So I FINALLY finished my story for the zine I'm doing. I sent it off to my betas with fear in my heart (because that's the way I am, and these women are tough. Good, but tough) and I get one reply with a reasonable amount of edits and a lot of compliments. Very wonderful compliments, coming from this lady, because I know she won't lie to me. She said she got a lot of "physical reactions" !!!!!**&! (so I guess my sex scenes weren't laughable) and not all were just sexual, either. I hope it didn't want to make her puke!

My other beta lady gave me a few edits and not much in the way of comments at all, so I'm wondering if the story isn't to her taste. That's me, always wondering if I've fallen short somehow. There is no peace for the perpetually esteem-challenged. (Otherwise known as the "oh I suck" syndrome.) No matter, my heart tells me the story is pretty fucking damned good, so I'm going to believe my heart for now.

I'm having this horrible itch to do an AU type story where I really just half-way kill Mr. Hutchinson. I mean, go for it, down and dirty, put him through hell, strip him of his humanity. Can you see a pretty blond Hutchinson half-dead in the dirt somewhere? Then maybe I can have Starsky bring him back. Wonder why I've got such a powerful urge to lay the guy so low? (Pheral's probably all happy with the whumping thoughts, aren't you?;)

Then I've got these VIDS in my head that won't go away. About three for S&H and about the same for ASJ. I have pretty concrete ideas for all of them, never mind all the other songs floating around I'd like to play with. What's a person to do? There is NOT enough time in the world!

Thanks for the website tip, I'll definitely check it out!

Oh! It's all the same story? That somehow makes it even *better*, lol. Is this for the, um...I'm going to screw up the name. Like Water, Like Fire? Like Fire, Like Ice? Something like that, lol? Well, whichever one it's going in, you don't have to post anymore excerpts...I am looking for an excuse to break into the strange and beautiful world of zines ;) It *is* pretty good bait, though. Just let me know when it's available for order? Or if there will be copies for purchase at, like, ZCon? :)

but I must have done something right, huh?

Completely. lol I don't want to come across as a complete weirdo (I'm not, I'm really not), but your vid basically, um, changed my life - what it introduced me to and all. So, uh, thanks :)

I'm hoping it will be at Zcon, but I can't be there personally. I think they have an orphan table to sell zines, though, so maybe.

Also you know I'm gettin' a boner over you telling me I changed your life;) What, it introed you into slash? Good Lord.

Oh, it's "Like Water, Like Fire". There's a poem to go with it, explain it some.

What, it introed you into slash? Good Lord.

lol, well, not quite that drastic ;) I was already a slash fan from other fandoms, but I just mean that your vid showed me S&H (sidenote: which, um, I consider the only 'real' slash now). I don't know. S&H has changed my life in some ways, and it's because of your vid that I found it. Craziness. You are teh awesome :)

*crosses fingers for orphan table*
