Democratic Fic Recs and Cut-Tags

icarusHelllo, friends list.
At least one person has asked me to use a cut-tag for these recs when I put them up. I respected that and did so. Then another asked 'do we have to?'
Hmm.
Now it is standard to not use cut-tags for recs, but I did put up three looooooong posts of them in one day. I'd also rather not use the cut-tag (it sort of defeats the purpose of recs), but I'd also rather not annoy my friends.
I'll tell you what. If I promise not to post more than one of these per day, can we avoid throwing down the gauntlet and challenging me to a duel? Waddya say?

A different challenge
Date: 2003-09-25 06:23 am (UTC)*makes puppy eyes and puts on affected whiny voice*: Pwetty pwease, Icarus, pwease write me a ficlet?
*adds in tremulous voice*: It's my birthday! Pwease write me a ficlet!
*drops cute act*
Ok, so that was very shameless of me. But there we are - so if you're feeling inspired...
You know I swallow practically anything - though I love H/D, and of course I need my regular dose of Snarry love...

Date: 2003-09-25 10:30 am (UTC)Yeah, this reminded me of the 'bigger, longer, and uncut' school of South Park innuendo, whether it was intentional or not.
Icarus? Cut,4 inches +, closely cropped.

Date: 2003-09-25 10:58 am (UTC)Didn't another girl say something in Airplane about 'I've never done this before ... this is my first time' to every guy she hooked up with on the troubled plane? And there was a line of them, waiting to be with her?
*am trying to remember movie*

I'll read your posts and love them whatever you do, but I beg you and everyone else to consider the cut for any post over 3 paragraphs. Those of us (or am I the only one?) who have to pay for our net time in dodgy cafes with slow connections need to be able to flick through our friends posts quickly to work out which ones we have time to read in full.
And, cut or uncut, please don't limit yourself to only one post a day!! Your recs are a goldmine for me and I'd hate to lose them.
your devoted, if difficult, Kit

Date: 2003-09-25 11:55 am (UTC)My main memory of that film is a Saturday Night Live parody on the dance floor, and this hilarioussly camp guy running around, who had a really distinctive voice.

Date: 2003-09-25 11:55 am (UTC)Now hear this: I respect people who speak their minds. I don't respect cowardice.
It's a done deal then. I'll cut if I have to scroll.

I really don't mind, actually
Date: 2003-09-25 12:02 pm (UTC)Thank you, for the recs.
And no Fatwah for you!
It's official.
Date: 2003-09-25 12:07 pm (UTC)LOL!
Am loving the icon!

Date: 2003-09-25 12:48 pm (UTC)For general posts, my rule is that if I have to scroll down twice or more, cut it, although I admit that I'm most comfortable when I can cut my posts to one screenful or less. Notable exceptions include very important rants that you want everyone to read. However, for these recs posts, I don't mind them uncut at all, for the reasons I've already given.

Yet I cannot figure out a LJ cut-tag.

Re: And stop calling me Shirley
Date: 2003-09-25 12:58 pm (UTC)I loved the girl scouts in the Saturday Night Fever scene! Obviously the writers based it on my old scout troop.
Oh, and the 'From Here To Eternity' parody!
"We're going to strike at dawn, coming in from the north, under their radar."
"But when will you be back?"
"I can't tell you that. That's classified."

Date: 2003-09-25 01:07 pm (UTC)I think I'll not cut, but see to it that these are one scroll or less. I may cut long summaries to accomplish this.

Date: 2003-09-26 08:37 am (UTC)Where do you think I get my info? From Wilderness Guru's personal experience, LOL! (Especially 'Far Too Personal.') He loves going through my story and picking out the familiar bits. I use a physical description of him for Snape's physique in 'Primer to the Dark Arts' and WG loved it.
That said, if you find that website, let me know. I have read about what you're describing. Apparently you can bury the head of another man's dick in the foreskin (once it's been reasonably stretched of course).
