I got a tip!! At work last night, it was awesome. These guys came in desperate for food and took a couple of pizzas and some bread. They were so happy they told me "keep the change," which was like four dollars. Never gotten a tip like that before. Makes me happy.

Pimping time! [livejournal.com profile] starparty and I created a new community to cater to yet another of our obsessions: [livejournal.com profile] greekgodslash. Not much up yet, but if you're interested in the slashiness of Mt. Olympus, come join the fun.

Nearly done with two more chapters of Rainbow, as well as other stuff. I feel bad for neglecting my website of late, so I'm trying to gather a large chunk of stuff with which to update. Speaking of websites, I finally bought a domain name, now I just need to figure out wtf I'm doing. Me & website stuff don't get along. Minor detail.

Blargh, work in...2 1/2 hours. Food might be a good idea.

Oh yeah - joined [livejournal.com profile] annowrimo a while back, then forgot the comm decided to do the whole thing in March. So I've got three stories I could work on (I'd originally though two, but it just occured to me I have another). So, which one should I work on?



Treasure

This one I think everyone is familiar with. If not, try [livejournal.com profile] storytreasure

Embrace

This is my attempt at a vampire story, which several know to be my second least favorite...genre? of fantasy. So I'm trying to write a blood-sucker story I like. In this world, vampires are Pets kept by nobles and other members of the upperclass as signs of their affluency.

Grave

Genody Grave appears home two years after the death of his best friend and lover Yuri, and the families demand to know where the hell he's been. He refuses to explain, nor will he tell them how Yuri died. All the family knows is in the later from the King, thanking Yuri and his family for the man's noble sacrifice. Akaterina, Yuri's sister, won't take no for an answer. She demands that Genody take her to the King, under the dictates of an ancient law that says any grievance against the King may be put to him - and Genody as a Royal Soldier must escort her until the Grievance is stated. Reluctantly he agrees to take her, and so unfolds the story.

What can I say? I met my evil twin and all hell broke loose. And I'm not nearly this freaky in RL, trust me.

Yea, you two on the internet scares the hell out of me....course then the whole yaoi-pseudo lesbian but not really only on the internet craze really freaks me out....

no seriously, if you look at the whole genre, it really tends to come across that way..it's really quite bizzare...

I don't think so. Of all the theories I read writing a paper on the subject, that one never came up at all. Especially when you consider Yuri and femslash, the theory makes no sense.

yuri is guys slobbering over lipstick lesbians. And frankly that's horrid on it's own levels....
From a male perspective, I think it comes across way different than females think it does...

Actually, it makes sense to me... Seeing as my mind and body do not match up.

Slash based on Greek mythology? Considering how screwed up those gods were, it sounds interesting.^_^

oh yeah? interesting. It's honestly not something I've heard, except from people who thoroughly dislike yaoi/yuri/etc. perhaps I stand corrected.

come join! unless it keeps you from writing about Yuber, which I won't tolerate.

Until someone told me why, I couldn't understand why girls liked yaoi so much. That was my male side blinding me, I guess...

Slashiness of Olympus? I don't think that much of a stretch.
Heck, young Greek warriors in training were often courted by the veteran soldiers and instructors because women weren't too accessible in the "military" setting. From what historical info I have, acceptance of this was up to the young boy warriors. I don't know if it went something like, "I'll mentor you for your butt." Or, something like that.
Sorry, I just recently read one of my books on Greek myth and there was a lot of societal information in it as well.

Yeah, it's really not. Those guys were more promiscuos than anyone else I know. The mentor/student thing is pretty common to a lot of cultures, it was big thing with the samurai. Unusual that it was left to the younger boy though, that's rather a twist on things. Usually it's the older male deciding everything - I think.
