MTYG REVEAL

[solafiamma]

So, yay with the MTYG reveal! And a great big SMOOCH for nopseud for the fabulous And You'll Notice My Smile (Is Like Kool Aid), which was the PERFECT SeSa giftie for me, with Lance and his KILLER SMILE and CHRISSSSS!!! and miscommunication and cluelessness and snark layers and all manner of AWESOMENESS and, oh, yes, did I mention? CHRISSSS!!! And written by nopseud, so if you haven't read it yet, jump on it NOW before it, I don't know, it BLOWS UP from sheer FABULOSITY.

I've managed to read most of the Trickyfish, TrickC and Lambs, but that's about it. I've been horribly caught up with not murdering my aunt lately (quite successfully, so far, knock on wood), but she's finally buggered off to visit a friend for a week and then she'll be moving in to her independent living place, which is too far away too visit on any kind of a daily basis, so FREAKING YAY on that score. Phew. Maybe I'll be able to read some of the other pairings now.

I wrote Midas Touch for silveryscrape. When I recieved my assignment, I was all OMG YAY! TrickC! For Mary!! Because, dude, TrickC! My second favourite pairing! And then I paused as sanity took hold and realized, OMG, for Mary! Because I'm, like, kind of in blistering awe of Mary's ability to pack a bazillion layers of meaning into THREE WORDS, which is a skill I clearly lack. *glances upward. um. yes. clearly* PLUS, Mary mentioned in her lj that she had a special fondness for now!fic or future!fic, and I'm so woefully out of the loop these days in terms of canon that I thought I'd have to move into someone else's HEAD (I'm looking at you, withdiamonds, because, dude, your encyclopedic grasp of canon is MIND BOGGLING) forthe duration of the writing, which somehow didn't seem feasible, what with the aunt-ing and whatsmasing and all that good stuff. BUT. Then I read more closely, and Mary ALSO said she liked fantastical elements, so yeah. Ugly magic shoes. Of COURSE. What ELSE? The thing almost wrote itself. AHAHAHA.

Big squish to Budge for the beta, but please don't blame her for the typos I noticed just now when I went to the MTYG site to grab the link, because those happened AFTER she gave it back to me. Gah, the humiliation.

Huge thanks also to ephemera_pop, nopseud, phaballa and vaudevilles for keeping the popslash SeSa alive and kicking for another year!

I thought you'd guess! Was it the "fuckier fuckhead" that gave me away? (If it had been Pen, those typos wouldn't have been there. Sigh. If I'd finished it in time, as in not several hours after it was due, I would have had time to ask for more beta help, too, but that's another story.)

I am so noble in the non-aunt-squishing, I can't tell you how proud I am of myself. Or, well, obviously I CAN, because I just DID, but you get my drift. I am awe-inspiring in my restraint.

*squishes you back*

My suspicions were raised initially by

Joey nods blearily. "S'right, you know, C. People do. They--. What're we talking about?"

And the rest of the beautifully drunken Joey, which had to be either you or no_pseud and I KNEW she'd written yours so...

And then it was confirmed by the Chris dialogue and the way he was pining. Plus, you know, it felt like it'd been written for me, which is always a dead giveaway that it's yours!
