help wanted! :p

--of the plot bunny variety.

eager, puppyish, underweight college student seeks inspiration for smutty domlijah goodness. all plot bunny body parts accepted, even the putrescent ones--i just read frankenstein, after all, much to my dismay!

someone? throw me random snippets of ideas? i have a core of an idea, but i need to figure out (a) why lijah is so eager to get dom's attention, other than dom's cuteness. i mean, why would dom not be paying attention to him? (b) what kinds of curse words does lij use in everyday conversation? stuff like that. um. help? and. what kinds of drinking games do they play? anyone? ally_star? <--pitifully sheltered. people play chess as a drinking game at my school.

[edit: what is it about a beta that never fails to make my day? if only she had im and no life... *pout*]

thanks! ;)

that sounds mostly like they have an already-established relationship. which is not my intent. but maybe i can twist it around properly? hm. lij is busy and... disconnected-ness. he feels, incorrectly, that it is necessary to seduce dom. maybe even subconsciously.

uh-oh. nuances of british speech! gah. this story is going to need beta'd.

ok, how about...

Lij was obviously so enamoured of the whole British thing, with taking on the slang and talking about the 'English culture' on Letterman... maybe Dom is the personification of all that cool tough britboy thing he wants to be a part of?

BTW, is this going to be an NZ fic or a post NZ fic?

I can beta if you want and if you don't have anyone :)
(never done it before, but hell, I've got an MA in english and a crapload of British mates, I should be OK. And plus, I love your fic)

as a wannabe brit myself, I'd definitely read that one.

an MA! ahha, you're old.

however: it's post-NZ mostly, but perhaps not entirely, the way the bunny is currently shaped. hm. i guess i'll need one for britishisms if nothing else in this instance. usually don't bother except for my star trek stories. mmm, i don't really make mechanical mistakes, at least, not by accident. other than typos.
