ravenswordI need to remember to stop on my way home and get money orders to pay rent.
I'm thinking I may get out to see Les Mis this weekend finally. Anyone interested in meeting me in Dublin to see it?
Work continues to be annoyingly work like and I have lots to do, which I prefer to having nothing to do.
So, this morning I got a comment on my AO3 posting of the story "Scattered", which is the last arc in a trilogy based in a very fucked up Supernatural AU. The basic premise is that John was bitten by a creature (that I made up) similar to an incubus and it causes him to have sexually violent black outs which are fixated on Dean. By the third arc, John has figured out what has been happening, and that it's been going on for a couple years now and he's despondent. Dean is trying desperately to hold his family together even though he's falling apart and Sam is delusional believing they can be happy together.
Now, I include "Major Character Death" in the warnings on the fic. The story itself is so dark and the characters so mentally unstable, it was obvious to me that death was inevitable and that the likely cause of that death would be suicide or murder/suicide.
This person's complaint is that I do not specifically warn for suicide. My annoyance is that if just "this character kills himself" is a trigger, but the REST of the story isn't...well...I don't get you. It makes no sense to me that a character does horrible, bloody, sexually driven acts against his own son without knowing it, learns it, and does the only thing he knows to be right to attempt to fix it, and what you object to is the inevitable end. It makes no sense that a character is abused, raped by his father and seduced by his brother, that he is forced to endure the unthinkable over and over again, can not stop his father's death, and watches his brother fall to darkness is not going to end it before he lets his brother become the monster his father hated himself for being....and the part that causes you pain is the moment he finds peace?
There's a part of me that thinks I should be more sympathetic, that I should go back and re-tag it with all the tags that might possibly, even tangentially, apply...but the bigger part is annoyed and I'm not sure why I'm annoyed and that's annoying me even more.
Can you say "hello PMS"?
I'm gonna just let it go for the moment though I think. I'll look at it tonight or tomorrow.
In writing news, I'm less than a thousand words into my Dean Winchester/Oliver Queen man pain epicness (needs to be 8000 words). I'm writing in Dean's POV, because I am not certain on my Oliver, and setting it in Oliver's city, but Dean's world, if that makes any sense. I'm thinking it will include a fist fight, a Supernatural baddie, injuries, being trapped in semi-close quarters, distraction sex, big bad fight with baddie, Dean learning some new fight techniques, not to mention sex moves, and goodbye sex. That should cover it, no?
Let's see...what else?
Money continues to be stupid, and while I have a couple of people who want me to do photo shoots for them, none of them seem ready to commit. I need to come up with about $400 between now and February 18th. I'm waiting for one other person who paid for words/pictures to tell me what she wants, but once I'm done with the Dean/Oliver story, I'm free until she does.
So, if anyone wants words or editing, now's a good time for me. You know what I would love? Someone commissioning a big, long juicy Justified story. Or White Collar. Something new and different for me, you know?
How about you tell me what show you're watching that you think I should watch too and why? (doesn't matter if I already watch, I still like to know why you love it)
