I know I've been vocal in demading new fics, so I'll ante up. I've finally finished my latest one, and it's posting here:
Nice
Nice fic, TJ!
And to please the rest of you - there are another 2 fics in my library shelf now. One of them - Senses - was as sort of experiment and I'd love feedback on whether you think it succeeded or not
Thanks, Maddy! I hope you like the rest of it as well.
Ooh... new ones? I haven't heard of Senses before. I'm off to look!
Oh, and Maddy, if you ever want to pick up Blackbirds again, LMK...

TJ this looks great can't wait to read more.
I love the way you got into Ken's head.
Will the Swan make it? Will she ever fully recover?

Of course she will, no more smut if she doesn't. She has too.
Doesn't she TJ?
Hmm, now that the Swan will sick for a while, she could focus her smut on the villains

LOL... one of the things I was worried about was getting into Ken's head. Unlike Katse and Mallanox, I have never been a man, so I'm not entirely sure I did that justice. But if any men reading the fic would care to comment it would be much appreciated!
As to whether or not the Swan will make it... I think that's pretty obvious, isn't it? The point is, it's not obvious to KEN, and that impacts the storyline...
As for villain smut... uh, no. The villain in this one is Katse. No Katse/Swan smut from me. Nuh uh, no way, no how.

... And yet you were willing to contemplate a little Zoltar/Princess smut. 
But then, that was in the Blackbirds context too - and there would have been more Eagle/Swan smut.
And yes - always ready to go ahead with Blackbirds too. I'll have to go back and look at where it was left!

Well, honestly, I wouldn't have ever done Zoltar/Swan smut in my own fic, but this one was yours, and completely understandable for the plot. It's also clear that Princess isn't in her right mind. Notice, however, that *I* never wrote the Zoltar smut, just Eagle/Swan...
(Semantics are important.)
I sent you a potential outline for Blackbirds awhile back... I don't know if it was any good or not. You can LMK if you don't still have it.

Tj love the new fic look forward to seeing what happens next.
Oh Maddy more fics!
Well I'm letting you all know that I have read the whole fic NICE....and I liked how TJ got into Kens head with it...
Ken to me was very good a hiding his true feelings and I think she highlighted it well...wether it is a male of a female you are writing about we are all human, and we have emotions, men are just taught (in the old world but still at times today) to hide them more, it is not a man thing to cry or show to much emotion etc...
So I like how you touched on his dedication to the bigger piccie and his need to protect those he loved...
The Ending is great and well written and you didn't really need much help with it at all, that's why your my beta reader!!!
I wonder what she's writing next?????

Originally posted by Tengu what was this blackbirds challenge?Not a challenge... Maddy wrote a fantastic setup to a very intriguing story awhile ago, and then dropped it. I read it and my imagination was immediately fired up. When she didn't finish it (and indeed, went into a non-writing period) I decided to join the 'ebil' list and write the next chapter for her, fully expecting that she would reject it, but that it would encourage HER to write more. Imagine my surprise when she liked it! So then I wrote a couple more bits and she wrote one, and then Maddy moved and it got lost somewhere along the way... Anyhow, it's called Blackbirds and it's on the Clubhouse in Maddy's section.

As for next, I'm setting up another humorous BOTP one. It's amazing how most of the funny ones become BOTP. It's like that series had more stuff to make fun of for some reason. 
I think it is the more perceived easy going nature between them it is easy to see the BOTP team creating mischeif than Ken and co.
It is a shame really

For some reason, to me, they feel younger in BOTP
and more mature in Gatch.
This may explain the 'innocent' mischeif they can get into.

Well, anyone who has read my fics knows that I am perfectly capable of writing completely silly Gatch stuff. But somehow, when I start out wanting to write a humorous/ridiculous one, BOTP comes to mind first.
I know the feeling TJ. For some reason BOTP silliness flows more naturally.

Originally posted by amyltrer So TJ, do you get inspiration for your ficcies from Duran Duran's music?Not until recently!
I have loved the song Nice for a few years now, and it occurred to me months ago that it really described Ken and Jun. Now even my kids call it 'the Ken and Jun song'. So i decided to write a fic to prove it.
That was the only one, honest... but then EBONY went and brought Duran Duran into the IF (although, to be fair, she was probably inspired because she was beta-reading Nice for me) so it's taken off there too.
BUT, the fic I co-wrote with Springie (my part's done, Springie just has to finish up the ending) has NOTHING to do with Duran Duran. Neither does the one I'm just starting right now,
Honest.
I swear.
Although, the way things have been going on this board...

I had an inspiration for a song based fic today!
Modern woman by Billy Joel for Ken and Jun...or Mark and Princess....
You see her sitting with her coffee and her paper
With her high top sneakers of italian design
With a long cool stare she aggravates the tension
Makes up her face while she makes up her mind
She's got style and she's got her own money
So she's not another honey you can quickly disarm
She's got the eyes that make you realize
She won't be hypnotized by your usual charm
Anyway I just had the image of the Eagle trying to make his moves on a Modern woman like the Swan...
It would be a fun fic!
