Pandemic Head remains the last thing I finished. Considering one of my earliest stories after I changed my penname to JD was Getting Head… it might almost end up as bookend. Almost. I mean, not really but close enough.
First off, thanks for the review! You really didn’t have to – at this stage you’ve pretty much read and reviewed everything that isn’t horrific garbage, and at least some of the stuff that is. Was nice to see you’d had the time to look over InBrightestDay’s story tho!
Mike’s a lawyer! He specialised in criminal law although once he had his own firm he’s got attorneys in several fields working for him so probably some could be in the biochemical patent side for the scientists! Thanks tho’ fitting is fine by me.
Thanks! Funny and disturbing is what I sometimes go for. Then people say “You thinking that is funny is really disturbing.”
The only thing I’d disagree with is the niche fetish crowd wouldn’t give a shit about characters or past stories and still enjoy the fucked head. There’s some folks out there with a big thing for still-living-but-unattached-heads getting fucked – I blame stupid sexy dullahans – and it would probably shoot up their quality table for them. Like the dragon-snuff-rape fans who think the Spyro request story I did was great while I can’t remotely see the erotic appeal. But thanks again!
So. Up until about 2006 or 2007 I was happy to write real person stories. Amongst other things I realised how fucking easy it was for sickos (I mean, more so) to link the real people or their friends/family to them with social media starting to take off more than forums and the rest and took all mine offline. Plus there were some court cases. I’ve since re-written most of my RPFs to be about OCs or fandoms, and one such story was re-written to be about OCs, and I decided to rename the fictional psychotic girl character as Mike’s cousin, Cadence Van Dijk and her father as his uncle. Much richer branch of the family. There’s none of the fantasy elements in it, it’s just a nasty piece of work with maybe one funny line. Anyway, I’ve got another real person story I still need to re-write and it featured a lawyer character I realised I could turn into Mike and the lawyer’s boss I could turn into Cadence, and have the theme changed from the original idea to be about a mass sacrifice to Eparlegna by Cadence seeking power, and end up as Cadence as an animated angry head who may possibly end up in the possession of one of InBrightestDay’s characters. There may even be a happy ending at some point. Who knows?
Anyway, thank you again for the review! At least the story was short so there wasn’t too much cack to wade through for ya. In fact this reply may be longer than the flashfic! heh.
