Happy birthday to brighton_girl! I hope you have a fantastic day!

One day I'll stop blindly clicking links. That way I'll spare myself the utter horror of coming across badly written NCIS Tony/Tim MPREG stories.

However, that day is not today.

I'm about half way through the JuC swap stories at the moment. I've been enjoying them a lot, and it's been good to sit and read the responses from the writers. I love hearing how people approach their stories, it's like getting a little extra glimpse about each one.

I've also been thinking about SeSa, specifically, beginning my pre swap thoughts about what I'll get. It's early I know, the sign ups haven't even started, but still, it's a ritual that needs to begin. While no pairings hold fear for me, the words 'gsf heavy on the smut' would be enough to bring me to my knees. If that happens I'd have to spend weeks typing with my fingers over my eyes, which believe me, is difficult to do. Though my worst fear would be getting assigned a friend to write for, especially interlock who's been my beta forever. I'd have to write two stories and lie and I'd be a nervous wreck.

Man, this is why I love SeSa story exchanges so much! They get the blood flowing and the nerves jangling and it's such a bewitching combination.

For now though, I have new NCIS and then emails to write before the kidlet gets home.

ETA: I uploaded this for KC yesterday, and in the spirit of not wasting links. Lost Prophets: Liberation Transmission.rar I'm really enjoying The Lost Prophets at the moment, so if you want to give them a try, download away.

but at least you're Very Unlikely to get 'gsf heavy on the smut' for me, so that's some small comfort, yes?

*hugs you*

The combination of you and that request would make me want to curl up and hide.

I suppose it's a case of pros and cons writing for friends. On one hand, you know what they like, on the other. If you screw up it'll hit harder. Plus, two stories needed! I'm not good at the lying thing!

*smooch*

[brighton-girl.livejournal.com]

Thank you! So far so good. I need to take pictures of how they decorated my office so I can show everyone...it's unbelievable!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

They decorated your office? That's so cool! In a very attention grabbing way *g*

I'm so glad the day started well.

[brighton-girl.livejournal.com]

They used every single decoration we have...for Halloween, for Christmas, for birthdays, for St. Patricks day, even a wedding decoration we have. It's so crazy and cute!

Tony/Tim Mpreg? eeww!
and my dl for ncis is done - gotta rush *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Oh, Babycakes! It was horrible! I couldn't back out fast enough.

And yes, my download is waiting for me too. I may be back to gush to you.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

As a rule, I tend to stay away from Mpreg - one of my only pet-peeves when it comes to fics lol

I really liked this episode! the opening scene in particular *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I don't seek out MPREG, but know it can be done well. There's some great examples of popslash mpreg for example, but when it's bad it's terrible!

I really liked this episode! the opening scene in particular *g*

OMG! YES! Not to take away from the touching memories of Gibb's daughter, but wet Tony is way hot! I felt so bad for him, having those two lives resting only on him. What a horrible situation.

Still. He looked good in his angst *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

mmmm... wet Tony... I never get tired of it! *happy sigh*

Do you have any good NCIS fics to rec?

[silencegrenade.livejournal.com]

I hear you!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*high fives*
*g*
thank God I don't seem to see a lot of them lately. Either a) I've learned to screen my flist and comms more efficiently, or b) I see them but my brain blocks them away from any conscious viewing lol

[silencegrenade.livejournal.com]

Well call me old fashioned but I just don't get it!
Utterly bizarre.

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Wait. What? Mpreg? WHERE? SHOW!

Have you read blueraccoon's NCIS? (generally Gibbs/DiNozzo)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Naughty Den! You made me go back to the bad place (http://community.livejournal.com/kissmeprobie/2347.html#cutid4)

I have read those. Enjoyed them lots too :)

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Oh God. That really was bad. *scrubs brain*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It really was. The whole thing was a disaster.

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

TOTALLY. It had so much potential, but instead it was completely cracked out... and fizzled. *le sigh*

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you've enjoyed the JuC swap stories ^^ And I'm sure the Sesa this year will be great! I'm so looking forward to reading the stories that will be written this year ^__^

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I am enjoying them. Very much so. My plan is to read more tonight, and I'm looking forward to it :)

I'm thrilled about SeSa. So excited! It's my favourite time of year for sure!

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

I'm so, so happy to read that. Hope you enjoy mine too *blushes*

Since I think I'll be travelling during Sesa, I'll have to wait, but I'll sure sit and read them all this year!!!!

*snickers* Yeah, SURE.

Bet you have some beachfront property in the middle of a desert to sell, too, don't you? :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Why Kim. Anyone would think you didn't believe me! *g*

So...you'll not be hoping to get me, then? ;-)

(Although if you do, there'll be other other option of 'Joey/Brian, heavy on the smut'.)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

So...you'll not be hoping to get me, then? ;-)

I think I need to go lie down. Just the thought of getting you is just....eeeep!

I would be happy to write Joey/Brian, sadly your pattern of SeSa stories would continue when you were disappointed at only getting a story where they hold hands.

[nopseud]

I love hand-holding. It's sweet, and adorable, and dorky, and everything that JoB ought to be. Especially when it takes place in the middle of HOT SEX. :-)

Blind clicking is what got me into slash in the first place.

Have you been reading all JuC swap stories, or just this year's?

I'm having a great time, refreshing the MTYG page and watching the signups. :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Blind clicking is what got me into slash in the first place.

Same here. It's scary to think if I wasn't curious at Yahoo groups I may not have found slash.

I'm just on this years JuC swap stories at the moment. If I have time I'm going to try the other ones though. Maybe just the ones you recced.

I have such glee seeing that list go up. It's so much fun.

[rikes]

I definitely recommend checking out a couple of the older stories as well, there are some really good ones in there as well. :) If I remember correctly, there was some humour and angst and a high school au and a threemanbus in the ones I recced, so that might be a good place to start. :)
