I need to get myself less excited about writing fanfiction ONE OF THESE DAYS. I told myself I was going to take November off and work on original stuff, but this morning I had a NEW SOUTH PARK IDEA asdoifjdijfd and I really want to write it. ;__; I'm glad this ignited a spark for you, and I hope to see you writing fic for these guys again, yours were always some of my faves. ;__;
As for wank, there were just some comments that pissed me off on the meme and then one that was RIGHT ON and it put me in RAGGEEE mode but now that's out of my system and I feel better. :)
Okay, so I am a little ~partial~ to anything that has to do with My City, but it's partly because it's so easy to picture for me (I felt guilty writing even a small part of a K/Mc fic that was set in DC because I felt like it was cheating), but this was so much fun to read with all the sites in mind and imagining Sulu and Chekov on the metro and Janice taking pictures of the (admittedly pretty) metro stations and Kirk and McCoy terrorizing Georgetown students on M street and asoiiofajewjf hahaha, this was so much fun because of all of that and more. I am really partial to McCoy's character because I love his dry sarcasm, rough exterior and marshmallow inside (and because he's the character I identify with the most /moments of bitter self-revelation), and all the things I really liked about him came out in this, even though he obviously wasn't the focus.
Sulu and Chekov are absolutely adorable in this, sweet and exciting and a lot of this (especially the fantasies about spies) made me think of mirroriste's Cold War spies AU that broke
( ... )
I'm so glad you enjoyed this!! <3 I love Your City a lot, and said last time I visited (five years ago!) that I could live there, and I felt that way even more strongly this time around, I really have pined for the place since I left! and lol Janice was me on school field trips, I specifically remember this one time when a more ~affluent~ member of the gross gifted group that I always felt out of place in remarked on the fact that I was taking pictures of the inside of a hotel lobby as if that was like, unfathomable -- dude, it was like, the second hotel I'd been in in my entire life! /moment of bitter/chip on shoulder self-revelation, lol
( ... )
It took me a minute to track it down, since this was posted AGES AGO, but here it is. It's been a long time since I've thought about it, but ;______;
I really liked this kind of Chekov, especially from Hikaru's point of view, who is of course so smitten with him that he would notice Pavel feeling awkward and understand what it is, but not to the extent to which Pavel is limited by his embarrassment. /ramble
Today was a cold, cloudy day and the last few days have been rough, so stumbling across fic about all the things I love (Sulu/Chekov! Awkward Kirk/McCoy on the side! HSAU! DC! omg!) was such a nice break that I took my time to savor.
Chekov here is my favorite kind of crush object to write about, lol, kind of spacey in a way but really smart, and quirky in a quiet way that only someone who is in love with him would notice. ;__;
I'm so glad this was a break from a cold day! It's freezing here today, I think I need to write about South Park, lol! ;__;
Thank you so much! I'm tooling around with some original YA romance right now, so I'm glad to hear that this had that feeling, that's what I was going for. Do check out the Spy Museum -- I seriously got kind of emotional in the WWII section, I blame "Moonlight Serenade!"
ahh, thank you so much! I love the idea of this as Hikaru's memories of a great time in his life, and how Pavel would be touched by the fact that he remembered, like, the geese honking. ;_____;
"hey let me tell you how it took Pavel three days and ghost baby to convince me he liked me"
aosdijfodjf yess!! I need to write more fic about them as old men who are reminiscing about their youth, clearly. ;__;
I'm glad Hikaru felt authentically teenager-ish here ~ I don't often miss the days when my ~crush~ of the moment ruled my entire thought process, but I do remember that feeling vividly even now.
Ah, I figured someone would fear that Olsen might die -- having him be the fourth roommate was viivi's brilliant idea, I was seriously stuck on the fic before that!
And yess, I was initially thinking that the Shark Week drinking game would be epic, but then: okay, they're 15 year olds doing serious drinking for the first time, they're going to just fall asleep and be sick. :D
Mmm... meandering HSAU chulu is win win win in my book! This was lovely. I particularly liked Sulu's grand, gallant fantasy worlds-- what an adorable imagination. And I'm SO with Pavel that Sulu would look amazing in the hat. Oh, I do love the hats. (also have been pondering writing airline!au fic... hehe.) I loved Pavel's strange combination of philosophical dreaminess and bouts of intellectualism. His poetic depictions of the Russian identity and of American art and of his past lives gave him such character. And I very much enjoyed how he was so instantly irritated at Hikaru's insinuation that he (Sulu) was not very smart and his pushiness in making Hikaru give opinions on art. And all the secret little touches and Kirk mooning after McCoy and being scared of ghosts and Pavel sorting the airline peanuts. Ah, HSAUs so full of UST and adorableness and spy museums. Could there have possibly been anything better to see on my f-list this morning? I'm thinking no.
Thank you so much! Sulu's fantasy worlds were really the original inspiration for this fic: as I was wandering through that museum I couldn't decide which daydream was better, a S/C HSAU or actual AU scenarios, then I decided I could work with both. :D I'm so glad you liked Pavel in this, I wanted him to seem kind of otherworldly but also ~one of the nerds~, and yeah, I've always liked the idea that Sulu would build Pavel's genius up way more than Pavel would ~ he wouldn't be interested in a dumb guy, but I can see how Sulu would see himself as dumb in comparison?!
