Yay, just yoinked a ton of icons from shirozora's latest post... new default (lookit him, ain't he adorable?), and a bunch of random ones to be used at various points. ^^ I love having room for 35 icons after having only room for 6 for so long!

..yeah, that's really all I have to say in this post. :)

No, you're not a bad influence. You're a TERRIBLE influence. *rimshot* XD I imagine this is probably a good fandom for drawing people into through the fandom itself.

I'm not surprised, honestly. That offhand comment of about the Obamas choosing Anderson to be their puppy? Pretty much set it up, really.

Don't want recs, though. Take 'em away! XP I've got a few fics that popped up on crack_van that got my interest, but they've been relegated to my superlong To Read list so it might take awhile. (I knew Anderson as "That guy who wrote that book we keep getting cheap copies of". I wasn't even aware he was with CNN…. See what I mean about terrible influences?)

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

I try my best. :)

Lol, watch me... okay, so maybe a long multi-chapter fic wasn't the best thing to rec. How bout something short and funny? Like this (http://sarken.livejournal.com/1495447.html)? Which funnily enough, I read back in June as part of lgbtfest and recced on my LJ at the time... heh. Had no idea who Keith or Andy were the first time I read it. Or this (http://community.livejournal.com/camera3/4259.html#cutid1), which upon perusing my recent posts to find the time I know I linked to it, I discovered was actually one of the very first fics in the fandom I read since November. Heh. Short and cute.

Hmm, how much does his book cost there? For that matter where IS it? I was there awhile ago (guess you weren't working, least I didn't see you) and I couldn't find it...

[quettalinde.livejournal.com]

Nope, still gotta keep trying. Read the first rec when you recced it, and tried the second when you recced it too. Also tried the second again and lost interest. Huh. I suspect maybe this fandom isn't for me?

It's in Current Events, under C for Cooper, but danged if I remember how much it is. I'll let you know tomorrow, if I remember to look when I'm there. (I work 4:15 to close Sun-Tues, and Thurs-Fri, btw.)

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Aww, oh well, worth a try. :) I will picspam later and see if that helps. ;)

Cool, thanks.

I'm writing prompts for Porn Battle VII (http://oxoniensis.livejournal.com/393245.html) right now and it's getting ridiculously out of hand. XD Started off with some pundit-themed ones, then Tony Stark started getting involved (Tony/Anderson! And Tony/Rahm Emanuel (with prompt 'international incident' which for whatever reason is making me giggle insanely)! gah!), and now Jack Harkness is getting in on the action (still want my Jack/Tony fic, dammit...). Am now considering Jack/Rahm (Torchwood liasing with the White House! For some reason!).

...stop me. ;_;

(also went back and read the SPN/Oz fic I wrote for last year's Porn Battle V, and it wasn't half bad... go me. We'll see if any of this one's prompts inspire me, I guess.).

[quettalinde.livejournal.com]

I don't think picspam will help. Looking over your shoulder at pics on New Years didn't. But feel free to try anyway, if it makes you happy. ;)

It's $14. We have one copy at the moment. Didn't check how many the other stores have.

Okay, Tony can be shipped with anyone, seriously, we know this. I'm slightly surprised you didn't go for a Tony/Jack/Rahm threesome or something. Because, y'know, international incident could mean a lot of things. ;p Did you know there's an AU Torchwood series where Torchwood is in Chicago? I think I might've mentioned it. So you could totally do a Jack/Rahm thingy… except the AU Torchwood has Tennant!Jack… Ah well.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I was planning to do it anyway, just for kicks. ;)

Thanks for checking.

Mmm, intriguing. ;) I've actually started writing a Tony/Rahm snippet based on that prompt, because it amused me... Tony's been off blowing shit up in the Middle East or Afghanistan or somewhere and Rahm is Not Amused.

Then they have sex.

:)

[quettalinde.livejournal.com]

Okay then.

You're welcome. If you want a copy held for you, until you can come to get it, let me know.

Heheheh. What else are a superhero and a ballet-dancing politician going to do after an argument, honestly? Some days I think your brain is on crack. Mine too.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Hmm, no thanks, I'm good for now. :)

Well, clearly. ;) It's all laid out pretty clearly in my head; just need to write it now... Mostly it's going to involve Rahm yelling and swearing at Tony a lot. ^^

[quettalinde.livejournal.com]

I'm' seeing either Hot Make Up Sex or Tony telling Rahm to keep talking to him dirty.

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Something to that effect. Well, more like Tony raising an eyebrow and saying "are you going to shut up and fuck me anytime soon or should I go make breakfast until you've worn yourself out?" (noting that Tony's in bed at the moment, having been woken up by Jarvis because Rahm's been standing at the gate yelling for the past 30 or so minutes until Tony relented and said he could come in. And which point Rahm storms into his bedroom and yells at him some more. Well probably, I haven't written that far yet. ^^). I'm also going on the assumption that they have a bit of a prior relationship, ie I think I'm going to write them meeting earlier (thinking at one of the innaugural balls, though not sure which ones Rahm was at... not even sure if he was at any of them, gotta check that), at whicih point Rahm had laid out some ground rules ("don't go blow shit up without informing us first") and then Tony gave him a blowjob. Or something.

(I like the idea of Tony telling Rahm to keep talking to him dirty, though - mind if I use that if I decide it fits? ^_^)

[quettalinde.livejournal.com]

That works too. And I like the ball idea. You could even have it that Rahm and/or Tony can't even remember which one…

Sure, go ahead. ;) I kind of hate how I'm inspiring you with this, though. RPF porn is so not my thing. *headdesk*

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

LOL, sorry? ;) *iz a bad influence* I've never been much into RPF, other than dabbling in Lost RPS, Jared/Jensen, and the occasional other story. And never, ever thought I'd be writing a fic about the current chief of staff of the USA. O.o Can't quite bring myself to write about Obama, though - eek. Not really into the politific side of things at all, other than Rahm, and I blame that entirely on fandom (in that I learned about him mainly through fandom and as such don't think about him in quite the same way as other political figures who I was familiar with beforehand...). -_-

[quettalinde.livejournal.com]

Darn right you are! :D The current political fandom is insane. The levels of glee and creativity and fangirlishness over politicians, of all people, is … scary, actually. It's really like Obama and Biden and Rahm and Michelle and all those other Very Important People have ceased to exist in the real world, and are now solely fiction. And I guess, since so many people have entered through the fandom, that's sort of true. (Now, the question is, is there suefic? Somehow I don't see there being much if any.)

Sorry, I'm being intelligent again. ^^6

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I will remind you that you were the one who linked me to that Sarah Palin/Edward Cullen fic... XD (which reminds me, I still ned to read that...)

[quettalinde.livejournal.com]

Yes, but that's not porn and it was only really for the gloriousness of bashing Palin and Smeyer at the same time…

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

True. ;)

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, someone just wrote a short fic about Blago and Sarah Palin deciding to run together for 2012... ROFL. I'd link it, but it's in a locked post...
