But don't you just see that? The epic Austrian vs. Prussian bitching? SQUEEEEEEEE! Please write that, it would be beyond awesome. Those two can even make discussing potatoes* sexy. Petulant Dieter makes me happy for some reason, especially when combined with sexually frustrated, morally ambiguous Landa. * I was reading a Viennese cookery book yesterday and the author spewed out a page on why the use of 'Kartoffel' on any menu in Vienna was an insult to Austrian culture and linguistics. It made me think of Landa.
I just don’t like the prompt I’m supposed to write, it’s rather similar to something I already did before in some other fic I wrote, and it does nothing to make me want to write again. It's refreshing to know that I'm not the only one suffering from this sort of writer's block. I rashly signed up for a 13-prompt short fic exchange a number of...months...ago (*grins shamefully*) and have writer's block at prompt 6. No new fic has come out with the pairing that makes me inspired to revisit that fandom. Which is surely better than having excellent fic coming out of one's ears and wondering why the writer's block doesn't affect anyone else.
No, really, I miss Hellstrom, I miss his dysfunctional relationship with Landa, I miss their pretentious intellectuality, their mindfucking, their wonderfully understated love for each other, the kind of love that still wouldn’t keep them from shooting each other if they could get away with it, except that they would be so very bored without each other. If only I knew what to do with them. Other than have them discuss literature in bed. ;) Your readers are less discerning than yourself and would be quite happy to have them quote obscure German literature to each other in bed. (Or in the office, or on a stakeout in a muddy field, or even in a tank if Hellstrom somehow contrived to shut Landa in one for a moment's peace.)
Am I the only one who thinks that Cal Lightman would have a field day with Landa? Don’t worry, I won’t write crazy crossover fic. The Australian ads for that show have a narrator with a disturbing tendency to pronounce "Lightmann" as "Eichmann." (Honestly!) There's crazy crossover fic for you...
