Too many stupid Landa/Hellstrom-ideas for one day

[linndechir]

I thought I had an idea for a Landa/Hellstrom-fic. But then I realised that I just want them to quote Schiller to each other in bed. And I haven’t even reread Don Karlos in ages. You can see that something is seriously wrong with my creativity when all I can come up with is have two Nazis quote gorgeous German literature to each other. And reading Musil’s Die Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törleß (The Confusions of Young Torless) gives me the crazy urge to write about teenage!Landa in an Austro-Hungarian boarding school. Or write about Landa and Hellstrom having some crazy discussion about why Landa is so very Austrian and why that annoys the hell out of Dieter (who is, let's face it, easily annoyed). What on Earth? Reading books is so not good for me, apparently. ;) But don't you just see that? The epic Austrian vs. Prussian bitching? Okay, I'm probably the only person who could get excited about something like that.
So, I’m still excited about the second blackwoodcoward  fic exchange. All those gorgeous fics coming up in a month! I love this fandom - it‘s tiny, but it has more really, REALLY great writers than most big fandoms. 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. But I’m a good girl, and I will probably come up with something soon. I shouldn’t complain, I just felt kinda disappointed when I read the prompt, and I needed to whine a little. I had hoped for something that would make me think, “Wow, this is epic, my writer's block is gone, I can’t wait to start working on this!” and not “oh, okay, sure, I wouldn’t want to disappoint my giftee”.

Maybe I should really write pretentious literature fic about Landa and Hellstrom just to remember when writing feels like. It would probably be even more snobby than the pretentious music fic I wrote about them. 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. 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. I miss Hellstrom’s half-hateful admiration for Landa, and Landa’s reluctant fascination with Hellstrom … I just miss them. If only I knew what to do with them. Other than have them discuss literature in bed. ;)

Anyway, I should focus on my fic for the fic exchange, instead of looking for supposedly legitimate ways of procrastinating. ;)

This was one of the better new collections of IB icons I'd seen in some time, but the Hellstrom one is most definitely the best! Although I've always loved your HELL strom icon.

Oh, but orgasms are so frigging difficult to describe!!! I mean, how does one describe something that feels like an almost, almost, almost, almost, ALMOSTTTT---There. At Last. And sometimes they can be rather explosive and it feels as though you've lost your head (which you have). The stars part though--WTF? It's not so much the actual orgasm but the build-up to it that needs the most attention paid. I can usually tell the level of a writer's sexual experience when I get a simple sentence like "after her multiple orgasms he finished off inside her." Yes, I've actually read that sentence--I know, yikes! Sometimes I wonder if some of the more virginal writers out there haven't even had orgasms from masturbation.

Not only did I look at blackwoodcoward, I joined it. ;-D

Yeah, I like it too, but I prefer the pictures used on your icon. Mhm. Difficult choice.

Sex scenes in general are difficult to describe. But I'd rather NOT read smut than read about people exploding. I don't care how "explosive" an orgasm is - if I read about anyone or anything exploding, I imagine little pieces of blood and flesh all over the bedroom wall, and that's just disgusting.

Glad to hear it. ^^ So I take it you found fics you like?
