You know, some people have sparkly dreams, and I did too last night. But what did I dream? That I'd linked to someone's story and they were pissed about it. So not fair.

Thanks to everyone that commented on my last post. It was fun seeing what you all think, and if you haven't read the post, go see. There's some fascinating, and funny, thoughts about This I Promise You, especially the video.

I've just been reading the comments again, and JC's furry pants were mentioned often. I think it was Luxshine that gave the most vivid image, that JC had stapled squirrels on his legs *g* Also, there's conflicting views that the sweaters are either horrible or good, though they're handy for hiding hickeys. That the tattoo part has a mother kissing her son ( obviously Justin wrote that part ) the girl being drawn is a snotty bitch and the giant redwoods are obviously phallic symbols. In fact, sex was brought up often as it seems they were all doing each other that day, with lots of eye fucking going on at the cafe. Man, I love you guys.

It was fun reading what you all thought, and some things were mentioned that I hadn't seen before. Like Lance and Joey are totally talking as Justin emotes like crazy in the forest, I also like Justin's nudge to Chris when the girl walks past in the cafe.

So yes. The TIPY video in a nutshell. Five hot guys, wearing roll necks to hide the hickeys, stand in a forest of phallic symbols. Bubbles appear, their innocence in floating glittering form, while sub scenes show incest and a poor old man being closed down. Emote emote emote! Boyband handmoves! Suddenly, cafe scene of joy where Joey eats much ketchup and Chris hits the red juice with a shot of double vodka, all five eye fucking as JC fondles his furry pants under the table. Justin perves on kissing couple and we end with the five hot guys surrounded by thick trees towering toward the sky.

In conclusion. TIPY is love.

Like I said, that was fun, especially seeing people comment to one another. I'll throw up another topic soon. Before that though. Pen has a fascinating meta post about writing here. You should go see and check it out.

Before I go, a meme.

Writer's Meme: Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fics favourite you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.



Boxes -- This has to be first of my most loved stories. I love the Boxes universe, and writing it was a blast. I was new to the fandom, didn't really know anyone, and just started writing and posting. I was throwing out words every day and half the time didn't even know where I was going. Yet it worked. I'd love to do that again, but to be honest, I'm too aware of how many people read now, the fact it would be unbeta read. I think I write better now, but Boxes is my baby, and I'll always love it.

Spot -- I didn't even like Spot at first. Now I love him. It's different to how I usually write, which is why I was dubious at first, but re reading now. Well, Spot is cool.

Easy Money -- The start of my trickyfish period, which is still ongoing it seems. I love how the story ended. It was difficult to write and at times I was ready to give up and just delete the whole thing. But I said what I wanted to, and that makes me happy.

Kiss -- There's so many kinds of kisses and it was fun to explore and write them all. Plus, I like how I've attempted all the pairings. Usually it's hard to pry me away from the Chris based ones.

Words. There's nothing new or original about this, but I really enjoyed writing it. I always remember messing with photoshop, and just having a blast. It's cool when stories happen like that.



I tag you and you and you and yes, you.

Randomly as I'm watching Mutant X. Brennan is totally hot. Despite all the other tv guys I like, he'll always be my number one media crush. &hearts

I've always liked TIPY the song, mostly because that's where I realised that whoa, JC can sing! The video, not so much. But now I totally have a new appreciation for it now, as it is apparently much gayer than I ever imagined.

I know! With each point people bring up I'm realising it may be one of the gayest videos ever!

I had a very scary dream with a sparkly connection the other day: I was doing the shopping for Camp Sparkle, and getting it all wrong. *gleep* On a kind of treadmill of Cash&Carry - Supermarket - Market - Cash& Carry - Supermarket, etc.

I like your Meme. Will give it some thought.

That sounds like a horrible dream! I tell you, I'd hate to imagine the organisation that you and Anna are doing.

I'd like to see what you think for the meme. It's always interesting to see what stories people love of their own.

Feel free to throw me more Boxes anytime, love.

I really need to just throw words at you. All the stalling is silly.

I clicked just to have the pleasure of seconding your choice of Boxes. I knew it would be in the list - dude, how could it not? - and since I have mad love for that series, I couldn't not squee about it here again, right? :-)

And you're watching MX! MX will always mean Terri to me *g*

It's so predictable listing Boxes, but it's the story I love the most, and the one I'm most proud of. Also, I have to squee over your squee, because it makes me so happy!

MX is on every day at 9 in the morning. I get the boys off to work and school and watch while I putter around. I just love Brennan so much. He's wonderful.

I love your summary of TIPY!!!

And I'd do the meme but I don't have links to anything I've written couldn't be because I got depressed and deleted them all. Plus my newer stuff is geared towards a different fandom lol

I think we definatly have to do more like the TIPY post <3

LOL. Thank you! I just wrote up what everyone thought ;)

It's a pity you deleted things, but I've read what you wrote before, and I know you had stories that were loved.

I think we definatly have to do more like the TIPY post <3

It really was fun. I'm off to play in the BSB thread now :)

Yeah well when you hang around the wrong people who insist on demoralizing you and making you feel like the worst person (not to mention writer) on the planet, you tend to delete the evidence that they claim proves it *shrugs*

LoL I had fun with the BSB video today....I really must go read what everyone else wrote now lol

Yep, I wrote Boxes. Like I said, it's my baby. I love that universe.

I'm so glad you liked it. Because really, the Chris and JC in that story adore one another.

Thanks so much for telling me.

You're totally welcome! ^__^

You, along with [livejournal.com profile] nopseud, made me think Lambs was adorable. :P Aww, I love the fandom and its people so much. :D

I've just posted my meme - really, it's so difficult, I think I have an unhealthy love for most of my stories. Not quite all, it is true...

Credit where credit's due. Even if we both use the phrase now, I found the old tape where we talked about it, and it was [livejournal.com profile] milosflaca the one who called the Stappled Squirrel pants first. (She even named each individual squirrel)
