mumbling and screaming

[cimorene]

i've just reached about 5300 words of nemo/gill, or close to fifteen pages. who's the man?

sometimes people you know online make you completely forget ages--forget they're different at all, forget what they are. i mean, all we are in fandom is personalities and interests and snarkiness and whatnot suspended in a mental-intellectual-virtual framework, and real distances are as nothing.

well, anyway. sometimes you forget how old someone is. and sometimes you... don't.

::GLOMPAGE::

yeah but they haven't gotten into bed yet.

wait, i mean, er...

yeah. they haven't kissed unless you count accidentally bumping noses. thought that was cute in the movie so i stole it.

[permetaform]

::even more glee::

that means plot then! plot! ::sparkly eyed and more glompage::

[wolfsage.livejournal.com]

i know exactly what you mean... it's actually one of the things i love about fandom. it doesn't matter how old you are! i can be thisclose with people who normally would look at me like a little kid.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

heh. i've never looked at it quite that way, but you're right.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

okay, i have to ask. your fandom is SOON jack? huh?

and yeah... plot. ::wince:: but i feel so ridiculous taking it, like, really seriously and writing a PLOT.

[wolfsage.livejournal.com]

well, take you and me for example! i probably wouldn't talk to you in real life, at least not about fandom, because you're older than me... and therefore we wouldn't have fun conversations about said fandom. well, at least i assume you're older than me... i guess i don't really know. :)

[cimness.livejournal.com]

i'm twenty-one. but regardless of that--i talk to people much older than me!

[wolfsage.livejournal.com]

well, i'm seventeen. i mean, i do talk to people much older than me, yes! but not about gay porn.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

hahaha.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllll... maybe not. okay. i mean, i don't cause it doesn't come up much. people are surprisingly not into it. i mean, you'd think anyone would be interested, at least in porn, if not gay porn. even if it's not your cuppa, it's harmless, enjoyable, possibly titillating... .

[wolfsage.livejournal.com]

you'd think! i mean, i'm all for porn, as long as it's not harming anyone (like underage photos, etc) but some people are just against it. and here i was hoping i could bring up my gay porn habit with my religion professor.... *snicker*

possibly titilating indeed. *lewd wink*

[cimness.livejournal.com]

ahahaha. ;) well, i mean, titillating even if you're not into it. i can't understand how hung-up american society is and how sex is such a big taboo. honestly, a) what's wrong with it (aside from possible pregnancy, but that's why we have protection!) and b) what's so fucking ... big-deal about it? i mean, sex is nice. it's cool. but it's commonplace! everybody does it. animals do it. it's necessary for survival. and yet there's this whole. thing.

[wolfsage.livejournal.com]

i know what you mean! it's not just american society, either, canadian too. that especially occurs to me when a movie containing sex is rated NC-17, yet a 13 year old can go see people blown apart. (most american movies rated R come here and are rated pg13.) personally, i think the stigma would be much more appropriate if it was shifted to violence. think of it.... happy, hippie, free-love society. sounds fun! you're right about it being... not a big deal. i mean, it is, sorta, but not anything in the scale that we have it, where people are being killed over sexual orientation and everyone is in everyone's business, and you don't really want to run around mentioning you read and write gay porn, frequently and happily no less.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

people get so emotional and upset with romance.

as far as i can figure it, that's the biggest driving force behind taboo. people have strong feelings about the choosing of ze life-mates.

and then there's the fact that traditions originated before birth control, dna paternity tests, or really good medical care. back then you only knew the kid was yours if women were monogamous. and having more sex produced more kids which there might not be money to feed. and inheritance was a big deal. and STDS weren't really treatable.

[wolfsage.livejournal.com]

yes, that does explain it. still, i think we should be moving ahead as a society. liek, we are totally middle ages! *scoff* ;)

[cimness.livejournal.com]

yeah. it's simultaneously amusing (ahahah humanity! pftht) and hideously depressing.

[wolfsage.livejournal.com]

and when i feel like that, i turn to fandom (and in that style, gay porn). how ironic is that?

[kenovay.livejournal.com]

Do you know how much I'm looking forward to the Nemo/Gill?

And I know what you mean about the ages. I'm younger than pretty much everyone, yet I'm making friends with people in their thirties, forties, and it doesn't matter. I dislike telling people my age, because I always think it'll pop that little bubble and they'll start treating me like a kid. Which I'm not. I'm over 14, I'll tell you that. :)

And was that enigmatic '...don't' aimed at anyone?

[permetaform]

::grins:: it's a variation of My Fandom is so on crack because PotC fandom is pretty much Jack/anyone-or-any*thing*-not-fast-enough-to-get-away...well, minus the lovely Pintel/Ragetti and the femmeslash and Norrington/Elizabeth of course...

and plot makes peoples happy! don't wince! 'sides, you're not alone in wanting to see fish!smut...

[cimness.livejournal.com]

hee hee.

it's more poetic.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

FINISHED!

[cimness.livejournal.com]

no, nobody in particular. i was thinking about flamewars and how ridiculously silly people look in them.

i finished the nemo/gill at more than 11,100 words. (o.0)

i'll post it tonight i think.

[permetaform]

YAY!!!! ::happydance:: do you need a beta? I'm online right now until tonite and can return it to you today or tomorrow (depending on how in depth you want me to go), or if you're in a rush, I can do them in 5,000 word chunks which take me about 15~30 min each...

[permetaform]

oops, mis-estimate, change it to 2,000 word chunks...

[cimness.livejournal.com]

thank you, but i think it doesn't really need one. there's some hazard of plot flaw, but i don't think i'm able, and am not certain i would be willing anyway, to rewrite.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

but then again if you give me your im name--i was just re-reading the end and realizing it might come across wrong...
