I think Schellchen would insist that anyone who slaps him around be in SS uniform. Which will all the participants in our SlapFest would make for one very beguiling scenario. We haven't seen either Mark or Liam in SS uniform yet, have we? *rushes to message Machiavelli with more photoshopping requests*
It's funny that you should say that about Dieterchen in "Stille Nacht". That was my first Landa/Hellstrom fic, and Dieterchen in it seems to bear more than a passing resemblance to Dieterchen in parts 1 & 2 of "La Musica delle Parole"! ;-) My Dieterchen is entirely different in the other two stories you mentioned. I especially love the jaded, cynical Dieterchen in "One Evening in Nuremberg". I hope you'll read it and comment on it.
For me the slash pairings are always about the porn, but they do have to make sense. They can't just be randomly thrust together. There's more of that in the slash fics about the Basterds themselves (why Donny & Utivich?) You, Zoi No Miko and Nariel are my favorite slash writers. I won't pump up your ego further by gushing over how much I love your writing. I also love how raw Zoi's stories are, and how authentic the male voices and physical descriptions are. At first I thought she was male because her porn reads like so much of the gay porn written by men. The voices are very authentically straightforward, masculine and raw; there's very little introspection or angst. Mark Simpson and I were recently discussing women reading and writing slash--we met on Facebook, which I've found a wonderful place to meet other published authors. It's really come a long way from the silly little social site it once was. Have you read any of Mark's books? "Anti-Gay" is great. He was on a radio show with Jake Arnott recently, and afterwards I asked him and he very kindly agreed to ask Jake if the mirror scene did indeed appear in the original telecast of the BBC adaptation of "The Long Firm". So let's hope we get an answer to that burning question!
I'm not wild about OCs either, for the very simple reason that they usually aren't as interesting as the characters from canon. And I agree, too many writers don't make any effort to make them so. They're just too absorbed with projecting themselves into their OCs. Now what OC did you write and where is that story? I must know!
Firefly--I'll have to torrent it. Anything that would come up with something as witty and now universally used as "I'll be in my bunk" is well worth watching. And I'm always interested in good female characters. That's one of the reasons I've always preferred Tarantino to Scorsese (whom I value more as a film scholar than as a director, although he has made good films.) Tarantino writes wonderful women, and Scorsese has admitted he could care less about women characters. I find it very ironic that Scorsese finally won his best director oscar for the film that was least like a Scorsese film!
