So, for the first time in 2 years, I'm moving, so I'm looking through things I haven't seen in about that time. In a box with old photos I found a small old notebook that contains the following:
"If there were two words that defined Justin Timberlake at 16, they were 'self-confident' and 'horny.' That, combined with a crush that had been brewing since he was 14 and a half, meant that Joey -- high as his morals were -- didn't stand a chance."
--That was the opening of the EPIC Justin/Joey fic that Mere and I plotted out together over about 7,000 emails when I worked at the Most Boring Job Ever. We never wrote it and I don't have the emails anymore, but it's the best fic I never wrote. Around the same time I believe we did an extensive JC/original character fic. And a Britney Mary Sue. Man, it was fun when I didn't have to WORK at work...
The notebook also contains this snippet, which I have no recollection of ever having written and no idea what else was supposed to go with it:
"Lance squished in next to Chris and said, 'So, thanks a lot, Joey. My mom now thinks Chris and I are having big, gay sex.'
Chris whooped, 'yeah baby,' and made kissy noises in Lance's direction.
Joey raised his eyebrows and said, '*big* gay sex? Clearly your mom has never seen Chris.'"
yeah.
Man, fandom was fun.

Jae is doing these cool sentence long fic things in her LJ and I decided to try my hand at one. A sentence is usually how far I get in my writing, so it made sense.
COG
When she fired Larry and announced her retirement from the cover of Us Weekly, Kevin thought it'd be the end of the marketing machine and the beginning of a quiet life together, but watching her comb through the gossip mags every week to see if exerpts of her latest letter to the fans has been included, he realizes the wheel is still - always - turning.

I would just like to have the link to Britney's Honeymoon Poem posted in my LJ, so I can always easily find it. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?!?!?!
I really really hope Britney keeps writing poetry, cause that was seriously the best thing I've ever read. In the world, people, in the WORLD. In fact, it's inspired me to write my own poem about Britney, in the style of Britney. I've called it "Private Life":
I used to dance on stage, my booty I'd shake
Till I got married, said, "I'm taking a break"
I fired my manager and stopped my career
"Britney, what are you doing," they called out in fear
But I'm in charge now, I'm out on my own
Hear that, Us Weekly, I said, "leave me alone!"
No more covers about me, I solemnly swear
til Aurora pops out with a full head of hair
Got you again, now you're speculatin
if Kevin and I have been procreatin
It's none of your business, my life is now private
Until my next poem, Hugs and kisses, Love, Brit

I am prevailing over my computer, I think. it is now letting me use one program...slowly...if I have patience. So, I wrote this fic the other day while listening to the Brahms' Requiem. Title shamelessly stolen from a phrase in the second movement, which, you know, was taken from the bible, so I've now become so pretentious that I'm naming my fic after biblical themes. Just call me Ian McDuff, baby.
Here it is:
( Flowers Thereof )

I just found my old journal, which has some really interesting real life thoughts from 2001, but also has some really interesting fic stuff, like the work-in-progress "Stop Restless," which is interesting to see how different the original was from the finished.
But, anyway, I found this old drabble that I don't think I ever posted anywhere:
Jamie Lynn wants to be a superstar, but she's so many dimensions and Britney can't bear for any of her edges to be smoothed out. She tells Jamie Lynn to take her time and just be herself, but Jamie Lynn has already learned to say, "I wanna be an even bigger star than Britney when I grow up."
Britney grabbed her mother once and said to her, "Don't let Jamie Lynn make the same mistakes I did," but her mother looked back at her and smiled gently. She patted Britney's smooth cheek and said, "We didn't make any mistakes, baby."
I had so much I wanted to do with Jamie Lynn and Britney and Lynne, but then Jae wrote the fic I wanted to write better than I ever could, so I think I gave up. Above is one of the remaining snippets.
For anyone who cares, the lost epic Lance fic is also in the journal, should I ever care to revisit...

1:51 am - You cannot resist the blond!
|
I would like to state for the record that I loved Paris long before she ever got with Nick, and I will love her when she's done with him, still. And for now? I love the blond.
[Camera Whore]
"I don't want to be a story in Us Weekly."
Nick/Paris
Keep the crack coming, people! Thanks to everyone who loves them, and especially thanks to the FREAKS who hate Paris so much they can no longer participate in fandom. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out! Oh yes, and thanks to kel., CJ, and Mere for the read throughs.
Feedback of all kinds loved and appreciated! :)

1:19 am - Writer's Commentary
|
So, Maggie did commentary for her Britney fic, and I loved it so much, I thought I'd have a go at a serious commentary.
[Most Natural Tendency - Writer's Comentary ON]
It's in his blood
Hopefully this isn't woefully pretentious. If it is, please tell me so I can use my ladder icon at myself. ;) Hopefully people enjoy it, though it doesn't even matter to me if they do, because just revisitng this fic brought me a lot of joy, whether or not anyone else cares about it. And I actually mean it this time. Usually I'm just a total attentionwhore who's *trying* to be PC.

8:04 pm - Update!
|
Ok, because I can never resist an opportunity to make fun of myself, fandom, and Justin (not necessarily in that order), I did fic commentary.
I realize the original idea was to talk about the *deeper* meaning of your fic and talk about how you decided on different things and what they mean and...like, that didn't interest me at all.
But snark? Snark I can do. Thus I present:
[Not An Act - Writer's Commentary ON]
There are a lot of ways to love someone (for example, in the backseat of kate's 88 Toyota Carolla)
And hey, if you didn't read the story the first time around...you can still skip it and just read the funny parts, helpfully italicized for your skimming pleasure! Enjoy!

