when the fic is so good, so very good, and suddenly julian looks up into garak’s eyes

up

because garak is taller

/sigh

I have this problem where I would much rather read the story I’m trying to write than actually write it.

[downloading-new-emotion]

i’ve been looking for this post my entire life

[dramasbomin]

you put it in words

[professorspork]

#lol yes and no #i want it to spring into existence already written for me#but i don’t want someone else to write it because they’ll do it wrong (via oodlyenough)

aaaargh can i just

write happy bedroom scenes forever???

The hardest part of writing witty dialogue is that I’m not as witty as the characters

[raemanzu]

I have this problem every time I start writing a chapter, I swear. Garak and Julian start talking and THEY NEVER WANT TO STOP. So then I have to make things get to a point where they both drop it or else cut off the scene suddenly lawl.

Seriously you guys like talking too much. But that’s why I love you….

okay but

_cardassian public bathrooms tho_

designed for a rather different anatomy!

julian bashir, you poor bastard

“oh the places you’ll go” indeed!

I wish I had a waterproof word-processor to take into the shower, because God damn, I do my best writing in there.

Hour 34

[antidiogenes]

This morning, my beloved is out at church while I brew my personal narrative concoction of Sherlock, porn and insanity. Partners are useful to writers: they can be supportive, some of them are qualified to answer socially tricky questions about the male anatomy, and the very best of them even go away at the right time too. <3

So true. :) Especially as regards the anatomy questions. As that old ad campaign used to say, “Ask the man who owns one.”

• Husband: What're you doing?
• Me: Writing fanfic.
• Husband: Garak/Bashir?
• Me: Who else?
• Husband: /begins to loudly and obstreperously sing "it's the gaaaaay space lizaaaaard, get on board"

oh frick you guys

post-canon Cardassia fluffy romance? sort of? playing with the caste system, a bit? and status issues between low-status Julian and high-status Garak, and how does this even work, and the answer is: it doesn’t, not traditionally, and now here is Garak being rather non-traditional, and it is weirding people out, and I am having tremendous fun~~~

making shit uuuuup~~~
