[livejournal.com profile] pushkin666 and I are co-writing a werewolf Bruno/Craig fic on IM whilst I also struggle to write the sequel to sing no songs except of restless blood. The following exchange perfectly illustrates the process.

[livejournal.com profile] kat_lair: look i'm not in the frivolous pwp stage of new fandom/pairing love yet
[livejournal.com profile] pushkin666: okayyyyyyyyyyyy
[livejournal.com profile] kat_lair: this is the 'I HAVE INTENSE AND MEANINGFUL FEELINGS ABOUT THESE CHARACTERS AND THEREFORE THIS FIC IS INTENSE AND MEANINGFUL AND ABOUT FEELINGS'
[livejournal.com profile] pushkin666: yes dear.  pats your  non-12 year old fluffiness

Well, you both made me laugh - a lot. Almost but not quite as much as your students' essay quotations!

Hee :D That was slightly cleaned up as well. Glad it made you laugh. We do have surreal conversations at times on im.

We are funny. Sometimes even intentionally. Glad the students entertained too :D

This really is our authorial relationship. I'm the sappy romantic one definitely :D

You most definitely are the sappy romantic one, whereas I'm all 'let's do something dark' :D

Hah, awesome. Looks like there's more of us, who go into a fandom in stages!
I always start with gen in a fandom, completely sexless gen... and at one point there's a snap and after that moment I'll go, alright, give me pain and forced body modification, I don't care anymore. XP

I always have to start with canon fic, can't be dealing with complete AUs (canon divergence is ok) until well into it. I do tend to get into pairings very quickly and am a slasher at heart, although bffs-to-lovers option trumps all gender preferences.

But lol yeah, hard kink I have to leave until later too, it's not something I want to read straight away.
