be described as a combination of shit happening and me being an asshole... you have my limitless empathy.

That's part of the fanfic fun, though, right, twisting canon in a way that people will accept. That right there? (0% of the fun :DD

Hope life gets less not awesome soon.

Sooooo sorry it took me so long to respond--when LJ wouldn't let me I kind of forgot. :(

Life is a little less not awesome but I'm holding my head up and smiling and folks are starting to get a leeetle uneasy...*GGG*

whitney did lend himself to storifying. (as i recall, i wrote a small clark/whitney just for youse.) so glad you're getting hits at AO3!

speaking of vanilla, i'm currently playing with another glee fan's abandoned WIP, turning it really kinky-dark and pornographic. no one else will see it, beside me myself, but it's a fun exercise to let myself type what's in my head. btw, the glee kink meme prompts often make me want to barf...

You most certainly wrote a lovely story which I have safely copied in my files. It continues to make me very happy!! :)

I'm trying to imagine a dark and twisted Glee and I'm having way too easy a time seeing Glee take a turn like that....

I feel so left out when you post about Smallville. :'(

Actually, I asked two people yesterday if I should try watching Smallville and they both told me, 'no, it's terrible'. But I want so much Mike Rosenbaum as Lex that it's a physical ache.

You should just watch the Lex scenes from the first 3 seasons and skip the rest, then! :)

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Awwwwwwww, beloved! I don't want you to feel neglected!!

Smallville wasn't really terrible, it was just...well, sort of random when it came to continuity and logic. Lex was so incredibly beautiful that I watched the show strictly for the Lex parts and in fact some eps I would fast forward through anything that wasn't Lex or Lex/Clark, or Lex&Lionel, his dad. God, the scenes with those two together were incredible and full of hints of awful dirty wrongness...*happy nostalgic sigh* And then there was that one season when that godawful twink no talent Jensen Ackles suddenly showed up on my SHOW, WTF??!! LOL!!!! Man, what a change from DA to Supernatural!

So, yeah, the first few seasons when it's mostly Clark and Lex are well worth watching and the last two seasons--Tom Welling really brought it those last two years. :)

I love the Archive of Our Own! It's so nice to get random kudos.
