NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN!!!!!

This is getting fucking frustrating! Everyone around me is posting their Hanukkah fics, and my stupid fic still refuses to get written. Even the first draft isn't finished, because whenever I try to work on it, it gets more fucked up. First, I made the participating characters even more insane than they already are. Then, I decided to use flashbacks - I HATE flashbacks, I've never written any because I hate reading them, but my brainless fic idea only works with flashbacks. And as if all that wasn't bad enough, one of my characters suddenly started quoting Hegel. WHAT THE FUCK??? I'm not even writing about Landa, for God's sake! I'm starting to think that I should delete the whole thing and start anew, but I have honestly no better idea for the prompt I was given than the one I'm using now. It's actually a good idea, I think, except that it's so weird that it only makes sense in my brain, but not when I write it. Whatever, I'll just pretend my lack of sense and clarity is artistic and mysterious and complex. Or something. I just want to write something better than pointless porn with the pairing and the kinks my giftee asked for. :(
The worst thing is that I waited so long to write this because when I came up with this idea weeks ago, I was sure that I could easily write it down in two days, and voilà. But, no, everything always turns out to be ten times more complicated.
Why the fuck is he quoting Hegel? Seriously, Hegel? In bed? Not even IB characters should be so fucked up that they start lecturing their partner on philosophy and freedom during sex. *smashes head against the wall*

My Mengele character takes umbridge at this.
Philosophical question; is it worse for you (a Jew) to like nazis, or me (a descendant of collaborators)?

At least you guys all have an excuse. You can say, "Oh, I'm allowed to make jokes about this/drool at Nazis/whatever; I can't possibly be one myself!" I'm like Hitler's poster girl; people get all the wrong ideas when I say stuff like that. ;)
(Somehow that reminds me of this joke ... "My grandfather died in a camp ... He fell from a watchtower." :))

I love that joke ;)

So do I. I feel the constant urge to tell it everywhere and to everyone, but I'm afraid most people would give me outraged looks. *sigh*

I've started a game where I go up to random people and turn the topic to nazi jokes and see how long it is before I can get them to laugh at something really repulsive. I got a group of anime fans to joke at the idea of dressing up as nazis and streaking a group of Holocaust survivors.

If they do, I want photos. ;) Most people here just shut up and change the topic when I start going in that direction.

How does one dress up and streak at the same time? Unless you dress them all in Hakenkreuz armbands and nothing else.

Yes, you are a bit on the Wagnerian side! Yes, we can do "Springtime for Hitler" and get away with it. And twisted as I am, I do like that joke. I myself am a mongrel, who has her Christmas and Hanukkah too. A classic Deborah utterance oft-repeated in my family is a remark I made to my father when he hadn't eaten all his Hanukkah candy one year: "Will you eat that goddamn Maccabee? It's Christmas, for Christ's sake!"

Who knows. We all share in the same twisted fuckery. Okay, now I wanna read whatever you've written about Mengele, who was definitely handsome--but his experiments were so fucking stupid and pointless! I mean, seriously, they are the equivalent of Bart Simpson's evil twin sewing together the rat and bird. Jesus, if you're gonna have human subjects, at least do some decent experiments on them, like the CIA and the American military! :-D

I haven't really written it down yet, because it's an epically bizarre story mixing a whole lot of crossovers with Hellboy and Man with the Iron Heart and Inglorious Basterds, along with the whole 'occult nazis' tropes, with Mengele as the main character. I haven't dared write it out on my LJ because I think a bunch of friends may desert en-mass if I do.

May I shamelessly plug reich_writing? It *should* be screened so updates appear only to members, thus removing the f-list problem.
This sounds like a surreal but very entertaining story.
