(no subject)

I was sick yesterday. Alternatively freezing and boiling for most of the day but thankfully I'm good now, so it must have been a nasty 24 hour thing. Today it's snowing like crazy so I'm staying in to catch up on some things and while I'm doing so I'll meme.

Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] nonchop

If you comment here, I will tell you what fic of yours is my favorite, and why

Everyone could do with an ego boost at times so comment away, just let me know where your stuff is because I suck and may not remember without a prompt.

Also, another meme.

1. Comment with a request to see absolutely anything on my computer. My desktop, my documents, my playlist, my bookmarks, my latest Photoshop graphics experiment ... absolutely whatever you are curious about. Request it.
2. I will respond with a screenshot of the very thing you request.
3. In return, you will spread this meme far and wide.

I'm sorry you were sick but it's good to know you're already feeling better. *hugs*

I'd like to see your footage or music folder :-) .

I want to see the size of your Chris pics folder. ;-)

Oh, and I would comment if I had more finished fic...so I figured I could ask what fic you'd like me to work on next, in TS, *NSYNC (http://www.zytor.com/~ceci/fandoms/nsync/fic/fic/) and original (http://disabilityqueen.com/library) (because I'm curious, all right? *g*)

I want to see your most recently opened files - working titles and all.

TrickC folder!

[identity profile] myorangecrush.livejournal.com 2005-02-20 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't do the meme in return 'cos digital camera isn't compliant with XP. Bugger :)

However, I want to see your sims house :)

Plus, the fic thing

Now, I have the major decision, do I plan for OFSTED, mark coursework or play sims2?

I have much love for When the Tick met Mr T.

It's a story that seemed right somehow, some AUs seem unlikely to me and it's a stretch to see the guys in that setting. Your story had no such problems. I loved Joey's shop, I want to go to Joey's shop.

There were details in the story that were understated yet still showed so much, like this JC’s the one with the hair, they work shifts at KX50,” Joey took a breath, “and Mrs. Morrison’s convinced they’re a couple.”

“Really? What makes her so sure?”

“Something about a piggyback and twirling.”


I can see this so easily, I imagine Chris on JC's back as they twirl in place and it's just the most delightful image. And this.

Chris was short. That was the first thing Joey noticed about him. Compared to Joey, he was really short. His black hair spiked up in a million different directions, he had a goatee that appeared to have two…horns, there was a light sheen of sweat across his upper lip and beside his sideburns, his black t-shirt said ‘real live action hero’, and he had an attitude that radiated beyond his size. Joey wanted lick the side of his face and then fuck him senseless.


Man, that's just Chris. If I didn't already I'd want to fuck him senseless myself just from that description.

The plot was lovely and was paced well, you had me so tense at the end thinking that Joey was going to lose the shop, then Chris sold his albums. Man, I had the sniffles then for sure.

I really loved that story a lot.

As for my most recent file. I think you mean my Word files, if not, sorry. This is what I have for the honey challenge so far, pathetic yeah.

I am, thank you honey.

I think it must have been one of those nasty 24 hour bugs that hit from nowhere then go just as fast.

*hugs you back*

Oh, dear...I only have 329 (single) pics of Chris...1,000 something in combos.

I think you should finish, sick_chris. I know, I know, you're shocked ;)
Very.... ;-þ I'll see what I can do. *runs off to do research*

glad that you're feeling better. Boo to random illnesses.

It snowed for about two minutes yesterday - walking down Oxford Street with a blue sky and snow - most odd.

And you're the only person I feel like I can ask for that meme with and not have it feel weird. Pick me! pick me! ephemera_tales and / or ephemera_pop - and I should go and add a link to the Sesa story, really ....

Man, stupid LJ, posting before I was ready. Lets try again.

I really am feeling better, I hate nasty bugs that lay you out for a day but at least they go as soon as they come.

Oh man, how am I supposed to pick just one? I have so much love for your stuff, both pop and original. However, I'll go for a popslash as I know what I'm talking about better with those.

I really do love all of your stuff but I'm going to pick It's the Perfect Dream. It's just got so much that I love, first the TrickC which is always good, but it's nothing as shallow as the pairing, it's that you took what should be an improbably idea and made it work. JC as a puma should be insane, is insane, yet you created a lovely universe that seems real and that's such a great thing.

The friendship between Chris and JC is shown as being solid, and I always like that, because sex is good but I like my guys to have a relationship built on something real, especially as I think they are good friends.

There's parts of the story that still blow me away when I reread, things like this.

Arguing like that left Chris prickly and itchy in his skin, especially when it was JC, who wouldn't fight back like Justin, or just let it wash over him like Joey tended to do. Prickly and itchy and ill at ease, and the closed door seemed to glare at him reproachfully every time he crossed the hallway

Because yes, we've all been there I think.

And this

Sleek and purposeful, heavy yellow eyes catching the dim light and seeing him. Seeing him and slowing and approaching ohh so slowly and Chris's mouth too dry to shape a sound, and his eyes closing in self defence, clinging to the door like a baby with a blankie.

I love how you describe things, you have such a vivid touch and I can really see Chris' terror in the next paragraphs as he realises that JC was telling the truth all along, and you know that knowledge must be terrifying yet the next day all he wants to do is be with JC and help somehow. I also love that first awkward conversation, the touching of the foot and owing of doors are such normal things in an extraordinary situation.

I just love the whole story, it's cool taking that journey with Chris from thinking JC is joking, to terror and disbelief that turns to needing to help within hours. Then risking his life for JC which has to be one of the ultimate acts of love, and shows so much trust.

Then the end is wonderful, with JC accepting himself, playing with the kids in puma form as Chris lounges on Nick. Just perfect.
