bossymarmalade: blue eye with lashes of red flower petals (justin)

take you back deep

So. This summer I went to a little thing called Dexcon, where I met some folks I'd always wanted to and where my interest in comicfandom was somewhat rekindled.

Which resulted in me writing another Gen X fic. Well, not anything long, or anything particularly actiony, but I have to ease myself back into the fandom, y'know?

Anyhow, here it is, since [livejournal.com profile] wgsarah gave me a prod and squeed over it, and that's all the encouragement I need. It follows A Bit of Naughty in the No Regresas series, in case you're wondering.

Fwee! Angefic! ::snugs Mags::

There is never enough Angefic in the world. Ever.

Also, you may want to consider posting the link to your other journal and flinging the puppy over the ever-popular OTL (lemme know if you need to/want to have that done for you) as I don't think we've managed to lure all of your core comic audience over to the sparklyside yet. ::grin::

*g* If you could pimp on OTL, that'd be great, since I'm not on it anymore. And, yes! Otherjournal is a good idea. I'll do that now!

Goddamn, I'm as dumb as a post, 'cause I have yet to connect glitterypop junkies with fucking groovy comicfic writers.

And eeee! Angelo!

Now I have the urge to dig out my last issues of Gen X and write that Monet/Jubilee story I swore I'd finish...

Dude. It took me ages to figure out who [livejournal.com profile] thebitchtrolls were, and I resorted to shameless begging in a public post to be told, so don't worry--your dignity's firmly intact. ^_^

And, yay! You knew what I was talking about and squee over Ange! Thank you!

::perks:: You're gonna work on that? Really and truly? Because, I've so been waiting for that.

::stands off to the side and hops up and down a bit::

What? Oh, don't mind me...

It's half done. Seriously. Like, I get them in the same place and everything, but they're just not...doing anything.

However, Monet continually showing up in the latest issues of The Uncanny X-men is making it more and more likely that she'll finally poke me into writing it.

Jesus, Maggie, it's fantastic. It's one of those things that's so full of tension it's beautiful, like Witness, or Flesh and Bone. Just, every nuance and the relationships and the way all the characters are spot on, not just the leads. I love your Jubilee; that's how she really would be if she was real. The observation of Ev is beautiful. Monet is, of course, perfect. The natural, easy friendship of Jono and Ange. Gorgeous.

(Although, and this breaks the run of superlatives, sorry, personally I find the phonetic Jono-speak disrupting, but that's probably just me. I mean, I'm not really complaining, 'cause it's canon, but just so you know.)

Gorgeous job, babe. More! More! Not necessarily in this series, but, well, anything. However you're inspired.

Thank you so much for the feedback, sweetie!

And, y'know--this time around, I found the phonetic-speak pretty irritating myself. I think I'm going to re-work it so it's not quite so blatant, and probably shamelessly revise all my old stuff, too. Because re-reading it is practically painful in spots, what with all the Gambit-esque letter-dropping. *g*

But yes, feedback! Thank you thank you thank you! Eeeee!!

*snug*

I'm totally going to read this as soon as I'm not drowning in busy.

But. I have to ask now. You aren't leaving us, are you? Like, you can do two fandoms at once? Right? [looks pitiful and sad]

CHRIS, JUSTIN & LANCE: [look pitiful, too]

I'm not leaving at all! In fact, it was an intense struggle to write the comicfic, even though it's hella short and doesn't say a whole lot.

Dear Lord, the thought of leaving the SDBs sends my heart into erratic palpitations. I love them--and you--far too much to leave now. *snuggle*

[sighs in relief]

Oh good. Not that you struggled, but that you won't leave.

I'd miiiiiss you so.

::hugs::

You aren't leaving us, are you?

And like I'd let her leave. I dragged her kicking and screaming (although, admittedly, it was more like "Here! Sparkly!!" and she rolled over and showed her belly) into this fandom and by golly, she's gonna stay!! ;P

Hey! I kicked and screamed. A little bit. And then admitted that the Bye Bye Bye video always make me think that JC and Lance were in love.

Re:

[identity profile] cathybites.livejournal.com 2002-09-06 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, wait. You admitted that way before you visited me. I remember because you made a comment in my lj and I dl'ed the video then.

[identity profile] likeahiphopsong.livejournal.com 2002-09-06 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Cool.

If she tries to bolt, you grab one leg and I'll grab the other. Chris and Justin'll block the door and Lance will make a phone call to a guy he knows who can totally help us out. JC and Joey would help, but they seem rather occupied on that sofa over there.

Well, now, see. That'd be no good because I'd just be distracted the whole time and she might slip away. We might need to call in Nick to help us.
