JayDee

Heck if I know. I may be corrupted but I was never a champion.

Is it weird for me to think “that’s a very JayDee thing to write”?

Weird? Yes. Accurate? Also yes. 

All I know is my family tree on my mother’s side starts in a river and on my father’s side starts out in the flatlands where outsiders rarely travel.

*banjos play softly in the distance.*

...is WAY older than JayDee…  

I’m pretty sure I have shoes that are older than most gods.

What if you decided to go with “Ken cloned himself twice so he could have a threesome with himself”? 

I see the next week’s prompts are “reviled, repulsive, revolting” so I guess that one’s gonna be an autobiography for me…

Seems a tad narcissistic, doesn’t it?

Honestly, though, those prompts are perfect for just about anything horror-related.

Yep! So time to write a flashfic set at a gamer convention.

Thank you for the offer! I won’t risk the wrath of SWP1 by delaying you from your own work though :p

I’m sure I’ll get back into it at some point. I have done in the past!

Considering the news about the woman charged with murder after getting shot in the belly it is clear your Pregnant in Alabama was not scary enough compared to reality…

Actually I think you should worry less about lack of progress now and instead feel proud about the remarkable many good stories you have finished so far this year. You have delivered lots of quality stuff and it is given that you cannot keep that pace forever. Keep looking for inspiration and things will start to fit together again.

I would love chatting about story ideas if it helps your story muse going again, but it will probably need to be a bit later. Currently the family is packing for the two week trip and I will have limited internet and less private space than normal for a while.

Oh, man, that poor woman. She has all the horror of losing her baby and getting over that, and then they arrest her. Some real animals walking around calling themselves lawmakers out there.

I have the ideas, I know what I want to do, I just can’t seem to get it written down. But thanks, I guess I did do some good stuff this year, maybe it’s not so bad having another break!

I hope that trip goes well for the family there – I’m off on a bit of one myself for a few days the week after next and will be short of internet connection too!

“They treat me like furniture!”

So I felt kind of stupid when I realized that “Pre-Raphaelite” did not mean “painted before Raphael’s work” (which is why I was pointing to that Athenian vase) but instead referred to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood...a bunch of guys who started painting in the late 1800s.  Oops.

Unfortunately, Hylas and the Nymphs kind of monopolizes the Google results whenever I attempt to find paintings of nymphs from those guys.  Amusingly, though, Waterhouse did paint one of your muses!

Get it?  ’Cause it’s called Lamia and you...have a...shutting up now.

I used to know someone who had a print of that one on their wall! And, yeah, the more famous paintings were coloring all my search results too, which was why I thought I’d take a shot and see if anyone knew specifically. I think I’ll probably just refer to the style given they did so many classical themes (as well as Arthurian cycle and shakespeare and the like).

Lamia was always an interestingly tragic story.

*best George Takei voice* Oh, my.

It is.

Wish that’d work with the bosses at work….

I wish you good luck.

A very happy New Year, and may it bring only good things!  

Health and a wealth of happiness, dear fiction friend!

Happy new year, JayDee!

And to you… happy new year all!

Thank you!

We’re doing a quiet Thanksgiving this year, because it’s too damned cold here to do anything else, but I’m making the turkey and all the trimmings because I love turkey!

Didn’t realize you did that.  Though I supposed a spurious [nosex] tag mixed into the lot would raise some suspicion.   More practically, a wall of tags can be intimidating to potential readers, so there’s no real incentive to overtag (this was part of the impetus for me to adopt my current approach, helping the reader figure out which tags are the very important ones to pay attention to, ie, my stories tend to feature a lot of [exhib] and minor1/2).  

* My autocorrect wanted to make that “1/2” into ½.  I don’t know if I want to know the meaning to [minor½]

If Minor½ were a tag, I’d probably have used it by now. (I’m sure at least some readers would agree that in utero sex deserves its own trigger tag.)

Could be twins in the womb… I mean, do we really know what twins are up to in there?   Especially the evil one?

Out of curiosity, what are the other, non-juice prompts?

I’ve done some of the other week’s prompts in the past so the two oldest unlocked weekly prompt threads I haven’t done the words for yet are:

Weeks 192/193 - 22 June 2014 – hamate, haptic, haslot

Week 196/197 - 27 July 2014 – jetsam, juice, jinx

Jinx and jetsam could totally also work in a pwp. But since they’re ending up in a non-sex chapter I guess I’ll use Jinx for a reference to the old game of two folks saying the same thing unless I think of something better.

I did the first 52 prompt weeks, back when they would be available for one week only and then locked. There’s a whole bunch of locked ones I never did between then and when they stopped locking ‘em – but if I somehow manage to do all the unlocked weekly prompts I can always do the locked ones, credit the forum for providing the word/s used and just not have a post in the locked thread. Heh.

The weekly prompt threads are all here if you haven’t explored down that far

Either that or as a curse/bad luck.

The Great Mystery of the Self-Lubricating Anus. Does often appear in stories in when Men are Impregnated and Ass Babies are delivered with all due ceremony. Like that one I never got around to writing where Gabriel was distracted by a demon on his way to give his message, got extremely drunk talking about old pre-fall times, and ended up giving his message to Joseph instead. I mean, definite proof of a miracle there.

I’m assuming its part wish fulfillment cause lube needs to enter the equation at some point.

Never mind the equation, it needs to enter the asshole!

Sorry to hear about that, friend. You have my sympathies.

Just here to say what everyone else is.  I’m sorry for your loss, and if talking will help, I can always listen.

Thanks all, I really do appreciate it. Sorry I’ve not managed read/review catch up yet.

One thing there is, is time!

I second Thundercloud’s suggestion of writing the middle of the story. That’s usually my process: I write the scene that I have best figured out first, regardless of where in the story it happens. The other stuff comes eventually.

It sounds like an option! If I can get the motor ticking over again I’ll maybe give it a try. Thanks guys!

that was you?

Oh shit that is you. Just checked the reviews.

That was one of my first stories.

I still am glad you enjoyed it.

Got rid of those strange ??

Seems to have! Still one showing on the apostrophe on the summary I think. That might be my browser settings tho’ And I see you’ve changed the central alignment which I think might have been what I was referring to with formatting in the original review. Maybe.

I’d forgotten I’d reviewed it too, so I don’t blame you for forgetting as well

To be fair, The sooner AI is introduced to smut. The far likelier said AI goes from kill all organics to. Too hopelessly addicted to smut to be a serious threat.

So in a roundabout way you are saving the world from a Terminator future. To a future where robots just want to bang everyone in sight forever.

Robots can bang each other and save time!

Of course, robots could probably also actually finish my current bloody re-write. And make a start on that demon-lust infused Call the Midwife story I keep having ideas for (working title ‘Ball the Midwife). blargle. Turg.

I’ll take gushing on the forum as sufficient permission.

Yay!