[Five First Times That Never Happened]
it's just like the first time
Justin/Britney
Thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) throughadoor for gleefully discussing each thing and then poking and proding me until I wrote them. And the fantastic beta action. Without her, this story would have a completely different ending. Whew! Thanks also to CJ and to Nia, who gave me the idea.
Comments and crit in all forms loved, either here or at bluevanila@aol.com.

5:32 pm - Ficish
|
So, last week or so, I read an lj entry by wavinggrain that really made me think, and then I had a big long conversation with jae_w, which made me think even more. It made me want to write (which is incredibly welcomed since I rarely get inspired), and so I wrote this little piece. I make no promises, but:
( Nothing to Write Home About )
Crit and comments welcomed and appreciated and loved.

1:18 am - SeSa

So, I hear the authors have been announced, so now I get to pimp my own fic, or something. This year, I got assigned some things I *really* didn't think I could do (such as JC/Lance, also there was mention of a slaves AU), so I did some other things I *sorta* didn't think I could do. In other words, my first crossover and my first ever AU. I hope everyone enjoys:
[Columbus Circle]
just being in New York is enough to focus on
AU, JC/Nick, amongst others
Thanks first and foremost to katienyc, without whom this never would have been a fic let alone an idea. I blame it all on her. Also on a day spent sitting in Columbus Circle followed by a dinner in Cafe Spice. Thanks also to CJ and Mere for the beta action, even though I mostly ignored them. Thanks for the laaaaaate night work, guys!

SeSa - so I finally read it, and sent my SS FB, if the little fb machine worked (not that I'm doubting Georgina's mad coding skills, but, you know). Go read my fic, it's the only Brian/Nick fic in the bunch, yo, and there's a really cute shaving scene. Also, it's SHORT, aka the perfect length. Whee.
Now off to read some others before wrapping the presents and going the fuck to bed.

So, this post is for whoever my secret santa was because if you're like everyone else in the fandom, you've probably been obsessively checking my LJ to see what I thought of the story. Or maybe I overestimate my own importance. Whichever, the point is this:
I have somehow become deathly ill (Pet, I'm blaming you. Kidding) and am a miserable couch-sitting lump. I haven't read it. I figure that since my head currently feels like it might burst, reading fic just isn't a good idea.
That being said, the person I wrote for has posted that she liked the fic, which made me quite happy. I'm glad you liked it. :)
and now I go snuffle and moan on the couch some more.

rossetti and I are starting a new cooking company. Vodkas for cooking. Everyone likes vodka sauce. What if there was pesto vodka for your pesto sauces?? What about potato vodka for soups, mashed potatos, or for the jews, latkes?? Garlic vodka, onion vodka, parsley vodka, mushroom vodka. Spice up your sauces. Asparagus for your cream of asparagus soup? Rossetti is saying something that I don't understand. It sounds like dyke-on, like get your dyke on, but
it6's DAIKON
she claims that it's japanese. I guess she's in charge of the asian line. bok choy and the foreign mushrooms (by the way, why ae there two i's in shiitake?).
Anyway, launching in our second year, if no one else horns in on the market, is our dessert vodkas. Strawberry for your stawberry milkshakes, raspberry for your raspberry tart. Lime for your other vodka, oh, I mean key lime pie. Peach and mango.
OMG, we just thought up a new line! Coffee ones. We could sell it to Starbucks, because! Vanilla bean, cocoa bean, is there a caramel bean, Rossetti says no, but she made cinnamon vodka, so that can go to starbucks too, right?
anyway, we can't talk too much because it might give away the secret recipe way we make it, but, um, wait, what as I talking about? Oh yeah, so would you be interested in buying some of our vodkas? I want to guage interest.market strategies and the like.
ps, Mere will design the labels for our vodka jars (not bottles, that's how you know they're for cooking). She doesn't know yet, but she's my bitch, so she will.
--the end--
*this post was brought to you by Rossetti's special recipe vodka and J Alfred's boyfriend's pot. mmm, weed.

3:26 pm - Posted for Embitca - Eminem, aka Pumpkin
|
This "news" item was taken down almost as soon as it went up, but I have the text because I love you all so. Ah, gay Eminem.
Dead link here. TEXT, preserved:
In what has turned out to be a nightmare two weeks for Detroit's most famous rapper after Benzino 'revealed Eminem's true colors' it seems that some even more sordid details of Eminem's (Real name Marshall Mathers) past have come back to haunt him.
A 34 year-old former Detroit resident, who asked to remain unnamed, yesterday admitted that he'd had a 'love affair' with the rapper 11 years ago. He showed grainy pictures of the two together and admitted that Eminem had given him a massive pay-off when he signed with Dr. Dre to stop his former partner from saying anything. The man also played some intimate tapes that Eminem had made for him; the Source are said to be ready to face bankcrupcy in order to get hold of them.
"Marshall, or 'Pumpkin' as I used to call him, was a very tender, very giving partner. He admitted that he felt comfortable with me, and that he'd finally stopped living in self-denial regarding his sexuality." The man admitted that Eminem had chosen to keep their relationship a secret, and ended the relationship when one of his friends found out. He also said that one member of D12 was aware of the affair, but refused to say who.
The man also stated that Eminem had continued to call and meet with him until 1999, often for sex. Asked if he knew of any other homosexual affairs Eminem may have had, the man stated "None that I know of." Asked if their relationship had been solely sexual, the man replied; "No, we expressed our love for each other in several ways; verbally and sexually. Pumpkin was very much in love with me, as I was with him." Asked why he chose to expose Eminem, he said "I don't see it as exposure. I genuinely believe that I'm rescuing his life; because he is in denial of his true self."
The man accepted no money for the interview.
*pumpkin???*
