The 5 Things Meme.

You know the drill.

Do me a favor and ask for five things. My fandoms are: Star Wars, Hornblower, RPF for Paul McGann and/or other Hornblower actors, Supernatural, West Wing, Venture Brothers, Boondock Saints and really, anything that you might desire to see done in a halfassed way. If anybody wants it, I'll even write Battlestar Galactica, Nip/Tuck, and Harry Potter.

Be greedy and ask for lots. I'm in a rut these days, and writing these short little things will help me pare down my blather tendencies. :D

The lesson that Archie took, instead, was that perversions of the proper, righteous order of things led to horrifying results.

Horatio flinched from heavy floggings and hangings from the yardarm. Archie did not.

5. Horatio's damned luck. His damned, damned luck.


It is a perversion of the proper, righteous order of things that you haven't written more Kennedy up until now. I love all the stuff you've written for him in this whole meme. Love it like fuck. Best stuff I've seen. His sisters! Chimneysweep apprentice!

Also, you are going to be writing these 5 things FOREVER if these prompts keep coming. O.o

Ahah. It looks like they've slowed down, but even at the previous rate it wasn't too bad. It's not like I have actual work or classes, pfft.

Considering that your Kennedy is my personal gold OMG standard, I'm really, really, really glad you like the Kennedy in this. [livejournal.com profile] commodorified has been talking to me about some of the finer points of Kennedy and trying to get me to unpack the intuitions that I've got about him -- hence these questions, but really, in the end, I think it all comes from that first song on the Archie CD that I mailed to you. XD He can't leave! He has sisters!

Thanks again, oh lovely R.

I think that your Kennedy feels a lot more natural than anything I've written, and I like him better for it. I think I tend to get certain ideas about a character and try to show those rather than just showing the person, you know? Whereas I feel like you are showing us the person here. *sends fruit baskets to commodorified*

Now I will shut up, promise. :>
