out_thereI'm out_there on Dreamwidth now.
If I post, I'll probably crosspost to LJ so no panic.
On the one hand, I adore being able to split the reading/who can read my locked posts. (At the moment, I read a severely filtered version of my FList just because I don't have time to keep up with everyone. I'd rather avoid the filters altogether and just know who I read and who I'd love to read -- since they look awesome and all -- but I never get round to it.)
On the other, the actual layout of the reading page is a choice between monochrome-ugly, complex-layout-horrible-colours, and simple-layout-horrible-text-sizing. When it comes to sneakily reading at work, I feel more comfortable reading black-Arial text on a mainly-white background than a page with lime-green, size 16 subject headers, so I think I'll still be spending most of my time on LJ.

Although honestly, the only thing I'm doing right now is thinking about background for PB. Well, thinking about kinks and personal sharing levels between Alex and Sara. Thinking about how Alex, who seems very focused on self-control, probably has a pair of handcuffs that sit in the back of his bedside drawers, and how much he likes the feeling of them cold on his wrists as Michael takes his slow, torturous time.
Sara's seen the occasional red line across Alex's wrist and she's worked in a prison long enough -- seen enough of that particular mark -- to recognise it.
I'm thinking of a light reference, a gentle little teasing comment, but would it work in character?

It actually took me about ten minutes to set up my DW layout, but yeah, do not attempt when you're just awake, sleepy, distracted or tired.

GREAT AND NOW MY BRAIN HAS BECOME USELESS.

I think it would, yeah. Sara can totally play it sly and teasing. :D

Alex lying there, hands cuffed above him, Michael slowly kissing him, exploring Alex's body with slow, careful fingers. And as frustrating as it is, Alex would love the attention, would love being the Michael's sole focus. And he'd even love the way that Michael would take charge so easily, the way that Alex can curse or beg for more, and all Michael will do is kiss him and do exactly what Michael wants to do.
