Like there's any point in even pretending that this post is about anything but sex.

I managed to sneak another story into sga_flashfic's Amnesty: Playing Tag, McKay/Sheppard, dog tag porn for megolas. For the 38 Minutes Challenge, which, dude, was really HARD. When I'm not tearing my hair out or weeping into my hands, I sometimes get kind of cocky about writing--"I can do ANYTHING!"--and while I was nervous about this challenge, it shocked me by being even harder than I thought. The worst was not having enough time to tinker--I'm poor at actual revision, but I hadn't realized how important the ability to make little changes was to me. So that was interesting.

Also interesting: the results to the, erm, topping poll. Not so much the trend toward giving Rodney the honors--I had noticed that in my reading, and I am absolutely NOT complaining--but the fact that so many of you expressed a preference for physicist over flyboy. (No offense to John meant--you are my emergency backup boyfriend always, and I love you, but it's tough to beat out that mind and that mouth and those eyes and those arms and...I'm getting off-topic.) Um, not that the poll was in any way scientific, and I suspect that if I put up the exact same questions on a different day, the results would vary considerably. But, uh. I guess I just thought more of the fandom in general was Shep-inclined. Maybe that's it: in general. I've got mostly slashers on my flist; how do you think the results to the second question would differ if it was asked to het 'shippers? Or am I making lame-o assumptions here?

And now I'm going to do something I'll probably regret and talk about sga_rps. Now, I should probably start by saying that I have never read RPS. That never is just a little too broad, though: I've started reading RPS several times (it's not like I have a moral objection or anything; not even close) but it's always made me a bit too uncomfortable and I've had to stop. Mostly, I think it's because I'm confused in my own head about who I'm reading about: actors aren't characters; there's no canon! Nothing (concrete) to base it on! It...it flusters me, okay? It just makes me feel...weird.

That said, I have a feeling that if I could get past whatever weirdness I'm experiencing, I would really like it. Mostly because I like anything that seems taboo--hi! PRIESTSEX!--and there are all sorts of reasons why relationships between two actors--especially two male actors--on a show or movie could become complicated and angst-ridden--IOW, fun. And yet: I persist in feeling squicked.

The reason I bring this up is because today I realized what I think I really want: an original novel about two male actors on a popular TV show who fall in love and struggle with it and fame and a myriad of other complications, have lots of prettily-described sex, and eventually end up together, after possibly making out during a live taping or something. And then I want that original novel to be made into a movie starring David Hewlett and Joe Flanigan. *g*

Till that happens, I will be watching the behind-the-scenes TV Guide clip that slashygood posted over and over, and y'all can start a betting pool as to whether I cave and join sga_rps this week or next month or never. Or now.
