~~minimalism & the lure of cucumber smut... ok, not that last part.

reading ishuca's post on the virtues of epics over ficlets, i felt compelled to respond, and since she mentioned my little note about wanting snogs in fics on her journal and not on mine, i thought i'd likewise semi-respond here and not there >:D<

thinking epically seems like an interesting concept. i wonder how -i- think. i think i think in weird cross-wired non-linear associative loops and twirls. i'm probably a cross between an epic poem and a novel full of dream sequences.

that's what wound up happening with `one good reason'-- waaaay too many dream sequences. and with the first novel i attempted, i also went off on waaaay too many tangents that had nothing to do with what i was "supposed" to be writing about. this seems to happen to me when i write longer-- the more i think, the more weird possibilities on the fringes of things happen to me. i can never keep to one thread continuously. i remember starting off with a half fairy half ghost minstrel-girl, and ending up with two lesbian werewolves in the Faerylands... and no, i don't have it online anywhere. *smirk*
    and not even -i- knew how that made sense....

( as to other people's writing... )

and dammit, does this prove that i find sam/frodo.... squicky??!! gah. draco/cucumber doesn't squick me at all, but the idea of sam sucking on frodo's tongue makes me squirm. in that bad way. and i believe they have a Great Eternal Love, of course. it's just... it's just... i seriously can't imagine sam calling frodo anything but "mr frodo", and... just... you'd have to -seriously- try to keep it in character, to do them justice. their relationship is too deep to just throw in sex casually. if anyone has any lotr recs, send 'em my way, but be aware that i wouldn't go for casual, apparently. sigh. i -want- to see aragorn and legolas... oh, do i... but even there, i really want it to be... delicately handled. i'd want intense emotional bonding. i don't know if they'd kiss. i seriously don't. this is important. they are like brothers, man. you can't just -mess- with that. sniff. heh. i've gotten gooey in my old age. ok, so i've always been gooey. oh well.
