Kenneth Lay?

[icarus]

Holy schmokes, Kenneth Lay is dead?

Right after he's found guilty of manifold counts of fraud in the Enron scandal?

Am I the only one who thinks this is probably suicide? Lay was a proud man. And now Skilling has to face the music alone. Things are going to go a lot harder for him now.

In other news: I've started the "John Screws Up" story, still a bit leery.

Writing NC-17 Het. Huh. That's a first.


ETA: Dear SGA fandom, if I continue to write NC-17 Het, will you still respect me in the morning?

A creamy smooth leg slid up John's side, calf skimming down his ass and the back of his thigh. Not a lot of women in the Pegasus galaxy shaved so this was nice. Even if on this planet it meant she was shaved everywhere else too.

He cupped delicate shoulders, lips parted as he surged forward again, eyes closing in bliss at her tightness and warmth around his cock. She arched, her breasts flattening, moan caught deep in her throat, whispering something in a language he didn't know though he understood it pretty damn clearly.

Of course we will!!!! :D

I never write het. Certainly never NC-17 het.

The boyfriend will like that, though he's asked me to make the sex scenes longer.

LOL. I understand. Sometimes things need to be let out of their cage, ya know?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

The longer sex scenes don't really work for the story. But I may write them just for his, um, pleasure. :D

I was surprised when I started writing NC-17 het (of course I was also surprised when my first smutty story was NC-17 slash), but you're strong, you can take it.

I also had a guy tell me that one of my smutty shorts wasn't long enough. Silly boys.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

"Wasn't long enough" means "I want to masturbate to this hot story and it needs to have at least 15 minutes of read-time for me to come (I can finish off the last five myself)."

I didn't even finish reading your post I just went straight to the site and read the article. And yes, my first thought was suicide, too.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering if, for the sake of family, money, and prestigious connections (such as Dick Cheney, anyone?) this will be declared publicly death by natural causes. I mean, check out the spin on this:

"I guess when you're facing the rest of your life in jail and in your heart you know you're an innocent man, I guess it's too much to bear," said close friend Willie Alexander.

Right. He was found guilty of all counts.

INNOCENT? Pfffft.

Karma's gonna get *that* boy, and I don't say that lightly.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I think there was a worldwide gagging sound the moment that quote hit the news. I'm still wiping the hot chocolate off the screen.

You know, if we all understood how merciless karma is, we wouldn't do half the things we do.

"Innocent" in the sense of "but it isn't actually wrong", I'm sure. Huh.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

*shakes head, appalled* I love how the guy says Ken "felt in his heart he was innocent" neatly avoiding any statement that he was actually innocent because, you know, convicted by a jury, going to jail... it sure doesn't look like innocence to me.

It's mentioned in the article that Lay's lead lawyer had heart problems too. It would be really wicked if Lay faked his own death with the help of the lawyer . . .

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

At first I thought, "that's too X-Files..." and then I remembered that we were dealing with the guy responsible for Enron. A total con.

We'll be seeing him in some coco capana republic without an extradition treaty, visited monthly by Cheney after Bush is booted out of office in 2008.

Oh, or the sicker, Tom Clancy version: Lay was being leaned on by lawyers after Cheney and, in exchange for a lighter sentence, planned give up the goods on those energy policy meeting notes Cheney's invoked executive privilege to protect.

Rumsfeld's new version of the CIA is called (no kidding -- the White House didn't like how ex-CIA directors exposed the lack of WMDs in Iraq, so a new military-controlled CIA-type office has been created, headed by Rumsfeld).

Suddenly, Lay has a conveniently timed heart attack. Hmm. Where's Agatha Christie when we need her. We'll be unearthing creepy scandals from the Bush years for the next 100 years.

They'd better do an autopsy to check for pulmonary embolism. All it takes is a syringe full of air in the right blood vessel to stop up the works.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I wonder if we'll hear the truth in the press, eh?

Icarus

[amalthia]

I'm rather sure I'll enjoy just about anything you write at this point. :)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

*soft smile* That's really kind of you.

Icarus

[jaig.livejournal.com]

It's okay, he's going to hell. :)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Is it wrong that I'm more amused than horrified at that thought?

Icarus

[jaig.livejournal.com]

No, not really.

lol Ack, *my eyes*!!

Uhm, this is odd, I seem to be having a rash of coincidental thoughts today. I woke up this morning thinking that 'Sheppard Het might not be so bad, and damn I have an idea.'

Fortunately I was able to rid myself of the idea almost immediately, but I'm left with the mental image of Shep Het. I see the story was posted, so I'll tackle that tonight!

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

LOL! Think what I must feel writing it. It's -- it's wrong for John to be with OC women. He's supposed to be slashed, isn't he?

I read John/Ronon last night and I'm not really ashamed.

What you saw was the Carson Gen. The Sheppard!Het story's pretty long and plotty, so it'll be a bit before it's posted. But I'm hoping to have a first draft by the end of the weekend.

I had the exact same reaction to the Ken Lay story.

I'm sure your story will be scintillating for people who read SGA stories. But I'm an SG-1 girl. And I'm getting a bit bored with slash even, let alone het. ....I need to get me some good gen stories, methinks...

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Have you seen merryish's story for the Jack and Daniel Fic-A-Thon? Very Gen-ish.

Thanks, recs are great of course. : )
