You know...

[beanside]

That this fandom has taken its toll on your brain when you think it's perfectly normal to sit in Bertucci's, eating lobster ravioli and chatting about RPS Post Apocalyptic fic plotlines.

Go team us.

Can I just say that we got some really "special" looks from people? Yeah. Somehow, "so it has a three day incubation and kills in 8 hours?" and "Yeah, Japan is totally fucked. All those people, so close together? They'll be picking up bloated bodies out of the streets for years" seems to make people look at you oddly.

Ah, well, too bad, so sad for them. *grin*

txtequilanights and I discussed wee!cest in an Olive Garden one night and really we were getting enough looks that I was worried about getting kicked out. So then, we were trying to describe it without being EXPLICIT and like, talking around it and using hand signals and...I laughed until I cried.

It was awesome. :)

I can imagine that post-apocalypse discussion would be rather startling to overhear!

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*snerk* Sadly, I can imagine it. Done that a few times. My personal favorite for that was Daddycest. "and Sam calls him John, not Dad when they're having sex..."

[wendy.livejournal.com]

Oh LORD. I think I just embarrassed MYSELF with that one. *turns red*

[poisontaster]

Okay a) I love you guys so much I can barely stand it right now and b) does this mean I DARE to hope that you guys might write in sundown once it's opened to the public?? *bounces*

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*grin* Anything is possible. And did I mention that this is a threesome, too? Cause, um, yeah. *snuggle*

Also, Slave!Jensen.

[poisontaster]

You're supposed to be helping me get BETTER, not killing me yourselves!

kill me a little more, c'mon...please?

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*snerk* Weeeelll.... It might have intrigue, and former slave!Jared, who now is secret-agent!Jared. And Jeff, who has Deep Dark Secrets. And Slave!Jensen has his own Dark Secrets.

And there's sex.

Those are the most fun kind of conversations, especially when you laugh really loud and almost fall off the seats with merriment. And if you can work in conversations about cocks and blowjobs, then it just makes it that much better. :D

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*snort* Oh yeah. Most definitely.

[embroiderama]

Oh, man, I want to go to lunch with you guys so much! LOL

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*grin* Well, y'know, you're not all that far away, sweetie. It could totally happen! We're right up here in Baltimore.

[embroiderama]

Eeee, that would be so awesome! If I weren't such a weenie about the highways I would drive right up and annoy you. *g*

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*grin* We'll figure it out! Not like we don't bop all over creation all the time!

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

There's a restaurant here that's been deemed the Official Fandom Gathering Place. It's very trendy and hip (I can fake the hipness for about an hour, before I revert to soccer mom mode) and we have scared several tables to death with the fannish discussions. There's a long and infamously convoluted story in popslash that got discussed in excrutiating detail one night and I swear the table of painfully self-conscious women next to us skipped out on dessert because they overheard a little too much. =)

[beanside.livejournal.com]

That's just when you know you've done your job as fen. *laugh* I'm pretty sure we've driven a couple people out in the past. Probably with the Daddycest, though. *grin*

[faithette.livejournal.com]

Would that be ::coughcoughLivingcoughcough:: by any chance? If so, I've had conversations like that...

It's so much fun to scare the "normal" people.

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

Hee. But of course. We weren't trying to scared them--2 of us were trying to summarize the *cough*plot*cough* for the third fan at the table, and it sounds even *more* cracked out when you're just hitting the high points.

[coiledsoul.livejournal.com]

onelittlesleep and i were trying to have a conversation about "The Jared Padelecki Untitled Project" in a cold stone creamery ice cream shop on saturday afternoon surrounded by her three-year-old and a bunch of teenagers. nothing explicit, but everytime one of their names came up, we'd sound like "SO ANYWAY IN THAT STORY, THIS HAPPENS AND jensen WOULD DO THIS AND jared WOULD DO THAT AND IT WAS JUST WONDERFUL..."

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*giggle* We've so done that!

Did I mention that the post apoc has a bartender in it? *grin*

[coiledsoul.livejournal.com]

*claps* YAY!

[faithette.livejournal.com]

OH thank god I'm not the only person who has public discussions like that lol...

hey, it's one of the things that makes fandoms so much fun!

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Oh no. We do it all the time!

It does!

[kueble.livejournal.com]

*snorts*

So fantastic!

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*grin* We try! Also, I do believe that I suck and missed your b-day! Can I make it up to you with a ficlet or drabble?

[kueble.livejournal.com]

aww, thanks! That's sweet of you. You could make it up by writing more CMM/JDM :D

If you ever wanted to. heh.

[eponin10.livejournal.com]

You know it was the talking about bloated bodies while eating that got the extra special looks, right? *grin*

[beanside.livejournal.com]

But that's what makes it fun!

[shotofjack.livejournal.com]

What's worse I ask - that you sat and in a restaurant and discussed this:
Yeah, Japan is totally fucked. All those people, so close together? They'll be picking up bloated bodies out of the streets for years
OR
I sat here laughing out loud until I cried when I read it?

Love ya!

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Well, maybe we're both a little weird. But that's okay! Love ya, too!

[parchmentheart.livejournal.com]

oh, you were talking about fiction heh. Sorry, all the disaster recovery/planning stuff I do at work gives those snippets a creepy realism.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*grin* Yeah. I guess being in healthcare, I either fictionalize it or I lose my mind about it. I kinda like what mind I have left, so...

I like Monk for a reason

[parchmentheart.livejournal.com]

It's not crazy to have a stockpile of canned meat and vegetables and two manual can-openers? is it?
How about 3-6 months of medicine?
Buying first aid supplies like other people by candy bars at the grocery store?
Always carrying around emergency first aid books in their purse?

*maybe I've chosen the other way to deal*

[bluesister.livejournal.com]

Poor bastards. Whatever the rest of them were talking about, it couldn't have been as much fun.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Of course not! They were talking about things like family and finances and maybe what Angelina Jolie is doing. *nod*

[realpestilence.livejournal.com]

If you want fuel for nightmares, read "The Great Influenza" by John M. Barry. It's about the worldwide flu pandemic of 1918 and it's scary as hell; the descriptions of how the victims died will chill you.

Your comment about Japan picking up bloated bodies for years is entirely possible. *shivers*



I just recently started reading your work and am extremely admiring. I'll be commenting more on specific fics later as I absorb the impact. Right now, I'm pretty speechless but for the occasional "gah!".
