I am a moron
Jul. 4th, 2004 05:39 pmThere's no doubt about it. Have you ever heard of a person screwing up a simple CD-burning process? I just did. The CD contained nothing important - just all my brushes, and icons, and some of my old stuff ("I *will* do it," said Harry *gags*). All gone.

Interesting discussions on the "Ewww!het!" phenomenon here, here and here. I haven't the time to rant today, I'm afraid, but all I can say is that I totally agree. "Eww het" is as annoying as "eww slash", if not worse.

I wanted to write schmoopy stuff, but it looks like I'm still incapable of writing schmoop. Here's some squicky stuff instead.

Walter isn’t sure how it started, or who made the first move; how they progressed from talking encryptions and firewalls to this…
He’s clumsy. He’s definitely nervous (so is Walter, although he isn’t going to confess that). And he’s eager, so very eager…
This cannot be happening, Walter thinks. But his coffee-scented kisses are sweet, almost addictive, his searching hands are insistent – soft, like a child’s, and so warm – and Walter knows that he can’t stop.
A few minutes, and then it’s over. They’ll never talk about it in the future, of course. Walter just isn’t sure when he’ll forget.

Date: 2004-07-06 05:08 am (UTC)Yes, I know. I've been trying to avoid it by reading other fics, but I'm simply fascinated by the Black family, and I know I'll not be able to hold out much longer. All the three Black sisters are fabulous, and if I have to read incest to read good stories about them, then I will read incest. Sirius/Bellatrix also holds great potential.
The Lily pairings you mention are also ones I think hold great potential, although the really pose a challenge to the writer to avoid falling into OOC-ness or having to resort to something like noncon.
The HP authors are masters of writing all sorts of pairing, so I don't think it'd be too OOC in the hands of a good author. Now I wish someone would actually write some.

Date: 2004-07-06 07:46 pm (UTC)Yes, that's the conclusion I have relcutantly reached, too. Actually, I came across a decent one about Andromeda and Bellatrix, and it wasn't even incest. I believe I rec'd it to you already, but if not, let me know.
Sirius/Bellatrix also holds great potential.
I've come across some, but nothing I cared for very much yet. But if I find a good one, I'll let you know.

Considering how enormous this fandom is, I've been surprised at how little there actually is of the types of stories I'm looking for. *Sigh* Why am I always drawn toward whatever there's a scarcity of?
I don't know which is better, to be honest.

Oh, I think

Date: 2004-07-08 09:56 am (UTC)Yes, you did, and I enjoyed it immensely. It was the first, and still, the only decent Andromeda fic I've read - seeing Bellatrix through Andromeda's eyes was quite an experience.
