It's been...oy, over a month since the reveal, so here we go. For yuletide this year, I wrote:

Bullshit, a Superbad fic for shanalle

Parallax, a Boston Legal pinch hit for das_kabinett


I was a little worried about writing anything that wasn't BL, but I have insane love for Superbad (maybe one day I'll write up a post pimping it), and once I got the voices down it was extremely fun. Particularly writing Seth. Coming out of the movie, McLovin was my favorite (my first go at the opening of the story focused entirely on Fogell; I had to take a step back and remind myself that the fic couldn't revolve around him) and Evan was probably the character most like me, but while I was writing...Seth was the one who came easiest. For a few days, I had his voice in my head. It was so much fun! I'm glad I had the chance to write it.

It also helped that Seth and Evan are basically Denny and Alan. Denny and Alan if they were not legally permitted to drink.

As for my Boston Legal story, it was originally going to be a five things fic (which I still hope to do), but I ran out of time and had to flesh out the first "thing." I'm not sure I'm entirely pleased with it, but the recipient seemed to like it and it got some very nice feedback, so.


Thanks to everyone who left feedback because I was far too lazy to reply to your emails! You're all very kind.

Regarding my poor, neglected character meme (honestly, anyone would think you people had things to do on a Saturday night), the characters were as follows:

1) Shirley Schmidt (BL)
2) Josef Kavalier (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay)
3) Chloe O'Brian (24)
4) McLovin (Superbad)
5) Alan Shore (BL)
6) Ari Gold (Entourage)
7) Lemony Snicket (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
8) Paul Smecker (Boondock Saints...I totally almost wrote Boston Legal)
9) Dexter Morgan (Dexter)
10) Stephen T. Colbert, DFA (The Colbert Report)


First of all, they'd both have to have consumed quite a few drinks. With that out of the way, "Rebel Rebel," possibly followed by "Queen Bitch."

And Paul might attempt "Cocksucker Blues," but I doubt any karaoke machine anywhere would have it.



This was impossible, since they're both complete workaholics.

Hmmm. Where should they go? Oh boy. Chloe's apt to regard anything "cultural"--movies, museums, rock concerts--as a waste of her time (in fact, Chloe's apt to regard dating as a waste of her time), and Joe's so preoccupied with work that he'd probably feel the same way. Honestly, their ideal date would probably involve eating half a nice meal, at which point Chloe gets a call from a certain party who shall remain Jack Bauer and spends the rest of the evening breaking into someone's house (with Joe's assistance) and accessing the owner's computer files.



Hell no, hell no, and assuming the participants in the jello wrestling aren't clothed, hell no. He'd be too distracted. (Otherwise, maybe. He runs very fast, that McLovin.)



Ari fully intends to hire someone to bully Lemony Snicket into doing all the bitch work, but since Lemony is rarely home (and always at extremely odd hours), Ari has to settle for hiring someone to curse him out for his tendency to enter their shared dwelling place via bedroom windows, underground tunnels, and so forth, and his habit of filling their fridge with very peculiar items (for instance, Very Fresh Dill).

Of course, Lemony is never, in fact, cursed out, because as soon as he figures out someone's been assigned to track them down, he dons a cunning disguise vanishes.


That is all. Thank you for playing.
