A couple of people have asked if I'm writing anything for JuC day, and I told them no. It hadn't even crossed my mind at the time, because JuC ;). I'm thinking about it now though, which is insane as it's like a week to the actual day which would mean writing short, add that to the fact I have no ideas at all, and well, the will is there, the ability is not. I was entertaining writing something from the Living the Life That You Dreamed universe, which is something I've always wanted to revisit, but I don't know. I always seem to slip into AU for stuff like this and really, though I like writing AU, non AU is good too. Maybe try a little AR, that could be cool.

Sort of related, if popslash_100 decides to do the character route I'm doomed. Because you know if you people won't write me 100 Chris/Kevin stories I'll do it myself. You all need to take example from luxshine, she's my favourite. *nods* But characters would mean Chris/Kevin, Chris/Nick Squee! Chowie! Chris/Brian. I have the urge to re read that Chris/Brian story where Nsync and Brian are recording in the same studio and there's lovely Baylee scenes and picnics and just happy goodness. One day I'll write Brian without calling him Brain, today is not that day.

I'm probably the only person who's watching Project Catwalk, but I can't believe Christopher was cut last night. I'm rooting for Matthew to win but really liked Christopher too. He's made some gorgeous stuff and it's a shame he made such a boring dress. They were right, it wasn't a dress for Liz, but still, Christopher :( Fingers crossed Matthew will blow them away at fashion week, but I don't know, he's so unsure at times. I ached for him last night when he was in front of the jewellery guy.

I've only half of an Anita Blake book left now. I've Micah to pick up tomorrow but man, I don't want to finish them. I keep picking up and putting down the one I have now, because I've been living with these people for weeks now. I've had a book at hand almost 24/7. I've fallen in love with the characters and don't want it to end. I want a Nathanial of my own. I want to touch Asher's hair, pet Jean Claude's clothes. No more long hair, beautiful eyes and sex dominating almost every page. It's to cry.

Sky Plus is set to record Hustle tonight as castalie keeps laughing at me because I miss all the cool Brit shows. She assures me it's good and has never steered me wrong yet. Mouse is the cause of most of my obsessions as we have very similar tastes. Though she's blameless for the popslash thing, I developed that myself *g*

I haven't read Sucker for a while. I may try and catch up.

cartrick!!

you're gonna have Micah before I will *is jealous*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Cartrick is wonderful!

Eeep. Sorry :( Will you be getting a copy soon?

[ravenbat.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping to have it by the end of the month, it's just a matter of finally getting someplace that sells it. lol.

[tara]

I was about to say "What about Chris/AJ?"... but then I realised that I don't think I've read much in that pairing at all. There should be more Chris/AJ, damnit. Just as long as I don't have to be the one writing it, because it'd be haaaaard ;)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I was sidetracked thinking about the Chris/Brian story, because you're right. There should be more Chris/AJ.

I was actually assigned Chris/AJ for my cross over pairing for SeSa and had this whole story planned out. In the end I just didn't have time to do it justice.

[tara]

I still haven't got around to looking at the recent SeSa stuff, mostly because I got sidetracked by Yuletide and never got around to it *g* But it's a cool pairing, even if there probably isn't a huge amount of evidence for it. Eh, who needs evidence? ;)

[bayouskye.livejournal.com]

You know, you could write something for JuC Day.....

*snickers*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know I could *g*

[bayouskye.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Oh I LOVE project catwalk! I just got hooked on it the first time I saw it. I love Matthew, he is so adorable, and that's what? Three wins he has pulled out so far. He should have more confidence in himself.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I have this need to squee, because I've been watching Project Catwalk from the start and assumed no one else was interested!

Matthew is adorable and he does design nice outfits. You're right, he's won many times now, yet still has that lack of confidence which is such a shame. I'm worried he's going to have a melt down next week when the pressure is really on.

I actually thought he was going this week but pulled it together really well. Fingers crossed he does the same again.

[frayen.livejournal.com]

I know, I worried for him as well, he just seemed so lost, bless.

I have this need to squee, because I've been watching Project Catwalk from the start and assumed no one else was interested!

Aww man, ditto!


I think if Matthew doesn't win, I may cry.

[clear-my-eyes.livejournal.com]

I'm probably the only person who's watching Project Catwalk

Nope! I watch it too. I was disappointed in Christophers dress last night. He is capable of so much more and I really thought that designing for Liz Hurley would have suited his style.

I'd love for Matthew to win too but he made me cringe with embarassment when he was standing in front of Theo Fenell last night. Poor guy.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

YAY! You have great taste :)

I was disappointed too. I really like Christopher, and usually his work. The dress was totally substandard to what he usually makes and that's such a shame, he deserved to go into the final.

I'm with you with Matthew. I'm rooting for him but he cracks so easily at times, and his self confidence is so low. That meeting with Theo was horrible, drying up like that must have been a nightmare.

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

I haven't read Sucker for a while. I may try and catch up.

Well, that's one way to get a Chris/Kevin fix. Bwahahahaha. Sucker's been wild lately, in the way that the same things keep happening again and again and again, but in slightly different ways. I can't help it, I'm still hooked.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It shows you how few Kevin/Chris stories there are if you have to read Sucker to get a fix.

