Because? OW! That was bad. And when I say "bad" I of course mean "awesome and hilariously funny"! It was! This actually made me laugh out loud:
But he ate poison before she could find out who he worked for, and so she had to get a taxi and go to the building where she was to meet her real spy contact.

BWAAAHAHAHAHA! And lesbian-making Bond! And Meg...just, well, everything. Should we be worried that I find it frighteningly plausible that she really WAS a secret agent throughout the actual series? *ponders* NO NO NO NOnonononooooo...

And the author's wrap up there at the very end? OMG you spent wayyyy too much time at Pit of Voles for that research, didn't you? *pets*

I made you laugh out loud - yay!!!!! (I liked that bit too, partly because it was so random and never mentioned again).

As for Meg... I worry now that I'll never be able to write her seriously. And maybe she WAS an agent the whole time (that blond decorater guy in BDtH could have been a contact - he was awfully buff).

And here's the part I'm ashamed of... I'm pretty sure I've *heard* of the Pit of Voles, but never been there, and I'm not really even sure what it is. So really, that wrap up was all me.

Thank you for reading!!

OMG! This part was so awesome! How could you leave me hanging like this? (because it's really all about me, isn't it? Don't try to tell me otherwise.) I'm waiting with baited breathe for the next part of MY story.

OMG you should TOTALLY KNOW what happens next from all our deep personal chats and emails where I beared my sole to you about this story, so don't be such a H8R! Hey... are you the one that told mergatrude what happens next, because she totally couldn't have figured it out - I was keeping it a total secret!

I thought we were BFF!!!

I’ve left a fair trail of lesbians in my wake, so I know what you mean.

Oh god. LOL FOREVER.

This was more hilariously terrible than I could ever have imagined. The red, squishy strings of her heart! Ridiculous corny F/K! (With over-accented!Ray!) Ray's beautifully nobby hands! Everyone wants to be married forever and eternally for no apparent reason! The way all the plot is skipped over or covered in a couple of sentences!

I love it sooooooooo much!

mizface September 4 2009, 18:16:19 UTC

Oh yay! You have NO idea how happy I am to hear you enjoyed this!

I was honestly worried when I got this prompt, because I rarely write Meg, but then realized hel-lo that's a Good Thing for badfic. Smooches to you for loving Ray's 'ya' and the random desires for marriage! Plot skipping FTW!

I had terrific fun writing this, so thank you for the prompt!!

*dies* I love the shifting POV and the way you tell us instead of showing. That is the way to write fic!!

And on a more serious note, I adored that James and Meg both have turned their exes gay. *g* Very nice.

It's really really important to know what each character is thinking in a scene so I'm glad you noticed how I was paying attention to that detail, because of course I do this to be a much more better writer and really, since I know the story and am the Narrator, I'm supposed to be telling it, right?

*takes a breath*

Thank you! I believe the ability to turn exes gay is how you know they're the Best Spies Ever (of their gender). It's one of the Rules, I'm sure. Glad you enjoyed this!

Oh. Oh. I can't breathe from laughing.

She wanted to run her fingers through his chest hair, it looked so silky and pelt-like, like maybe a mink.
I want to give you chocolate for writing this line.

That was great. Breathless and hurried and the opposite of nuanced andandand tragic and let's just cut straight to the good bit with kissing and marriage proposals. *salutes you and your brain*

mizface September 5 2009, 20:28:31 UTC

You have no idea how tickled I am that the lesbian line has been so well received. I can actually *hear* Pierce saying that line, which should probably scare me but mostly makes me giggle.

*graciously accepts chocolate* That was a line that hurt me a little to write, I think.

the opposite of nuanced I LOVE that. And I think the best thing for me about writing badfic was that skipping plot and continuity issues was totally allowed.

Thank you so much for reading, and I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed it! Hopefully, my evil!AU!mizface brain will go back into its little scary universe now and let me write fic that isn't so bad.
