So the other day I lamented that I am incapable of writing short due South fic, and promptly wrote something under 1000 words. Shortly thereafter, I lamented that I have a hell of a time writing Fraser-POV sometimes because he over-thinks everything, and in more or less the same breath I said that writing a Fraser-POV sex scene would be a logistical nightmare, because writing Fraser and writing sex are two things I cannot do until my internal filters start to quiet down, which happens at about 11PM. Cue three consecutive nights of me determinedly opening up a Word file at about 11PM and writing more or less until my eyelids would no longer stay open.

And now, brought to you by Cliche Bingo (or: that awesome fic-prompt challenge that is currently two for two on making me write things I didn't think I was capable of writing) I bring you: Fraser-POV PWP. \o/ Uh, there is porn-porn, but it is also me so mostly it is character-porn, ie if you asked me to do so I could write coherent DVD commentary about what's going on with Fraser and why he's kind of screwed up but I love him anyway. This is of course the only reason I can actually bring myself to post it, because while I am occasionally up for reading smut without excuse, I really can't write it without excuse.

Anyway, PWP with mild excuse: Name It.

(PS I am actually pleased & comfortable enough with it that I don't mind the idea of crossposting it, but [a] this could absolutely be my post-11PM fewer-internal-filters talking and [b] I feel kind of odd linking out something that is essentially "Hey, check out how I just wrote 3700 words of sex!" I guess that is probably a kind of normal thing to do on the internets, but I have no security-blanket plot here.)
Someone is holding an epic Remus/Sirius nostalgia & love party, and I don't ... care. Wow. I am tempted to write at least one R/S fic for Cliche Bingo, if only because I'm sure I have at least one leftover thing to say about Harry Potter, and it is still Baby's First OTP, but I just ... I think my disenchantment with those books (no pun intended, oh god) is complete. This does not mean I do not still love Prisoner of Azkaban. This does not mean I can't still recite embarrassingly large swathes of the entire three-plus chapters in the Shrieking Shack from memory. This does not mean I am not a little irrationally excited about the HBP film next month. But I think I am done, and the realization is kind of nice.

Meanwhile in the light of day I am not going "oh my god why did I go mad at midnight and post porn??" which I think is a win; Fraser POV, I own you. Uh, I probably am going to watch more Twitch City over breakfast, oh god why, and also this morning I woke up with the excited phrase "Sweet baby Jesus and all his angels!" running through my head, and it took me five bewildered minutes to remember that it's something the curling commentator in Men With Brooms says. I observe all these things in aid of acknowledging that, although I am feeling kind of an irrational sense of accomplishment in letting go of the fandom things I loved at fourteen, I am still a migratory fandom caterpillar who is unlikely to ever hatch into a butterfly of normal adult life. What do people in normal adult life do for hobbies? My dad gets fannish about history and my mum volunteers for everything ever. But then in the evenings they enthusiastically watch Slings & Arrows with me, so maybe normal adult life is a myth anyway.

I am going to a wedding this afternoon in my pretty new dress, so any actual interaction re: this meme might be a little slow coming, but here is the interview meme that occasionally goes around: If you want me to interview you--post a comment that simply says, "Interview me." I'll respond with questions for you to take back to your own journal and answer as a post. Of course, they'll be different for each person since this is an interview and not a general survey. At the bottom of your post, after answering the Interviewer's questions, you ask if anyone wants to be interviewed. So it becomes your turn-- in the comments, you ask them any questions you have for them to take back to their journals and answer. And so it becomes the circle.

Answers to questions from [personal profile] wintercreek: 1. How did you decide what information to include on your Master Fic List? 2. What's the best book you've read that's not part of the literary canon? 3. Are there pieces of online/fannish convention that have infiltrated your offline life? 4. What was the greatest thing about your due South rewatch? 5. Have you ever found yourself using fic to work through something from your real life, or is it purely separate? )