I've tried to stop reading a few times, then get that itch to go read again and once more I'm neck deep in the Sucker angst. Of course, being on the mailing list doesn't help me escape *g*

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

If you're on the mailing list, you must not want to escape, I'm thinking, :)

[justinsgayhero.livejournal.com]

Well I'm totally for you writing something JuC Terri*he he* but if you don't thats cool, I'm sure theres going to be plenty to read and pics to gush over so its all good.

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

If you're talking about only half of Incubus Dreams left... guh, yes. As much as Anita annoys the everlovin' hell out of me at times, Nathanial. Oh, my, yes. I want him SO so badly. Heh. Actually, him and Jason. ;) Or, y'know, to watch them together. :P

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Oh man, yes!

I have such a crush on those two, it's the hair and the eyes and the body and the clothes and less shallow, the fact they're both such great characters. Honestly, in terms of Nathanial I want to yell at Anita to just have sex with him already!

Nathanial and Jason. *goes to happy place*

[rikes]

WRITE! I love the Living the Life That You Dreamed universe, too, but anything is fine, really. ;)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

but anything is fine, really. ;)

You're too kind *g*

I'm going to try my hardest to get something done. Just to say I gave it an attempt you know? :)

[pierson.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I lovelovelove the Anita Blake 'verse. Vivid, bloody, totally addictive. The last books are Mary-Sue-ish, but I don't care. What I like are the societies, the cultures of the varying groups of supernaturals, how they react with/to one another. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing.

I don't like Anita a lot, but man, you have to give her credit for being unforgettable. And then, there's the men. Hoo. Jean-Claude. *Asher,* who is possibly my favorite character in the series. Damian. Richard, Jason, Nathaniel. Oh, *Nathaniel.* Micah. Edward. Well, I could go on and on. Fabulous secondary characters that you so quickly fall in love with. I read the series primarily for them, because I've grown to love them so.

If you like this series, you'll prolly like her other, the Merry Gentry series. It's about the Irish Sidhe, the Fae, and how they and other supernaturals are integrated into today's society. Merry is a Sidhe princess, half-human, and she's fighting for her life and for the throne against her cousin, Cel. I like Merry much more than Anita; she's softer, not abrasive. And the men. Hoo, again. The Killing Frost. The Queen's Darkness. Wow. Lots and lots and lots of sex, in these books.

When does the Micah book come out? I can hardly wait.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That's it in a nutshell.

I was given the first two books for Christmas and loved them so much I had to go get the rest. You're hit the nail on the head why I love them so much. The world building is so compelling. The vampires, and the age behind them that governs their behaviour and rules. The weres and their rules that differ so much, yet they still interact. It's amazing to read.

I love the pards and packs, the differing blood lines of the vampires. There's not a thing I dislike in that world.

I'll agree, Anita is Mary Sueish, especially in the latter books, but I forgive her that even while thinking I shouldn't. But really, it's the men that attract my interest too.

I have so much love for all of them. Nathaniel, man, I adore him. Asher too, he's so complex and his relationship with Jean-Claude intrigues me so much. They're such well rounded characters and the more I read the more I love them.

Micah came out here last week and I'm sure ninjetti75 told me it was coming out in the States around the same time. So hopefully you'll be able to pick up a copy asap.

I'll check out the Merry Gentry series when I pick up Micah tomorrow. It sounds like something I'd enjoy, which is great because right now I'm mourning the end of the Anita books and I haven't even reached there yet.

I so love talking to people who love the books too. None of my family get the appeal of losing yourself in a book, which is sad, because right now all those characters feel so real I could almost touch them.

[ravenbat.livejournal.com]

Tossing in my two cents, hope you don't mind. Micah came out Feb. 28th here in the US. The next Anita hardcover is due out in July (maybe June) also.

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

I have to ask...in your opinion what is the difference between AU and AR? I have never been sure so I lump them all together.

You?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I take AU to mean when the characters are in different jobs and situations to normal, they've never been in Nsync, never will be in Nsync, but have met up in other ways.

AR they're in Nsync but something happens that takes them out of their usual world. Like they're thrown back in time or the world ends and they have to survive that.

To be honest I always lumped them together too, then one day I was talking to nopseud and she mentioned she wasn't that keen on AU, which surprised me, as she's been writing what I'd considered an AU for a long time. Which is when I found out the difference between AU and AR :)

[luxshine.livejournal.com]

First of all, *aww* Thanks!!

Second, come on! Join us! ;) We need more members! Someone else claiming Kevin/Chris would mean 200 Kevin/Chris stories to read :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You're most welcome :D

Man, I know! I'm so tempted right now. If I didn't have a story of my own to finish I'd be so there.

At the same time. I've been batting this idea around for a long time about telling the Chris/Kevin relationship over the years and that could be a useful prompt. Either a linear thing or 100 scenes out of their time together.

I must think of this.

[luxshine.livejournal.com]

Both sound like very, very good ideas :D

[milosflaca.livejournal.com]

hey...um...sorry to butt in. I made you something that will also be included in the comic. it has to do with Cramps, with lamps, with Chris and with Moth (and by Moth I mean, the character of Mirror Tales).

the link is here(http://milosflaca.livejournal.com/72647.html) if it doesn't work, it's posted on my lj.

[ravenbat.livejournal.com]

http://firstmutant.greatestjournal.com/ found that tonight and thought of you immediately. So, I thought I'd share.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That's so cool!

Thank you!

[ravenbat.livejournal.com]

you're welcome. :)
