| A Birthday Fic for Deeds! Rated R |
[Jul. 7th, 2009|12:05 am] |
Because ![[info - personal]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) discodiva76 always, always, always is there to give great, enthusiastic feedback to Jack/Daniel writers,jdjunkie suggested that we give her a little something. So jd and I put our heads together (ow) and came up with... a WIP!
Well, okay, it wasn't intended to be a WIP but RL got in the way. So we present Deeds (and the rest of the wonderful J/D community) with a totally unintentional cliffhanger, to be resolved ever so soon, we promise, cross our hearts, really, we have more done than this, just another day or two, honest. :-)
( we may even come up with a title soon ) |

I don't DO historical AUs!
But it's funny what comes into one's head during a six hour drive (including a miserable hour going virtually nowhere.)
I've got this whole post-WWI road trip idea that would just take WAY too much research... but I do like research. *g*
Jack's driving to Denver for a job and picks up a hitchhiker, who's also headed for Denver.
Yeah, I'll have to do a little research just to see if my ideas are feasible, or if my dates are off.
I mean, what year would it have to be for a teenage boy to build a crystal radio set and wow everybody with the spiffy new technology. What could he pick up on it?
What kind of beat up old car would Jack be driving in that year, and what would the roads be like? How much other automobile traffic? I'm pretty sure there were already auto clubs and maybe they gave out road maps?
Did Americans really fly with the Royal Air Corps before 1917, or am I imagining that part?
Dammit. *g* |

So go, read and vote, here, now through the 31st.
My one non-Jack/Daniel nom is under "Other", and all the rest are scattered throughout the J/D category - which is the only category under slash!

| Oh brother: Another of Grandma's Romance Novels |
[Jun. 22nd, 2009|10:53 pm] |
"Life's Shop Window", by Victoria Cross, copyright 1907, 371 pages.
This is the oldest of the novels from Grandma's trunk, so far at least. The action begins somewhere around the turn of the century. Meet Lydia, sixteen years old and incredibly lovely. And sort of incredibly full of herself, or in love with her own loveliness, or something. She's hot and she knows it.
My first big problem with Lydia/the author/this book is that Lydia is five feet eight inches tall. In 1900? That is freakishly tall. I happen to know that about fifteen years ago, the average MAN in the United States was 5' 8". Fortunately, all the men she meets are even taller. (*sulks* I know how tall the average US man was 15 years ago because that's when I looked it up to find out if it was really my imagination that at 5' 10" I towered over nearly every man I met.)
Lydia is a housemaid/nanny on a farm in England. A stranger comes to study farming. Or something. It doesn't matter, because he will be spending all his time pursuing Lydia. His name is Bernard. He convinces Lydia that they should get married. So they sekritly elope.

If it weren't cloudy and sprinkling rain, it's hard to imagine how light it would actually still be. We still freak out over this kind of thing in central Indiana, since we only went on DST a few years ago. Nothing to really get worked up about when the clock says it's 8:15, but 9:15? Wow.
We're on the western edge of the Eastern Time Zone, so, for example, our sunset is about 45 minutes later than New York City's today.
And it just set while I was typing this, at 9:17. Think I'll go out and see what the sky looks like now. :-) |

| Porn Battle VIII - so many prompts! |

I'll never figure out how to do polls. *sighs*
So:
Jack/Daniel: listen, cabin, lake, fish, wine, whine, woods, muffled, game, reverse, slow, retreat, vacation, tent, teeth, fire, frozen, wasteland, summer, bandage, initiation, music, old, retire, dildo, famished, grief, laughter, Merlot, phallus, soothe, tentative, toy
While I'm cogitating on the love scene for the final Dreamverse chapter, I thought maybe I should write a sex scene? Since the Porn Battle has reached page 17 with nary a J/D smutfest in sight. *pouts*
Preferences? Speak right up! :-) |

I really, really did not need that.
The evil, incessant chirping of a smoke detector battery gone bad.
At 1:30 am, yet. In my bedroom.
On the bright side, I was still up.
Not so good - multiple Cosmos consumed. Very not conducive to stepstool climbing and battery changing. It took me quite a while to realize that the battery definitely only went in one way.
Which meant that the new battery I was installing was also n.g., hence the continuation of the evil, incessant chirp, chirp, chirp.
Climbed down, opened up a new package, climbed back up, inserted new new battery.
All Quiet on the Western Front.
*relieved sigh*

In other news, the final Dreamverse chapter only has one scene left to be written. It's the love scene. I'm sure you're all happy to know that there is one. :-)

Help me if you can! I've read a phrase that I can't quite bring to the tip of my typing fingers. It means, roughly, to jump to conclusions, and it goes, roughly: something-ing ahead of your data.
Ring any bells for anyone? :-)
