FIC: Hipster Anatomy and Mating Rituals (Community, PG-13), Part 1/2

Holy crap. It's been awhile since I've ficc'd.

I think I needed a pleasant distraction for myself. And this seemed...well...not easy, but at least a fun challenge.

Part 2 will probably be posted next weekend.

Thank you! I'm glad the dialogue rang true to you.

I actually did some light editing to the parts I posted in the comment thread, mostly because there were some clunker lines in there.

I swear, I spend more time editing what I wrote than I do actually writing it by a factor of three. (Sad but true.)

I lot of the writing style above isn't my usual, so I'm glad to see the good response.

I honestly don't see it going beyond two parts, unless LJ is a bear again and won't let me post the second part in its entirety.

This is beyond fantastic! It's spot ON and hilarious.

liz_marcs January 20 2013, 19:05:06 UTC

Yay! Thank you!

I generally haven't written short-story humor (I tend to write long, plotty fics), so this is a huuuuuge stretch for me.

I'm glad all the character voices ring true.

That was brilliant, just brilliant. I have no words, because I'm laughing too hard. Can't wait for the second part. :DDDDDD

Thank you! It's gratifying to read. I can write humorous exchanges, but maintaining it through an entire fic is hard.

I've only seen a few episodes of Community, but I really love this fic! Can't wait for part 2.
thanks for writing & sharing this with us

You really should give the series a shot. The whole thing is available on HuluPlus (assuming you have it).

The way I've described it is: The Kids in the Hall had an illegitimate love-child with Friends and The Twilight Zone in a odd kind of three-way.

I actually didn't give it a chance until last year when I stumbled across their alternative reality episode. I got totally hooked.
