It's ten again, about time you showed your face amongst your co-workers, amongst your friends.
Just because you like your quiet evenings under the Christmas tree doesn't mean it's the Hollywood way. Go on, have a life, they say.
Catherine's hand warm on your arm pushing you out the door.
Right, how does this go again? "Hi," you say, walking in the door.
“Oh my god, Joe!” Torri says
“Joe is totally crushing on McKay,” David is saying, and, “Hi Joe.”
You smile.
“Last time I checked,” you say, “Joe was married and not crushing on boys.”
“He means John,” Torri says in her Dr. Weir voice.
“I mean John,” David says in his Dr. McKay voice.
“Well, that's different," you say, because they're expecting it. "I don’t know what John thinks, but everyone knows Rodney’s crushing on Sheppard.”
“He is not,” David says just to be contrary.
“Whatever,” you say.
David turns, and you know, you know.
You know.
You know how it’s going to go when David stands, arms wide and says, “Fine, I’ll prove it.”
You never particularly liked this part of acting. Some guys did, some guys really got into it, but you're never sure about what to do with your hands.
Maybe David's one of those guys who's fine with it. Who knows?
David’s mouth warm against your own pushing you back against the counter.
You knew.
You knew another guy named David once. Regular guy, regular Joe even hardy har har, everyone’s friend, good for a laugh. Dave, everyone called him.
The first day on set, you said, “Hey Dave,” and Torri said, “Oh no you didn’t.”
David said, “It’s David not Dave,” and “What’s for lunch?”
Whatever, you thought.
Whatever, you think. David pulls back and grins.
“See, nothing,” David Not Dave says to the room.
This is why you should've stayed with the writing, you think.
"I should have stayed with the writing," you say.

Addendum: It's drive-by guys so you know, not betaed, but it's also like 300 words so I doubt it matters.
And, she doesn't know this but this was totally because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

This line - “Joe is totally crushing on McKay,” David is saying, and, “Hi Joe.” is all kinds of awesome. Same goes for this one: The first day on set, you said, “Hey Dave,” and Torri said, “Oh no you didn’t.”
no subject
I um, technically have a longer work (and by longer, I mean, I've written about 5000 words maybe) in production but you know, there's all this plot to write. Blah.
And, I never wrote second person pov before SGA and then I came here and went: Hey, let's just throw a bunch of you's around and see what happens. I think it's because I was one of the lucky few who haven't really read bad second person though I hear it can be pretty gruesome so I'm all adventurous about it.
Also, you know I bet Joe totally is crushing on McKay like the rest of us.
Finally, am I the only one who thinks David Hewlett looks like a Dave? I mean, I can never actually see someone calling him Dave but he just has that air about him. I can't explain it.
no subject
Oh God, there is so much bad 2nd person out there. In my previous fandom - QAF US - there was this period where second person was totally the bestest new thing ever!!1! and every single writer had to try it. With disastrous consequences. Which is too bad, cause I love it (when done right) - it's more personal than 3rd person, and more detached than first (which I cannot read, ever).
Also, you know I bet Joe totally is crushing on McKay like the rest of us.
Damn right! :) Did you see the SGA special thingie
Hah, one of my first RL crushes was called Dave, so I associate that name with him first, but yes, I can see him as a Dave. It somehow fits with his laid-back personality.
no subject
I totally agree about second person usage. First person is almost always very painful and I used to hate second person because it just seemed so unnatural. I was very much a third person girl, but sometimes I start writing and it's like I want to "talk" to the character instead of talking about them or something so I get into second. Or I start the first line and oops, there's a you and now I can't switch back.
Ok, I'm a Mac and apparently my computer hates my enjoyment of SGA because that video will not play. So instead I will have to "imagine" what you mean by "goof around" and "giddy" and you know, if I'm thinking of Joe giving David a very enthusiastic blowjob, that's totally just because of what the words invoked. I mean, I can only work with I'm given, right?
Dude, I had three real life David crushes in roll (sadly, none of them were even remotely like Daves) in three different states all with a dot on their right cheek. It was very bizarre, but now I will always have a special fondness for that name.
no subject
Ugh, I'm trying to find some good examples, but ever since SGA took over my life, my involvement in QAF fandom has been minimal at best. I remember reading a lot of it on bjfic (aka Worst Archive Ever Which Listed OOC as Genre) - I was young and QAF was my first fandom, okay.
The worst fics are gone now, due to new management and the ban on rape/ooc/over the top fics (and ensuing flamewars *rolls eyes*). This author has some 'fine' example. I'm not responsible for probable traumas.
Here's someone who did manage to pull it off (and pretty much started the trend).
It took me a while get used to second person - it felt uncredibly weird to read it at first. But I've grown to love it. It's kinda intimate as well.
Yes, of course, that's pretty much what they showed. :D:D
Damn, sorry you couldn't get it to work. I tried opening it with VLC, but failed. It's a .wmv file, so it should work with windows media player. I have no idea if there's a mac version of WMP. I also tried to convert it to .avi, but both times I wound up with chipmunk voices. I screwed up the audio somewhere, but I have no idea what I did wrong. I'm sure spike will get a better version up soon.
Me too. Oh Dave. :X
no subject
And I remember
I have Windows Media Player for Mac but I get video and no audio. I get an error message about a missing codec, but it doesn't tell me *which* codec I'm missing. So I'm going to keep with my impression that a blowjob was giving because you know, all the boys are into it these days. ;)
no subject
Okay, I'm so out of ideas, except for this: another awesome person on my flist posted another rip of the same file here. I'd say give it a try.
no subject
I'll stop spamming now, I promise. *g*

When you say 'it will not play'.... I'm wondering why? It works like a charm for me (OSX, Pather 3.9). I mean, the copy's not that great, but it plays like a charm, so =D

Oh Mac, I love you but why doesn't anything work??

The first day on set, you said, “Hey Dave,” and Torri said, “Oh no you didn’t.”
David said, “It’s David not Dave,” and “What’s for lunch?”
YOU NEED TO WRITE MORE NOW. ONLY THEN WILL I TURN OFF THE CAPSLOCK!!!
no subject
ALSO, I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO SAY...THEY NEED TO TOUCH MORE LIKE THE LOTR BOYS FOR ME TO ACTUALLY HAVE THEM GET IT ON BUT YOU SHOULD TOTALLY CONTINUE IT FOR ME AND YOUR FIC AS WELL! DON'T TEMPT ME HO AND NOT FOLLOW THROUGH!
(This is starting to look a weird threatening letter of some kind but two can totally play at the caps lock game.)

“Joe is totally crushing on McKay,” David is saying, and, “Hi Joe.”
I LOVE that line.
no subject
I say, try it again sometime. It rocks. *g*
no subject
Because the thing is, it's not that you're getting away with it, but that it almost invokes Joe. Now that's an interesting personality trait! Veeerrry interesting.
