Finished Fics and Odd E-mails

misscamSpring! You're here! *hugs it* Do stay. Have some chocolate.
I have finished my Easter Egg fic. Kinda sad, really. (Yes, it is really titled Ten Lessons the Doctor Learned From Sex and One He Didn't.) Can't post it for weeks. Sniff. But I shall tease - and would anyone like to beta it? You'll have weeks to do it, obviously. Ten/Rose, adult.

Lesson Two: Foreplay
He's always known sex is more than the act itself. It's everything leading up to it, every awkward minute thinking about it, it's everything after, every awkward minute trying to pretend it never happened. Foreplay and afterplay. Sex can be a simple animal urge and a very, very complicated emotional mess and both at the same time and really, it's all very silly. Time Lords were always too busy screwing their own important selves to screw anyone else, but of course, he was always a rebel.
Oh yes, he knows sex is more than the slotting of tab A into tab B, and he knows it well. He's just not very good at considering that others might know it as well.
Rose keeps looking at him. Not just a friendly glance here and there, no. A gaze so possessive he might as well get 'Property of Rose' tattooed across his back, that's what she's giving him. She has for some time, he realises, and he's not confident he hasn't returned it.
It is very hard not to look at Rose like she's Rose, after all. Rose, who saved his life. Rose, who nearly died for him, and then he nearly died for her. Rose, who smiles like life and talks like innocence. Rose, who is smelling like skin and looking like a walking invitation to press her against the TARDIS console and be very unTime Lord-y.
He's not sure he's quite communicated that he is otherwise engaged. Because he is. Yep. Decidedly is. There's saving the Universe and rescuing silly humans and averting time implosions and avoiding paradoxes and repairing the TARDIS and repairing the tea pot and busy, busy, busy, that's him. Always moving on, never lingering.
The problem is that his gaze does linger and Rose is smiling at him and everything complicated feels so simple. It feels like sex, and Rose knows it.
It's possible to have foreplay without even touching each other, he learns.

So, got a rather amusing e-mail the other day - it was asking to adopt a mini-Balrog, which is normal enough, but then the guy goes on:
In the attachments is enclosed an extreme AU fic of mine – I’ve had to put a culture shock warning on it, as it involves violence, strong language and British Army squaddies. I thought, in case you wanted to see what sort of fanfic I’ll be working on over the next few years, I might as well send over a copy. Also enclosed is an artist’s rendition of me.
Because I really, really need to know? Not to mention the fic is a 90,000 word Stargate thing, and I don't even watch that show! (To be fair though, the writing seemed okay enough from what I skimmed.) And fanart of himself? Oooh-kay...
I get the oddest e-mails sometimes. Not the oddest I've had, mind you. Makes me wonder though - what's the oddest you lot have had?
In other news:
Google ordered to hand over some data
Spielberg movie sued for cutting Apache girl's hair
Rumsfeld warns early retreat from Iraq would be like handing post-war Germany to the Nazis
Asylum numbers falling

Date: 2006-03-19 03:36 pm (UTC)^-^ I'm almost regretting not signing up for your Easter challenge now, because I just know that anything I received from anyone involved would have been wonderful, and that little teaser above is no exception. The reason I didn't is because I still haven't finished my Secret Santa fic for poor
Are the fics going to be made public? (i.e. can I read the entirety of this when it's finished?? :P)

Date: 2006-03-19 05:57 pm (UTC)a lot ofissues.I hardly get any weird e-mails since I discount any spam e-mails.

Date: 2006-03-20 02:38 am (UTC)Actually, think the Stargate guy also might be a Whovian fanboy. I spotted Dalek references.

Date: 2006-03-19 06:26 pm (UTC)As for most unusual e-mail, it's either a short corrospondence in pink on black that started about lizards and ended when my response to ASL involved the number 31, or it's the Chinese somethingorother inviting me to a furniture convention...in China...in Chinese.

Date: 2006-03-20 02:40 am (UTC)Hee! I think the Chinese was obviously sent to the wrong e-mail, but the lizard thing sounds impressive. Pink on black? Ew.
