Vote your smutlet

[resonant]

I do this all the time and then I don't follow up, so there are no guarantees here. But I have the first drafts of five smutlets on my hard drive, and need some motivation to pick one and just finish it. So vote for your favorite.

[Poll #983806]

Comments

[exceptinsects.livejournal.com]

It was a REALLY HARD choice between #3 and #4, so feel free to, you know, do either. Or both.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Oh, I plan to do them all eventually. I just needed a push to pick one and get on with it.

[20thcenturyvole.livejournal.com]

*hesitates*

*hesitates*

*bites lip*

Uh, there should really be an 'all of the above' choice, there.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

The first time I reloaded the poll, it was, like, 2, 2, 2, 2, and 2. And I'm thinking, "No! People! This is the opposite of helpful!"

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

For me it was actually a tie between #1 and #2, because concerning the first; they can sue me too so to speak, and John observing Rodney is always a good thing. And concerning the second; that Rodney voice is just so spot on! Plus it has Rodney being insecure about something but doing it anyway, so sue me twice.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

You make me feel so much better about it!

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Clearly there is insufficient Hornblower slash.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Of course, what I have in progress is based on a short story no one has read, and entirely bereft of any Archie Kennedy whatsoever, so I'm not sure I'd be adding much to the world ...

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'm a books fan. Well, the movies are also awesome but that's mostly down to Ioan "How do you spell that again?" Gruffyd. The Bush character is also done quite well, but Archie is all... cute, and tragic and stuff, and that's really all there is to him.

I'm still very much looking forward to any movie Ioan may or may not be planning to make (le sigh...) though.

What short story? Is it the one with the dude in the rain that says he's Napoleon?

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

"Hornblower's Temptation," the one where they take an Irish deserter prisoner and Hornblower has to make sure he doesn't make any speeches before he's hanged.

Ioan is a thing of beauty and very well chosen to play Hornblower as a young man, I must admit. And there *is* a Kennedy in the books, and he and Hornblower have a very cute dynamic, but he appears so briefly that I don't think he ever even gets a first name.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, read that once.

And yeah, Kennedy is never heard from again after that book he's in. I haven't read anything but Hotspur for ages because I own that one in hard copy but the others are on disk. My library, you see, is le suck.

[maryavatar.livejournal.com]

I've come to the conclusion that I have a clumsy inexperienced sex kink.

To with the 500 other kinks O.o

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Hee! How many can you have before they cease to be kinks?

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

I could've gone for #4 also, but... Rodney-dialogue is irresistible, so. Still, I kind of want to see all of the SGA ones, duh. *is easy, obvious, and also easy*

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Oh, you will, eventually. I just needed some help with the order.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I was all set to click the mistakes one when I read the cock one and then that was just too deliciously intriguing to pass over.

Yes! Cock! Big! (There is not enough [any?] big!cock fic because we girlies seem happily indifferent to size but the mens do so obsess about girth and length so I would love and love to read a good big!cock fic.)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

P.S. *bursts out laughing at suggestibility*

I suddenly realised that this is not a big!cock fic at all. The word 'big' is in there, and the word 'cock' is in there, but they are not in juxtaposition.

But yes, hah, big or no: bring on the cock!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Now, see, you and i have had this conversation before; I do not like size smut.

Though I'm quite sure Rodney has never had any complaints.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

We have had this conversation? I thought we had a conversation about the words penis and so forth. I also do not like size smut but then I've never read any sizesmut (except in the 'real' world of gay pornography -- the nice thing about slash is that it cares not a fig about size), and I thought oh, if anyone could write anything about size and make it sizzle, it would have to be you.

:-)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

How odd; I could have sworn it was you. Who knows who I have you confused with?

It is possible that John has seen enough dicks in their full upright and locked position that he can actually make a meaningful judgment about size. Rodney, not so much.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Upright and locked: *bursts out laughing*

Rodney may not be able to make meaningful judgements but he can have meaningful fantasies and/or anxieties about own tackle...

[fullygoldy.livejournal.com]

I say, just do them in order!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Bwah! Your icon! I love it!

