If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to (Kirk/McCoy)
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you (Uhura/Gaila)
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man

-Leonard Cohen

Grr. Left laptop charger at my parents' 6 hours away at the same time I'm really feeling inspired about writing. I started something for the Sherlock Holmes kink meme on Saturday -- actually had been reading the stories for a couple of months in preparation for the slash explosion I knew would be touched off by the movie. And also entirely re-wrote the Kirk/Uhura smut I tried to do in the summer. Wrote on actual paper in fact! And I think with some editing I'll post it. But right now the iPhone is acting as computer and I can only charge it off my work computer. *sigh*

My username is: krytella, from a character in a book I had just read when I was creating my account (the book is The Order War by L.E. Modesitt. Decent but his books really get same-same after a while). My real name is unusual and slightly fannish, but I was feeling paranoid about keeping my "normal" online presence separate from commenting on porn.

My journal name is: Krytella, because I am uncreative.

My title is: Living in sin with a mad librarian. Quote from a favorite HP fic, Shifts by fernwithy. One of the few writers with the privilege of having written an epic story with an off-the-radar ship, then having it become canon, Jossing the fic completely in the process. But that's what happens in a moving canon like Harry Potter, I suppose. While the series was incomplete you couldn't write a meaningful non-prequel fic that wasn't going to conflict with something in the later books.

My subtitle is: (sometimes, in a fit of passion, he organizes the fridge). Continues the quote from the title.

My friends page is called: Friends. Again, have not come up with something appropriately witty and impressive.

My default userpic is:

Something I drew; possibly proof that I suck at abstract art.

I've always had a hard time with dialogue. Why am I trying to write in a fandom that is at least 43% held together by snappy, snarky conversation? It's also held together by being the origin of all cliches. And crazy space porn. And probably duct tape. If there's one technology that will still be around in the 23rd century, it's duct tape.

I'm a point of view Nazi. Use the right point of view for the story, and then stick to it -- none of that waffling around where the narrator can describe the expression on the POV character's face. I think narrators shouldn't be too omniscient in porn anyway. Keep it personal. Keep it tight. Keep the narrator's voice strong, and show what else you have to show about other characters through the narrator's senses.

I try to take my own advice.

I'm rather sleep deprived right now.

1151 words. Two sex scenes, although neither of them has an ending because I'm apparently reluctant to actually wrap anything up. One short ending paragraph. At least 1/3 done? The first two scenes are going to be short, because (a) blow jobs in the men's room are quick and dirty and (b) there's only so much you can write about when your viewpoint character is hiding under the bed and can't actually SEE the sex going on. I've only switched out and rearranged the scenes like 5 times. How did I fool myself at first into thinking that Our Heroes had a graduation ceremony before getting on the Enterprise the first time? Apparently, I have a huge capacity for wishful thinking in the plot convenience department.

It's been a long time. I stopped keeping up with the few journals I was watching, I have to say. Still love HP, but I'm dabbling in other fanfic communities. Since Star Trek XI came out I've read a brain melting amount of slash. And I was never a big TOS fan, but now I'm watching the good movies and thinking I might be old enough to dig this now (William Shatner, especially getting-old!William Shatner, was a frightening and unattractive thing to my mind as a child). Anyway, there's just sooo much Kirk/McCoy smut that hits my kink buttons. It's dangerous. So dangerous, in fact, that I'm actually writing a dirty story. It started as a simple idea and then I somehow thought it should be a 5 things story, which means in this case writing SIX sex scenes. I've never written a sex scene. At least one of them is mostly done and the other five are planned out. It's fun trying to imagine how the same character would interact sexually with a bunch of different people. And at the heart, it's a story about voyeurism and happy sluthood, both of which are near and dear to my heart. We shall see if I ever finish, or just am kept up at night when I'm away from home writing scenes in my head that are no longer clear in the morning.

Steven Brust is a fantasy author who has had 22 novels published. He also just posted on his website an unauthorized Firefly novel that he describes as a fanfic. I haven't read it yet but I'm pretty excited, because I like his books. And having a pro author write fanfic == awesome!

On dojinshi as the savior of the manga industry.

"This odd situation exposes the conflict between what Stanford law professor (and Wired contributor) Lawrence Lessig calls the "read only" culture and the "read/write" culture. Intellectual property laws were crafted for a read-only culture. They prohibit me from running an issue of Captain America through a Xerox DocuColor machine and selling copies on the street. The moral and business logic of this sort of restriction is unassailable. By merely photocopying someone else's work, I'm not creating anything new. And my cheap reproductions would be unfairly harming the commercial interests of Marvel Comics.

But as Lessig and others have argued, and as the dojinshi markets amply confirm, that same copyright regime can be inadequate, and even detrimental, in a read/write culture. Amateur manga remixers aren't merely replicating someone else's work. They're creating something original. And in doing so, they may well be helping, not hindering, the commercial interests of the copyright holders. Yet they're treated no differently from me and my hypothetical Captain America photocopies. The result is a misalignment between the emerging imperatives of smart business and the lagging sensibilities of old laws."
