Paying the Price for My Writer's Block

[myrna1_2_3]

Yeah, that would be you guys.

Sorry, but I just can't seem to get a good, long story out of myself right now.

I can't even get a good, short story out of myself, but I'm tired of moaning about it and made myself finishing something. Now I'm making you read it. Or at the very least, look at the link to it

*whistles* I'm impressed.. the Domesticity series is probably my favorite of the fandom because you take Brian and Justin to new levels. It was brilliant. As always. Thanks.

See comment above. I have to because apparently CowLip won't!

Shame on them!

I'm so glad you like this series! Sometimes I like hanging with the guys when nothing overly dramatic is going on!

It reminds me of a quote from "Bringing Up Baby":

after all, in moments of quiet, I'm strangely drawn toward you, but - well, there haven't been any quiet moments.

Thanks again for such kind comments!

In all due respect, I think you could in fact, write B/J much better than CowLip ever will. Although I must pay homage to them for creating such characters. You lighten up on B being an asshole without making him unbearably pathetic.

And, that's the perfect quote.

Anytime! Comments are posted when comments are due.

Mmm, tasty. You had me fooled at the beginning. I thought you'd actually shifted gears to show us the domesticity of Michael, Ben, and Hunter. I wouldn't mind that but I do really like what you did with the POV, coming at Brian and Justin from a different angle.

Also, I enjoy Twitterpated!Justin. And he is so twitterpated. He's just gotten better at keeping it under control. ^_^

Maybe we should perform a ritual exorcism for your writer's block? But hey, I don't mind short stories at all. If you can't do long ones right now, maybe that means you SHOULD do short ones. :D

Oh heavens, I confess I never think of any of the other characters accept in relation to Brian and Justin.

Some sort of Hunter-talking-to-Justin-about-something fic is niggling at my brain, but I'm not quite sure what the story is there.

I'm not totally, 100% sure what twitterpated means exactly, but it's fun to say, and I like it!

Thanks much for your comments!

Then, by all mean, you must rewatch "Bambi" at once! All will become clear. And it IS a fun word to say and it covers so much. :D

Also, if you'd ever like a wall to bounce ideas off of, I'd volunteer any day.

Nice touch - having it through Michael's POV. It's a secret kink of mine to have him see what *we* see. Although I have to admit we rarely see anything as lovely as this. What a wonderful glimpse - the undercurrents of desire, love and companionship are all evident, and there's also *respect*.
I really enjoyed this - read it first thing on a Monday morning, and it gave me that little spark I need to continue the day without falling in a heap. So, thank you. :)

Oh no, thank you.

It's so weird to think it's already tomorrow where you are. By any chance, do you know if I had a good day? I'm just going to assume that I did. Or will.

Glad you liked the story!

Fucking Michael

I love your stories, Myrna. I seek out your stories. I crave your stories. But, I'm soooooo fucking sick of Michael and his lack of acceptance regarding B/J. So, FUCK MICHAEL. This was not my favorite thing that you've written. Not because it wasn't lovely, and not because I didn't thoroughly enjoy the banter between B/J. But, I just can't take one more fic/canon episode where Fucking Michael is peeping through a bush, under a window, through the bedroom slats, or behind a restaurant divider. He's pathetic. And, then he has the nerve to tell Brian that not everybody is consumed with their relationship when Brian tells him not to say anything about what he's heard. HAH! He is ALL consumed by it, and no matter how much evidence is shoved in his face, or gleened through voyeuristic maneuvers, he'll never, ever, ever get it. He's a plebe. A simpleton. Dense. Stupid. PATHETIC.

I'm going to watch TV now because I don't want to think about peeping!Michael anymore.

I wish I knew how you really felt. Subtlty is lost on me! :p

Hee!

Actually, I know what you're saying. It is a conventional plot point to have Evesdropping!Michael.

I think the moment where Michael gets it, or gets something, is interesting. Because the tv show is so utterly ambiguous about so much of the Brian/Justin relationship, I think a lot of fic writers look for clarity; they want to showcase, without room for an entire spectrum of interpretations, what exactly the Brian/Justin relationship is.

Michael's misunderstandings and doubts are simply a handy way of exploring the ambiguities and then laying them to rest.

At least that's my take on it!

Thanks for the comments! Any and all are always interesting to me!

Sorry about blowing up last night. It wasn't aimed towards you, HELL, they even show Michael that way in canon. He's always creeping around the corner to catch a glimpse. Ewwwwwww!!! Your story was lovely, as always. I'm just sick of HIM. The scene where he and Brian are in the steam room and M's talking about how Ben tied him up the night before still floors me. This is S2, and B/J are clearly and publicly a couple, and in love. Yet, what does M say? Something to the effect that B can't know what it's like to trust somebody so much because all he's got are his tricks. HELLO!!! What about Justin, you clueless moron???? Even in the newest S4 promo when they step outside Babylon. M even takes the opportunity to peek over to B/J when they're obviously oblivious to anyone and everyone else around them. Sigh. I'm just beginning to despise him, and I never really did before. Look!! I'm ranting again

It's Always a Pleasure ...

To read good dialogue between Brian & Justin. You capture their personalities so well
