There's no denying. Something evil has taken over my brain

[donnaimmaculata]

I feel compelled to write Johnny Depp/Orlando Bloom RPS.

Um. Help?

*whimpers*

I don't even fancy him!!!11one

There, there.

At least Johnny will be there.

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Johnny'll save the day. Maybe I just should write pirate slash in the hope to thus quench the desire.

Personally I blame the weather.
This sudden, er, heat is not for everyone, I suppose.
Have a nice cold glass of champagne (and a nice cold shower *g*) and it will pass.

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know whom to blame: makesmewannadie recced an RPS fic lately that I liked, and it set free my deep and dark desire to slash Johnny and Orlando. God knows why!

A cold shower might help, though. And some good, hard Snape smut.

Of course something evil has taken over your brain dear. It's nothing to be worried about. And you don't have to like him. Pretty body + Pretty body + Propensity for Smut = Fanfic.

It's the same reason I once wrote LotR RPS even though I've never really liked it and have never written it again.

That said...I would love to read JD/OB. It could be a fascinating dynamic.

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I really feel much better now. Still shallow and cheap, seeing as I'm focusing on the body alone, but at least in good company.

LotR was the first fandom in which I ever read RPS, even though I'm not a fan, either. And gradually I've come to realise (as I told ellensmithee lately) that the only kind of RPS fics I read are those with Orlando in them. God knows why, as he's so not my type. But something about him screams, "Slash me!"

Johnny/Orlando would be, if nothing else, very pretty.

[dementedsiren.livejournal.com]

Very pretty indeed.

And I'm a firm believer that Orlando, with those hair/lips/eyes/body parts, does send out subliminal messages in all of his movies screaming just that.

I mean, it can't be coincidence that he has better chemistry with his male co-stars than his female ones, can it?

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

He's never had many female co-stars so far, the poor boy. Little wonder he gets slashed left, right and centre.

with those hair/lips/eyes/body parts

I find the body pretty masculine, actually. It's the form of male body I happen to like. Thin yet defined.

*can't believe she's discussing Orlando's body parts*

Shoot me now, please.

[dementedsiren.livejournal.com]

Shoot me now, please.

Nuh uh, not until you right the fic. Then, we'll see.

I see what you mean about the form though - the slim but muscular body type is very appealing... Wonder what other body parts that applies too.

I'm going to stop now. For both of our sakes.

*goes and hides*

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Wonder what other body parts that applies too.

I was doing so well. After a late-night chat with kaysha last night, I had myself convinced that writing RPS is a Bad Thing and that I really don't want to follow the evil lure. But you had to bring up the, ah, body parts again, didn't you?

*goes and hides with you*

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

Hmm, different. I dunno, I don't really get RPS *shrug* I mean, visually I can think someone would look fabulous snogging someone else... but these are people that we don't know, so how could they be characterised? Mt brain explodes somewhere around that point. So for me I think - pictures = mmmmm, words = huh?

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

I know! That's a massive problem. Characterisation aspects can be derived from, oh, interviews and articles, but that requires a lot of research I'm not prepared to invest and still remains inaccurate. That much said, characterisation is always a difficult issue, as we can observe on a daily basis in the HP fandom. Just because you've got a character presented on paper doesn't mean it's easy to write about them.

Writing RPS I'd also feel like a filthy stalker, invading the privacy of real people. That is somewhat worrying.

I'm not really into RPS. That's why I'm so baffled about my irrepressible desire. Must be the hormones *g*

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I find most celebrities rather dull, so I would never know enough to start me off. I wouldn't worry about the stalker thing, I'm sure they would rather someone wrote a story than camped outside their houses with a gun, you know? ;-)

Characterisation is rarely agreed on by anyone, but the idea of a sort of mix of none and almost limitless 'canon' is rather daunting.

On the other hand, I suppose I am writing half RPS for a challenge right now, even if the real person involved is long dead, and yours are certainly more physically appealing *g*

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they would rather someone wrote a story than camped outside their houses with a gun, you know? ;-)

I'm sure you're right, but it's not about them. It's about me! I feel like a sick weirdo! *is very moderately hardly distressed at all*

Luckily, the characterisation issue can be overcome easily, as I'm not interested in long, character-driven fiction. It's all about the steamy sex, baby!

So you're writing historical slash, then? Or bible slash? *g*

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

I feel like a sick weirdo!

If it helps, I'm sure lots of people would call us all that already *g*

So you're writing historical slash, then? Or bible slash? *g*

Heh! I did threaten to write Jesus Christ Superstar slash in a conversation the other day *g* That's about as close as I get to the bible! This is historical person / HP character slash. So weird, but lots of pervy fun so far...

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

If it helps, I'm sure lots of people would call us all that already *g*

Yes, yes. Very helpful. Thanks a lot, Llama ;-)

The idea of Jesus Christ Superstar slash cracks me up. Dunno why. That's so sick, and yet so plausible. (->They've turned the crucifixion into a musical. Why not take the musical a step further?)

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes. Very helpful. Thanks a lot, Llama ;-)

Hee. And the JCS thing... well it might be the memorable production I saw years back that's responsible for that. Every gay man I knew was in it, just about, including two cute ones who used to walk the dogs with me and spend the whole time snogging. Fun *g*

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. Artists! *g*
