And the domestication of the dog continued unabated.

In Adjustments news, [livejournal.com profile] green_grrl rec'd me today, despite the fact that I'm still WIP. *hugs [livejournal.com profile] green_grrl very tight*

I am inspired to have the next chapter up by the weekend. You will be excited to know that I have 16 pages and have advanced the plot all the way through dinner and Daniel getting up the nerve to suggest sex.

Whoo hoo! All that's left to write is the pure smut! Smooth sailing now! And I have tossed the non-smut part to [livejournal.com profile] green_grrl for a beta, as I feel that I have glossed over a bunch of important stuff just to get it out of the way.

I hate that I can write 16 pages of this drivel and still feel that I have not touched all the bases.

*glares at brain*

And now, off to bed.

But for your amusement, I will cross post something from my RL journal.



Me and some of my other pornographer buddies were talking about whether or not we should protect chidren from the content of our fiction journals.

Please bear in mind that the discussion here is stictly about the written word. Not about pictures or drawings or motion pictures or even music. This is about the things we write only.

CK: come back to my thing. Reading is not the same as looking at pictures or buying sex toys. If a kid is old enough to read, and they are interested in reading, I say, let them read. They could just as easily check out Lady Chatterly's Lover from the public library. Or any number of lame-assed Harlequin type soft porn. Most kids who are too young for it are going to be turned off by it anyway, especially since most of what is possibly objectionable in your journal is gay sex. And any 11 year old who *wants* to read about gay sex should probably get an opportunity.

And yes, I believe I can differentiate between not really wanting my own child to read the twisted product of his mother's mind from not wanting him to read the twisted products of other people's minds... :)

I say tell the Nazi's to shove it.

Pornographer 1: For some reason, CK, your ramble reminds me of when my mother told me NOT to read Clan of the Cave Bear and Valley of the Horses when I was 12/13.

And what did I do?

I read them.

But when I realized there was good!sex to be had in Valley of Horses, I kind of just skipped to those parts with Jondalars throbbing manhood and Ayla's rosy flower.

*snork*

My mother was pissed when she found out, but her friend later told her, what did you expect? You told her NOT to, which is a sure sign that she'll be interested in WHY.

Pornographer 2: I remember reading that one!! He was too huge for any normal woman,
as I recall. *snerks*

Pornographer 1: Yes. And wotshername was JUST RIGHT.

It's like the 3 bears only the 3 vaginas.

Tooo small, too medium, juuuust riiiight.

The Mammouth Hunters was hilarous when Ayla starts seeing another guy and Jondalar gets all shirty and OMG ALPHA MALE JEALOUS INSECURE.

I'm like "Psssh, ditch his ass . . . or have a 3-some".

CK: And what a ridiculous thing to tell a 12/13 year old not to read, I think. I have not read them. Heard they were hideous.

My father MORTIFIED me when I was about that age. We used to browse the sci-fi/fantasy paperbacks together at the local library. He pulls a book off the rack - "This looks pretty good!" and handed it to me. It had one of those lurid covers with a less than scantily clad - ie practically completely unclad - woman on the front. MORTIFIED, I tell you. But good little Daddy's girl that I was, I read it. And the book was ACTUALLY JUST LIKE the cover.

*peers at father*

Pornographer 3: Back! And snickering at all your furtive, illicit, smutty reading. And here I thought you were the GOOD GIRLS.

Pornographer 2: *sputters* *coughs hysterically* Slash made me gay.

CK: There was HET ANAL SEX in that damn book. *peers at father more*

Pornographer 3: *spits coffee* Father of the Year award goes to Papa CK!




After which point the conversation deteriorated to the subject of threesomes had and wished for, and the corruption of virgins.

Yeah! It's such a great cheat! Don't want to write the tedious conversation about that thing that happened on the mission on the planet? Just imply that the conversation happened and move on! :D However, that's also what makes me worry that I have glossed over things. I can't ask the reader to do all the work...

I am glad it is not drivel. :) I think we have a difference in personality on this point. I usually think it's drivel while I'm writing it, but when I come back to it a while later I go, hmmm. OK. I can work with this. You obviously run with your first impression. Man. Arena would NEVER have gotten posted if I ran with my first impressions. Jeez, every single chapter of that sucker was like pulling teeth.

No no no! Not cheating! It's cutting out all the every-single-little-detail-from-point-A-to-point-B crap and delivering the gold. (Unfortunately zombie fic is completely linear. Am trying to do better with my gender bender but 's weird. Will kvetch later...)
