Spies wot?!

[hackthis_archive]

I have not really written anything of length in a while and I'd been pondering some form of Merlin fic or Merlin porn, which I have apparently never written, which is a bit shocking. No gratuitous wet!Arthur porn at all? Huh. -- but I digress. I want Generation Kill fandom to have a Minor Characters Ficathon so I can write more Poke and Walt (who no one has ever written. Really, people? Scandal!) and while discussing Walt's Superior Recon Skills with sparky77 the following concept seemed to transpire which I then relayed to lazlet thusly:

Oh, and to keep you very much amused Sparky and I are trying very hard to promote this GK minor character ficathon just so we can actually get some Poke, Rudy and Walt fic in the world, and somehow conjecture about Walt fic has turned into Spy!Ray with Walt as his Q.

As Sparky pointed out, Ray would be the last person you'd think of as a spy, because I mean Ray? REALLY?

Sparky decided that Ray has a thing for hats. I said he likes to wear a fedora and tee shirt to the spy labs -- yes, I said spy labs, dammit -- so he can bother Walt and flirt with him. I reckon also that Ray wears long sleeve shirts a lot due to the proliferation of tats, so him in short sleeves is shocking to Walt's hormones.

In this instance Brad is 007 and Nate is M, uh, N, but since 007 is sleeping with N, Brad's now quasi-retired and is henceforth Moneypenny. (Yeah, I said it!)

But the fic is really about Ray wooing Walt. Shocking. Most of my ideas these days are about Ray's very unelegant wooing of Walt who is sort of terribly amused by Ray, as he tends to be. Sometimes Walt gets to do his own spy operations, but Ray always seems to show up and interrupt those, normally when N has sent Walt out to seduce someone.

Naturally Nate N and Brad Moneypenny think this is hysterical.


So. Spy!fic. You know, I thought after romanticalgirl's magnum epic opus type business I wasn't going to tackle the boys in the desert possibly ever, and clearly this is why spy!fic is the new black.

I would love to read this spy!fic of which you speak. It would be amazing.

[lazulus]

STILL LAUGHING.

I really, really want the GK minor chars fic-a-thon.

I am still without a GK icon! I really must sort that out.

[lazulus]

Also, I think Ray would make a splendid spy because who the fuck would ever believe him capable of it?!

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Yes! And he talks so much that people would want to share information with him just to get him to shut up.

Also Rudy! I am all about the Rudy fic.

[lazulus]

Ray would be the chinese water torture of spies.

Drip.Drip.Drip.Drip.Drip.

I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING AS LONG AS YOU SHUT UP.

Rudy is love. However, I think he would be really hard to write as he is so utterly bizarre. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't want everyone to try it!

That's what I said! Minus the bizaare part, I said he was a special snowflake. A special pimp queen J. Lo-esque snowflake. I thought for a second that people don't write the minor characters because they have such strong personalities, but it's not like Brad's a blank slate so fuck that. Yes, we need to show some serious minor character appreciate here, stat.

[lazulus]

Even the film makers say that they had Rudy play Rudy because they couldn't cast anyone who made sense in the part.

It's not the personality thing, it's just that in pretty much every fandom I have known the minor characters get little or no love at all. Mind you, that's usually because the minor characters suck, whereas in GK the minor characters rock like rocking things. Even the scary ones. Although that does not mean that I in any way condone anyone writing anything involving Trombley engaging in sexual acts of any kind. Except maybe with camels and even then I am joking. Really. Sorry. *passes the bleach*

Why did you go there? Have I not given you lovely beautiful shiny things. Haven't I gifted unto you untold awesome epics? And THIS is how you repay me? Oh, blergh. *stomps off*

[lazulus]

I AM SO SORRY.

I have no idea what came over me. Oh, hang on. I know exactly what came over me - I was obviously acting as a conduit for Ray.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I am totally psyching myself up for the Rudy challenge. I'm bizarre! He's bizarre! How hard could it be?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I'm bizarre! He's bizarre!

Now THAT is true. This could be the start of the best relationship ever.

[lazulus]

I have faith in your bizarreness.

Channelling Rudy. Coming to a LJ near you soon.

We can haz fic nao? Yes?

[oh-mcgee.livejournal.com]

Wooing of Walt! YES, THIS. My approval, let me show you it.

Thank goodness, too! I'm not going to lie, I was a teeny bit distraught when you were like "In the face of all that epic magnificence, I retire from GK-fandom-writing."

But the fic is really about Ray wooing Walt. Shocking. Most of my ideas these days are about Ray's very unelegant wooing of Walt who is sort of terribly amused by Ray, as he tends to be.

I don't even really ship them, but I find this idea to be made of incredible win.

Yay, spy!fic :)

[redheadaholic.livejournal.com]

I will read anything you write, anytime, anywhere, baby!

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also Brad would so fail at being semi-retired and Ray would mock him for being retired at all and buy him obnoxious golf shirts and silly hats.

[bunglegirl.livejournal.com]

I wholeheartedly support and encourage you writing Merlin!porn. Wet Arthur sounds great, but a modern times AU like Telegraph Avenue would make me very, very happy as well...

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

There should so much be a minor character ficathon. There should also be more fic by you about these boys. Yes. Mostly, this post is to say I agree, 100% absolutely and such. Yes.

Now I have to figure out which minor character I'd write. ::ponders::

[fabriano.livejournal.com]

you don't know me from boo, but seriously, a gk minor character fic-a-thon? I would hit, okfine, lurk that. :)

[soul_cake_duck]

I would just like to say that I support any and all ideas of Spy!fic :D

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

Most of my ideas these days are about Ray's very unelegant wooing of Walt who is sort of terribly amused by Ray, as he tends to be. Sometimes Walt gets to do his own spy operations, but Ray always seems to show up and interrupt those, normally when N has sent Walt out to seduce someone.

AHAHAHAHA!

I wasn't going to tackle the boys in the desert possibly ever, and clearly this is why spy!fic is the new black.

::is relieved:: Was a bit saddened by the idea you wouldn't write boys, not gonna lie. So yay for spy!fic!

[sousha.livejournal.com]

You should so write that. Really. The world needs more Ray/Walt fics and your AUs are the only one I read and enjoy. :)

*hides in her lurker hideout again*

[maurheti.livejournal.com]

Joining the delurking to add my voice to the oh-HELL-yes chorus. Ray/Walt! Rudy! Poke!! My excitement, it is colossal.

And also -- spy labs, hee...!
