Our dirty little secrets.

icarusBeen hanging out at David Hewlett's dgeek.com forums the last couple of days.
It's been interesting, I've really enjoyed it. I probably won't hang out there much because my main interest in fandom is fanfiction, but watching the forums take root and grow and people freak out and then calm down has all been fascinating.
Poor David. People were so panicky about "things that might be posted!" he probably has some strange ideas of what's out there. People have mentioned concerns about legalities but I think that's disingenuous.
In reality, we'd be embarrassed if he found, say...

xanthelj's BDSM John/Rodney slash novels. Face it. If David reads fanfiction, we want him reading rivier's "Exigencies," not our guilty-pleasure BDSM porn.
- All our icons clipped from Century Hotel with captions such as "Heart-shaped ass" (with a heart drawn around his fanny?).
- The fact that 90% of the fanfic in SGA centers on Rodney, and most of that is John/Rodney. And that a huge percentage of that is rated NC-17.
- The Hewlett-head stuck-on-a-porn-star body photomanips.
- Even worse, the Hewlett-head and Flanigan-head stuck-on-porn-star-bodies and then stuck-together photomanips.
I've been thinking. What if David stumbled onto your fanfic? Are there any stories you wouldn't quietly die inside if he read them?

Date: 2006-09-16 09:37 pm (UTC)One of 'em is a Sam/Rodney set back in the pre-Atlantis period (http://www.paper-hearted.org/prose/knowmebroken.html). And the other is a friendshippy fic with Rodney and Ford (http://www.paper-hearted.org/prose/entropy.html) set in like S1.
I just don't know if I could face what would happen if he read the fics where yanno, Sheppard is doing his clone (http://www.paper-hearted.org/prose/99brill.html) or Weir is giving him the spanking to end all spankings (http://www.paper-hearted.org/unconditional.html).
The rest would just make me cry if he read. Or you know, come completely unscrewed start screaming, "Yes, I write fanfiction. Yes, I write slash. And *YES*, David Hewlett, when you play Rodney McKay you are a scrumptious little sex monkey and I think you'd look really hot doing buttsecks with everyone on Atlantis. Is that so *WRONG*?!?!?!?"
Then I'd curl up in a little ball and implode.
Unless he liked that sort of thing. Then I would burst into a million happy butterflies or something like that.
Whichever.

Date: 2006-09-17 12:27 am (UTC)I think I could handle him reading the one where Rodney goes back in time and writes an embarrassing missive to John (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/tracesthroughtime.html). He might be amused by the ficlet where John's wondering why the hell he's with Rodney (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/pastoralsymphony.html), and if he knew the fandom, he might get my deliberately appalling hurt/comfort spoof (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/appalling.html). The humor piece where Rodney manages to both insult and make a pass at Weir (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/breedingground.html) he'd probably even enjoy.
The Sumner wake (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/doowop.html) is mild and gentle, and given he's played gay characters, I wouldn't be too nervous about his reading the one where John and Rodney invent weapons in bed (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/pavlovian.html).
But I'm not sure what he'd make of Rodney as a figure skater (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/outofbounds.html) (I can see the strange look now), then there's that really detailed PWP where John's a little pushy (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/lastportofcall.html) (though it's the purely speculative description of his balls that makes me blush). I'm not at all comfortable about the one where Radek catches John and Rodney fucking (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/notaprettysight.html) since it isn't particularly flattering. I'm not sure he'd understand the one where John and Rodney had been captured for two years (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/stories/necromancyfortheliving.html).
Mostly I find that my fics have been surprisingly John-centric. Though I suppose that makes sense since I've been working on defining John.
*goes off happily to read your spanking-fic*
