Visited the grandmother this weekend, managed to go the whole time without any major incidents with my mother. I finally read A Thousand Splendid fucking Suns to see what the hype was about and actually liked it more than I expected.

On a more frivolous note, I reread A Separate Peace on the drive back home and am jonesing for schoolboy slash. I should bug

nakeno, when she's free, about working on jailbait!Wilson stuff. Or maybe try my hand at another Dead Poets Society fic. Way more interesting than cleaning my room.

My GOD, your icon is porn! *faints*

I don't use it nearly enough. The source has some good caps in the same vein if you want to check it out. Look, here it is again!

Oh my! *fans self* Heavens!

...might be useful for pose studies...I mean, oh my! *swoons*

Mmm, schoolboy slash. It makes me feel like a lech sometimes (writing "Book Marking" was so easy it scared me), but I adore it. One of these days I'll get back to the "Freshman Year" five times fic. One of these days!

I'm squarely in the same boat. That and Wilsoncest are my guiltiest pleasures as far as writing in this fandom goes. Very much approving of Wilson's future freshman adventures, also.

I liked A Separate Peace enough that I bought a copy of my own. Given it was on my tenth-grade reading list, this is no mean feat.

Although maybe it just shows my tastes were firmly in place even back then.

Got mine at a used book store for a dollar, though it was never required reading. The first time I read it, I had only a minimal understanding of slash and still thought the subtext was insane. Rereading it the other day, I had a lot of profound scholarly thoughts like "Holy crap, why do I not remember the paragraph dedicated to Gene's opinion of Brinker's ass?"

That icon could not be more appropriate.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I don't remember that paragraph. Maybe I should go reread it myself.

Thank you! There's a fair amount of personal subtext to the icon, which I could explain if you're willing to hear it.

I'm actually puttering around with DPS fic at this very moment. Go right ahead. =)

About two years ago I had a dream that involved, among other things, twin boys "played" by Neil and Todd that were my sons, and I called them "my gosling children." It stuck with me in a way that most dreams don't, and I kept thinking about the boys and the plot of the dream, which had to do with flight and finding them after a long separation. Later I asked someone to make an icon of the two of them with 'goslings' on it.

Much later, I used the dream as the base of the end product of my creative writing class.

Ohh, the geese.

That's really neat--I love it when dreams linger long enough to actually make sense once you wake up. I've had so many that I've thought, while dreaming them, would make excellent stories, but it's almost never quite as interesting once I'm awake and trying to piece everything back together. I've also never taken a creative writing class, though it's crossed my mind. I think at this point I'm not quite brave enough to go there.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Yes, the geese. They make for good metaphors.

What helped me the most about my writing classes were having set deadlines and talking to people face-to-face about what I'd written. I'll probably join a writer's group and get the exact same benefits without worrying about my GPA.

I was in a bookstore in the Castro the other day, and A Separate Peace was shelved on the Gay Literary Fiction shelf. I died.

[link] [reply]

Well, if the shoe fits... Now I want to rent the movie and see how it compares.

I read Splendid Suns in two days last summer. Then Mum read it. And for days after we would just look st each other and start crying. We couldn't get over it.
