Multi-fandom burbling

[hackthis_archive]

a) O.C. fans, everybody thinks our show is really gay. Even the actors! Excuse me, especially the actors. Yeah, try and tell me the one about 'the women' again! I had some inner-Seth thoughts last night, but I'm still bitter at him and told him to piss off.

2) I wrote more Nott-verse. Sorry, Thousandth Man-verse: You and Me See How We Are

c)

* Jack/Boone. Wow. A little hurt-comfort goes a long way. D'you think Jack got a stiffie off fixing Boone up? I think so! Also, um, how upset was Boone that Jack and Sayid were punishing Sawyer without him? Soooo upset.

* Um, Shannon/Sun all the way, people! Or barring that -- Sun/Michael.

* Oh, Sawyer, not only are you an asshole, but you're a fucked up asshole. Who can kiss! Wow, I think it might be serious lust between you and I, now.

*circe_tigana was right, Hurley's got a biiiig Jack-crush. A big Jedi-shaped crush.

* I need an Ocean's 11/Sawyer Nameless-Hottie-with-the-dimples-of-doom X-over. Dude, Rusty and Dimples! AHHHHHHH!! Shit, I may have to write that myself the need is so great. Danny would hate him and Rusty would find him so amusing and Danny would be jellus! (yes, deliberate spelling, relax) And then they would scam together when Danny was in jail, and Rusty would call from the road, and Danny would be all 'you better not be with that two-bit con', and Rusty would say, 'so what does that make you?'

FYI: a con man is short for a 'confidence man', and a confidence man has a two-fold job when attempting a con a) inspire enough confidence in his mark to sucessfully complete his scam and b) be confident in himself enough to sell his scam. Without A and B a scam won't work. It just won't.

A tell is something a con man reads off of his mark, but it also refers to signals you read when you're working with your shill.

A shill is the second person, or multiple people, involved in a scam to make it successful. For example: in one of those card-games on the street or the thing with the pea, you generally have the con, the shill pretends who wins the con to inspire confidence, and then you have the mark.

Now, everyone go forth and write con-man stories!

Who else is really excited that it's Thursday? I am! I may have to go write some porn or something.

Did I mention I re-watched The Sting this weekend? And I kept thinking "if they ever do a remake of this movie, George Clooney and Brad Pitt should totally star in it."

And then I remembered they already did Ocean's 11/12 and that might be too much scamming.

and then I told myself to shut up.

Damn, I'm going to make this confidence man thing next week's lost100 challenge.

Jack/Boone. Wow. A little hurt-comfort goes a long way.

I totally thought the same thing!

That is a brilliant cross-over and you should write it now. *taps foot*

did you read Making Do (http://www.livejournal.com/users/yahtzee63/129500.html) by yahtzee63 totally amazing Jack/Boone slash.

Yes, please to the Ocean's 11 crossover. Though can Linus play, cause I love him in all his geeked out fabulousness. I bet he's try to be all tough with Sawyer, but would be kind of scared him too and would at some point hide behind Rusty and it would be kind of adorable.

I need to start watching Conan again. Eee!

I think it would have been much more interesting though to have it be Kate and Sayed doing it, with Jack being the one who can't stomach it. That would have given a weakness to Jack, who's becoming far to perfect for my taste, and made Kate's possible criminal past grittier. It would have also added more impact to the final scene IMO.

I was so disappointed Boone couldn't join in. I think my hand went to slap Shannon, but it hit the TV instead. :\

You know, the first I ever heard from the OC was when I was reading some of your lotrips fics for the first time and saw you'd written a lot of things for a lot of fandoms. I was all "What is this OC?" and googled it, learning that it's a tv-show that hasn't been shown here in Finland.
Well, recently there have been commercials on TV advertising it and looks like they're going to start airing it soon. And since I'd seen so much OC fic on your LJ and a bunch of others, I've just been all hyped over it, wanting to see if it's truly as slashy as people have been saying.

And from the promos it looks like an awesome show overall, so looking forward to it. Part of the excitement naturally comes from finally getting to read your (and some other great authors') OC fic.

Just thought I'd mention. :D
