this is just fanfic waiting to be written (plus stupid weight stuff.)

What the hell is that? A probably-not-worksafe story regarding a male chastity device and some very confused hospital cleaning technicians.

I love this. Once again proves that truth is far, far stranger than fiction.

And more sad annoying weight loss stuff: If your pants are above a size fourteen, you'd better hope they're fire retardant. Woman accused of cheating on her diet with cough drops. Ummmmmno. (I could go on a rant here about how diets don't work, but we've been there before, and I don't want to miss Law and Order.)

(Seaners just came out of the bedroom with a blanket over his head, stimming. So cute. <3)

(second: I want to join mogulsquee, but it looks like you need a secondary and tertiary fandom, and I don't watch enough anything to have one. Ah well, you should join instead.)

Edit: Well, I could probably write Law and Order fic ... oh hell, why NOT. I'll try. <3

Thank you for the link to the essay about medical devices!

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! :-) Your followup post cracked me up. :-D

[tfcocs.livejournal.com]

Look what that post inspired!

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

That is /awesome./

I've only ever written one fic in my life, but that comm makes me want to write more. It's a scary idea, though, having to make a commitment to be able to write something. In my head, I'm both running towards it as well as running away. ;)

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too, actually. :-) I can write House fanfiction with a reasonable degree of confidence at this point, but anything else still makes me worry way too much. :P

The only one I've ever actually written was a slightly-long drabble about Torchwood, done for a friend of mine who was trying to get me over my fear. There are several shows I know Pretty Damn Well, so could prolly write stuff within them, but I'm still skirred for some reason. I wish I knew why, because then I could work on fixing it.

It might be that writing feels so much more personal than any other art I do...

Part of it with me is that I'm spooked about getting Stuff Wrong.

[mydwynter.livejournal.com]

Couldn't you have somebody cool who also knows the fandom beta it for you? It would be like a safety net.

I have this weird paranoia that my writing just generally sucks and eventually I'm going to find out about it. *laugh* Which, from most indications in that direction, is ridiculous, but there you are.
(Which is not to say your idea is bad - not at all - I'm just paranoid. But I should, you're right - it would help.) :-)

[mydwynter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from. Paranoia isn't really rational. Unless they really are out to get yo--yeah, that joke wasn't funny the first time. Right.

Anyway, if you want to try stuff out, I like to think I'm a safe beta. But maybe you'd want to judge my writing first so won't feel so much like you're jumping into a black hole. But that would mean I'd have to write something. And then... and then....

Hmm.

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

*chuckle* At least it'll be a good thing for both of us? :-)

[mydwynter.livejournal.com]

Permaybehaps, there.
