This is great: http://community.livejournal.com/sixlittlewords, started by the fabulous gblvr. There have already been some amazing posts!

Here's my first set of contributions, btw:


Harris and Dietrich? So doing it.


Spock only pretends to dislike McCoy.

McCoy has a pointed ear fetish.


Legolas watches Gimli when he sleeps.

Gimli dreams about elves and starlight.


Rats heat up warm desert nights.

Not only jeeps are jump-started.

... in a sauna!!!!

Hubby was flipping and spotted SL on That '70s Show. Yay for flipping! And yay for TiVo - we were able to snag it, upload to the 'puter, and screencap.

( check it out! )

What a cool exercise!

I actually wrote two responses to keikokin's challenge, one slash, one gen. Well, sort of gen.

These are quick-and-dirty (not that I'm promising NC-17 or anything) and may very well wind up being rewritten and incorporated into something longer.

I'll try to get to the others in the next few days.

Here's the prompt:

"You know how to make Eggs Benedict? I'm impressed."

"Not as impressed as I was last night."

( the slash version )

( the sort-of gen version )

Remember the episode in which Harris is advised by a man from the future to stop investing in gold and invest in zinc?

AOL just ran an article how the government is losing money by minting pennies (it costs 1.4 cents to make a one-cent piece). Here's an excerpt (emphasis mine):

Appearances aside, pennies no longer contain much copper. In the middle of 1982, after copper prices rose to record levels, the mint starting making pennies that consist mostly of zinc, with just a thin copper coating.

But these days, zinc is newly popular. Rising industrial demand and speculation have sent the price rocketing. Since the end of 2003, zinc prices have tripled. Gold, by contrast, is up only about 50 percent.

Sometime in December 2005 - I can get the exact date if it matters - Entertainment Tonight covered a Barney Miller reunion. I thought I taped it. :-(

Instead, I taped an hour of It's a Wonderful Life! AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Nobody on the Barney Miller yahoo list seems to have it, either.

Anybody got it? Willing to copy it? Will gratefully reimburse/swap/whatever. Heck, I'll write you Levitt/Scanlon fic if that's what you want (or promise *never* to).

Actually I've loved all of meritahut's entries in graphic form, but this one is for the few, the proud, the insane: the Harris/Dietrich slashers:

[p.s. this is not her usual drawing style]

Does anybody else want a copy of the Harris/Dietrich pimping tape? Email me privately with your address at flankingm @ aol.com - the original is still sitting in the top bay of the Go-Video, so I may as well run a few more off before I put it away.

Please check 'em out and make sure they work (yes, a cheap ploy to get you to read them and Be Converted To The Harris/Dietrich LOVE BECAUSE IT IS INEVITABLE AND THEY ARE SO DOING IT SQUEEE!!!!)

Ahem.

Anyway, here they are:

First of all, the icon was inspired by the same episode ("Secret Island") of 77 Sunset Strip that inspired an earlier post on the general theme of "slash is everywhere." Plus the picture was just too pretty to resist.

Second, a dear friend of mine, Keikokin, has begun writing copious and delightful Harry/Draco stories. ETA: They can be found here: http://www.adultfanfic.net Hubby and I were away earlier this week and she kindly gave our son a ride to and from school. Now, he knows what slash is and he's read the Very Secret Diaries, but I was still surprised to learn that not only did my friend tell him she was writing Harry/Draco, but he thought it was great and has been GIVING HER STORY SUGGESTIONS! Engorgement charms gone awry, magically invisible underwear... my innocent darling!

What could a mother do??? What else! He hadn't read any actual stories yet - so I gave him a copy of ( In Flamingo Delicto, the story I wrote for the ZebraCon writing contest. ) He pronounced it "demented," which if I understand him correctly is high praise indeed. :-)

I have often seen discussed the question of the correct age to introduce one's children to slash. In this case, it was seventeen and a half. This is not, however, intended to reflect in any way on other people's decisions about their own children, all of whom mature differently with respect to different issues.
