Fic: Kingdom Of One (Mighty Ducks, Fulton/Portman, R)

[carolinecrane]

You know what's sometimes a pain? When you've given in to a plot bunny and gone ahead and written a one-shot fic, only to be bitten midway through the writing by another bunny in the fandom you swore you were not going to pick up. Yeah, it sucks when that happens.

So it's true, I wrote Mighty Ducks slashI don't think 'ashamed' is quite the word

Ok. I have to be careful or I'm going to go all teenie and "eee" on you, and we so don't want that. I loved this story. I ended up looking up pictures of both boys, and then got side-tracked by pictures of Aaron (which explaining my perverse desire to write Aaron/Josh RPS) and then I finished reading the story.

*wipes eyes* Okay, not quite crying, but, you know. When someone write so well that your heart almost breaks? Yeah. That was you and this fic. So fantastic. It makes me want to write Newsies slash (or RPS, because, apparently, I've still got a thing for RPS).

And, okay, I'm starting to go fan!girl and weird on you. I'll stop. Except to say, I loved the story and since you have no shame, I'll have none and ask for more. Please. :)

It could be worse. After I saw him in Daydream Believers: The Monkees Story (not that I realized it was him), I went looking for Monkees slash, which is just wrong in far more ways than Bash Brothers slash.

Ahahahaha.

I actually did write one Newsies!slash fic. Mush/Blink. But now I've gone RPS and want to write Trey/Aaron.

I guess this means I have to see Newsies now.

YAY! This is me, waving my Bash Brothers slash flag. Poor Fulton. I find it odd that he likes to work in silence, but maybe the music reminds him of Portman...I remember all the scenes in their dorm room with them and music. I think you did a great job with him because we never really do figure out the truth behind what makes Fulton the way he is, where all the secrets came from (a lot like Ricky...except he had Clifford). And if there's sequels coming, I can't wait to see how Fulton reacts when Portman shows up in the locker room and when he does that strip tease in the penalty box and then after the game... Personally, I'm of the opinion that they'd stick him in Fulton's dorm room because no one else could deal with him.

And, yeah, now that I've shown how oddly obsessive I am, I'm gonna say that this was really great and I hope that you write more.

I was surprised by the silence thing myself; I expected to have to get out the Shriekback or the Saliva, possibly some Murder City Devils. But he just wanted quiet so he could brood, poor bastard.

Before I write the sequel I think I need to watch D3 again, so I have to wait for my DVDs to get here. I guess I could go rent it, but I don't know if I'm that desperate. We'll see. I just saw D2 this past weekend on Disney so it was fresh enough to get the basics down, but it's been ages since I saw the third one.

Anyway. Yay, thanks for encouraging my insanity. I'm really glad you liked it. I'm just glad to be writing something. Considering how much I usually write, a week is a really long dry spell for me.

You already ordered them? Why am I not surprised? Have fun watching them.

I missed it? Crap. That's my favorite one.

You too. Your fic is encouraging me to keep looking for Bash Brothers slash. (The Ice Cream one was updated today, by the way.)

Well, it's not like you weren't busy.

As for me, I'm gonna get my mom to bring me to go rent them this weekend, I think. D2 and D3, I mean. How much did the set cost you, anyway?

[carolinecrane]

I generally get my DVDs from glacierbaydvd.com via ebay, but I'm pretty sure you can buy directly from their site as well. They don't sell pirates and they have a good customer service policy. I paid around $22 for the 3-DVD set. Super cheap, but it's The Mighty Ducks. Not a big demand, I'd imagine.

[carleton97]

Wow. Just...wow.

[carolinecrane]

Yeah, yeah. I'm already broken, it's not like that's a big shock.

Re:

True, and it's not like I don't have my own compartment on the Hell Tram.

[carolinecrane]

Well I'm certainly not throwing any stones. And I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't seen the movie this weekend and noted (again) how incredibly slashy those two are. It's text. Not for everyone, certainly, but it's definitely canonically supported.

I made myself wait to read this until I knew I'd be able to give some decent feedback. After having read it I don't think I was ever going to be able to give decent feedback in the first place. How do you do this to me? Where do you find these perfect words? How do you get so much beautiful heart-breaking emotion into one piece? How is it possible to reduce me to a gibbering puddle of goo with just one. fucking. story?

This is gorgeous. It's so perfect I cannot think of a way to say how perfect it is. I love the way you wrote Fulton. You wrote him so desperate and confused and... exactly like he should be written. I love the descriptions and the imagery you used. I loved that kiss against the door the morning after. I loved the way that he wants to talk to Portman but doesn't know what to say and wouldn't be able to say it even if he did. I love every single word you wrote and if I wasn't already a pathetic screaming fangirl about your fic I would be now without a doubt. Thank you for giving into the badwrong and writing this.

Edit

[carolinecrane]

I don't know what you're talking about. You give the best feedback. And I say that because you'll tell me the truth if you don't like something, not because you stroke my ego. Not that I mind that either.

I actually like this piece, which, as you know, is unusual for me, so I'm especially pleased to see that you liked it so much. It's funny, I had no real intention of writing Ducks slash, I was just talking because I wasn't writing anything. But then Fulton just started talking and the next thing I know, there was this whole story. I'm hoping the sequel can live up to the original, although it will be significantly less angsty and probably more smutty, so I guess that'll be comparing apples and oranges.

Anyway. All of that is neither here nor there. The point is -- thanks. And sorry about the whole melted brain thing.

Well, I'm glad you like my feedback and I'm very, very glad that you like it because you feel like you can trust me to be honest with you. That's a big deal for me when I do feedback. What would be the point of feedback if all it was was a big fat ego stroke? But I guess what I meant by saying I don't give decent feedback is that whenever I'm writing feedback I want to be able to say exactly what what the fic made me feel, you know? But when I really love something I can't put it into words why and it just irritates me and makes me feel like I didn't say enough. It's stupid, I know. I'm like that. heh.

I'm very, very glad that you like this fic because you really did a spectacular job and you should like it. And as for Fulton talking until you had a story? I totally understand what you mean. I think it's something about the badwrong pairings of the world getting sick and tired of not being written correctly, or in my case, at all. heh