[crazywritinfool.livejournal.com]

I can't decide between #2 and #5... lol

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Now you see my problem.

[helenish.livejournal.com]

I went into this all "Oh, all those perverts are totally going to choose the bondage story," and then, after voting, realized that I was the exact opposite of special and unique, and just want an insecure-Rodney-reassured story just like everyone else. So - yay for unspecial, I guess!

[hth-the-first.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! I totally thought there were going to be more of us perverts, but apparently not so much. When did bondage go out of style, I ask you?

[neery.livejournal.com]

I love love love bondage as much as the next kinky fangirl, but insecurity seems to be a bulletproof kink for a lot of people; I certainly couldn't resist that one. I think I can speak for most people here when I say that we sure do want the bondage one, too. (And also #3, #4, and #5. But that's just greedy. *g*)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

See, the funniest thing? That's the oldest of all the smutlets, and it's been sitting on my hard drive since, um, July of 2005, because every time I look at it, I think, "This is such a blatant indulgence of my insecure-Rodney kink, and everybody's going to see right through it and mock me." Woe.

[wolfdancer.livejournal.com]

I would read Hornblower just for you. this looks so hot.
but in all I think that it is a toss up of .. well
going safe and going for the 4 one.

Re: arg

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Well, I'll write some Hornblower eventually and you can see if you like it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_swallow/]

-- I just really want more bad sex in fandom, characters dealing with bad sex, characters processing and working with in non-fucked-up ways.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I love writing bad sex, so bonus.

[eccentric-alex.livejournal.com]

Okay, I picked one, but really I'd like to see all of these. You're one of the small handful of authors that I will go and find the original material in order to understand the fanfiction that you write, so even though I'm mostly in SGA at this point, I'll go find the Hornblower thing if you decide to write that one.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Thanks! I do plan to write them all eventually; it's just a question of order.

I'm finding your icon quite disturbingly hot.

[meelie.livejournal.com]

#1! #1! I don't care that it is currently losing the poll at the moment by a huge majority - I love Sheppard POV kink! And, mmmm, Rodney not being able to move.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

It will get written eventually. Maybe the poll will encourage people to pester me; I tend to need a fair bit of outside motivation.

You know best

[eileenlufkin.livejournal.com]

As the writer you would know best, but are you sure 2 and 4 aren't different parts of the same story?

Re: You know best

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

[laughing] I hadn't even noticed there was pain in two of the five options. I don't have a pain kink, really I don't! Quite the contrary.

[neevebrody.livejournal.com]

Hi - new friend here -however I have been reading your fanfic for ages - through a referral from FabulaRasa. I'm glad to see most everyone voting for #2. While 3 and 4 also sound intriguing, I am a sucker for the humour - and for Rodney - and I agree with dutch_eowyn about the Rodney voice. This sounds like it's going to be good! Can't wait.

Oh, and glad to hear you are going to do them all eventually, also glad I friended and won't miss them!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Cool! Glad you've been enjoying the stories.

[sulien77.livejournal.com]

Blast, I'm too late to get in on the poll! I hope you do decide to finish and post that Hornblower story, it sounds...um....well, hot enough to cause spontaneous combustion, actually!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Oh, it will definitely get finished; it's just a question of buckling down to an hour's work to beat it into submission.

[morebliss.livejournal.com]

I just voted even though you've already posted the 'winning' fic. And have friended you so I can read the rest when they're ready. *waits impatiently* ;)

Actually, I will be quite patient, as I am now going through your site and am going to read the rest of your fics. Huzzah! You've written Breakfast Club slash fic? I think I'm in love.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I have! I'm a quarter of the fandom, I think!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I just read Thirst and couldn't find a feedback link so am OT'ishly feedbacking here: I loved the build-up, quiet but insistent. And this most beautiful of lines:

"Open, John," he said softly..

Meltworthy.

:-)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Thanks! (Actually after the story was posted I was re-re-re-re-re-reading some of paian's very excellent SG1 slash and encountered a very similar line, so I may have accidentally stolen it. Which shows that I have good taste, I suppose.)
