Hear that, internets? That's the sound of hundreds of fangirls sighing wistfully as one. Oh well, at least we'll get a GK reunion out of it (and Huertas promised pictures).

Mazel tov, dahling.

(Side note: God, I miss Generation Kill *sigh* I wish it could have gone on forever somehow)

Anyway, here's the next installment of the thirty day writing meme:

Day Fourteen: How high are you comfortable with going? Have you ever written higher? If you're comfortable with NC-17, have you ever been shocked by finding that the story you're writing is G-rated instead?

Another multi-parter, I see.

1) I've written NC-17 enough times before that I suppose you could call me comfortable with it, provided my head's in the right place. I can't do it on command though, otherwise things that sound really hot in my head come out sounding really stupid in print.
2) I'm not entirely sure it's possible to top NC-17...
3) I wouldn't go so far as to say I've gone from NC-17 to G, but yeah, I've had stories start out raunchy in my head but wind up relatively tame (PG-13ish) in print, either because my porn muse crapped out on me or because the story was one of those flashes of inspiration that almost make your fingers move independently of your brain. Like, the story just flowed that way in an organic sense, I don't know how else to explain it.

Finally, appropo of nothing, I heard there's a fifth Final Destination movie coming out (or I was reminded, I may have seen posters of it before and just forgotten). Really? Really? Seriously, by this point it's time to either change the title or abandon all pretense and call the next one Final Destination 6: Trolololol.[/fascinating mini rant of the day]

Have a snippet from right after Grace throws down the gauntlet like I described in the email (the one that gets the "ARE YOU TRYING TO FUCKING KILL ME, WOMAN?" reaction out of Will):

"Okay, when Grace promised her dares wouldn't be humiliating, Will realizes in hindsight that he should've made her extend that to dares that could cause heart failure too. Hindsight's twenty-twenty, he thinks dazedly.

Tunny clears his throat and says hesitantly, "That's probably not a good idea." He steadfastly avoids looking at Will as he says it.

Ouch. Whoever said that thing about sticks and stones and how words can't ever hurt you was full of shit, judging from the sharp pang in Will's chest. He does his best to keep it from showing in his face though, just because now would probably be the worst possible time in the history of ever for Tunny to find out about Will's feelings."

I'm entirely too good at torturing him...

Well, even well-adjusted people can get rather insecure around those they have feelings for, and Will's not exactly coming from a great emotional place to begin with. It'll get better though!

And yes, go to sleep, I promise there will be plenty more fic where that came from tomorrow *g*

(Holy crap, I just checked the word count on this whole thing -- 10,308 words, and I'm only just getting warmed up O_o)
