cimorene--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?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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*]

Date: 20 Mar 2002 06:10 pm (UTC)Dom doesn't pay attention to Lij because Lij is a golden child - he's mega-talented, has roles being flung at him from all directions, is adorably cute, the world *seems* to be his oyster. Dom has no work at the moment (does he? anyone know?) and is feeling a bit out of place. Maybe he misses the UK and feels at a loose end while Lijah's off filming and stuff. It makes him shirty. He feels like he has no real place in Lij's life, he wants to prove himself in his own right in the US rather than just an add-on to Elijah, leading to him spending less time concentrating on lij. major angst ensues.
swear words... I've heard him go 'Bloody hell!' in english/aus/nz style/. And there's always 'cunt' and all the other stuff he mentioned in all the Arena interview...

Date: 20 Mar 2002 07:59 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 20 Mar 2002 09:49 pm (UTC)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)

Date: 20 Mar 2002 10:10 pm (UTC)as a wannabe brit myself, I'd definitely read that one.

Date: 21 Mar 2002 04:31 am (UTC)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.
