Haha it's a writing meme no one cares

Seriously, I've had a very long week. Yesterday I had 3 lectures. Which I gave. 2x2h + 1x3h and then I attended a fourth one. Now I need to clean and tomorrow I still need to do some lecture prep and clean more. I have many tabs open that I should comment on. I have laptop I should be buying. And... idek, other things that I've failed at. So hey, what's one more.

Grill the (Grumpy) Writer Meme

Ask a question about my writing and I'll try to answer it:

1) What I was thinking at the time I wrote a story/series or a question about my writing as a whole. It can be absolutely anything including about my WsIP. (I don't post WIPs, they're all on my hard-drive and I don't like to talk about them so there)

2) Pick a character/pairing I've written and I will explain the top five some ideas, concepts, etc. I try to keep in mind while writing that character/pairing.

3) Quote a few lines from something I've written and I'll comment on them.

4) At AO3 I have posted xx works. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to xx (the first story I posted there) and I'll tell you three things I currently like about the story. IDK why this is so complicated a question and also, as much as I love AO3, the casual assumption that everyone posts fics there is annoying. Well. I do post most of my fics there. But not all, e.g. none of the unmarked_place stuff is there because of reasons. Anyway, rather than play with numbers, why not just randomly select a story and then I can tell you some things about it. Probably not 3 and probably not why I like it. But things.

Oh yeah, you can find my fics via LJ Masterlist or via AO3.

You know I adore the way you write Pete/Patrick and reading this, it's easy to see why.

I agree with all of this; I've always seen Pete as a sub, even Arma era Pete is just...the subbiest sub to ever sub. And it's puzzled me beyond belief when people see their dynamic as switched; I like discussing it, the reasons why they think Patrick's obviously a sub, etc., because I like to discuss and debate those kinds of things (as long as no one starts throwing around the 'you're wrong because I said so and also, you're stupid' rocks, that is), I generally can't even read it. If a writer I really liked wrote it, I would probably at least give a look over, but otherwise, it completely throws me and confuses me, and I can't read it.

The BFF angle is a tried and true bulletproof kink of mine and these two are a perfect example of why; the love is so obviously there, you can see it in the way they talk to and about each other, onstage, in interviews. Whether or not they've ever actually had sex is open for debate, but the fact these two love each other isn't.

I loved your answer here, in case you couldn't tell, lol.

Agreed on all accounts :D I too have real problems reading P/P that goes against my preferred dynamic even though I can like appreciate author's skill in it... Damn, now I want to go like Barney and say 'CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!' Hmm... could maybe swing it if like Patrick wants Pete to understand what it is like to be in charge and they agree to switch for the weekend. And Patrick wouldn't even make him work for it, wouldn't challenge Pete's authority, would just sink to kind of semi-meditative state. Not really sub-space but kind of calm. If he'd had any even sort of formal training, he would've subbed/bottomed at some point to get some insight into that side of things. And... idk, Pete would probably enjoy some of it, getting Patrick to go down on him, but it would probably freak him the fuck out too.

I can honestly say that if you wrote that, I would read it -even if I had the vague sense the whole time that the world no longer made sense, lol.

I would say that even if Patrick didn't have formal training per se, he would have subbed at some point in time to try and get a feel for it, try to understand it; he's a thorough, methodical bastard in the studio and I can't see him being any different with this, especially with it concerning Pete like it does.
