What you learn on LJ...

[out_there]

As a child, I had arachibutyrophobia*. I never knew there was a word for it. Now, I'm just wondering how you say it. oxoniensis could probably help with that one.

*points at isagel's Not Less Than Everything* Poetic smut. I love the way that writers can have fun with language, twisting and stetching it into their meaning. Go, read, enjoy.

I'm going to follow oxoniensis's example regarding offering fic for friends. Since I've been too lazy to write anything for ages (not even W100 drabbles), and I have a couple of ideas that I'm just not enthused enough to actually start, we'll try something new. If you want me to write a fic to your specifications, leave a comment and I'll do my best. It'll probably be a short fic, but go ahead and challenge me. If I know the fandom, I'll give it a shot (BtVS, AtS, WW, SV, FY, a little HP, etc) or if I don't know it, I'll let you know. Deal?

Hmm, I don't know for sure, but I'd guess at araky bewtire o phobia. At least I now know there's a reason for the word existing!

araky bewtire o phobia

*repeats to self* Hmmm... it's not something that rolls off the tongue, is it? I mean, it's less impressive, and harder to say, than antidisestablishmentarianism.

*bg* Who says that innane words learnt in highschool don't come in handy? From memory, it was introduced to me as the longest non-medical word in the English language. Mind you, I don't know if that's ture, I never checked, but it's still fun to say.

And, in my own defense, I was like... tiny when I had that fear. I think 6, but it could have been younger. I'm surprised that enough people have it to have our own word, though.

Can you write one where Lex and Lucas genuanely get along as brothers, non of that incest stuff? And maybe entertain themselves by screwing over Lionel? Or fix each other's love lives?

[out-there.livejournal.com]

I would, except for... I haven't seen Lucas. I'm in Australia, and they stopped screening S2 before adult Lucas was introduced. I'm waiting on a friend to send me the rest of S2, but I really don't feel comfortable writing a character I don't know.

*hangs head in shame*

Any other suggestions?

Well, there is always literary. The other two bunnies that have been asking for placement are:

1. House Luthor of Jason's Whole from Lois McMaster Bujold universe.

2. Lex in pretenatural politics from Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Universe.

Which, with my luck, you are probably not familiar either. :P

[out-there.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry, Thorn, I'm really not familiar with either of them.

Anita Blake's ringing a bell, but I don't think I've read the books, or if I have, I've forgotten them completely.

Hmmmm... *has a quick search* Nah, I would have remembered reading a Vampire book (ie. the only ones I've read are Angel and Anne Rice - back when she was good).

Any other thoughts?

Well, if you don't have anything, consider this a "one fic free" card. If you have any other hankerings for a fic, I'll write it for you, whenever the idea hits you.

*ponders*

you could write me wee!fic. *hopeful look* Chloe or Lex?

[out-there.livejournal.com]

Ooh, interesting idea. I'll work on it. *g*

[thornsilver]

A came up with another one:

A would be Mrs. Lex Luthor sees his best friend lounging near the pool in red speedos and decides to cut her losses. Clark has finished college.

Okay, we have a plot bunny! *g*

Can't promise how speedy I'll be in delivery, but it will be done. *g*
