MtYG reveals were yesterday, which means I'm finally free to shake my fist at the heavens and howl the anguished howl of the sorry son of a bitch whose recipient is her beta. And not just my beta - she's also my major idea bouncer off-er and all-around headcanon twin. BLERG. (I know I'm not the only one who's been through this. Show yourselves, my brethren-in-pain! COME, COMMISERATE WITH ME.)

So...yeah. I drew the name of the graceful, swan-like [livejournal.com profile] zebraljb and for her I produced this fine example of overwrought Bassez melodramaz, aka The Hippie and The Yuppie, aka Screw The Establishment: A Love Story. It's an idea fragment I've been kicking around forever, JC as one of those 'free hugs' guys you always see in Midtown, and one I'm sure I've blathered about many a time to many a person - but mostly to one person in particular. Ahem. And frankly, just the fact that the 20th came and went without any word from me should've been a dead giveaway that I was her author; but then, on Christmas Eve night, I received the most timidly-worded email of all time ("...um, pardon me, miss, I hate to be a bother but...did you perchance write this Bassez AU?", etc.) and I rolled my eyes so hard that one of them actually got stuck up there. I had to reach into the socket with a plastic coffee stirrer and spin it back around. It was terrible. :)

The writing process, shockingly, was not the worst. Or, at the very least, this wasn't one of those times where you click 'submit' and then wake up the next morning with twenty-five incredible new ideas you'll never get to incorporate. (I hate those times.) I feel like my sex scenes were kind of bland, and about three days before the deadline, when it was far too late to do anything about it, I realized that the whole thing really should've been written from JC's POV instead of Lance's (a realization that set off my intermittent eye twitch) - but, mostly, I'm cool with the way it all came together. (Today. I'm cool today. Ask me again in six months.)

As for me, I think I made out pretty darn well. Santa brought me some tooth-decayingly sweet domestic!TrickC (with dogs! Sad, orphaned CHRISTMAS DOGS! And JC as a deceptively hot accountant!) AND one of his drunker elves decided, bizarrely, that it'd be a good idea to name a fictional baby after me (immortality = ACHIEVED!) which, before now, isn't something I ever really thought I wanted, but...then JC changed my infant namesake's diaper and crooned to her in a gentle, soothing manner and it occurred to me that yes, I really, really did.

I need to find a way to get up to NYC and smack you. Repeatedly. And then tie you to a chair and force you to watch JC and Lance make out. Because

YOUR 2011 STORY ROCKED MY WORLD BECAUSE THERE WAS TIMID LANCE AND APRONS AND JUSTIN THE TOWN BICYCLE.

*ahem* Excuse me for yelling, but AWESOME!

I STAND BY MY OPINION.

But still, feel free to smack me around all you want. Lord knows I deserve it. :)

Also: last time I checked, you did NOT have the power to make boyband members grope one another with a wave of your hand, or whatever. But if you did? I can tell you right now you wouldn't have to FORCE me to watch. Nuh-uh. In fact, you could probably get away with charging me. (Because I'm a creep.)

I DO have that power. I just rarely use it.

And for the record, Lance and JC would be making out, and whenever JC came up for air, he would say, "I'm sorry, Chris, I'm just not that into you," and then he'd return to lance.

So ha.

Don't test me, woman. Remember, I know where you live.
